Coed Y Berclas Cottage

A Luxury 18th-Century Cottage Overlooking the Menai Strait

Coed-y-Berclas is a stunning 18th-century holiday cottage set on a hillside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between Beaumaris and Menai Bridge, on Anglesey. Part of a multi-award-winning coastal retreat — including a recent “best luxury coastal accommodation in Wales” accolade — the self-catering cottage sleeps four and enjoys glorious south-east-facing views across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Snowdonia. It is a tranquil, characterful base for exploring this beautiful corner of the island.

The cottage and grounds

The cottage combines period character with a luxurious finish, with three bedrooms sleeping up to four guests. Its real magic, though, is the setting: it sits within a four-acre site of huge terraced lawns, a spring-fed wildlife pond and bluebell woodland, all facing south-east to make the most of the light and the views over the water and the hills. It is the sort of place where you can sit out with a coffee and watch the boats on the strait with Snowdonia as a backdrop.

Thoughtful modern touches sit alongside the history, including a 7kW electric-vehicle fast charger for guests with electric cars. The cottage is consistently highly rated by guests, with top scores on the major review sites — a reflection of the care that has gone into both the accommodation and its grounds.

It is the combination of history, comfort and setting that makes Coed-y-Berclas so special. You have the character of an 18th-century building and the quality of a thoughtfully restored luxury cottage, wrapped in acres of private grounds with one of the finest coastal-and-mountain views on Anglesey. For a couple or a small family wanting somewhere genuinely peaceful and a little bit special — to walk, to watch the wildlife on the pond, or simply to sit and take in the strait — it is an idyllic choice.

Beaumaris and the Menai Strait

The cottage sits in one of Anglesey’s most scenic spots, looking out over the Menai Strait — the narrow channel of water that separates the island from the mainland and Snowdonia beyond. A waterside pub is around 300 metres away, and both the elegant town of Beaumaris, with its UNESCO World Heritage castle and Georgian seafront, and the bridge town of Menai Bridge are about two miles away. Days out take in Penmon Point and its lighthouse, the National Trust’s Plas Newydd house and gardens on the strait, and the quiet beaches of the east coast.
