Beautiful castle in a lovely little village, parking is right next door and cheap. There's a great chippy right close by in the village and some nice shops close too. There's a small gift shop for the castle and they show an educational film about the castle inside the grounds. Plenty of great photo opportunities and a great visit if you have a couple hours to kill.

Visited on Saturday, 06th September 2025, Beaumaris on the island of Anglesey is famous as the greatest castle never built. It was small but had many interesting features. No parking on site, and the nearest parking is on the river/straight front and costs £7 whether you stay for 5 mins or all day. Reasonable entry charge and straight away you're presented with a stunning aspect on the outside of the moat. You then enter the castle through a beautiful drawbridge. Once inside, there are options to walk the ramparts or, in a unique aspect from my experience, an inner walkway. Both walks provide unique perspectives to view the inner and outer castle walls as well as the fighting points available when the castle was operational. No great guidance once inside, but a nice little shop on exit.

It was an interesting place to visit. The castle that was never finished. It should have been the most amazing construction for Edward I but the financial situation did not allow it. The only part of the castle that has windows is the chapel and they are pretty amazing. They are dog friendly but they are only allowed on the ground floor of the castle. The ticket price is acceptable.

I really enjoyed my visit to Beaumaris Castle. Even though it was never fully completed, it’s still an impressive and beautifully designed fortress. The symmetry and scale are striking, and learning about its history—from Edward I’s ambitions to the challenges that halted its construction—made the experience even more interesting. The peaceful surroundings and views added to the charm. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Anglesey!

Beaumaris Castle in North Wales is honestly like walking straight into a medieval movie set—beautiful, a little spooky, and totally magical all at once. You wander through these massive stone halls and can’t help but imagine all the wild (and probably horrifying!) things that went down here centuries ago. And after the storm? Even spookier. The towers were filled with water, and it felt like the castle was holding onto little pockets of the past. Very “Haunted Medieval Spa Day,” if you will. But truly, the place is a masterpiece in stone. Every arch, every corridor—just wow. And then you look up and the views of Wales hit you… absolutely breathtaking. Rolling green for days. Honestly, what an extraordinary place to live—though personally I could do without the dungeon situation. A must-see if you’re anywhere near North Wales. Go, wander, get lost, get spooked, and enjoy every minute!

A lovely castle ruins. There's a video on loop giving you the story of the castle that was never finished. A really interesting back story about the castle. You're able to explore the castle walls and lovely views of the town and sea. We took my parents and my dad has a mobility scooter and the grounds were really accessible. And a lovely shop on site to get gifts, memorabilia or Welsh themed items. Highly recommend 👌

4/9/25: The castle is of considerable size and with lots of areas and internal passages to explore and with good views to be had across Biwmares and Eryri on the upper levels. Dogs are allowed in on short leads and must stay on the lower levels which send to be standard practice. There are lots of smaller side rooms dotted about and inside the perimeter walls with numerous stair cases that you can amble along which will give a sense of the internal architecture and the accommodation that was available at that time. There is a fair bit of grassed areas between the outer and inner sections of the castle along with occasional seating here and there, so, on a warm sunny day a pleasant picnic could be had.

Seacoast Safaris - Puffin Island Boat Trips Review Had a fantastic trip with Seacoast Safaris! Although we didn’t spot any puffins this time (which is always a possibility with wildlife), the experience was still wonderful. The weather was great, and the boat was comfortable and well-kept. The staff were friendly, helpful, and even offered coats to anyone who needed them—a thoughtful touch that made the journey even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore the area by sea!

I’ve been on the Puffin Island boat tour a few times over the last few years and have enjoyed it every single time! It’s easy to book online, reasonably priced, and always a great experience. The crew are friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out wildlife along the way — from seabirds to seals. Make sure you bring your camera, as there are plenty of photo opportunities! Whatever time of year you go, wrap up warm — it can get chilly out on the water. It’s a fun and memorable activity for all ages, and dogs are welcome on board too, which is a big plus. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the area!

Coming to Beaumaris this has to be on your bucket list. What an amazing experience feel the wind through your hair with this adrenaline fueled adventure. £35 per Adult that is worth every penny. Ben our Top gun Pilot / Skipper was brilliant. Articulate, funny and extremely knowledgeable. Lewis and Aaron is at the top of the pier who arranged our trip so a massive thankyou to them for fitting us on at short notice. As Seacoast Safaris were that busy we couldn't do Puffin Island so we jumped on to the Menai straight tour. Booking on line would be advised to guarantee your tour and time slot as they are really busy. Upon being issued your life vest your guided down to the mooring at the top of the pier where you will meet your pilot / Skipper but before your off there's a indepth safety brief. Upon boarding there's a quick run through on points of contact and storage for belongings. Then your ready as they said on TOP GUN !! DO YOU FEEL NEED !! THE NEED FOR SPEED !! Well you've come to the right place. This tour was exhilarating we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. As you fly down the Menai at speed there's short stops to get your breath back and learn a little about the sights you are passing. From the Menai bridge, Britannia bridge, Bangor pier and the million pound mansions located along shore. One big thankyou to BEN, LEWI and AARON that made our visit so memorable we will definitely be coming back to Seacoast Safaris to do Puffin Island in the near future. This was and amazing experience that will last in your memories for a life time.

