As a potential visitor to this beautiful island off North Wales you have before you an excellent choice of holiday cottages in Anglesey, an important factor in making this your vacation destination. The island is well connected by road, rail and air, and combines these advantages with the secluded and quiet coastal locations of many of the available island cottages. These properties are perfect either for small groups of friends, for families or for a couple looking to get away for some quality time. Being on the edge of the Gulf Stream, Anglesey is an island with a mild, temperate climate and is lucky with long stretches of sunny days.

Whether you decide to come to Anglesey in the summer or winter there is a wide selection of self-catering cottages for you to choose from, with some located inland near interesting historic attractions, like the last remaining working windmill in Wales at Llynnon. The country lanes are great if you like cycling and there are some designated routes passing cultural sites of interest. Many of the holiday cottages in Anglesey will still retain the traditional features, such as farmhouse cottages next to a working farm, where visitors can get a first hand view of life on a Welsh farm today.

Alternatively, you may prefer to stay in a coastal cottage right next to Anglesey Coastal Path which covers 125 miles of coastline within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here you can take in the truly magnificent mountain and seascapes are absolutely breathtaking and just think you could leave your cottage garden before breakfast and walk along the coast near Benllech, watching the sun rising on the horizon. You will find there is a wide choice of coastal cottages around Benllech which has some fine beaches nearby, suitable for families who enjoy water sports and for those keen walkers.

It is quite possible for a holiday cottage in Anglesey to be a modern, four bedroom house sleeping up to 9 or 10 people or equally a warm, traditional farm cottage set in a restful copse, full of bucolic charm with game, sheep and cattle nearby, with sleeping accommodation for only 2 or 3 guest, and a small private garden with a fine apple orchard. These cottages will usually provide an access statement for guests with a disability, and TV facilities and hairdryers are also offered. Your average cottage will include central heating as standard along with a shower and bath and facilities for families with young children such as extra beds and cots.

Imagine your island cottage near to the sea and you can strole along a wide sandy beach, the sea glistening and sun setting ahead of you. You could achieve this by getting a cottage on the south west strech of Anglesey coast. Running from the magical Llanddwyn beach near Newborough in the south to Aberffraw and its quiet sand dunes and marram grass stretching for miles to the sea and on to the “mecca” for surfers at Rhosneigr in the south west, there is an excellent range of coastal cottages to pick from.

Should you venture further west on Anglesey you will find secluded coastal properties on Holy Island near Porth Dafarch, Rhoscolyn and Trearddur Bay, and there are some award winning sandy beaches nearby, just look for the Blue Flag. Here also visitors can reach the coastal path and walk to the enigmatic South Stack lighthouse and see the seabirds and marine life off the cliffs. While on the eastern coast you can pick up some coastal cottages in very sheltered ltered locations such as near Penmon and Llangoed, and close by are the historic Penmon Priory, Dovecote and Seiriol’s Well. South of here you can visit Beaumaris Castle, the famous UN World Heritage site on the Menai Strait and this character seaside town offers some great views of the mainland mountains.

Whatever your plans for staying on this pleasant island, possibly a whole week or a short weekend break, you will find an excellent choice of island holiday cottages to meet the needs and tastes of even the most discerning visitor. While some may look to an active holiday with sailing , kayaking and surfing on their list, others may prefer to relax and take a slower pace with coastal path walks and visits to local attractions such as art galleries and industrial archaeology. Either way, the best way to get your island vacation plans underway is to secure one of the many quality holiday cottages in Anglesey.
