About this property
The Anchorage is nestled in the grounds of The Lobster Pot restaurant, just yards from the sandy Blue Flag beach in Church Bay. This spacious four-bedroom house offers a wonderful base for family holidays, birdwatching, sea kayaking and coastal walking on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey. Bring your family and friends to share a memorable break where you can truly get away from it all and make yourselves at home at the end of each adventure-filled day. The entrance hall welcomes you inside, where you can hang up your coats and kick off your walking boots or sandy flip-flops, before cooling off with a refreshing shower and unwinding into your evening. Find the sitting room a pleasant space to relax, with the woodburning stove ablaze in the corner and fabulous sea views to drink in as you indulge with a chilled glass of wine. Head through to the dining area to enjoy a tasty meal cooked up in the fully equipped kitchen, afterwards you can get out a board game on the table or tune into the TV. You have four well-appointed restful bedrooms, each with ample storage space and uplifting colour schemes. Outside, there is a small lawned garden with picnic bench to enjoying a spot of alfresco dining during the summer season. If you fancy an evening off from the cooking, The Lobster Pot restaurant offers a delicious menu including fresh local shellfish, situated just a stroll across the garden. Church Bay is an enviable destination for a holiday, set within unspoilt countryside offering magnificent, tangerine sunsets and a scenic coastal path winding its way over wild primroses and bluebells. There are many opportunities for fishing and wildlife spotting, while Anglesey Sea Zoo and the historic town of Beaumaris offer a lovely day out with the family. Enjoy a rejuvenating break and build some wonderful memories here at The Anchorage.
Church Bay on the Isle of Anglesey boasts a superb seafood restaurant and a Blue Flag sandy beach, renowned for its kayaking, fishing and birdwatching. Wales' only working windmill is within easy reach and you also have climbing on offer in Snowdonia. Spend the day at Anglesey Sea Zoo, visit Beaumaris Castle and take a boat trip past Plas Newydd Mansion.

Lots of bathrooms/toilets so no fighting over facilities. Well equipped kitchen. Nice places to get food locally if you want a treat or night off cooking. We also find having washer machine and drier essential (washing machine has been upgraded since last year). Lovely little old style shop in Llanfaethlu if you realised you need something and donât want to trek to the bigger supermarkets. The only future negative for us is itâs now a Friday to Friday let.

The accommodation provides all the facilities needed for a multi gen holiday, with a spacious porch for coats, shoes, and beach gear and a comfortable bright open plan living area. The separate utility room is a bonus as are the ample bathroom/shower facilities which enable privacy and comfort for all. I cannot fault the facilities and the location for Church Bay cannot be bettered. Worth a visit is the Wavecrest cafe, which offers an excellent menu and superb customer care, but limited opening hours. Guests are given a discount at the Lobster Pot restaurant but booking at least 24 hours in advance (even for lunch) is essential, the price point and portion sizes do not correlate and the staff are edgy and inflexible. Far better to use the very well appointed kitchen at the Anchorage and enjoy the sunsets over Church Bay from the private walled and gated garden at the front with a glass of wine and a BBQ! Waking up to the sea views from the double bedrooms at the front is good for the soul. The owners are charming and helpful, there is private parking (needed in high season) but extra care does need to be taken with small children and dogs as the road to Church Bay is busy and there are some large commercial vehicles moving around. We wouldnât hesitate to recommend the Anchorage for location, comfort, facilities and overall presentation - and of course the stunning cliff top walks on the doorstep.