Great tour - we really enjoyed ourselves. Nice calm conditions and a very stable vessel meant no sea sickness despite a substantial breakfast! The modern vessel was very clean & tidy with no engine fumes plus strong eco-credentials using biofuels & carbon off-setting which is excellent. We saw lots of interesting wildlife around Puffin Island including seals and the guide was very knowledgeable and engaging, answering all our questions. Travelling under the bridges and along the Menai Straight we got a completely different perspective especially of the immense tidal energy, plus a good look at some interesting waterside properties - take your binoculars! We would highly recommend the Seacoast Safaris full 2hr tour if you’re visiting the Beaumaris area and this is certainly the only type of ‘cruise’ I’d consider going on! 🦭

Brilliant customer service and fantastic local knowledge. The first boat trip we were on didn’t get started due to an engine failure. Our young children were visibly disappointed and the lady running the trip held us aside and managed to find the last few spaces on the next boat, as there was very limited availability to rebook due to the popularity of the trips! (Everybody else, who weren’t quite so fortunate, were asked to return to the kiosk to receive refunds, so no messing around there.) Once on the next boat the trip out to Puffin Island was so much fun. We saw cormorants, shags, lots of different gulls, and the true highlight was a seal and the last puffins of the season. The ladies running the trip were knowledgeable about the island and the local area and shared the importance of the island being a protected location. Would definitely book on again. Thank you Seacoast Safaris!

Brilliant boat trip to Puffin Island - Highly recommended 👍 Booked this boat trip for my Dad's 70th birthday and we all really enjoyed it, unfortunately the Puffins had migrated but we were aware of this before we booked and there were plenty of other birds and a couple of seals. Eleanor curated the trip and her knowledge and experience was first class and she was very helpful and friendly which really added to our enjoyment of the boat trip, Thank you.

Our tour guide was cheery and informative. I definitely learned some new things. The seals were great. I know they can’t control the puffins but it was disappointing to only see one during peak season. Booking and check in friendly and straightforward. The tour was about the right length for me - I got off before the sea sickness set in. Be aware that you will most likely be outdoors so take sun hats or raincoats depending on the weather!

For the price, I would like to be asked how my eggs are cooked and the choice of toast! The quality of the ingredients was good although one hard bacon and one soft Hash brown was lush! But at the best part of 15£ for a breakfast I would expect quality sauce not cheap fruity ones!!

Fantastic sea front cafe in Beaumaris. Food was top notch. Great value and very tasty. Family tried lots of different dishes over few and enjoyed them all. The Fish Pie is highly recommended.

An exceptional cafe! We had a collection of wonderful dishes for breakfast that day. We started with a variety of fried, scrambled as well as pushed eggs, which were served with bunch of various delicious sides such as beans, baby tomato and Spinach, that all in all enriches the meal and valuable, no doubt. Enjoyed their coffee prepared with milk and special tea with a light dessert to conclude the narrative. Absolutely a wonderful atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the splendour of the distinguished and kind staff. Well done!

I had a toasted teacake, which cost £4.50!!, this arrived approx 10 mins before a cup of coffee and my wife had a cup of tea. Total cost £12.50!! During the 20 minutes we sat in the cafe, we witnessed over 10 people asking where their food / drinks were, requesting some level of basic service or complaining. This business is very poorly managed and offers extortionately expensive mediocre products combined with a very poor level of service. Avoid at all costs and maybe they will revisit their opportunistic profiteering practices and treat customers with less complacency and a little more respect.

Really nice place but let down by the food. It came out quickly, but too quickly - the chowder had obviously been sitting waiting under a hot lamp. There was a skin on it and when I opened the butter pack for the bread it was just liquid and went everywhere. The chowder was bland and had no prawns

The last time I visited Anglesey and The Pier Hotel was 2019. The gorgeous Welsh Rarebit was then £6. Still pricey but worth it. This time, it was basically a melted bit of cheese on dry focaccia and cost £12.50. As I had ordered this for myself and my Dad, plus 2 lattes, I ended up with a bill for £34!!!!!! Vastly overpriced. Constant warnings to mind the seagulls didn't nick our food and seats crammed too close together. I heard customers on the seats at the front, complain chairs were too low for comfort and one left without ordering. Sadly, I would not recommend this venue.

A great spot for watching the bay over Beaumaris - right by the Ferris Wheel and has great views even on a rainy day. Service was quickly and friendly. I had a nice big portion of chips and kids had fish and chips and a huge slice of cake. Great experience.

The jail is worth going to. The lady on the reception knowledgeable, friendly and chatty, the gentleman that gives a talk before you make your way around is very knowledgeable and helpful. Genuinely a very nice gentleman and interesting too. You'll see when you go. The courts are okay. Doesn't take too long to walk around. Obviously longer if you read everything. Definitely worth paying for a duo ticket. But be aware there are some steep steps

Great place to visit with the family in Beaumaris. It's very original and interesting to learn some of the local history. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our visit. You can buy a joint ticket which includes the court house opposite the castle.

Really interesting place. Great information plaques giving the history of the gaol, the police force, and crime and punishment (stealing a sheep: life in prison). Some good exhibits in the cells and governors rooms. We had a really good time.

