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.

Glad to see the loo seat and tap have been repaired from last time. The property is a bit shabby but is made up for in the views over the Straits which we love. Sadly the weather didn't encourage us to sit outside.

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.
