One of two bridges connecting Wales to the mainland is located in this charming town, which is situated right on the edge of the Isle of Anglesey. It's a terrific place to stay while on vacation and for touring this stunning island. The well-known Saint Tysilio, who is commemorated in the 15th-century St. Tysilio's Church, lived on Church Island, off the coast of Anglesey, during its long history, which can be learned about in the Menai Bridge Heritage Museum. Menai Bridge itself has a good selection of stores, bars, and eateries. The Pili Palas butterfly palace, which is a favourite among families, as well as the breathtaking Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens are just a couple of the attractions that make this a great place for entertainment. You outdoor enthusiasts may drive to the Snowdonia National Park, which offers fantastic walking and cycling trails as well as opportunities to see some stunning sights. There are several magnificent locations closer to the town, including the well-known towns of Beaumaris and Caernarfon with their imposing castles and a wealth of other things to do.

Was lovely to sit out on the balcony enjoying the stunning views. Ceris lodge has everything you need for an enjoyable stay our dog also enjoyed. Only a short walk across Menai bridge where there's lots of places to eat and lovely walk around church Island.

The property was not to the standard expected. On arrival the toilet seat in the en-suite bathroom was not fixed properly, and one of the basin taps was at right angles to the sink, facing the other tap. Excellent response from the housekeeper who had the issues resolved in an hour. The property was very cold, and the downstairs bedroom area was damp. The wall at the bottom of the stairs was wet to the touch, and the en-suite bedroom had an ill-fitting external door which was drafty. The instruction book for the property contained incorrect information. It specified laundry bags to be used, but these were not provided. The instructions on how to use the central heating were incorrect, specifying a hive control which was not connected the the heating system. There was no ability to recycle, as all rubbish had to be placed in the single black bin outside. We actually vacated the property a day early, and would not be happy to recommend it. The place needs some updating, especially to resolve the damp issues, but also to ensure the instructions are correct for future users.
