Planning the perfect family break in North Wales? When you choose anglesey self catering accommodation, you’re not just booking a place to stay — you’re unlocking access to some of the best family attractions in the UK. From wildlife encounters to historic castles and adrenaline-filled adventures, there’s something for every age group near our beautiful anglesey cottages.
Here’s our guide to the best family attractions near our coastal holiday properties.
1. Pili Palas Nature World
A huge hit with younger children, Pili Palas Nature World near Menai Bridge offers butterflies, reptiles, meerkats and farm animals — plus an indoor play area for rainy days.
It’s perfect for families staying in anglesey self catering properties who want a flexible half-day trip. You can easily combine it with lunch in Menai Bridge or a walk along the Belgian Promenade.
2. Beaumaris Castle
Managed by Cadw, Beaumaris Castle is one of the finest medieval castles in Europe. Kids love exploring the towers and walking the castle walls.
Staying in anglesey cottages means you’re never far from Welsh history. Pack a picnic and make a full afternoon of it in Beaumaris, complete with ice cream on the seafront.
3. Anglesey Sea Zoo
Located near Brynsiencyn, Anglesey Sea Zoo showcases marine life from Welsh waters. It’s educational, interactive and manageable in size for younger children.
Families booking anglesey self catering accommodation often choose this attraction because it’s easy to combine with a beach day at nearby Newborough.
4. Newborough Beach & Llanddwyn Island
For free family fun, it doesn’t get better than Newborough Beach. Miles of sand, safe paddling areas and forest cycling trails make it a must-visit.
Guests staying in anglesey cottages love the flexibility this location offers — beach in the morning, forest walk in the afternoon, sunset views from Llanddwyn Island in the evening.
5. Llanberis & Snowdon Mountain Railway
Just a short drive from many of our anglesey self catering properties, Llanberis offers lakeside walks, the National Slate Museum and the famous Snowdon Mountain Railway.
If little legs can’t manage a mountain hike, the train makes Snowdon accessible for the whole family.
🦓 6. Welsh Mountain Zoo
A slightly longer day trip but well worth it, the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay offers panoramic coastal views and conservation-focused exhibits.
Many families choose anglesey cottages because they provide a relaxing base after busy adventure days like this.
7. Rib Rides from Menai Bridge
For families with older children, RibRide offers high-speed boat trips through the Menai Strait. It’s exhilarating, safe and unforgettable.
Guests in anglesey self catering accommodation appreciate having thrilling experiences close to home — without long travel times.
