“We loved the blue cottage!”

Beautifully refurbished and maintained, inside and out, well equipped and comfortable. Perfect for our mother and daughter weekend as we both got double beds! Great spot in Beaumaris just outside the centre, so quiet but within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Parking on street just around the corner.

“What a gem of a cottage.”

An Absolutely beautifully presented cosy cottage. We stayed in Beaumaris recently to visit family in the area. We booked Blue Cottage as it was perfectly located. It had everything we needed for our 3 night stay and would highly recommend. They kindly provided a cot and high chair at no extra cost. I would suggest maybe considering the option of a removable stair gate for families with smaller children as the stairs are quite steep, however this did not affect our stay in any way. Thank you for the lovely welcome gift- an extra added nice touch. We will hopefully be back soon. Thank you.

“Has been perfect staying here for our first visit to Beaumaris, great location for Anglesey and North Wales.”

“We were lucky enough to stay here for 5 days and we can honestly say that we immediately felt at home.”

The cottage is so cosy and cleverly thought out, we found everything we needed - from a clothes maiden to towels. We loved using the fire and we found Tesco in Bangor was great for suppliers. We also loved pottering around the local shops - Neptune's Fish and Chips, Sarisa kitchen and the Tapas restaurant were all fantastic. I'm sure we'll be back again! Thank you for a lovely stay.

“Cosy, comfortable and clean cottage in a fantastic location.”

Having read some of the more recent negative comments I was a little apprehensive about our holiday but the criticisms are unfounded. The cottage does not smell of damp, yes it is small but it is also very old and who cares about unmatched wine glasses? The beds are super comfy, everything works and the garden is a great sun trap. Phone reception is patchy (and best at the top of the garden) but personally that was a bonus........

“Thank you so much for another wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage.”

We love the new additions such as the mirror, the Beaumaris painting, and the new sofa and chairs, which are extra comfy. It's so warm and comfortable, a cosy place to come back to at any time of year. Our umpteenth stay here, and it's always a joy to return

“This cottage is in a good location on a quiet side street in the centre of Beaumaris.”

The bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good. However we did not find the rest of the cottage very comfy. The sofa was very hard and uncomfortable as were the 2 bucket chairs… the scatter cushions were old dirty and flat. It just wasn’t the place we wanted to come back to after a day out. The cottage is also very dark even on the sunniest of days and had a very bad smell of damp / fustiness. The cottage needs painting and updating. The kitchen is very tight with the table up.. and the kitchen didn’t have a salad bowl or Pizza cutter and mismatched wine glasses. We did expect so much more for the very high price we paid. People have commented almost a year ago about the sofa etc but still nothing seems to have been replaced. We would not stay here again.

- Margaret, August 2022

Many thanks for your feedback and I am sorry that you were disappointed with your stay. We have been doing a refurbishment on the windows earlier in the year and hoping to complete the works and an internal upgrade at the end of the busy season. The soft furnishing were to be the last things to be changed so they didn't get damaged but acknowledging the sofa has become harder due to it being a sofa bed, a new sofa and chairs were ordered two months ago and we have been waiting for them to be delivered which will be this week. We have had the cottage for 15 years and as you can see we have always had good reviews, and due to a bereavement earlier in the year the refurbishment hasn't gone as quickly as we had wished. We take all the feedback very seriously and take on board the comments made Property Owner

“This cottage is in a great location but is in need of some attention.”

The beds were comfortable but the bedding and towels were cheap and poor quality. The furniture is basic IKEA and much of it needs replacing. We understand that a new sofa is on order, the cushions on the current one are so compacted that it was hard to sit on and the tub chairs were uncomfortable. Unfortunately there’s no dishwasher and we found dirty pans and dirty lumpy sugar. The cottage smelled damp and we spent as much time out of it as possible. It is clear that the cottage is undergoing some renovation but this should be reflected in the price. If you pay over £800, you expect better quality furnishings and comfort for that price. This cottage has so much going for it but it should be listed as basic accommodation with a lower rating and a price to match.

He house was smelly, bathroom seat was extra tight, very low celling on stairs area hit my head more than once, we had an over weight old women who couldn't use the bathroom nor the stairs and the sofa could not convert to sofa bed, w receive no assistance from the office in charge

It is a shame you didn't contact us while you were in the property when we could have assisted with some of the issues you experienced. Please do contact us before booking again to make sure the property is suitable for your needs. Property Owner

“Great location and very well equipped cosy cottage.”

Everything looked new and the firewood, matches kitchen towel and welcome bottle of wine all appreciated. Even better than the photos showed. Very impressed and would come again. We put the rubbish out on Thursday night as requested but not sure it was collected.

Keith September 2021

“For the 2 of us the cottage was fine.”

it was clean with plenty of towels plus a bottle of wine which went down well. The only negative was that the bathroom is downstairs but other than that everything was as expected and we had a really enjoyable week.

- Keith, September 2021
Christian July 2021

“A very cosy, comfortable, clean stay, with everything you’d need for a week’s holiday.”

Excellent location within short walking distance to Beaumaris centre and the sea front. No parking but managed to get a space on the road around the corner. Only complaint was that it was a little small for a family of four, and no bath, but for just a week we could overlook those things seeing as the cottage was so nice.

- Christian, July 2021
Jean May 2021

“Lovely little cottage, beware if you are tall very low ceilings in parts, luckily we are short.”

