Location: Menai Straits, Anglesey

Beaumaris 6 miles; Bangor 4 miles.

The Menai Strait is the stretch of water separating the Isle of Anglesey from the Welsh mainland. Often a brilliant blue, these shallow tidal waters are crossed by two bridges, allowing easy access to the attractions of Anglesey and the mainland. The castle and pier at Beaumaris make a lovely day out, or you can catch a boat to enjoy a trip out to Puffin Island. The Anglesey Coastal Path takes in beautiful scenery, and the island is home to many fine beaches including Rhosneigr, Trearddur Bay and Red Wharf Bay. The NT mansion Plas Newydd is on the island, while on the mainland further NT properties can be found including Penrhyn Castle and Bodnant Gardens. The spectacular mountains and lakes of Snowdonia are just a short drive way, with plenty of castles, beaches and other attractions on offer in this wonderful region. The Menai Straits really does offer the best of both worlds!

The Property

Who hasn't fantasized about getting away from it all on their own private island? Ynys Gorad Goch will allow you to do just that! Accessed by private launch and set in the middle of the Menai Straits between Anglesey and the mainland, your holiday starts as soon as you reach the jetty, accessed through a private electronic gated driveway. A ferry master will be waiting to transport you and your party to this exclusive island where you can enjoy sole use of two delightful fisherman’s cottages, completely surrounded by the tidal waters of the Menai Straits. The Smoke House, which is suitable for one family, provides a double bedroom with superb views along the Strait leading off a large lounge with a further double sofabed and a double cabin bed in an alcove off the lounge. The main house on the island is known as Fisherman's Cottage and can sleep a further 10 people, provides all the living accommodation you will need, with a cosy kitchen, an intimate sitting room with a woodburner and a superb dining room seating up to 12 guests. This Menai cottage also has a large awning, creating a covered and heated outdoor seating and dining area big enough for everyone. This leads to a snug room large enough for your party to retire to and while away the evening talking and laughing with friends and family. This Menai cottage offers a large fish trap where, on lucky days, you can capture your evening meal, and rock pools allow you to scoop white bait out by hand for the BBQ! The fish trap also encourages numerous species of wildlife, making this Menai cottage an ideal birdwatchers’ sanctuary. For the water sports enthusiast the island is a paradise, allowing for doorstep kayaking, sailing and powerboats, with a main jetty and a slipway with launching trolley, as well as numerous other access points into the water for fishing, or swimming and snorkeling at slack tide. Numerous companies will also provide all these water sport activities and many more directly from the island, which guests can book themselves. A local restaurant can ferry you ashore during daylight hours for a meal if required, or a chef can be hired to visit the island to cook for you, or just deliver a prepared meal if you would rather. Just you, the island, the sea, the beauty and the tranquility, make these Menai cottages a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience, an ideal holiday or short break any time of the year. If this is your idea of a dream getaway, you can make it a reality by renting this fantastic, exclusive private island in the Menai Straits.
