As a visitor to the island you can be confident of a good choice of Anglesey hotels to make your stay a memorable one. Equally, you can expect a high standard of accommodation if you are staying overnight before catching the Dublin ferry from Holyhead. Your holiday activity and its location may influence where you may want to be based during your stay. Some people like the restfulness of the countryside while others prefer to be close to the coast and beaches for watersports.

A fine 19th century country house with a very good reputation across Wales is Tre-Ysgawen Hall Hotel and Spa at Capel Coch, near Llangefni. Situated in the centre of Anglesey, this impressive property has 27 en-suite bedrooms, a fine restaurant and clock Tower Cafe Wine Bar, set within 11 acres of secluded grounds. Other facilities available include a new $7 m Health Spa which contains a Sauna, 16 m swimming pool, whirlpool and gym, offering a range of beauty and holistic therapies to leave guests feeling both energised and refreshed.

If your Anglesey hotels check list says “close to the sea” then Trearddur Bay hotel on Holy Island must be a strong possibility. It is well positioned along the 125-mile long coastal path, offering panoramic views of the coastline, sea and mountains from its upper gardens. Guests at this hotel can enjoy the fine restaurant and two wine bars as well as the indoor heated swimming pool, and 18-hole golf course nearby. Just a few minutes walk across the road from the hotel is Trearddur Bay beach, winner of an European Blue Flag award. New conference suite offers weddings and business packages.

The Bishopsgate Hotel in Beaumaris offers you the chance to experience your island stay in a Georgian style house. This hotel offers nine specially designed en-suite bedrooms with 4 poster bed and sea view choices. Your hotel restaurant has won accreditation in the AA Restaurant Guide and a licensed bar is also available. Bishopsgate Hotel is open all year round and special seasonal offers are available. There is an access statement for disabled guests and you are within 3-4 minutes walk of Beaumaris Castle, a World Heritage Site.

Are there Anglesey hotels which have the character of a traditional farmhouse? Yes, the centrally located Nant-yr-Odyn hotel was converted from 18th century farm outbuildings in 1980 and is within half a kilometre of the A55 dual carriageway from Chester to Holyhead. Nant-yr-Odyn has 14 en-suite bedrooms in a country style and an a la carte restaurant open to non-residents, with additional rooms for weddings and business meetings. The hotel is well placed for those wanting to visit the Oriel Art Gallery in Llangefni or the south Anglesey beaches at Llanddwyn and Aberffraw.

Built in 1832 the Georgian-style Bulkeley Hotel in the Royal town of Beaumaris has 43 en-suite bedrooms, a coffee shop, fine restaurant with the Taste of Wales reputation, and a Real Ale bar with an open coal gas fire.