Cottage is very close to town centre and sea front. Very comfortable beds and plenty of fluffy towels. Take a hairdryer if needed. Menai holidays kept us informed with regular emails and clear support during this COVID period.

- Jean, May 2021
Helen August 2020

“Beautiful cottage and comfortable stay.”

It’s evident from the new kitchen and bathroom that refurbishment has started. The windows not opening in the lounge did impact a touch on ventilation and upstairs window a bit noisey but owner is getting the windows done true to style so I’m sure that will make a great change. Due to the location of the cottage the constant beeping of cars round the corner was a bit annoying especially of an evening.

- Helen, August 2020
Gwen August 2020

“We had the best few days away in this wonderful little cottage.”

Very well located to explore Beaumaris and beyond. Just around the corner from a lovely bakery full of freshly baked goods. Everything was ready for us when we arrived in the well equipped kitchen. Highly highly recommend!

“The only negative.”

unlike some of the taller hoilday makers who found the doors a little low, being a short A... I could not reach the the the top shelf of the cupboard for a bowl.other wise it was lovely cottage

Wendy October 2019

“We were able to park in the very nearby lay-by for the whole of our 3 night stay.”

Opened the door and immediately felt welcome. Lovely clean and cosy cottage throughout. Had no need for the basic cleaning stuffs , tissues and salt and pepper which we had taken with us as recommended by the booking agent as all were supplied along with a bottle of wine and a fabric shopping bag. Their were two of us , women friends, so had a bedroom each. The small double not really suitable for 2 adults but fine for children sharing. Would definitely return.

- Wendy, October 2019
Priscilla July 2019

“We were disappointed with The Blue Cottage, the photos are misleading, there is no room to have the table open and chairs around in the kitchen, and the second bedroom really would only be suitable for 1 person.”

The whole cottage was grubby and needs a really good clean, paintwork especially. Stains on the living room carpet and settee, and a constant smell of damp. On the plus side it is well situated in Beaumaris, easy to walk into the town and waterfront. We would not stay in The Blue Cottage again.

- Priscilla, July 2019

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry you were disappointed with your choice. Blue Cottage has been on our portfolio for many years with many happy guests. The Owner has taken your feedback seriously and will check the cottage and remedy any issues. Property Owner

“Cottage is well equipped and in perfect location for Beaumaris and other Anglesey attractions.”

2 min walk to boats (Puffin island trip) and the Pierre. Big Wheel being there was a bonus when we stayed offering views over castle walls. Perfect tranquillity but also things to do. Recommend Pier Cafe (views) and the George & Dragon pub (Robinsons ale) in Beaumaris. Recommend cycle trail by Maltreith (looks like a French vineyard by the sea) starting at the delightful family run Riverside cafe. Newborough woods and beach great too.

“The cottage has a very homely feel about it,clean tidy and very warm.”

Not sure if plus or minus but mobile/WiFi reception was hit or miss. Suspect parking could be an issue at busy times in Beaumaris but we had no problem some limited parking around the corner ( also free parking on the Green over the Christmas/New Year period ).

The property

This delightful bijou holiday cottage has been recently updated and is nestled on a quiet street, within a historic conservation area just a few minutes' stroll from the centre of Beaumaris.

Blue Cottage is the perfect place to recharge your batteries; relax and unwind next to the woodburner in the evenings and sun yourself in the garden during the day.

Cosy is the best way to describe this sweet - and dare we say, romantic - holiday cottage!

A home from home with so much to see and do nearby. Beaumaris has everything you need, so you could park your car and forget about driving for a week!

There's so much to explore in this pretty town: a moated castle, the Gaol, the Janet Bell Gallery, wonderful individual shops and fabulous restaurants.

You'll love the breathtaking scenery of the Menai Strait, with the backdrop of the glorious mountains of Snowdonia.

If you can't wait to visit local attractions however, close by is the beautiful 200 acre Plas Cadnant Estate where you will find spectacular historic gardens, or the lighthouse and Priory at Penmon point.

About the location

BEAUMARIS

Menai Bridge 4 miles.

Beaumaris is a well known historic town on the Isle of Anglesey situated on the Menai Strait and overlooking the Snowdonia mountain range, making for the most stunning of sunrises. With its medieval castle (now a World Heritage site) dating back to the reign of Edward I and its Victorian pier, gaol and courthouse, it is also known as a major centre for yachting. Beaumaris is rich in history and retains much of its medieval street pattern. It’s setting, diversity of architectural styles and periods, differing scale, open spaces, varying roofs and overall quality contribute greatly to the town’s character. There is a good selection of shops, restaurants and public houses, as well as fishing opportunities and boat trips in the town, plus a golf course nearby. Along the coast is a large bay called Red Wharf Bay; its Welsh name is Traeth Coch (Red Beach) and the area is renowned for its glorious sunsets. The bay is very shallow and at low tide, almost 25 square kilometres (10 sq. mi.) of sand is uncovered providing safe bathing, perfect for wonderful family fun, fishing and miles of stunning scenic walks. Further afield is the port of Holyhead, which has regular ferry links to Dublin. Beaumaris is a good central base for touring Wales, in a beautiful location on the south coast of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, within easy reach of the spectacular mountains of Snowdonia.

Note: There is no allocated parking at the cottage. There is nearby parking available at the Green - and weekly passes may be bought (for a cost) or at the leisure centre. Please note that when booking this property for 4 adults that it is a small cottage.
