Pentraeth is a small attractive village on the banks of the River Nodwydd on the north-east coast of Anglesey. It has a village church that dates back to the 12th century and is located between Llanddona beach and Red Wharf Bay, which has over 4.5 miles of sandy beach. Red Wharf Bay’s Welsh name is Traeth Coch (Red Beach) and the area is renowned for its glorious sunsets. The bay is very shallow and provides safe bathing, perfect for wonderful family fun, fishing and miles of stunning scenic walks. The large bay attracts a huge number of waterfowl and wading birds, including shell duck, grey plover, purple sandpipers, curlew, oystercatchers and dunlin. Only 6 miles away is the delightful medieval town of Beaumaris which boasts a 13th century moated castle, excellent shops, pubs, restaurants, bistros and museums, as well as a golf course and exciting pleasure boat and sea fishing trips. This is a great location on the east coast of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, yet only six minutes from the Britannia Bridge to access the mainland.

The cottage had everything we needed for our stay and was always lovely and warm. Great base for exploring both Anglesey and Snowdonia

It was clean, well maintained and lovely and warm, ideal for a winter break. We spent the days exploring north Wales and came back to relax in the cottage of an evening. Thank you.

It was perfectly sized for three OAPs, en-suite bathrooms, easy access (four steps with handrails to door) close parking and easy access to patio at the rear. The location of the property allows you easy drives to all corners of Anglesey but we used the beach at Benllech most of the time. The village there has 3 small supermarkets, fuel station and eateries and is only 10 minutes away. All in all Black Horse Cottages is superb value for money and would return in a heartbeat.
