Menai Gardens

With access to mature gardens and a path to the beach at the bottom of the garden, you know you are going to relax at Menai Gardens. Stop awhile and take in the spectacular views of the Menai Strait and Snowdonia beyond. Breathe.

Menai Gardens wishes you to relax and an annex it may be but in name only. A private drive and entrance ensures your privacy but it is lovely to know the owners are nearby for the local knowledge you may wish to hear. You can relax here as there is nothing small about Menai Gardens. A large main bedroom with a bed of kingsized proportions grabs the views for you. Open the doors to the terrace and sit out as the sun rises or the moon takes over. Peace abounds.

Choose to cook in the fully equipped kitchen or light the bbq to cook locally caught fish. Or skip this part and head into Beaumaris to be thoroughly spoilt - cooking is not for everyone.

Before you go out, take your time and draw a deep bath - lie back and forget the troubles of every day living.

A large sitting room with views to write home about allows you a sofa each. Or should you wish for friends to join you, a sofa bed becomes a bed for sleepy heads. The dining table takes pride of place and makes the most of those amazing views. Try and concentrate on your morning paper by all means - we challenge you!

Penmon and beyond

Dogs will be in heaven at Menai Gardens as there is no delay to walks. The car is not needed should you wish to truly relax. Heavenly Penmon is on your doorstep with the Anglesey Coastal Path leading you to pebbled beaches and views of Puffin Island. Stop awhile on the shores as you stroll to Penmon Priory, drop a coin in the wishing well and search for doves from years gone by. The Pilot House Cafe is a dog-friendly treasure of delight with home baked cakes, lunches and a log burning stove to warm you should the dogs allow. How easy can life be?

Nearby is White Beach, part of a nature reserve with nesting birds and perfect for wild swimming. Join the Anglesey Coastal Path to Red Wharf Bay from here - a day trip worth packing a picnic lunch for.

Walk up to Aberlleiniog Castle and onto Llangoed, enjoying this nature reserve as well. Home to the Massey sisters, you can see why these artists loved living here.

Once relaxed, and ready to face the car again, it's an easy drive to the Georgian coastal town of Beaumaris with shops and restaurants aplenty. A castle to explore and a gaol to ensure you feel grateful that you have been good! History enthusiasts will be enthralled by all they see. Shopaholics and searchers of keepsakes will be smiling happily all day. Feast on Redboat icecream, locally made and coveted by all.

We had a really peaceful week at Menai Gardens, it was spacious and warm and very quiet. We loved the views of Menai Straits and the beautiful lighthouse a short distance away. It was very clean and comfortable. We’ll be back.

We had a lovely stay in Menai Gardens. The views over the Menai Straights were beautiful and created a very relaxing setting. We couldn't have wished for more!

We have just spent a week at Menai Gardens, it was absolutely beautiful. The accommodation is very clean, comfortable and spacious, and has everything that you could need. We visited Penmon Point, and Newborough Beach whilst we were there, both are gorgeous areas, but mostly we just enjoyed looking at the gardens, and across the Strait to the mountains, it’s stunning. The photos of the gardens really don’t do it justice, but you can’t capture all the different times of day, and how the view changes throughout the day, or the wildlife in the garden, little rabbits running around, birds and butterflies around the garden. Sitting of an evening winding down with a glass or 2 of wine on the patio was our favourite time of day. You definitely don’t need to switch the tv on when you have those views from the garden. We enjoyed little walks with our dog along the beach. It’s very quiet and peaceful, being just outside the main tourist areas, but also not too far to visit other places. We really didn’t want to leave. Definitely, the most relaxing holiday that we have had. Steve and Sian have the perfect little hideaway on the Menai Strait and have thought of everything to make sure that you enjoy your stay. Thank you Steve, Sian and your lovely dog Amber, we loved our holiday.
