Crib Goch Cottage

A Cottage with Snowdonia Views at Brynsiencyn

Crib Goch is a comfortable holiday cottage at Brynsiencyn, on the south coast of Anglesey, with breathtaking views across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia). Sleeping four and just 300 metres from the Strait, it makes a peaceful and well-placed base for exploring both the island and the nearby mountains — a lovely spot to watch the light change over the water and the peaks beyond.

The cottage

Crib Goch has two bedrooms and sleeps up to four guests, in a comfortable, well-finished cottage that makes the most of its outlook. The standout feature is the view — that sweep across the Menai Strait to the Snowdonia mountains is genuinely special, and rare to find from a holiday cottage. Free broadband is provided, and there is adjacent parking right by the cottage. Please note the cottage does not accept pets.

What makes it special

It is the combination of a peaceful south-Anglesey setting and those breathtaking mountain views that sets Crib Goch apart. Being only 300 metres from the Menai Strait, you are right on the water’s edge of the island, with the mainland mountains rising across the way — the best of both worlds for a North Wales holiday. It suits couples and small families looking for somewhere calm, comfortable and beautifully positioned.

Brynsiencyn and the south coast

Brynsiencyn sits on Anglesey’s south coast, looking across the Menai Strait to Snowdonia, with plenty to enjoy close by. Within easy reach are the Halen Môn (Anglesey Sea Salt) saltcote, the Anglesey Sea Zoo and Foel Farm Park, all popular family outings, while the glorious Newborough beach and the magical tidal island of Llanddwyn are about ten minutes away. For more on the area and other places to stay, see our guide to Anglesey accommodation.

Exploring Anglesey

From Crib Goch the rest of the island and the mainland are easily explored. The National Trust’s grand mansion and gardens at Plas Newydd are nearby, the historic castle town of Beaumaris is a short drive along the coast, and the elegant bridges over the Menai Strait link you quickly to Bangor and the mountains. With Newborough Forest, the south-coast beaches and the whole Anglesey Coastal Path within reach, there is plenty to fill a relaxed week.

Good to know

Anglesey’s south coast is a quieter, less-visited side of the island, and a cottage right on the edge of the Menai Strait gives you front-row seats to one of the most beautiful views in North Wales — the mountains of Snowdonia rising straight across the water. That makes Crib Goch especially appealing for couples and small families who want peace and scenery rather than a busy resort. The position is wonderfully convenient too: you can be on the vast sands at Newborough or in the mountains across the bridge within about half an hour, then back to the calm of the cottage by evening. Anglesey enjoys some of the sunniest, driest weather in Wales, and this stretch of coast is glorious for sunsets over the Strait.
