Be spoilt for choice when it comes to attractions upon the isle, where you can discover the Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens, Pili Palas Nature World, Plas Newydd House and Gardens, or Anglesey Sea Zoo, whilst crossing over Menai Bridge will bring you to the Plas Menai National Outdoor Centre, sure to offer an afternoon of fun upon the water. The seaside town of Caernarfon is reachable by car, home to a marina, popular golf club, and stunning castle, recognised as one of the most magnificent fortresses around the world, or if you'd prefer to feel at one with nature, explore Snowdonia National Park, brimming with picturesque landscapes. Experience all of this at Llys y Graig.
On Anglesey's north-eastern shore, a little, charming village called Pentraeth may be found by the banks of the River Nodwydd. It is situated between Llanddona beach and Red Wharf Bay, which offers more than 4.5 miles of sandy coastline, and features a town chapel that goes back to the 12th century. The Welsh name for Red Wharf Bay is Traeth Coch (Red Beach), and it is well known for its spectacular sunsets. The bay is ideal for excellent family fun, fishing, and miles of breathtakingly beautiful scenic walks because it is quite shallow and offers safe bathing. Numerous wading and waterfowl species, such as shell duck, grey plover, purple sandpipers, curlew, oystercatchers, and dunlin, are drawn to the enormous bay.

Thereâs easily enough parking for 4/5 cars outside the house. Inside the huge living room was great fun, loads of settees and chairs & an old school piano the kids loved! The bedrooms are large & comfortable. The bathrooms are nice & clean and plenty of hot water. The large kitchen with separate pantry, dated but very functional and well stocked, lots of storage room. The owner kindly allowed us an early check in which is always a big bonus. All in itâs a lovely old mansion with lots of character only 300 yards to the shore at Pentraeth with friendly neighbours who where welcoming.

Jane the owner was lovely and was there on our arrival. We received a welcome basket with essentials and the fridge was stocked with milk (much appreciated). A few small things werenât perfect, such as⦠Upstairs could have been a little cleaner, little dusty and some insects. No door on the dryer, which made it unusable. Bath upstairs was unusable. We understand that with old houses like this there may be a few hiccups. Despite these small things we really loved our stay here.
