This exquisite retreat on the Isle of Anglesey is a beautiful choice for groups of 11 wanting to unwind beside the Welsh coast. Panoramic views stretch across the Menai Strait towards Eryri, while a private hot tub waits back at the house after days spent on island beaches or walking along the coast path.
Step inside and the interiors feel beautifully considered, with delicate floral fabrics and vintage accents adding softness to the elegant rooms. Two super-king-size bedrooms on the ground floor look across the water, before the house opens up upstairs into a spectacular lounge/kitchen/diner where the vista takes centre stage. Cook up a family feast, pull back the doors to the balcony and let the sea air drift in while everyone gathers around the table. A snug gives younger guests somewhere to disappear with games and books, while the second floor holds another super-king-size room with far-reaching views and a bunk room for three. Across in the annexe, a private super-king-size bedroom and en-suite give one couple a retreat of their own. On balmy evenings, settle on the patio, sink into the hot tub or cross the bridge over the stream to explore the gardens.
When you can tear yourself away from the view, wander into Beaumaris to explore its castle, Victorian gaol and waterfront, or pick up the Puffin Circular or Beaumaris Loop for a stroll straight from the town. Pack your buckets and spades and head to Llanddona Beach (4 miles) for a swim or water sports, while Traeth Lleiniog (3 miles) pairs woodland paths with a peaceful stretch of shoreline overlooking the Strait.
