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.

There were a few things that could be improved upon maintenance wise. Really dirty windows and door knob dropped off in hand. Also bedroom door didnât close. Rug in kitchen a hazard as all corners curled up and could easily cause a trip/fall. A cherry picker type vehicle parked in front of property for the whole stay as property opposite being painted. It did mean we were overlooked in two bedrooms annd living room and view was tainted. Not owners fault but it was a shame.

The bathrooms and fittings are good quality and meet the needs of the number of guests. The apartment is close to all amenities and has fabulous views of the Menai Straits and mountains beyond. There are a few little niggles like broken or missing locks on the bathroom doors and one or two blinds had cords that needed replacing. The grill and grill pan had not been cleaned. Some of these probably are as a result of wear and tear after a busy season. A workman was repainting the front door during our stay so there was evidence of regular maintenance. None of this detracted from our stay in the apartment. Hopefully, our main and most important observations are very positive and we would definitely recommend the apartment and return ourselves on the future.

However, one of the bathrooms had a partially working lock and the other didn't have a lock at all. The twin bedroom is suitable for small children not adults due to the very thin mattresses which was in complete comparison to the other 3 very comfortable bedrooms.
