About this property
This beautifully renovated, mid-terrace cottage sits down a quiet street, close to the centre of Beaumaris, on the scenic Isle of Anglesey. Boasting character, Georgian features with an enclosed patio, Seagull Cottage is a delightful bolthole to call home whilst exploring this coastal location. Enter a gorgeous sitting room, furnished with plush sofas that invite you to sit quietly with a good book, whilst the crackle of the woodburner gently puts you at ease. Cross over to the kitchen, boasting glimpses of colour and creativity to draw you in, along with a host of handcrafted units, reclaimed shelving and all the mod cons required for home-cooking.
On those warm evenings, step out to the enclosed courtyard where sunlight abounds and provides an ideal spot for alfresco dining. There is also an external utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, so you can easily stay on top of your laundry. Whisk away up a stunning Georgia staircase to reach the first floor, where you can get comfortable in the bedrooms, choosing between a sumptuous master bedroom with four-poster king-size or twin, each beautifully furnished with lots of attention to detail. Head to the bathroom and relax in bubbles galore or choose a quick refresh as there is so much to explore.
Within a short walk you can reach Beaumaris high street, where you can find a wealth of restaurants and pubs to sample, along with a convenience store for grabbing the essentials. Head to Beaumaris Castle, where you can uncover a fortress of near-perfect symmetry, wander along the pretty seafront and head down the pier, or embark on a Seacoast Safaris- Puffin Island Boat Trips to explore the local wildlife and landscape. Further afield, there is plenty of historic adventure to be had in Caernarfon, including Caernarfon Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Caernarfon Golf Club, and the indoor Beacon Climbing Centre.
Choose Seagull Cottage for an excellent escape to Anglesey.
The most beautiful sunrises may be seen in Beaumaris, a well-known ancient town on the Isle of Anglesey that is situated on the Menai Strait and overlooks the Snowdonia mountain range. It is also well-known as a significant hub for sailing, with its Edward I-era mediaeval castle (now a World Heritage site) and Victorian pier, jail, and courthouse. With a long history, Beaumaris still has a lot of its original mediaeval street layout. The town's environment, diversity of architectural styles and eras, variable scale, open spaces, different roofing, and overall quality all play a significant role in the character of the community. In addition to a golf course close by, the town offers a good assortment of stores, eateries, and bars, as well as options for boat trips and fishing. Red Wharf Bay, also known as Traeth Coch (Red Beach), is a sizable bay along the coast that is well-known for its spectacular sunsets. Due to the bay's extreme shallowness, approximately 25 square kilometres (10 square miles) of sand are exposed at low tide, making it safe for swimming, excellent for family outings, fishing, and miles of breathtakingly beautiful hikes. The port of Holyhead, farther away, has frequent ferry connections to Dublin. Beaumaris is a great starting point for seeing Wales because of its ideal location on the south coast of the charming Isle of Anglesey and proximity to the magnificent Snowdonia mountains.

It has everything you need and the kitchen is really well equipped, although a fridge with a small freezer section included would be ideal. The stairs are narrow and steep and I therefore wouldnt recommend it for anyone a bit unsteady on their feet. We had an issue with the shower whilst there and whilst the owner wasnât able to fix it during our stay he was very apologetic and I have no doubt heâd have fixed it if we werenât there over the new year when everything is shut. Loved our short stay here and would definitely recommend it.

The property has been put together with attention to detail to meet needs, whilst also offering added interest with the artworks and furniture (we loved the bird wallpaper in the upstairs hallway). The house was 5 mins walk from the sea, 2 mins from a delightful bakers and very close to all amenities offered in Beaumaris. We had a great stay.

The facilities in the kitchen were excellent and it was nice and comfortable; we also liked the decor and pretty much everything else about it. Our only two issues were 1. The bath mixer tap. After our first time of use, we found it impossible to get it to run at any other temperature than piping hot meaning that showers were out of the question and we had to keep a saucepan up in the bathroom to add cold water after we'd run the bath. 2. The blurb suggested that parking was a possibility across the road, but this was not the case. We found parking for £35 covering the week down at the car park on the sea front and this suited us well enough. We feel the parking situation ought to be more clearly laid out in the literature. But overall, it was a delightful place to enjoy a week's holiday. We have put "Yes" in the box below, but will understand if you don't wish to publish the feedback because of the minus factors Thank you.
