Bangor, Gwynedd

Located in Bangor, Gwynedd, this luxurious waterside retreat offers an exquisite escape with the breathtaking backdrop of the Menai Strait and the iconic Menai Suspension Bridge. Accommodating up to 16 guests, the period manor house boasts stylish interiors and ample indoor space, including three reception rooms and two separate seating areas. Guests can unwind with a book by the sash windows overlooking the waterfront or engage in lively activities in the music room, which features a piano, or the gaming snug, perfect for family bonding. The great hall leads to a spacious sitting room ideal for evening conversations, while the conservatory provides a sunlit space to enjoy serene views of boats on the water.

The dining area, with its large table, is perfect for enjoying meals together while taking in panoramic views across the water. The fitted kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher and washing machine, complemented by smooth granite worktops and a breakfast bar for casual morning gatherings. The sleeping quarters, accessed via a grand staircase, include a master king-size bedroom with stunning views, walk-in wardrobes, and an en-suite featuring a roll-top bath. Additionally, there are two more king-size rooms, a double, and a twin, with a sleek shower room on the ground floor, along with a family room that connects to a second-floor double room with an en-suite bathroom.

Outside, the landscaped garden extends to the water's edge, providing an ideal setting for evening strolls or barbecues on the large patio area. Guests can enjoy the tranquil ambiance of the water lapping nearby while dining under the stars. Sunrush House is perfectly situated for exploring the natural beauty of Wales, with a range of activities available, from indulging in Michelin Star dining to visiting historic sites. Just across the water lies Menai Bridge, offering a variety of shops and restaurants, including the Freckled Angel for tapas and Dylan’s for a seaside meal. For food enthusiasts, the Menai Food Festival in August is a highlight, and reservations at Sosban and the Old Butcher’s are highly recommended for a Michelin Star experience.

For those interested in local heritage, a visit to Llynon Mill, the only working windmill in Wales, is a must. Built in 1775, it still produces wholemeal flour and features nearby roundhouses that provide insight into Iron Age farming practices. The on-site café is perfect for a lunch break or a sweet treat. Adventure seekers can explore the waters from Beaumaris Pier, where boat trips to Puffin Island offer views of a seal colony and diverse birdlife. The area is also home to Snowdonia National Park, where visitors can partake in hiking or simply enjoy the stunning landscapes. The Llyn Cwellyn Boardwalk trail offers an accessible lakeside walk, while the seasonal Snowdon Railway provides a picturesque train ride to the summit, making it a perfect outing for all types of adventurers.