Visited the Gaol on a showery day to keep us entertained for an hour. The Gaol offered a lot more than we expected with plenty of insight into the prisoners experiences and crimes. Spent longer than we expected we would touring the place and the kids loved in. Popped into the court afterwards for a look at that too. That doesn't take as long to look around but is worth a quick look in if you have the entry as part of the Gaol ticket.

This is a must visit! A place rich with history, and filled with information for all ages. The trail for young children was good. Looking around was very interesting.

Very good morning spent here. The staff are really friendly and the place was decorated for Halloween with the kids allowed in free. The lock master was full of great history and had a really passion for the place and local histiry. Lots of interesting facts and things to see. Some great etymology on the sayings 'screw' and 'money for old rope' I would go and visit yourselves

This was an interesting place; really glad I visited here! There was lots of interesting information - lots of reading so may not be great for kids. The cells felt very stark and imposing. I’m not sure the mannequins added much personally. The staff were really great (and so cheery given the depressing institution itself). The manacles, the doors, the cells were all very stark and very imposing - amazing to think how hard life was 150 yr ago. But then we came to the treadmill (possibly the only one still in-situ) and the door to the gibbet and things got even more shocking. The actual door to the hang-man’ noose that people have walked through to their death - shocking!

Went for a walk and saw this beautiful looking bridge with spectacular views especially on a day with good weather. Will definitely be coming back here when I visit North Wales again. If you’re passing by, highly recommend stopping by and appreciating the views.

A beautiful bridge connecting Anglesey with the Wales mainland. Lots of walks around it base alongside the Menai Straits on both sides. Treat yourself to a rib ride under it!

The views from this bridge are gorgeous and it's a brilliant bridge all on its own. Pity about the roadworks (July 2025) as we queued for around 20 minutes. The walk across would be even better. Worth a detour if you are in the area.

My favourite bridge, built bt Thomas Telford. I love the bottle green colour of the sea here and the whirlpools when the tide is high and the sun is out. Looks such a dangerous place to have built such a structure, truly incredible.

A really great experience and impressive historical bridge.well worth a visit if you are travelling nearby. Do spend some time viewing it and a path leads to the bottom where you get some great views and get to appreciate the engineering of this bridge.

Historic and well maintained, great to warlk over and its free. Get great pictures.

Lovely area to go walking along the Menai strait and under the bridge. Follow the coastal path to church island. Great view point between both bridges. Great selection of shops and places to eat close by.

Fantastic food, good portion size, piping hot and very tasty. Probably the best fish and chips i have ever had. We ate in and everywhere was clean and tidy. The staff were extremely friendly and service was quick. We ordered 2 adults fish and chips, 1 kids fish and chips, 2 pots of curry sauce, fruit shoot, can of beer and a latte. Total cost £47 which in my opinion is fair price for fish and chips at the seaside.

When I first walked in here I thought the fish and chips where going to be amazing with the resrestaurant being so clean. How the food let this place down the chips where over cooked and the fish was okay, but not worth the money. The sausages where the best we ordered. All in all we will not be coming to this over price chippy again.

Husband and I on holiday. Husband ordered and collected so I don't know price, but the best battered fish in a long while. Fish was moist and fell apart. Batter was crisp and crunchy all over. Not a hint of soggyness. Chips were lovely. Excellent birthday supper

Absolutely delicious. We had two portions of cod and chips and everything was perfectly cooked - chips were excellent and fish could not have been cooked better. Lovely atmosphere with families eating with children and staff naturally friendly. My first review of the Neptune despite many previous visits. Don't understand some of the reviews the Neptune has received - there is actually another chippy on the same street and anyone that expects fish and chips to be an especially cheap option these days needs a reality check - maybe try reading the prices on the menu board first? Just a thought.

Not eaten at this chippy before, but have to say that they are probably the best chips I've had in a long time. The establishment is clean and decorated nicely and the staff are friendly. The food arrived exactly as ordered and in a timely manner. The food was cooked perfectly and the chips and fish were not greasy or oily and were full of flavour. Shame I don't live closer or I'd be there more often.

Freshly cooked fish and chips. Hot. Nice curry sauce too. Ate in from take away cartons(eco friendly ones). Quite full but not noisy. Staff friendly and cleaned tables as people finished.

These were the nicest fish n'chips I've had in a long while, real chips made from fresh potatoes, fresh cod and the batter was well cooked and crispy and they weren't at all greasy. They're not the cheapest but we'll worth the money, Thank you.

We landed on this by chance, I don’t normally like hotels, just too many bad experiences. If every hotel was like this one, I would happily do more. If you book here, you won’t be disappointed. This is a family run hotel, the owner was around and helpful. The staff wasn’t just helpful, but actually liked their job. Bar staff did a great job, also had a coffee and cake bit. It’s spotless, breakfast was brilliant, staff also again helpful and so friendly at breakfast with lots of choices. Both reception staff, helpful, happy and couldn’t do enough. Room was spotless and had everything you need. Perfect location for everything around, if you have a dog, it’s perfect stay for them too. Thank you so much, for making our stay perfect! We will be back! Lisa, Jay and Betsy the Lab

We have just returned from having spent a wonderful long weekend relaxing at the Bulkeley Hotel. This place oozes character and charm and has to be one of the best ‘dog friendly’ hotels that we have ever stayed at. We stayed is a basic inland room which was more than adequate for our needs, with a large bathroom and lots of storage space. We found all the staff, without exception, helpful and friendly. To top it all off the food was lovely too! We will definitely be coming back!

