Beaumaris is a well known historic town on the Isle of Anglesey situated on the Menai Strait and overlooking the 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 Snowdonia.

Beds were super comfortable. En-suite bathroom could do with a full shower and a bit of maintenance, but this is very minor. Great place that I'd very happily return to!

We loved having three different rooms to relax, watch TV or play games, often all being used at the same time by the three generations of our family. Bedrooms are large and comfortable but adults do need to remember to watch out for low beams in the top floor! Our grandchildren loved the huge selection of books and games to use. Parking was a slight problem for the first couple of days but as it was Easter weekend Beaumaris was extremely busy and one of the car parks was flooded. There were also no weekly passes available and we were informed that payment for parking on The Green nearby was about to undergo a new system. After Easter Monday we managed to find parking in the nearby streets behind the house. We really enjoyed our stay at Saint Seriol and would definitely return, especially as our 7yr old grandson has discovered his favourite pastime of crabbing from the pier!
