17th Century Grade II listed house on the seafront in Beaumaris
Description
Coast along to Beaumaris and immerse yourselves in the past at an enchanting seaside haven…
Porth Hir has been here for over 400 years and has seen many boats sail past! This historic space for six sits right by the beach at Beaumaris. Careful restoration work has carried Porth Hir gracefully into the 21st century and now with lamps and pieces of furniture that have been picked up on travels or come from the family – it feels homely but nicer than being at home.
On a cold wet day, you have two sitting rooms with fires and plenty of books, or guides to plan your next adventure. The veranda cries out for company for sunnier times and the views across the Menai Strait to Eryri make long summer evenings very special.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped and great for a feast. A large range cooker can cope with anything, and the fridge can be pre-stocked with fish or home-cooked suppers. Or Deli Jones the Greedy Gardener can cook up a storm for you. The dining room is a splendid venue for culinary delights with plenty of seating for the clan and dreamy views.
Upstairs are swish bedrooms, all very traditional, comfortable and with pretty gorgeous views through sash windows. The curved bedroom door is a joy! There are no shortage of bathrooms either – three in fact – each decked out in neutral tones for a calming start to the day.
If cooking is not your thing, head into Beaumaris for oodles of choice – The Old Bulls Head or The Midland are a good start. Or try good old fish and chips and crabbing on the Pier can help you lose a day. The ice creams at the Redboat ice cream parlour are to die for.
Down the coast from Porth Hir is Penmon for more historic jaunts – visit Penmon Priory. Or head in the other direction and find Plas Newydd, a National Trust gem or Cadnant gardens – an amazing space for plant fans.
For those after a less sedate day, Rib Ride is an adrenaline adventure down the Menai Strait or Stan offers colourful boating tours on his Starida Puffin Island Cruises and sea fishing.
It’s a magical holiday cottage.