I spent the penultimate day of my summer holidays here in August 2025. This place is a fantastic place. I hope and plan to return. It would be best to return bringing with me some delectable lady company to enjoy and share this place together. I hope to sample their bedrooms, bar and restaurant again next time. The staff at this hotel are excellent. This place harks back to fabulous historical times, the good old days. Live life in the past as it was meant to be. Fabulous. A new and old favourite. Never been to Beaumaris before - but I would like to come again.

First impressions were promising—a great location and a beautiful building. Unfortunately, things began to unravel the moment we interacted with the staff. Doubts about the hotel’s quality quickly crept in, and by the time we reached our room, any sense of optimism had vanished. The carpet was filthy and ripped, the bathroom had a dented bin lid, there was no toilet brush, and chipped paintwork was just the beginning. Even the lift had incorrectly labelled buttons. At the bar, my girlfriend ordered an Espresso Martini. The barman didn’t know how to make it and, even after being guided by another staff member, still got it wrong. Breakfast service was a mess on both mornings. Guests were waiting over 15 minutes for basic items like tea, coffee, toast, or even fried eggs and bacon. The staff were clearly inexperienced and lacked training—not their fault, but a direct failure of management. I emailed the General Manager twice asking for a response. I received nothing. That silence speaks volumes about his lack of care, passion, or responsibility. But don’t just take my word for it—check in, waste your money, and see for yourself. Maybe now I’ll get a email!

We stayed 29/30 August 25 - will definitely return. Extremely lovely staff in Reception & Restaurant all approachable & so pleasant to talk to. In particular thanks to John undertaking night security who kept checking on me in the early hours when I came down to read a book in the lounge area. So kind. Dinner & breakfast delicious - really enjoyed. Facing the street was a little noisy going to bed but it certainly didn’t stop us have a good sleep as it became very quiet - apart from seagulls of course 🐦 but of course that goes with the sea front location - perfect for wandering.

I have been waiting to take my mom and dad for a while. The hotel didn't’ disappoint. Fabulous service, food superb. Had an inland room which was spotless and comfortable. Only negative was the shower had no power. We are already organising our return trip.

My favourite hotel in Anglesey. Beautiful views with old world charm... we had a 4 poster bed that was so comfy to sleep on. It's right in the middle of the town so you can just step out of the front door and all of Beaumaris is right there... the shops, the cafes and of course the castle. Can't recommend it enough 🥰

Great food, so happy we chose this place. We ordered too much and are happy for it. Defo drop in if you're in the busy and crowded town this place is perfect, a quiet street away.

1st time visiting this restaurant and we will definately be back. The food was delicious and the staff pleasant, friendly and very welcoming. Thank you

I ordered the Tandoori Mix Starter at Sarisa Indian Kitchen, and it was absolutely spot on. Each piece from the juicy kebabs to the grilled paneer was bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. The smokiness and spice level were just right, showing the chef’s real skill with the tandoor. The dish was beautifully presented too, with a swirl of yoghurt sauce topped with pomegranate seeds and a fresh crunchy salad on the side. It looked like fine dining but still had that rich, authentic Indian taste. You can really tell the chef put care into every detail both in flavour and plating. Friendly staff, clean atmosphere, and proper value for money. Definitely worth visiting if you enjoy well-made, chef-crafted Indian starters with bold flavour and visual appeal.

Lovely food will be coming back here just need to remember the bottle of water on the table you have to pay for if you open it and it's around £5 but good service and friendly 🫶

The cuisine was delicious, specially the shik kebab. It was a great starter. The lamp curry was a blast. Ross malai with ice cream gave an amazing finish.

Excellent indian, both meal and service,we love Butter chicken, we had 1 each with me taking garlic rice,my partner going for special rice, both were top notch. The bowls of chicken and sauce spot on and hot, we had a chapati each, gorgeous, Indian chicken butties.Staff member mentioned they do a spicy version,having that next time. Book it online.

Amerikan here eating in the UK and I must say - Great staff, great environment, clean friendly place, prices are great and very spacious, we had a big family come in and was treated greatly, will be coming back here again and again, A+++

Food was incredibly bland. The fish was okay, chips were pretty decent. We got the platter and the scampi were the best out of the bunch. Overall, it tasted super oily which killed the freshness of the produce. Wouldn’t eat here again

We noticed a sign outside saying gluten-free options so decided to drop in for dinner. We were really impressed with the range of gluten free options for the coeliac in our group. We all ordered fish & chips (gf and regular) which was delicious. It was cooked to order for us so the food was hot and fresh. We felt it was very reasonabley priced too. Very happy we stopped there, great food and great for people with allergies

Great food, perfectly cooked. Unique location. Lovely team. Many thanks for a great lunch experience. Had the haddock, onion rings, calamari & chips of course. Yum!

I've been getting fish and chips here for a few years when I visit Beaumaris. In the past it's always been delicious but this evening I ordered lightly battered Haddock x 2 and Whitebait with chips. The Haddock was very thin, dry and overcooked we binned most of it. Whitebait and chips okay. Will try a different establishment next time we visit Beaumaris

Really nice fresh fish. They do gluten free options aswell.

