Walkers can join the Anglesey Coastal Path, which takes in the entire coastline of the island; head north towards Holyhead and encounter the RSPB South Stack Nature Reserve and picturesque standalone lighthouse, as well as the Iron Age hillfort of Caer y Twr, which can be found at the summit of Holyhead Mountain. Venture south towards the lovely beach of Porth Diana and its nearby Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve or tour Anglesey Sea Zoo and Plas Newydd House and Gardens before visiting several lakes for a picturesque stroll or picnic lunch. Slightly further afield, you can cross the Menai Bridge to the mainland to discover Bangor and nearby Penrhyn Castle, Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and the historic town of Conwy! Enjoy a memorable coastal getaway at 4 Y Bae!
The western shore of Holy Island is where you'll find Trearddur Bay. It's breath-taking with miles of sandy beaches and rocky coves tucked into a broad, grassy peninsula (European Blue Flag). In the summertime, most visitors come to Holyhead to play golf or enjoy the excellent 18-hole links course or to partake in one of the many watersports available. The South Stack Lighthouse rspb Reserve is a great place to go birdwatching, and there are also many rock pools and cliff top walks to discover. Trearddur Bay has its own selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants, and the larger town of Holyhead is just a short drive away, where you can take advantage of even more services, such as a top-notch leisure centre, a picturesque waterfront, a marina, the second-longest breakwater in the world, and thrilling ferry excursions to Dublin. If you find yourself in Holyhead, be sure to check out the Maritime Museum's excellent cafe and the beautiful Holyhead Breakwater Country Park, where you can go for walks.

The apartment was clean and had what we needed, the bedding was clean but needed replacing a welcome pack would have been a nice touch.

A modern, light airy apartment with plenty of room. Unfortunately the standard of cleaning was very poor. Food debris in the microwave, poor standard of cleanliness eg saucepan, crockery and glasses. The dishwasher was broken, dirty and smelly inside with food debris in the bottom. The washing machine soap dispenser was black with mould whilst 2 of the bathroom cabinetâs shelves had black liquid on them. The balcony door was difficult to lock which the owner temporarily rectified whilst attempts were made to arrange for a plumber to fix the dishwasher but we decided to cope without its use. It was also frustrating that we had to ask for hand towels,Tea Towels and black rubbish bags which were all missing from the apartment. All these issues disrupted and spoilt the beginning of our stay. It is also worth knowing that there is frosted glass on the balcony so no view when sitting down. This is a lovely apartment so it is unfortunate to have to mark it down.
