Choose Holiday Cottages in Anglesey, Relax in your Perfect Coastal Cottage Retreat
There are many wonderful holiday cottages in Anglesey for you to choose from if you want to really make the most of your vacation on this beautiful North Wales island. For a family, a couple or group of friends wanting to escape to a quiet seaside location yet with good road connections, you could hardly make a better selection than this green isle with a temperate climate and blessed 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.
There again, you may be keen to have a coastal cottage so that you are literally only a stone’s throw away from the 125-mile long Anglesey Coastal Path, almost all of which is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The sea and mountain views are absolutely breathtaking and you can just imagine walking down the garden path of your holiday cottage near Benllech, with sun rising on the horizon, and strolling along the coast before breakfast. Indeed there is a wide choice of coastal cottages in the Benllech area with some great beaches close by, ideal for the keen walker or lover of water sports.
It is quite possible for a holiday cottage in Anglesey to be a modern, four bedroom house sleeping up to 9 or 10 people or equally a warm, traditional farm cottage set in a restful copse, full of bucolic charm with game, sheep and cattle nearby, with sleeping accommodation for only 2 or 3 guest, and a small private garden with a fine apple orchard. These cottages will usually provide an access statement for guests with a disability, and TV facilities and hairdryers are also offered. Your average cottage will include central heating as standard along with a shower and bath and facilities for families with young children such as extra beds and cots.
If it is your dream to have your island cottage close to the sea so you can walk along a wide expanse of sand, with the glistening sea and setting sun ahead of you, then look to securing a property along the south west coast of Anglesey. From Newborough in the south, near magical Llanddwyn beach, to Aberffraw with its long quiet sandy stretches and thick marram grass and dunes to the surfers’ paradise at Rhosneigr in the south west, you have some great coastal properties to choose from.
In the far west you can find some quiet coastal cottages on Holy Island around Trearddur Bay and Porth Dafarch, both great beaches which have won the coveted European Blue Flag Awards, and there is access to the coastal path that can take you to iconic South Stack lighthouse and Holyhead Mountain. Over on the eastern side of the island there are some very sheltered locations for self-catering cottages near Llangoed and Penmon, where you can visit the famous Penmon Priory and Dovecote. Here you are also very close to the famous World Heritage site at Beaumaris Castle as well as the old Gaol, this is a character seaside town and a cottage near here gives you lovely mountain views of Snowdonia.
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.
