“Great location in a quiet part of Beaumaris.”
No private parking but we never had a problem finding somewhere nearby to park during our stay in June. We liked having the living area on the first floor, it was bright and had a feeling of space. The little terrace off the upstairs bedroom was a great sun trap. Kitchen was full of useful bits and pieces, the games and books went down well with our 9 year old son. It would have been nice to have black out blinds in the bunk room, we were lucky enough to have the sun pouring through all week!! We would definitely go back.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are really happy that you enjoyed your stay at The Ark, we hope to see you back in North Wales soon!

The property
The Ark holiday cottage is bright, warm and welcoming and a great place to stay at any time of the year.
Full of character and less than a five-minute flat walk to all that Beaumaris has to offer.
"Characterful, light and airy, The Ark nestles in a quiet lane just around the corner from the pretty seaside front of Beaumaris."
The Ark is located next to the Churchyard of St Mary and St Nicholas, a lovely 14th Century Church that is also well worth a visit.
There are numerous small, interesting shops and galleries, and a wide variety of pubs and restaurants.
An ice cream from Red Boat is a must on a sunny day!
Crabbing on the Pier is a very popular pastime with the children and you can hop on a boat to take a trip along the beautiful Menai Strait.

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.