Pleasant enough but not great. Given so many choices to eat in Beaumaris; I regret this one. If the patrons were to read and respond to the reviews (which I notice they don’t) I would say; Save the loud music for the evening crowd Put rice in the salt to absorb the moisture - none of them worked Thicken up your batter recipe.

Call for lunch really good fish and chips. The staff were lovely. They are excellent honest and lovely 😍 would really recommend 👌.

Absolutely the best gardens I have ever seen, it's like going into another world. The cafe is lovely and some lovely plants for sale too. I would highly recommend a visit here, we didn't want to leave.

Plas Cadnant is a beautiful place to visit. As soon as you walk in through the gates, you're hit with the impressive view down the lawn, with it's pyramid topiary taking your eye down to the pond and the woodland below. The upper gardens have beds of hot colours in the summer. The lower woodland garden has meandering paths that allow you to explore the many wonderful plants, trees and other interesting features. A river runs through the valley, forming beautiful pools and waterfalls. Tours of the garden are run frequently by the head gardener and you get to see areas not usually open to the public. The café's conservatory has nice views over the garden. Pleasant outdoor seating is also available. It serves light lunches and their cakes are also recommended. One word of warning though... the silver teapots can be extremely hot! Wrap a napkin around the handle to pick them up safely. You'll often see the friendly owner of the garden helping out in the café or welcoming people outside. He's great to chat to if you have any horticultural questions. Accommodation in a number of on-site cottages is also available. As someone that visits frequently, I definitely recommend a visit.

Absolutely lovely place. The manicured garden is beautiful, and the jungle are is amazing with some incredible old trees and interesting and restful wet areas. Loved it. There are 3 different routes which are re well signposted and suitable for different levels of fitness and physical ability.

We have been coming to Anglesey for many years now but for many reasons we have never been here before. But we were just utterly amazed by this place. The gardens were stunning and the work that went into these was just simply amazing. Cafe was nice we just had a cuppa. Will definitely be back.

Highly recommend for a peaceful moment out. The walk doesn't take long, but there are lots of benches around the garden to sit and enjoy the peace and beauty of nature. The variety of hydrangeas was stunning as were the plants and trees.

We visited here on Tuesday, such a beautiful garden, plenty of seating to sit and take in the peaceful setting… Had a light lunch before we walked the gardens, great service, lovely food and plenty of seating with views over the garden or outside in the courtyard… Highly recommend a visit

An absolute gem - peaceful, stunningly beautiful with well signed route through the woods and gardens. Excellent cafe to regain your strength as the red route is a little challenging in places. There is a slightly easier route as an alternative.

My wife and I had an amazing trip out to Puffin Island today. Chris was such a nice guy and a superb skipper who kept us entertained with his boat skills. Really enjoyed hearing about the history of things along the way too. Fascinating stories from the past. The weather was good: some sun and then wind and rain which made for a thrilling run eastwards and then a rollercoaster ride back home with big waves. It’s a brilliant set up; chilled and worthwhile. I’ll be back with the children for sure. Cheers RibRide!

Absolutely fantastic. Chris our skipper was polite, knowledgeable and great fun. What a fabulous trip it was. Will definitely go again and recommend for adults and children. It was such fun, get it booked it’s a great price too at £25.

Chose to do the Puffin Island tour with Ribride, due to their location near Menai Bridge rather than from Beaumaris, as it was close and convenient. Tour was a blast. Good commentary, great views from either side of the boat, amazing scenery, and we saw some late season Puffins and seals. Even if we hadn’t it would have still been a great trip. Lots of time to take photos. Be aware the boat moved pretty fast so be careful with hats and glasses. They provide ponchos to keep warm.

We had a weekend away nearby and as one final activity before we left we booked on the Menai Straight adventure. We have left the boat ride wanting to do more rib rides and to see alot more of Anglesey. The captain was Ollie who was absolutely brilliant. He was funny and witty but excellent at his roles of piloting us about and being a tour guide whilst keeping us all safe. We had a great tour up and down the Menai Straight seeing all the main sites and a little speed boat manoeuvres to finish up! Absolutely worth the price l! The office staff were lovely and friendly when checking in and complementary use waterproofs are available if you wish (we used them, they were clean and excellent at keeping us dry and the wind out of our souls ) If you are looking for a different perspective on the south shore of Anglesey and the Menai Straight, go see the folks at RibRide!

We went on the rib ride 25.08.25. It was great. The safety brief was thorough. We were informed of what to expect along the way. We were lucky to have great weather which made it even better to see the sites of Anglesey from the water. All staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend

What a fantastic experience we had, excitement from the word go. A bit of everything today, flat water and the fuller swells. We got a little wet but expected it, absolutely brilliant afternoon going up to Caernarfon castle and back. Will be back next year, thank you to Jez our pilot and the rib ride team

Fanastic trip "beyond the Bridges" Charles our skipper was brillant with the two children and very informative on the local area and wildlife adding to the overall trip. The rib and equipment provided ( new waterprooof suits!) were perfect and held up to the showers meaning we could fully enjoy our experience warm & dry. I would fully recommend Ribride for a thrilling family adventure.

Unnecessarily curt and dismissive! 35 years in the antiques trade does not give this shop the privilege to judge potential customers on their intent or ability to make a purchase. I was reprimanded for a mere brush of my hand on a dresser and advised I'd be better off visiting a National Trust property. In the words of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman "big mistake.... huge!". Awful experience.

