Beaumaris is a well known historic town on the Isle of Anglesey situated on the Menai Strait and overlooking the Eryri (Snowdonia) mountain range, making for the most stunning of sunrises. With its medieval castle (now a World Heritage site) dating back to the reign of Edward I and its Victorian pier, gaol and courthouse, it is also known as a major centre for yachting. Beaumaris is rich in history and retains much of its medieval street pattern. It’s setting, diversity of architectural styles and periods, differing scale, open spaces, varying roofs and overall quality contribute greatly to the town’s character. There is a good selection of shops, restaurants and public houses, as well as fishing opportunities and boat trips in the town, plus a golf course nearby. Along the coast is a large bay called Red Wharf Bay; its Welsh name is Traeth Coch (Red Beach) and the area is renowned for its glorious sunsets. The bay is very shallow and at low tide, almost 25 square kilometres (10 sq. mi.) of sand is uncovered providing safe bathing, perfect for wonderful family fun, fishing and miles of stunning scenic walks. Further afield is the port of Holyhead, which has regular ferry links to Dublin. Beaumaris is a good central base for touring Wales, in a beautiful location on the south coast of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, within easy reach of the spectacular mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia).

Sian
Main bedroom so comfortable and 2 armchairs for watching late night or early morning Tv. Well equipped kitchen and nice little courtyard garden with plenty of garden furniture. Only downside was that just the one toilet which was up stairs and they were rather steep! Didn't spoil break though and was mentioned in details. Cottage was well located in Beaumaris pubs and restaurants at bottom of hill. Indian restaurant Sarisa was particularly good. Not much parking around the cottage but again this was mentioned in details and the green is only a 10 minute walk away and £6 for 24 hours.

A well-equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge & bedrooms, and a sunny courtyard with BBQ - everything we needed was at the property, although just the one toilet for a party of 5 was a bit of a pain at times. Note that the stairs are very steep and might be a problem for someone with poor mobility or balance. The property was just a few minutes walk away from the shops, bars and restaurants. Parking: We couldn't find anywhere to park near the property on the first evening so paid £3 to park overnight at the main carpark on the green (6 minute walk). We then went back to the carpark first thing the next day and paid for a weekly parking pass which cost us £35 plus £10 deposit, which gave us a a barrier pass so we could enter at any time of the evening. We picked Beaumaris because it's handy for beaches in Anglesey and also for Snowdonia. We had brilliant time at the following places: Aber Falls; Moelfre Beach; Trearddur Bay; Crabbing on Beaumaris Pier; Red Wharf Bay; Coastal path walk, starting at Bull Bay; Cemaes Bay; Penmon; Cwym Idwal. Food out was brilliant, notably: Liverpool Arms; Sarissa (Indian, 1 minute walk from the cottage); Pizza at Penmon; Conwy Dutch Pancake House; Neptune fish & chips.
