Dafarn Rhos Coastal Holiday Cottage

Coastal Holiday Cottages near Lligwy Beach, Anglesey

Dafarn Rhos offers a welcoming collection of self-catering coastal cottages and lodges in an unbeatable location near the beautiful sandy beach at Lligwy, on the east coast of Anglesey. Just two to three minutes’ walk from the sand and dog-friendly, the properties make a superb base for a family beach holiday on this lovely, quieter stretch of the island’s coast.

The cottages

There is a choice of properties at Dafarn Rhos — among them Bay View, Seashells, Lligwy View, The Cottage, Seaview Lodge and Beach Lodge — offering comfortable self-catering accommodation in a range of sizes to suit couples, families and groups. The featured coastal cottage sleeps up to five across three bedrooms and is dog-friendly, so the whole family can come along. One of the properties, Lligwy View, is noted as being suitable for wheelchair users, making the site a good option where step-free access matters.

Facilities and setting

The real treat here is being so close to the beach — just a short, two-to-three-minute walk to Lligwy’s sweep of golden sand. The site is well set up for modern holidays, with two 22kW electric-vehicle charging points for those travelling by electric car. Set on the quiet east coast away from the busier resorts, it offers a genuinely relaxed, away-from-it-all feel while keeping the beach and the coast path right on the doorstep.

Lligwy and the east coast

Lligwy has a lovely sandy beach on Anglesey’s east coast, backed by dunes and rich in history — the ancient Din Lligwy hut group and a Neolithic burial chamber lie close by, and the Anglesey Coastal Path passes right through. It is a quieter, unspoilt stretch of coast, perfect for families wanting space, safe sands and easy access to the sea.

Exploring Anglesey

From Dafarn Rhos the rest of the island’s east coast is easily reached. The historic fishing village of Moelfre, with its lifeboat heritage and pretty cove, is just along the coast, the popular beach village of Benllech is a short drive away, and the handsome castle town of Beaumaris lies further south. With beaches, the coast path, ancient sites and watersports all close at hand, there is plenty to keep a family busy for a week — and Anglesey’s famously sunny, dry weather helps.

Good to know

Having a choice of properties on one site makes Dafarn Rhos unusually flexible — a couple can take a smaller cottage or lodge, while two families travelling together can book neighbouring units and still be side by side, just minutes from the beach. The dog-friendly welcome and the wheelchair-accessible option widen the appeal further, and the EV charging points are a genuine plus for anyone touring North Wales by electric car. Lligwy is one of the quieter, more unspoilt beaches on Anglesey, backed by dunes and history, which makes this a relaxed, family-friendly spot rather than a busy resort. With the island’s famously sunny, dry weather and the coast path right outside, it earns its keep across a full week, whatever the season.
