Blackthorn Farmhouse B&B

A family-run farm B&B with sea and mountain views on Holy Island

Blackthorn Farm is a welcoming, family-run bed and breakfast set in 18 acres of its own grounds on Holy Island, near Trearddur Bay and Holyhead. With wonderful views over the Irish Sea on one side and across to the mountains of Snowdonia (Eryri) on the other, it is a peaceful, spacious base for exploring Anglesey’s dramatic western coast — and, being so close to the port, a genuinely handy and relaxing stopover for anyone travelling to or from the Holyhead ferry. Rated 4 AA Stars for guest accommodation, it offers a warm Welsh welcome and plenty of room to breathe.

The rooms

There are eight en-suite bed-and-breakfast rooms, each individually themed and with either sea or countryside views. The choice suits everyone, from singles and doubles to twins and family rooms, plus a ground-floor room with improved accessibility for guests who need step-free facilities. Rooms come well equipped with a Smart TV, WiFi and a beverage tray for tea and coffee. Blackthorn Farm is also pet-friendly, so the family dog is welcome to come along and enjoy the open space and the coast path. Beyond the B&B, the farm also has a self-catering cottage and a camping and touring site, so there is flexibility depending on how you like to holiday.

Breakfast and the setting

Mornings start with a full Welsh breakfast, the perfect fuel before a day on the cliffs or the beach. The real luxury here, though, is the space and the views — 18 acres of grounds in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with the sea and the mountains as your backdrop. It is calm, friendly and unhurried, the sort of place that makes a holiday feel restful from the moment you arrive.

Trearddur Bay and Holy Island

Holy Island is one of the most scenic corners of the Welsh coast. The lovely sandy beach and sheltered coves of Trearddur Bay are close by, and the farm sits within easy reach of the spectacular South Stack lighthouse and its RSPB seabird reserve, the heather-covered slopes of Holyhead Mountain, and the Anglesey Coastal Path that threads along this stretch of shore. The port town of Holyhead, with its ferries to Ireland, is just a short drive away. For beach days you are also within reach of the surf at Rhosneigr and the vast dune-backed sands of Newborough and Llanddwyn island, while the market town of Llangefni and historic Beaumaris with its castle lie a little further inland.
