About this property
Set in the heart of Amlwch Port, a fishing village in Anglesey, is this traditional detached 18th-century dwelling, Royal Oak Cottage. Well-positioned near the harbour and an array of local amenities, whilst featuring a well-equipped kitchen, an inviting sitting room, and flexible sleeping arrangements, this dog-friendly cottage makes a great base for both families and friends alike. Prepare your meals with all expected appliances in the kitchen, before gathering as a group, ready to plan your Anglesey staycation. Retreat to the country-style sitting room, light the electric woodburner, and relax into the evening, before retiring to bed, with the selection of a double and a triple room.
Awaken in the morning with a refreshing shower, before travelling towards the harbour, ready to watch the fishing boats land their catch, try a spot of fishing, a round of golf, a meal at Adelphi Vaults or Y Llofft Porth overlooking the sea above the harbour. Enveloping Royal Oak Cottage, you'll also arrive at Copper Kingdom Centre, an interactive copper museum, Goleudy Pothladd Amlwch, overlooking the coastline, and Mynydd Parys, a recommended climb for avid hikers. Travelling into the county, enjoy a stroll across the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path, stop off at Holyhead Maritime Museum, or visit Holyhead Sailing Club, set upon Newry Beach.
Offering something for everyone, venture towards Llangefni to encircle Nant-y-Pandy Nature Reserve,which is well-known for its wild-life or perhaps tour Oriel Môn, an art gallery rich in history, before enjoying a leisurely walk and picnic upon the border of Llyn Cefni Dam. Explore the coast and country of Anglesey at Royal Oak Cottage.
On the north-eastern tip of Anglesey, in a gorgeous coastal setting, is the small seaside community of Amlwch Port. The community, which formerly hosted prosperous mining operations, today hosts a variety of events and attractions, making it the perfect destination for a family vacation. Visit the Old Mine Works at Mynydd Parys to see the red, yellow, and purple rocks, which some people claim resemble the Moon's surface, or learn about the history of Amlwch and its copper mining tradition on the Heritage Copper Trail, a section of the lovely 125-mile coastal path that winds its way along the coast of Anglesey. Golf enthusiasts can play at the Bull Bay Golf Club nearby, and sea fishing is a particularly well-liked past time in Amlwch. Take a ferry to Dublin and spend the day experiencing Irish culture or stay on Anglesey and take advantage of one of the island's stunning beaches. Whatever your inclination, you will undoubtedly enjoy yourself in this magnificent beach setting.

Friendly people in pubs. Plus, you can take your fish and chips into the Liverpool Arms. Two pubs and chippy within a decent stone's throw. Have been recommended to do an online shop rather than going to the co-op which is about fifteen minutes walk away. A kind welcome gift and card on arrival. I travelled with a friend and my two children who had a wonderful time. My only criticisms would be somewhat petty: no coat-hooks and it was a rainy week in February

Cottage was perfect with all the facilities and equipment needed for a relaxing break and lots of coastal walks with our 4 legged friend.

It was perfect for me as it has a good internet connection and a great environment to work remotely. It was very quite, cosy and comfortable and close to a coffee shop and a chip shop. Plus there's the co-op up further up the road in Amlwch itself. There was everything I needed in the kitchen for cooking. It's also on the port itself which is great for walks if the weather is fine. The hosts were very prompt in getting back to me if I had any queries. I look forward to staying there again soon!
