The Bulkeley Hotel

A grand seafront hotel in the heart of Beaumaris

The Bulkeley Hotel stands proudly on Castle Street in the heart of historic Beaumaris, a handsome listed building right on the Anglesey seafront looking out across the Menai Strait. With a wide choice of rooms — including sea-view and four-poster options — two restaurants, a bar and a beachfront position, it is a characterful and welcoming base for exploring the island, and one that has built up well over a thousand positive guest reviews.

Rooms and dining

The hotel offers a good range of en-suite rooms to suit different budgets and occasions, from a compact POD single and comfortable doubles to Sea View rooms and a special Sea View Four Poster. Many enjoy views across the Strait to the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia). Downstairs there are two restaurants — Hansom’s and the Bulkeley Bistro — and a bar, with a good breakfast offering continental and buffet choices. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are available, with raised toilets and grab rails.

A welcoming, central base

Position is everything here: the hotel is right on Beaumaris’s seafront and main street, so the castle, the pier and the town’s shops, galleries and eateries are all on the doorstep. There is free private parking and free WiFi, and dogs are welcome on request in many rooms (they cannot stay in the Luxury or Four Poster rooms, and a charge may apply). Guests rate the hotel 8.4 out of 10, with the location scoring an outstanding 9.7.

Historic Beaumaris

Beaumaris is one of Anglesey’s most historic and attractive towns, built around Edward I’s UNESCO World Heritage castle and strung along a waterfront that gazes across the Menai Strait to Snowdonia. The Victorian gaol and courthouse make atmospheric visits, and the pier is the place to catch a sea-fishing or wildlife boat trip. For more places to stay in the town, see our guide to accommodation in Beaumaris.

Days out from the hotel

With the Bulkeley as your base, the whole island is within reach. Drive out to Penmon Point to look across to Puffin Island and the Trwyn Du lighthouse, walk a stretch of the Anglesey Coastal Path, or relax on the sands at Red Wharf Bay and Benllech. The National Trust’s Plas Newydd, the surf beaches of the west coast and the cliffs and lighthouse at South Stack near Holyhead all make rewarding day trips, while the mountains, lakes and steam railways of Eryri are just across the Strait.
