The Beach Motel by the Sea

Stylish rooms a stone’s throw from the beach at Trearddur Bay

The Beach Motel sits on Lôn St Ffraid in Trearddur Bay, one of Anglesey’s loveliest seaside spots, with the sandy beach just 350 feet from the door. It pairs a relaxed, contemporary style with its own bar and restaurant, making it an easy and sociable base for a holiday on Holy Island. Guests rate it 8.7 out of 10 from well over a thousand reviews on Booking.com, often singling out the comfortable, characterful rooms and the unbeatable position by the sea. Dogs are welcome on request, so the whole family can enjoy the beach and the coast path.

The rooms

Rooms here have a smart, individual feel, many furnished with locally made oak pieces, and the private bathrooms come with a real treat — spa baths with jacuzzi-style jets, ideal for soothing tired legs after a day on the cliffs. There is a choice of Double and Twin rooms, plus a Double room with disability access for step-free, accessible facilities, and family rooms are available too. Each comes with tea- and coffee-making facilities, and the whole place is non-smoking. Check-in is flexible, from 3pm to 10pm, with check-out by 11am.

Food, drink and the practical bits

One of the joys of staying here is having somewhere to eat and drink right on site: The Driftwood Bar & Grill serves up food and drink without you needing to head out. Breakfast offers a continental spread alongside a full English or Irish, with vegetarian and gluten-free choices. There is free private parking and free WiFi (rated 8.9 by guests) throughout, and the bay’s beach, watersports and the Anglesey Coastal Path are all right on the doorstep.

Trearddur Bay and Holy Island

Trearddur Bay is a gorgeous sweep of sand and sheltered coves on Holy Island, a magnet for swimmers, kayakers and walkers alike. From The Beach Motel you are perfectly placed to explore: the dramatic South Stack lighthouse and its RSPB seabird cliffs are about ten minutes away by car, the port town of Holyhead is roughly five minutes, and the Anglesey Coastal Path runs right along this stretch of shore. Trearddur Bay is a popular spot for swimming, kayaking and coasteering, with its own RNLI lifeboat station and a scattering of smaller rocky coves that are well worth exploring at low tide. Holyhead Mountain, with its Iron Age hut circles and far-reaching views, and the wider beaches of Anglesey are all within easy reach.
