West Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage is a charming bungalow located in Llaneilian near Amlwch on the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, Wales. This delightful accommodation, which sleeps six guests, boasts stunning views of the Irish Sea and is situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cottage has been sympathetically restored, preserving its original furnishings while providing modern comforts. Guests can expect to see a variety of wildlife, including dolphins, porpoises, seals, and numerous sea birds, enhancing the serene coastal experience.
The interior of the cottage features a well-equipped kitchen/diner, perfect for self-catering, where families can prepare and enjoy meals together. For outdoor dining, a patio area is available for barbecues, allowing guests to savor their meals in the fresh air. The cozy sitting room, complete with plush seating and a woodburning stove, provides a relaxing space for entertainment, while three well-appointed bedrooms—two doubles (one with an en-suite) and a twin—ensure comfortable sleeping arrangements. A stylish bathroom, featuring a roll-top bath and walk-in shower, caters to the needs of all guests.
Guests can explore the nearby town of Amlwch for essential amenities and dining options, or venture to the stunning Llaneilian bay for a refreshing swim or a leisurely day by the sea. The region is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, and exploration, particularly at Mynydd Parys, where various bird species can be observed. The hidden gem of Traeth Eilan, a rocky beach just a short walk from the property, offers a secluded spot for swimming, paddleboarding, or sea kayaking, all framed by rugged cliffs that create a tranquil environment.
In addition to the local attractions, families can create lasting memories by visiting nearby towns such as Beaumaris, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, and Bangor, which are all within easy reach. West Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage not only serves as a comfortable retreat but also as a gateway to the beautiful coast and countryside of Anglesey, making it an ideal destination for those seeking relaxation and adventure. For larger groups, the property can be booked alongside another cottage, accommodating up to 12 guests for a memorable holiday experience.
