Along the northeast coast of Anglesey is the very large (4.5 mile-long) bay of Red Wharf Bay; its Welsh name of Traeth Coch (Red Beach) rining true as the area is renowned for its glorious sunsets. The bay is very shallow, and at low tide almost 10 square miles of sand is uncovered to provides safe bathing, perfect for family fun, fishing and miles of stunning, scenic walks. The large bay attracts a huge number of waterfowl and wading birds, including shell duck, grey plover, purple sandpipers, curlew, oystercatchers and dunlin. Only 3 miles away is the delightful medieval town of Beaumaris, which boasts a 13th century moated castle, lovely buildings housing excellent shops, olde-worlde pubs, restaurants, bistros, museums, as well as a golf course and exciting pleasure boat and sea fishing trips. This is a beautiful location on the east coast of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey.

The holiday let is beautiful and immaculate. John and James were fabulous hosts on hand if needed. The welcome pack, bed linen and towels were of high quality and very much appreciated. We had an amazing holiday exploring the island and beaches. At the end of the evening the ducks were very entertaining and put on a really good show. I would definitely recommend Pen Y Prys. Thank you John and James.

It has everything you may need, with a very generous welcome pack on arrival. John and James are very friendly and welcoming and on hand if needed. Excellent location for walks on the beach, bird spotting or just watching the changing views. Lots of places to visit nearby, Beaumaris, The Hidden Garden, South Stacks lighthouse, The Motor Museum also worth a visit ( did the Motor Museum on the one rainy day we had).The Panton Arms Pub nearby also good, very friendly and good food reasonably priced. Would definitely return and could spend a week just watching the Indian Running Ducks, Geese, and Chickens which were very entertaining, not forgetting Tom the cat! All in all a wonderful week for our first visit to Anglesey and donât think we could have found a better place to stay.
