About & Contact

Spacious, seafront 17th century cottage for 6

Porth Hir, a grade II listed cottage is perfectly located in the beautiful seaside town of Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey. The house is a stone’s throw from a pebbly beach with glorious, constantly changing views over the Menai Straits to Snowdonia. Peacefully situated on the edge of the town but only a 5 minute stroll from local pubs, restaurants and craft shops.

Porth Hir is a supremely comfortable and cosy home with plenty of space to sink into an armchair with a good book or just kick off your shoes and stretch out in front of the fire. There are 2 sitting rooms, 1 upstairs with a gas stove and a log burner downstairs with a Smart TV. The house is also centrally heated and there is whole home WiFi.

Upstairs there are 3 swish but traditional bedrooms and 2 smart tiled bathrooms. 1 with 2 full-size single beds, 1 king-size with ensuite shower room, 1 super king (can be separated into 2 single beds on request) with ensuite bathroom with bathtub. The third bathroom is located on the ground floor. Guests have frequently commented on the comfort and quality of the mattresses complemented by crisp white, Egyptian cotton bedding.

Porth hir has a long balcony accessed by a French door from the upstairs sitting room, perfect for watching the birds and boats go by while enjoying your morning coffee or early evening aperitif!

The kitchen is very well-equipped and the large range cooker is perfect for cooking up a storm. There is also a separate dining room with lovely sea views.

Outside in the pretty courtyard garden there is a bench sheltered under the veranda, the ideal space for contemplating those magnificent views, and a picnic table with umbrella and deckchairs for eating al fresco.

There is plenty to do in Beaumaris, explore the town’s medieval moated castle, stroll along the Victorian pier, browse in the craft and antique shops. There are shops selling local produce and plenty of choice for local pubs and restaurants. Don’t miss the Red Boat Ice Cream Parlour on the high street or Central Bakery on Margaret Street.

Anglesey is perfect for walkers, there are lovely walks straight from your door and the island is known for its miles of pristine sandy beaches and scenic coastal paths. Bring your binoculars for bird watching, sea kayaking and boat trips for spotting seals, dolphins and puffins. Bikes can be rented and the 17 mile Telor Cycle Tour starts and ends in Beaumaris. Bring your golf clubs to play on the nearby Henlys Golf Club course. Blackberry picking, building sandcastles, paddling in rock pools and crabbing are also traditional pastimes to be enjoyed at any age! But however you decide to spend your time in Anglesey we think you will agree that Porth Hir is a very special, magical home.

Reviews for Porth Hir

Meet the owner

Lorraine and Jacqui

Porth Hir was restored and renovated from a near derelict state in 2007 by Andrew and Eve Kenneally. It is still very much a treasured family home that we are now proud and happy to share with our lovely guests. We are of course biased, but we think it is one of the prettiest and certainly one of the oldest cottages in the town. We hope that you enjoy your time in Porth hir and the beautiful town of Beaumaris as much as we do. Have a great holiday.
