Seashells Lligwy Beach

A stylish upside-down cottage with sea views near Lligwy Beach

Seashells is a contemporary, stylish holiday home on the popular Dafarn Rhos site near Lligwy Beach, on the lovely east coast of Anglesey. One of a small group of self-catering cottages there, it has an upside-down layout that puts the living space upstairs to make the most of the sea views, and sleeps up to six — a superb base for a family seaside holiday.

The cottage

Seashells has two bedrooms sleeping up to six, with an upside-down design that lifts the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area to the top floor so you can enjoy the outlook over the coast. It is modern and well presented throughout, the kind of relaxed, light-filled holiday home that makes a beach break feel like a proper getaway. The setting on the Dafarn Rhos site, a short stroll from the sand, is quiet and family-friendly.

Lligwy and the east coast

Lligwy is one of Anglesey’s loveliest sandy beaches, a wide, gently shelving bay that is popular with families and well placed on the Anglesey Coastal Path. Nearby you’ll find the atmospheric ancient remains of Din Lligwy, an enclosed hut group, and a Neolithic burial chamber, while the path leads on around dramatic little coves. For more places to stay in this part of the island, see our guide to accommodation around Moelfre and the east coast.

Days out from the cottage

The east coast of Anglesey is full of easy days out. The fishing village of Moelfre, with its lifeboat heritage and Seawatch Centre, is just along the coast, and the family beaches and shops of Benllech are close by. A little further afield, the historic castle town of Beaumaris looks across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Eryri, and the whole island opens up for touring — from the surf and dunes of the west coast around Rhosneigr to the cliffs and lighthouse at South Stack near Holyhead. The Anglesey Coastal Path offers a different stretch of shoreline to walk every day of your stay.

Who it suits

Seashells works beautifully for a family seaside holiday or a get-together of friends who want a comfortable, modern base by the coast. The upside-down layout means the main living space enjoys the views and the light, while the location on a quiet site near the sand keeps the beach within an easy stroll — handy for buckets-and-spades days, coastal walks and lazy afternoons. With Moelfre, Benllech and Beaumaris all close, there is plenty to fill a week, yet it is just as easy to do very little but enjoy the outlook over Anglesey’s east coast. It is the kind of relaxed, stylish bolthole that guests come back to year after year.
