Castle View is a place of huge comfort and charm, hugged by views of Beaumaris castle and glimpses of sea and mountains too. Slap bang in the middle of Beaumaris with a super inn opposite, this immaculate bolthole with an unassuming cream frontage and sash windows is magically more than it seems. For one, it is strolling distance from Beaumaris’s glorious seafront, but the icing on the cake has to be the closeup view of Beaumaris Castle from the king-sized bed - imagine waking to that view and sitting there with your morning cup of coffee!

Step inside and up a steep narrow stair, this place is cosy and compact, yet somehow manages to feel airy, roomy and light. As one guest remarked - "it is hardly little!" With high ceilings and plenty of light pouring in we have to agree it is the perfect bolthole for two. Stretch to one more on the sofa bed upon request - a flexible bolthole for two becomes three.

You can be nicely private here on the first floor, just sit and watch the world go by in the bright sitting room from the comfy sofa. Talk about a room with a view!

Come evening time a new electric log burner provides a warming glow. Switch off the lights and enjoy the castle lit up for all to enjoy.

There's a smartly-equipped, gleaming kitchen for those who wish to dine in. A table sits proudly in the centre of the kitchen begging for long dinners together. The bedroom is dressed with fresh crisp bedding and a large window to frame that view. The shower room is off the bedroom and is small and sweet.

Everyone loves Beaumaris. Down each street, there's a tiny gallery, quirky independent shops, a delicious restaurant or an old pub to try the local ales in. And with history enveloping you everywhere you walk, you cannot help but fall in love with this wonderful Georgian seaside town. Stroll along the seashore first thing in the morning and you will have only the sound of the sea for company. With views across the Straits to the mountains of Snowdonia, then along to Puffin Island, your head will clear immediately. They say the sea has restorative powers – we have to agree! Whether you choose to walk beside it, swim in it or perch on a bench just watching it you will come away from this break knowing you are rested.

Penmon is a hop away to the North East and Menai Bridge, with more great eating places and walks, to the North West. All can be reached within minutes by car or at a more leisurely pace along the Anglesey Coastal Path. Boat rides, castle tours, walking, cycling, swimming, sailing, paddle boarding the list just goes on. The only decision is deciding what to do that day!

Or simply stay put and hunker down if you prefer peace and quiet. With views aplenty and a comfy sofa to relax into why not just grab some much-needed solitude, safe in the knowledge that the beauty of Anglesey will be there waiting for you in an hour or two.

What people say about this cottage

We had a wonderful week in Anglesey and absolutely loved Castle View! We’ve had lots of holidays in the UK and even more over the past two years and we both rate our stay at Castle View as one of our best holidays! The property had everything we could have wanted and was such a warm and cosy place to spend time in the ‘interesting’ weather we had last week. The flat is really spacious – we loved having a large separate kitchen and lounge – and with two windows in each, it really felt light and airy. Also, the lounge was the perfect place to watch the world go by! The sofa was so comfortable and in many ways, we really didn’t want to venture outside! The bedroom was perfect – the bed really comfortable and the view towards the castle couldn’t be beaten! We’ve already looked at availability for August and are seriously contemplating booking to return in the summer.

We had a fantastic holiday in Castle View..the apartment was well equipped and the view of the castle and moat from the sitting room was amazing! We hope to make a return visit at a future date.
