Cwt Y Coed

A single-level retreat on the Tros-yr-Afon estate at Penmon

Cwt Y Coed is a single-level holiday cottage tucked into the wooded grounds of the Tros-yr-Afon estate at Penmon, on the quiet eastern tip of Anglesey near Beaumaris. Sleeping four across two bedrooms, all on one level, it makes a relaxed and accessible base for couples, families or two friends travelling together who want the run of an island coastline without stairs to negotiate. The cottage looks out over woodland and shares the estate’s six acres of gardens and grounds, so there is plenty of room to spread out, and a genuine sense of being away from it all.

The cottage

Inside, the layout is straightforward and welcoming: two bedrooms sleeping up to four, a bathroom, and an open living and dining space with a kitchen for self-catering. Everything sits on a single floor, which makes Cwt Y Coed an easy choice for anyone who would rather avoid stairs. The woodland outlook gives the cottage a calm, restful feel, and the shared grounds mean children have space to play safely while the adults unwind.

The estate and its grounds

Cwt Y Coed is one of several self-catering properties on the Tros-yr-Afon estate, so guests enjoy the shared facilities of a much larger setting. The grounds run to roughly six acres of garden and woodland, and there is a tennis court for guests to use, barbecue facilities for warm evenings outdoors, and free on-site parking. Free WiFi keeps you connected when you need it. Dogs are welcome on request, so the family pet can come along for the holiday — it is worth confirming at the time of booking as charges may apply.

Penmon, Beaumaris and the east of Anglesey

Penmon sits at the south-eastern corner of Anglesey, a short drive from the handsome castle town of Beaumaris, whose UNESCO World Heritage castle, Victorian gaol and pier look across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia). Penmon itself is known for its ancient priory, the holy well and the black-and-white Trwyn Du lighthouse gazing out at Puffin Island. From here the whole island opens up — the Anglesey Coastal Path, the sweeping sands at Benllech and Lligwy, and the boat trips and birdlife of the east coast are all within easy reach. For more ideas on staying in this part of the island, see our guide to accommodation in Beaumaris.

Getting there and around

Anglesey is reached across the Menai Strait by Telford’s elegant suspension bridge or Stephenson’s Britannia Bridge, and Penmon lies a short drive beyond Beaumaris at the island’s south-eastern corner. A car is the easiest way to make the most of a stay here, as it opens up the whole island and the mainland mountains of Eryri within around half an hour. Bangor, with its mainline railway station and university city amenities, is roughly ten miles away, making this an easy spot to reach from further afield while still feeling tucked away.
