This charming stone cottage, which still bears the datestone of 1816, sleeps four guests and is ideally placed to explore the attractions of this lovely corner of Anglesey. Beaumaris is a captivating seaside town with a fascinating mixture of buildings, from Victorian to medieval. Take a stroll through the streets and admire the picturesque cottages, often painted in soft colours. There are many independent shops, excellent restaurants and lively cafes where you can stop for refreshments before heading for the seafront. This lovely walk takes in the pier and wonderful views across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Snowdonia. From here, catch a boat to Puffin Island or look out for wildlife on a seacoast safari. Visit historic Beaumaris Castle, a designated United Nations World Heritage site, and discover why this massive edifice is classed as an unfinished masterpiece. Also well worth seeing is the impressive 12th-century Penmon Priory (4.5 miles) and the huge dovecote nearby, which dates back to 1600.

Steps from the road lead to the semi-detached cottage, which is all on one level. An entrance hall opens to the living room, full of light from the two-period sash windows. There are two leather sofas where you can take it easy in front of the Smart TV and cosy, flame effect gas fire. A fine antique Welsh dresser displaying beautiful contemporary Portmeirion pottery and prints by a local artist add extra interest to this welcoming room. The spacious kitchen has a cream colour theme, with sleek units and attractive dining and chairs in the same shade. From here, a door leads to a small sunroom with large fun bean bags to use either inside or out. Both bedrooms are stylishly furnished, with Hypnos mattresses to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep. The king-size bedroom has a lovely view of the pretty church opposite from its sash window, while a twin bedroom with a TV overlooks the rear garden. A spacious bathroom provides a bath, large shower cubicle and WC. There is also a cloakroom with a WC,

To the front of the cottage is a small lawn. To the rear, a large courtyard garden enclosed by stone walls has a mixture of grass and paving, making it an ideal place for children to play. There is sturdy garden furniture.

The cottage was really nice equipped with everything you would need. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen layout was very good. The outside area was a real suntrap. The location to the town was ideal. The owner made very good recommendations about places to eat. We definitely recommend a visit to Penmon.

This is a beautifully appointed, recently renovated former school, with an interesting history, in the very heart of Beaumaris. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and informative. Plenty of space inside, and a small, but well designed garden space to enjoy outside. Close to all the amenities Beaumaris has to offer -Read more and there are plenty! We really enjoyed our stay, and would happily book again if we get the chance. Hide

A beautiful cottage. We really liked the calm, unfussy decoration and furnishings which were all high spec. It made for a very relaxing week. The location is great - right in the middle of town but in a quiet, tucked away spot.