This shop is in a lovely location, has a beautiful exterior and inside is arranged in a museum style. It is well packed with curiosities, furniture and history. The only problem I had was the hostility in the air, the owner watched our every move and didn't greet us or say anything which I found strange. Nonetheless it is a lovely shop with beautiful antiques in a gorgeous seaside town.

A stunning array of antiques in a proper antique shop of old. Independently run. A mixture of kitchenalia, Welsh antiques, high quality wooden furniture and decorative pieces. Absolutely well worth a visit when on Anglesey !

I really do not know why the previous review was written other than the fact I refused to sell this person one of my collection of early violins. the problem with some people seems to be if you know more than them, they have to write bad reviews about you,(something we have learnt in the past 35 years in the trade) We would not be rude enough to tell people the amount this person offered for a victorian violin byW.E. Hill of London, but i am pretty sure if he offered that amount to other dealers, they would be a lot ruder. Non rude violin "experts" are most welcome in our shop.

Unnecessarily rude. Wouldn’t make a purchase based on owner attitude alone.

A wonderful treasure trove of antiques particularly kitchenalia. We really enjoyed our visit. The owner was very helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. We purchased two antique Staffordshire chickens, Hovis tins and more and are delighted with our purchases. We look forward to our next visit.

I was brought up in Beaumaris before moving away to work.The shop is an institution in the town and known for the quality of its stock and knowledge of the friendly helpful owners. I'm so sorry to hear that about the chemotherapy. Get well soon. Louise

Delicious meal with superb service from Mia and the team. The Detroit-style pizza blew us away. Loved it. Thank you x

The staff were very busy but still had time to see you were happy. Ensured we were happy with our selection. The food was utterly delicious and presented well. Best Tapas we’ve had anywhere. Only visiting the area but would highly recommend it, will go back when we visit again. The chef gave us a wrong dish but I said it was lovely and they gave us our original dish for free. How good was that!

I'm sorry to say, this was a big disappointment. Food portions on the whole are very small. Some items like the bread and patatas were very generous but others were barely a bite. Ordered patas bravas, it didn't come. Asked one of the waiters, was told it was coming. 20 minutes later, told it was missing from the bill, asked if we still wanted it. Another 15 minutes go by... At this point we are well passed eating all our other items. Asked them to cancel it so we could get the bill, then then still tried to charge us for it! The staff were very nice and the place is lovely and clean. It's just a shame it's overpriced and there were not enough staff to manage, leading to errors and poor communication.

We had a brilliant meal at The Midland Tapas and Wine Bar last night. The food was genuinely excellent - some of the best tapas we’ve had outside of Mallorca, and that’s saying something! Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Our waitress, Mia, was also fantastic - friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. A bonus: it’s dog friendly too, which made the experience even better for us. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality tapas in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

We arrived for our table 10 minutes early. The table wasn’t ready (understandably) and instead of suggesting we grab a drink at the bar, the waitress told us to come back later. The food was absolutely awful. We had the chorizo with fries and egg. The eggs were dreadful, and the chorizo was pale and cold. The croquettes were soggy, sat in oil from the fryer, and also cold. Their service was poor at best, and the waitress didn’t check on us during the meal. When I explained that the two dishes were inedible, she took one of them off the bill. I then had to ask for the other to be removed. She then asked how everything was! I said it was awful and she replied with ‘sorry to hear that’ and walked away! The whole experience was terrible! The wine was good though!

A strange (in a nice way) place. The concept is tapas but they do full size pizzas and other non Spanish type dishes. The food was good our favourite was the Peeking Pig. We don’t get a chance to return but would go back. Is dog friendly

What. A. Place!!! This was one of the nicest collections of small plates I've ever eaten. And I've been to a fair few tapas restaurants in my time. The atmosphere inside was bustling but not loud, the owner was working this night and she was just lovely. Every member of staff had a great attitude, and you could just tell that every customer was having a great time. Match all of this up with the gorgeous and well-priced food, and you can tell why the place was full. I can't wait to go back!

I would like to give my warmest thanks to the lady in the church who comforted my wife when we went to light a candle in memory of her son, and my stepson on the seventh anniversary of his death. She said a prayer for him and my wife was greatly comforted.

Ancient church, steeped in history, pleasant grounds. Visitors welcomed.

Definitely worth checking out if you are visiting the area. Lots of information descriptions explaining the various pieces of history.

little church but pretty and full of history. good for take a short time to visit

Beautiful Church Ramp for wheelchairs on one side So peaceful

A very large welcoming lovingly maintained church with the grounds to match. Wonderful architecture in the big church itself and it is just as impressive on the inside where there are some glorious stained glass windows and statues and fascinating memorial plaques on the walls and on the floor. The graveyard is well maintained as is the small memorial garden. A beautiful church that is well worth a visit whilst in Beaumaris or just as a stand alone destination.

Every time I want to attend a service at this church, I search for details about the services and times. There is absolutely nothing on line to help. PLEASE get some information out there, and you might increase your attendance too.

The chicken and bacon baps were full and delicious. Cakes are amazing. Will definitely be going again. Staff were cheerful, polite and very welcoming. Would recommend.

