Birch

Couples and small families will find Birch a comfortable base for a coastal escape on Anglesey. This single-storey converted wing occupies part of an early 20th-century country house, retaining period character while offering modern essentials. Two bedrooms—one with a double bed, one single—and a bathroom with bath and shower serve three guests. One well-behaved pet stays free.

The open-plan living space combines lounge, dining and kitchen areas, with a conservatory extending the accommodation. A smart TV and DVD player are there if you want them, and the kitchen is equipped to cook proper meals rather than just heat ready-mades. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included. You have private parking for two cars and a garden with furniture; a shared barbecue is available if you're staying with other guests from the converted house.

Red Wharf Bay, with its mile of golden sand and shallow waters, lies half a mile away—ideal for beachcombing or paddling on calmer days. Beaumaris, about ten miles south, holds a 13th-century castle, old courthouse and jail, museums, and restaurants serving local seafood and Welsh cooking. The surrounding countryside and forests offer walking routes. The property is non-smoking throughout.
