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.

We managed to get our jeep through the gates (we had no problem with them) and the enclosed courtyard was a safe outdoor area for our furry companions Ralph and Bella. The cottage is in an excellent location just a few short steps to the promenade and the centre of town where there are plenty of cafés, restaurants and shops from which to obtain supplies (and the odd Christmas present). The hotel next door has a sports bar much to the delight of my footie loving husband. Beaumaris itself is beautiful; a perfect place to relax and take in the magnificent scenery whilst on a stroll along the sea front (the sun even shone!). Our only quibble was the lack of info on how to operate the various appliances, TV and heating (but we managed to work it out so no harm done). All in all, a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

As other people have commented, the gates are a problem and should be replaced with ones you can open easily. It is handy to have parking. I did have to clean all worktops as there were old crumbs around and under the chopping boards when you moved them and the fridge wasn't clean at all. There was an awful smell which I tracked down to the rubber shower mats hanging on the back of the bathroom doors, so, once they were put in the cupboard, the smell disappeared. Maybe change them to odourless mats? These minor problems didn't affect our overall enjoyment and it really is a nice, tasteful, well equipped property.
