Cae Derwydd

A Spacious Family Cottage in Cemaes Bay

5 Cae Derwydd is a spacious, modern holiday cottage in the seaside village of Cemaes Bay, on the tranquil north coast of Anglesey. Sleeping up to eight and welcoming a dog, with a useful downstairs bedroom and a lovely beach within easy reach, it makes a comfortable and practical base for a family holiday on the island’s quieter, sunnier shore.

The cottage

The cottage has three bedrooms and sleeps up to eight guests, with a flexible bed layout that includes a downstairs bedroom — handy for anyone who would rather avoid stairs. There are two bathrooms, and the fully equipped kitchen comes with a fridge, dishwasher and a dining area for relaxed family meals. Modern and comfortable throughout, with around 1,399 square feet of space and some sea views, it has plenty of room for a larger family or two families sharing. Free WiFi is included.

Garden, parking and dogs

Outside there is an enclosed rear garden with a seating area — a safe, private spot for al fresco dining or for children to play — and free private parking on site. One well-behaved dog is welcome (charges may apply), so the family pet can come along too. Set in a residential part of the village, it is a peaceful, easy base from which to enjoy the beach and the coast.

Cemaes and the north coast

Cemaes is Anglesey’s most northerly village, a pretty place built around a sheltered harbour with sandy beaches close by — Traeth Mawr is under two-thirds of a mile away — and the Anglesey Coastal Path passing right through. The ancient cliff-top church of Llanbadrig stands nearby in a spectacular setting, and the whole coast is wonderfully unspoilt.

Exploring Anglesey

From Cae Derwydd the rest of the island is easily explored. The port town of Amlwch lies just along the coast, the nature reserve and shingle beach at Cemlyn Bay, with its tern colony, is a short drive away, and the Anglesey Coastal Path offers superb walking in both directions. Further afield, the east-coast beaches at Benllech and Lligwy, the historic town of Beaumaris and the bridges over the Menai Strait are all within reach for a varied family holiday.

Good to know

A spacious cottage with a downstairs bedroom and two bathrooms is a practical choice for a multi-generational family — there is room for everyone, and the ground-floor bedroom helps anyone who would rather avoid stairs. The enclosed garden is a genuine bonus for families with young children or a dog, giving a safe, private space to play and relax. Cemaes is a gentle, traditional seaside village rather than a busy resort, which makes it a relaxed base for a family holiday, and Anglesey’s famously sunny, dry weather adds to the appeal. With the beach under two-thirds of a mile away and the coast path on the doorstep, it is easy to fill the days, while the quieter north coast keeps the crowds at bay even in high summer.
