The Liverpool Arms Historic Inn

The Liverpool Arms is a historic, Grade II listed inn in the heart of Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey, rich in seafaring character and full of charm. With a traditional bar, an open-plan restaurant warmed by an open fire, and comfortable rooms above, it offers an atmospheric place to stay in one of Anglesey’s most historic towns — with stunning views across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia).

A characterful listed inn in historic Beaumaris

Standing on Castle Street, the Liverpool Arms wears its history well. A Grade II listed building steeped in the maritime heritage of this old port town, it combines the sociable warmth of a proper Welsh inn with a genuine sense of place. Oak beams, an open fire and a traditional bar set the tone downstairs, while upstairs the inn offers comfortable bedrooms for those wanting to stay over and soak up the town at a leisurely pace.

Bar, restaurant and real ales

The heart of the inn is its bar and open-plan restaurant, where an open fire and exposed beams create an inviting setting for a meal or a quiet drink. Real ales are on offer, and the restaurant is dog-friendly — a welcome touch for walkers exploring the Anglesey coast with a four-legged companion (please note dogs are welcome in the restaurant but not in the bedrooms, with the exception of assistance dogs). Few things beat a good meal by the fire after a bracing day by the Strait.

Rooms with a sense of history

The inn offers comfortable accommodation in keeping with the character of the building, making it an ideal base for couples and visitors who want to stay right in the centre of Beaumaris. With the castle, the seafront and the town’s shops and eateries all on the doorstep, it is a place where you can leave the car behind and explore on foot.

Beaumaris and Anglesey

Beaumaris is one of Anglesey’s most historic and handsome towns, set on the Menai Strait with a waterfront that looks straight across to the peaks of Eryri. Its crowning glory is Beaumaris Castle, the last and largest of Edward I’s Welsh fortresses and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while the elegant streets, the pier and the old gaol and courthouse all add to its appeal. Nearby you can explore Penmon Point and its lighthouse, the sands of Red Wharf Bay and the National Trust’s grand mansion at Plas Newydd. For more places to stay in the town, see our guide to Beaumaris accommodation.

Staying at an inn like this puts you right at the centre of town life, with the bar and restaurant downstairs and everything Beaumaris has to offer just outside the door. It is a sociable, characterful way to stay — somewhere to enjoy a good meal and a pint of real ale by the fire, then wander out to the castle or along the Strait the next morning. For visitors who would rather soak up the history and atmosphere of an old port town than stay in a modern hotel, it is a genuinely memorable choice.
