You have a great choice of holiday cottages in Anglesey should you decide to make this beautiful island off North Wales your vacation destination. Offering a combination of excellent road connections and plenty of quiet, secluded seaside locations, an island cottage is ideal for a small group of friends, a couple or a family looking to escape from the hectic lifestyle, offering a temperate climate and spoiled with lots of sunshine.
Whether you decide to come to Anglesey in the summer or winter there is a wide selection of self-catering cottages for you to choose from, with some located inland near interesting historic attractions, like the last remaining working windmill in Wales at Llynnon. The country lanes are great if you like cycling and there are some designated routes passing cultural sites of interest. Many of the holiday cottages in Anglesey will still retain the traditional features, such as farmhouse cottages next to a working farm, where visitors can get a first hand view of life on a Welsh farm today.
Alternatively, you may prefer to stay in a coastal cottage right next to Anglesey Coastal Path which covers 125 miles of coastline within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here you can take in the truly magnificent mountain and seascapes are absolutely breathtaking and just think you could leave your cottage garden before breakfast and walk along the coast near Benllech, watching the sun rising on the horizon. You will find there is a wide choice of coastal cottages around Benllech which has some fine beaches nearby, suitable for families who enjoy water sports and for those keen walkers.
You will find that a holiday cottage in Anglesey could be a modern designed, four bedroomed house which can sleep up to 10 people or a small traditional farmhouse cottage in a secluded copse, with pheasant, cattle and sheep nearby, which caters for just 2 to 3 guests, and privacy enhanced by hedgerows and a secluded garden with fine apple orchards. Guests will find most cottages offer central heating, washing facilities and a shower, and young children are catered for with extra beds and cots. An access statement for people with disabilities is often provided and these self-catering cottages have a hairdryer, a TV and satellite arrangement.
Just think how you could be taking a short strole from your beach cottage and within a minute or two be walking along a wide sandy expanse, and you look out to the glistening sea and soak in the scene as the sun sets. Such a picture is possible if you secure a lovely coastal cottage along the soft south west coastline of Anglesey. From as far south as the mercurial Llanddwyn island and beach near Newborough to the very quiet Aberffraw with its long stretches of marram grass and sand dunes, and further west to Rhosneigr where surfers and dinghy sailors gather, there is an excellent range of coastal cottages to appeal to most tastes.
In the far west of Anglesey there are European Blue Flag award winning beaches at Trearddur Bay and Porth Dafarch, and nearby there are some quiet coastal cottages on Holy Island within easy walking distance of the coast. If you stay here you could easily join the coastal path and visit the iconic South Stack lighthouse, and watch marine life off the cliffs from the RSPB Ellins Tower. Back on the eastern coast why not stay in a coastal cottage in sheltered spots near Penmon and Llangoed, where you could visit the historic Penmon Priory, Dovecote and Seiriol’s Well. This is also a good location from which to visit the famous UN World Heritage site of Beaumaris Castle from where you can enjoy some breathtaking views of the Snowdonia mountains.
You may be wanting to stay on this beautiful isle for a weekend or a week, either way you can be confident of finding a suitable island holiday cottage to meet the needs of your group or family. For some the ideal holiday is coasteering, kayaking, sailing or surfing, while others opt for a more sedate and relaxing break, perhaps visiting attractions such as galleries and museums or walking the coastal path. Whatever you decide to go for, the best way to prepare for your island vacation is to book one of the many fine, character holiday cottages in Anglesey.
