Locally
An Sea Views’ Anglesey holiday provides the perfect opportunity for exploring the local coastline and beaches all within easy reach. The property commands stunning views towards South Stack Lighthouse from its glorious location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Site of Scientific Interest on coastal farmland close to Holyhead Mountain.
Enjoy fantastic sunsets over the Irish sea, or take in some of the most spectacular coastal walks and views to be found in North Wales. Within minutes from the cottage you are on the RSPB reserve where cliffs here are a haven for breeding seabird colonies including our favourites the puffins, whilst the sea below is home to grey seals, dolphins and much more. The beautiful sandy cove Porth Dafarch is just 3⁄4 miles away and just beyond are a fine selection of beaches, pubs, shops and restaurants in Trearddur Bay. The bustling port of Holyhead, for day trips via ferry to Ireland, is only a short, 2 mile drive away. While for those of a more sporty persuasion, golf, fishing, sailing, walking, kayaking and pony trekking are all easily accessible.

Spend a day at Plas Newydd Country House and Gardens (NT), the home of the Marquess of Anglesey, with spectacular views of Snowdonia across the Menai Straits.
