Tros Yr Afon
Description
Ideally placed in a prime position for unbeatable views in Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey is this Grade II-listed Georgian cottage, Tros Yr Afon.
With period features, a choice of two gardens, and thoughtfully designed with families in mind, this cottage makes a fantastic base from which to explore this scenic region of North Wales.
Arriving at the cottage, you are greeted with off-road parking and exceptional views of both sea and mountains.
Drop off your bags and make a cup of tea before taking a moment to admire the landscape; the front garden is manicured and ideal for alfresco meals with an unrivalled backdrop.
Heading to the rear of the property, a wilder garden with apple trees to pick apples from provides a charming place for the children to play while you get some shade on sunnier days.
Inside, a charming playroom continues the fun indoors, with a range of age-appropriate toys, which are kindly swapped out by the owners between guests, and a Smart TV to keep the little ones entertained.
From here, the character continues through to the kitchen/diner where the chef of the group may rustle up a home-cooked meal for the family to enjoy at the dining table for six.
Climb the traditional wooden staircase next and settle down in front of the coal fire; the sitting room is ideally placed on the first floor to make the most of the far-reaching mountain and sea views, the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon after returning from a leisurely stroll.
As your eyes grow tired, head to the bedrooms for some well-earned rest; a twin for the children of your group lies on the first floor, along with a bright and airy king-size which again takes advantage of its position, allowing you to enjoy waking up to seascape and rugged mountaintops.
Back on the ground floor, the last bedroom, a super-king-size, lets in plenty of light through the French doors, another idyllic awakening to the Menai Strait for the lucky guests in this room!
Explore the local area and stock up on the essentials at the local shops, boutiques and bakeries.
Set off on foot to find the delights of Beaumaris such as the iconic Beaumaris Castle and historic pier.
Penmon Point offers the ultimate view of Penmon Lighthouse and the adorable Puffin Island, passing through the ruins of a priory and fuel up at The Pilot House Cafe.
Further afield, the coastline of Anglesey stretches for miles and offers a selection of watersports, with beaches and outcrops dotted along; why not explore by bike or car and branch a little further afield?
A bike tour by Green Lane Bike Tours is the most perfect day out.
Heading back over to the mainland, an abundance of outdoor activities can be found in the Snowdonia National Park, a picture-perfect setting for your adventures.
Whether you want to stay in and enjoy family time or head out and explore the stunning Isle of Anglesey, Tros Yr Afon is the ideal base.

What guests are saying
Great position with views of the Menai Straits.
Comfortable and spacious house with well equipped kitchen. Helpful and responsive hosts.
Tros yr Afon was a first class property.
Comfortable, clean and extremely well equipped. The location was ideal and the owners were most helpful when contacted. We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to return or recommend Tros yr Afon.
Our stay in Beaumaris was genuinely out of this world, and this beautiful house made it a holiday that our girls will remember for the rest of their lives.
From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found somewhere very special. The house was simply wonderful, incredibly comfortable and had absolutely everything you could possibly wish for and more. The views were breathtaking, and every part of the house felt like it had been thoughtfully designed to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. The games room was a huge hit with the girls and provided endless fun. It was so lovely to see them making memories and having such an amazing time. In fact, I think they would happily have stayed in the house forever! The location is just perfect. You're a short stroll away from the quaint little gift shops, restaurants, pier, castle and playground of Beaumaris, and the views of Snowdonia are breathtaking. We would also highly recommend taking a trip to Newborough beach, Llanddwyn Island, Trearddur Bay, South Stack and Greenwood Family park (if you have little ones.) We had access to two private parking spaces close to the accommodation, but also found it easy to park right outside the house for most of the week. Jacqueline made us feel so welcome from the very beginning, and could not have done more for us. Her warmth, kindness and hospitality really added something special to our stay. She genuinely went above and beyond, especially when interacting with our girls, and we felt incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful host. We have stayed in many holiday homes over the years, but this was the best we have ever experienced. Leaving was genuinely difficult because the house had become such a special part of our holiday. The girls will never forget this place, and neither will we. If you are considering staying here, do not hesitate. Book it. You will not regret it. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Jacqueline and Richard, for giving us such an unforgettable holiday.
