Happy as a seagull with a Redboat ice cream cone you will be from the moment you open the front door at Seagull Cottage and begin to explore. Each room becomes a treasure trove of detail, from the original artwork to the beautifully crafted ceramics. Colours blend seamlessly thanks to the owners having poured every ounce of love into this cottage.

Enter a gorgeous sitting room, soft sofas to invite you to sit quietly with a longed for book. Through to the kitchen, glimpses of colour and creativity draw you further in. This restoration project has taken two years and you can see why. The handcrafted units and reclaimed shelving, even the kitchen sink is a style icon in its own right. China to make your cooking sing and all the mod cons you will ever desire are within easy reach. Carefully concealed appliances nestle quietly in cupboards awaiting their time. A careful use of space keeps the kitchen fresh and open.

Step outside to the enclosed courtyard where sunlight abounds and alfresco dining is a must. Careful thought has gone into the detail to ensure your stay is a happy one. A sail can go up to shade you should you wish. Even the utility room makes you smile – not a phrase we thought we would ever use – a beautifully designed outdoor room, much more than a shed more an installation. Washer, dryer and the ice cream store tuck themselves away in the most beautiful of rooms.

Up a stunning Georgian staircase, fresh with colour you are met with a celebration of wild birds – a beautiful wall covering that makes a landing chirp with style. The master bedroom grants a four-post frame indulgence, enhanced all the more by the handmade panelling. A wardrobe worthy of your carefully chosen clothes sits proudly in this enchanting room.

The warmth of much treasured curtains and a colour pallet chosen to calm can be found in the twin room next door. A pairing of beds can be arranged if two couples wish to stay.

The softest of greens creates a sanctuary of peace in the bathroom – a chance to relax in bubbles galore or a quick refresh as there is so much to explore.

Nod your head to the fun seagull as you leave to Beaumaris –  a day on foot to explore the joy of coastal walking is a must. Restaurants and pubs within easy reach allow all to enjoy an evening out, no bargaining as a driver is not needed.

History meets you at every corner, only the finest example of a concentric castle will do. Climb the ramparts and gaze across miles of stunning scenery, walk to the end of the pier and marvel as the sails are hoisted and races start. Say hello to our RNLI crew who keep our waters all the safer, selflessly supporting our coastal life. Browse in a multitude of shops ready to choose a memory or two to take home. Pop into Central Bakery and create a picnic worthy of kings – walk to Penmon Lighthouse and back, changing your route to take in the coast and inland walks.

Fresh air abounds and energy returns, sleep deep and carry on exploring as centrally located you are – whether you are discovering Anglesey or Snowdonia your base couldn’t be more perfect.