Pur favourite bakery. The bread and cake selection is amazing. The almond slices are the best ive ever tasted. Definitely recommend

Came here late in the afternoon the other day as we were in the area and fancied a pasty or pie. Only cold ones left which is fair enough, not their fault we were so late in the day. Baught an egg mayo sandwich instead which was not the best to be honest, just very bland. Baught some cakes for later, I got a Tiffin which was OK and a Salted Caramel slice which tasted off and I had to spit out and throw in the bin. Husband got a lemon tart and a couple of other things which he says were nothing special. Most of the staff were nice but overall our visit was dissapointing considering the great reviews, we had high hopes for the food and were not overly impressed!

Tiniest steak pies ive ever seen. More of a steak bite really, more pastry than meat. Shame it's gone like that used to be nice big filing pies...

Fantastic bakery with well made and delicious products! The eccles cakes were outstanding! Sadly, I was only able to visit once!

Delicious spicy sausage rolls and scones. However, the bacon baps were a bit disappointing (margarine instead of butter and bacon was pretty tasteless).

Superb choice of breads,cakes and pies. Meat and potato, chicken n mushroom, stand out. Get there early.

The medieval style pub has lists history, it makes you feel cozy, warm,relaxed, the food are tasty, the potion of the food are huge, the biggest I have ever seen in UK,I don’t think one people can finish.

Visited for Good Friday lunch, The pub is warm, inviting, friendly and spotlessly clean. The food was outstanding 👌 So fresh and tasty and good beer & cider! Will definitely be visiting again. Well done to the staff 👏

Great little pub. We loved reading about the history of it. My husband got bangers and mash and I got the fish burger. Both were great

Great little pub with excellent food and service! Stopped in for dinner and the food was really tasty and served quickly! For pub grub this is definitely above the normal standard which was a really nice surprise. We had a long day and were tired so weren't really looking forward to eating out but they have plenty of seating over a few rooms so it was nice and quiet and just what we needed for a great price. Highly recommended 👍

Lovely pub and very well decorated. Tried our chances today and went in without a reservation for 4 people for a Sunday Lunch. They managed to accommodated us on a table by the bar. The service was very fast however, whilst waiting for the food and whilst eating the food the staff did nothing but complain to each other about how busy it’s getting and how busy it’s going to be etc. It made us feel uncomfortable and rushed and didn’t give a nice atmosphere. The food was good and plenty of it however the roast potatoes were dry which is nothing in comparison. All in all, not a terrible experience but we would try other places before returning.

This place is serving excellent burgers. Massive portion, really good quality meat

Food and staffs were really good. One of the few good restaurants in Beaumaris.

Really glad we came here for dinner. Gemma, our waitress was really nice and attentive. She looked after us really well. Rang up the day before hoping for a table of 8 with 2 dogs and they were really nice and were able to accommodate us at such short notice. The mussels are a must! I would highly recommend this place.

Food here was first class- everything was so fresh and we loved the local products used throughout the menu. View was great and service was brilliant too. I will definitely be visiting the other restaurants soon!

Seafood chowder was delicious. Muscle was a must have item. Seafood in general was great. Meat was slightly above average. Service was very good. The restaurant offered a surprise to my son. It’s his birthday night. So sweet!

We sat upstairs and the view is fantastic as was the food. We had the calamari, lamb on hashbrown to start followed by seafood linguine and king prawns. Couldn't fault the food. The only thing I can fault was that we weren't greeted as we entered the restaurant. We had to wait a while until someone spoke to us but apart from that our experience was fantastic. Visit you won't be disappointed.

Had a great meal here with my sister while visiting the area. My sister is allergic to shellfish and the staff were right on top of her menu choices - really great to see. I had the mussels (even though this is a “wrong” month for eating them) and they were divine - I haven’t had anything even close to them in terms of taste since Iived in Normandy. We were really pleased to be given a table in the patio area, which had great views of the water.

Best to book a table online as it’s always really busy. Worth the wait though because the food is delicious and the views are stunning. The outdoor patio area is definitely the best way to capture the panoramic views and smell the salty sea breeze.

Amazing food, beautifully presented but whilst the staff were nice enough, the service was slow and they clearly didn't have enough people on to deal with the amount of walk ins they accepted. Location is fab, terrace has a stunning view (but you will be fighting off sea gulls!) But the staff need a more experienced manager (or one on shift!) to organise them.

What a lovely pub & hotel. Called in during a visit to Beaumaris. Plenty choice on the menu for gluten free. A few including dairy free options, but I stuck with the jacket potato and prawns, it was delicious. Lovely helpful staff, and a cozy warm atmosphere. I can't comment on the rooms as it was lunch only.

We went for lunch, when dropping our daughter off at Bangor uni. What a wonderful place. The food was homemade and simply delicious. I had the steak pie, which has huge chunks if succulent steak and loads of gravy. I'd recommend everything though and will be visiting again when we go to collect our daughter. The service was also excellent and the staff very friendly.

Brilliant place. Excellent food at reasonable prices. A good choice of dishes to choose from. I had liver and onions my husband had gammon with the trimmings. Just what we look for. Friendly staff and good service.

Often drop in for lunch when home visiting my parents, our dog is welcome too which is always a plus! Always a friendly welcome, no need to book on quieter days. Great efficient service and delicious food, lots of choice on the menu, food served hot and plenty of it! Always consistently good. Will definitely be back yet again!

