Jump in your car and drive over the Menai Suspension Bridge, which will lead you to Anglesey, where you can visit Beaumaris, here you can take a fishing trip, see the sights on a fast boat ride, visit the castle and venture down to the cells in the dungeon, stop at the quirky shops or sit on the front and enjoy the delights of the cafes.

It is the main crossing point for the Isle of Anglesey with two road bridges across the Menai Strait.

Bangor and the Menai Straits really do offer the best of both worlds!

I may be elderly but definitely not unaware of his games. Must be short of something to do. I would not recommend anyone going there if they feel the cold. 20% seemed to me and. British Gas to be the correct temperature for this time of the year.

Therefore, my father, who is disabled wanted to go home due to the bungalow being cold. Unfortunately, this ruined our holiday.

Spectacular views over the mountains from the dining kitchen. Single beds are more suited to children than adults, due to the mattresses. It is up a short single track road. From an access point of view there is one step into the porch and another one into the bungalow, then level inside, there is a shower stool as well, which was useful. Lovely hosts, would recommend, thanks for a lovely holiday.
