“Very comfy cottage.”

Fantastic location, just a few minutes walk from the beach.

Fantastic location, just a few minutes walk from the beach.

“One of the reasons we picked the Ark was that it had an outside terraced area, however there was no key in the property to access the area.”

There was no contact details, phone or local contact in the property. We phoned Sykes/Menai holiday cottages and related the problem re key /access to terrace. The Sykes contact stated that they would contact the local agent and we would be contacted by them shortly to solve the problem. No one contacted us and we had no access to the terrace for the whole holiday. The accommodation itself was fine but the lack of contact details at the cottage and the inaction of Sykes/Menai Cottages was disappointing.

- Mr Frowe, September 2020

I am sorry that the system which has worked well in the past, with us acting as a go-between for the guests and owners, did not work well in this instance. Hopefully this kind of thing won't happen during your future bookings but if it does I am confident we will do better next time. Owner relations

“NO PARKING!”

! Apart from the parking and a few little issues The Ark is fab for location and size.

- Ms Oconnell, August 2020

No, I am afraid The Ark is not advertised with parking, but we are so pleased you had a great stay! Owner relations
Mrs Cross July 2020

“We had a fantastic time at The Ark in Beaumaris.”

Great location only a couple of minutes walk from the main high street and pier. Property was clean with good amenities. Nicely decorated and lots of books and games for children. Great to have the terrace for additional outside space. Would love to come back and stay here again.

“The cottage was well appointed but lacked attention to detail on cleaning and decorating.”

No storage for clothes in the bunk room was not ideal either.

“The cottage was excellent, but could be improved in two respects first the floor in the kitchen area does need a small repair to the floor covering in two areas and secondly the cottage would benefit enormously if parking were provided.”

“Used, wet towels left in en suite, no toilet rolls in either bathroom, no bin liner in kitchen bin, no new dish scrubber old one left, used tea towel left out, dishwasher full of pots not put away.”

On the whole the cottage could do with a freshen up and a lick of paint plus the en suite is so small I burnt my arm on the towel rail.

Very disappointed to hear that the house was not perfect for your arrival. We will make the owner aware of your feedback so that they can raise this with their housekeeper. Owner relations

“I thought it was a good price for the cottage because it was spacious and well maintained.”

Arthur Baldwin Oct 2017

“Not a patch on Treadeaur bay.”

No parking that could be reached within a short time or walk. Poor on the contents of utensils, television not of a standard size. Could go on best left at poor and would not go again.

- Arthur Baldwin, Oct 2017

I am so sorry that the television was smaller than you are used to. We will pass on to the owner that the utensils may need checking if some have gone missing. Thank you for taking the time to review and we hope that we will be able to help you find a cottage in your preferred area in the future. Owner relations

The Demmys Jul 2016

“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.

- The Demmys, Jul 2016

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.