Any place that describes its Steak Pie as Famous is living dangerously; I have a high standard for steak pies. That said, their description was entirely justified; it was a magnificent pie, probably the second-best one I've ever had (the best was in North Yorkshire, so they aren't direct competition). There was a lot of it too, so go hungry when you order. Everything else was terrific too. Good beer, friendly and helpful staff, a clean and welcoming place to eat and drink. We liked it so much we went back a few days later. Five stars! (Note: Google maps currently has this on the wrong side of the street and a few doors down from where it actually is.)

We came here for a meal yesterday and the food was amazing. My husband and our friends had the steak and ale pie which came with chunky chips and peas. The pie looked tasty with lots of meat in it. They said it was delicious. I had the cheese burger which came with chunky chips, a pot of coleslaw and a pit of chilli dip. Would definitely recommend the food. The people who run it are lovely and friendly and its such a lovely atmosphere. I'll be booking again.

I went to The Liverpool Arms last Sunday with the family and we had a great time. The Sunday Roast was lovely and plenty of it. The service was exceptional with all the staff attentive, polite and efficient. It was very reasonably priced too. We had two very young children in our group , who were well looked after by the staff. Would definitely recommend

Interior ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The decor was nice and it was a good use of space, divided into sections. The bar was quite a nice feature however we couldn't help notice that the windows were really marked and there were a few issues with tables not been completely clean. Service ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The guy serving was friendly and he had a lot to do, he was the only person we saw all night so he was dealing with all customers both dine in and take away. There was a bit of a wait on our food and we think that had an impact on our fries. Food ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ So the main attraction was the endless fries however this is no longer offered. The guy said it was due to nutrition however it is my choice surely? If I keep ordering fries then that's on me! However when the food arrived I have to admit I wouldn't be rushing to order more of the fries, generic freezer to fryer fries which needed to be super fresh to be decent, an unfortunately they were starting to cool and go limp when they arrived. Burgers on the other hand. We had a variety including both chicken and beef options and I can confirm they were all really good. Nice and juicy beef and the chicken was soo thick and coating was on point. We also had onion rings and chicken tenders both of which elevated the meal massively so defo get the sides ordered! Price - ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ At £20 a head for burger, fries, drink and share of sides is not ridiculous however I would say for the overall experience I was left feeling a little hard done by, probably isn't too bad that it would stop me returning. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Probably a harsh overall score but in the context of expectations vs reality I was left overall disappointed by this meal. Lots of positives but also a number of negatives. If I returned to Anglesea I probably wouldn't rush back to Toms.

First the waiter was really nice. Then the food..great! Mine was «a simple veggie» with mushrooms topping... So good. I don't know if it was the brioche or what. Then the dessert, a toffee cake. Really nice. I also tried the garlic brioche with mozarella, as well i liked it. A great end for the day. If you stop to see Menai bridge, try this place.

Parents plus nearly 3 year old trip to Toms. The pictures you can see are the Benji board (child's) and the Nik Nak burger. Wife ordered a different burger not pictured. The child's portion was a little much. The chicken was in my opinion an adults portion. Quite floury batter and very large chicken. My advice would be to go to Goujons or nuggets for the nippers. A couple that arrived after us ordered 2 of these for their 2 children and they also failed to eat it. If you do decide to go order a garlic bread or something as this thing is a beast. My burger. It was ok. I feel like I let myself down having heard about the reviews and expected a super tasty burger. It was average...the spice was average and came from the 3 chilly slices that were in the cheese. Meat Patty was red which I guess you expect but as you will read in a minute, it gave me something to think about when I saw my wife's cook. Not enjoyable. My wife's burger was undercooked. This was a concern as we were the only 3 people in the building (our family). They explained that the meat will often be cooked red....which I explained that I understood as it's a meat pattie and not a burger but I can assure you it was uncooked and rare. This was backed up by the chef as they were happy to prepare a new one. The positive of this was the helpful server who gave us drinks on the house which was a great gesture based on the undercooked meat. If you don't eat out a great deal or have a lot of experience with beef then this place may intrigue you but my family will not be coming again unfortunately.

Nothing special here folks! Ordered couple of burgers after reading so many 5 star reviews. The burger looked juicy and fresh, but both burgers tasted sweet. I think it was the sauce they used. The sweet sauce didn't help with tasting the meat because it was overpowering. For some reason every sauce we tried in wales tasted sweet. The fries didn't tasted fresh, but more like frozen ones fried. Not sure if ill recommend this place so highly. Use your own discretion.

Lost! Went on a Sunday evening at 7.30. Inside, only a few tables and most of them with already food in their plates. Despite not being busy at all, we waited more than 15minutes for the waitress to take our order and get our drinks but the best was yet to come: after 1hour we decided to ask where our food was and we were told it got lost, they forgot to send it to the kitchen! Utterly disgraceful!!! I mean guys, if you cannot cope with only a few customers dining in, you should probably consider a career change.

Excellent.... Impromptu visit as didn't fancy cooking. Grabbed a table, waiter was very polite and service impeccable. Ordered and food arrived shortly after our drinks. Onion rings were very fresh and crispy as were the chips. Burger was tasty. We would certainly recommend.

Really is one of the best burgers out there. Clean 5
