Places to stay in Anglesey
Anglesey is easier to enjoy when you choose a corner of the island rather than a supposedly central hotel for everything. Beaumaris gives a historic town and Menai Strait setting; Menai Bridge suits a south-eastern gateway stay; Trearddur Bay puts the western coast at the heart of the holiday. Choose one for a short break, then plan a specific outward day. The three accommodation choices here represent those distinct bases, giving you a practical starting point for comparing the island’s different settings.
The Bulkeley is the hotel example for a Beaumaris stay, with separate sea-view and inland room categories. Choose the town when a local evening and time around its streets matter alongside island outings. The official circular walk provides one way to plan a shorter day close to base.
Good for: A historic-town stay with a specifically chosen outlook.
Before you choose: Guest parking is limited and first come. Decide where you can park and how far you wish to walk before treating a central hotel as an effortless arrival.
Menai Bridge: begin in the south-east
The Anglesey Arms supplies the Menai Bridge comparison. It is useful when you want a pub base around the gateway end of the island rather than a western beach holiday. Make the next day’s route specific, and leave an evening to enjoy the place where you are actually sleeping.
Good for: Visitors who want a south-eastern base and a pub evening.
Before you choose: A bridge-side town is not central to every island attraction. Ask about the actual room, parking and return route rather than measuring convenience from the island crossing alone.
Trearddur Bay: make the west coast the holiday
Trearddur Bay Hotel is the third base, suited to visitors who want this bay and nearby coastal time to dominate the stay. A selected sea-view or balcony room can make time at the accommodation worthwhile. It is a different choice from the Strait towns, not an interchangeable island address.
Good for: A beach-led break and time on the western side.
Before you choose: Only some rooms have views or balconies. Confirm the exact category and assess coastal routes and weather before planning a longer walk.
Compare Menai Bridge inn rooms with a Strait-side hotel, lodge or cottage, including building and meal planning.
Make it your kind of break
ROMANTIC BREAKS
Choose the view and the evening together
A Beaumaris sea-view room and a Trearddur Bay coastal room offer different settings. Compare the confirmed outlook, meal arrangements and return route, then leave a half-day without a driving target. Menai Bridge can suit a town-and-pub evening instead.
FAMILY BREAKS
Start with the beds, then the coast
The Anglesey Arms publishes family layouts, while the other hotels need room-specific discussion. Establish capacity and bathroom access before deciding where to spend the day. A short local beach or town outing is a more forgiving arrival plan than crossing the island again.
A LITTLE ROOM TO EXPLORE
Two nights in Anglesey
A suggested short break with room to enjoy your chosen base.
Arrival: enjoy the chosen corner
Settle into Beaumaris, Menai Bridge or Trearddur Bay and keep the first evening there. Resolve parking and any next-day transport while reception is available, then make a small local outing.
Full day: explore one area properly
From Beaumaris, select town time and a suitable section of the official local walk. From Menai Bridge, choose one planned island outing. From Trearddur, focus on the bay or an appropriate coastal route rather than returning east for every sight.
Departure: protect the onward journey
Leave time for breakfast, packing and travel from your particular corner of the island. Add a final stop only if it fits that route and does not turn a comfortable departure into a rushed cross-island drive.
Less time? For one or two nights, choose a single base and its surrounding area. Split a longer holiday only when you genuinely want both the Strait towns and western coast.

Stays in Anglesey
Researched accommodation shortlist
Three hotel examples in different bases: Beaumaris for a Strait-side town, Menai Bridge for the south-east and Trearddur Bay for the western coast.
Hotel · Trearddur Bay
Trearddur Bay Hotel
Trearddur Bay, Holyhead, LL65 2UN
A west-island coast option for making Trearddur Bay the holiday focus. Compare it with the south-eastern Strait towns before choosing an island base.
Why compare it: Compare for Trearddur Bay and a west-coast stay.
Forty-seven bedrooms are advertised.
Some rooms have sea views or balconies.
The Bay Restaurant and Inn at the Bay are on site.
Before you book: Confirm the precise view category, balcony, beds, complete access route and parking. A general room reservation does not guarantee a sea view.
A Beaumaris hotel for visitors comparing a sea-facing room with an inland category. Choose the outlook explicitly if time looking across the Strait is part of the holiday.
Why compare it: Compare for a Beaumaris town and Menai Strait stay rather than the west-coast beach base.
Sea View and Inland room categories are separate.
A lift serves all floors.
Guest parking is limited and first come.
Before you book: Confirm the exact room outlook, family beds and full access route. A reservation does not guarantee a parking space; check the public alternative.
The Mona Road inn is a Menai Bridge base for a pub evening and exploring this corner of Anglesey. It is a different property from the similarly named inn in Caernarfon.
Why compare it: Compare for Menai Bridge and the south-eastern gateway, with island outings planned separately.
Single and twin categories are listed.
Family rooms combine a double with single beds.
Dogs are accepted in selected rooms.
Before you book: Confirm the family capacity, allocated beds, stairs and parking. Arrange a designated dog room rather than assuming every category accepts pets.
No. The three choices solve different trips: Beaumaris for a town on the Strait, Menai Bridge for the south-east, and Trearddur Bay for a western coastal stay.
Should I choose the Strait or western coast?
Choose Beaumaris or Menai Bridge if you want the south-eastern towns to be part of most days. Choose Trearddur Bay if you would rather spend more time beside the western coast and make fewer cross-island journeys.
Does a sea-view hotel guarantee a sea-view room?
No. The Bulkeley separates inland and sea-view categories; Trearddur Bay Hotel says only some bedrooms have views or balconies. Confirm the specific reservation.
Can I do the coastal path from any hotel?
Choose the actual section first and read the official route description. Check terrain, weather and the return journey; a coastal address does not establish a level or circular walk.
What should I resolve before arriving by public transport?
Check the full journey to your chosen town or bay, including the final transfer and the return from any outing. The island crossing is only one part of reaching the bedroom.
