The fortress by the sea comprises six cottages in a Historic Fort. Stylish and comfortable accommodation for up to 45 people, an excellent place for families and groups. Open all year around. Registered for weddings and civil ceremonies

The door to By-The-Way opens directly into a comfortable and characterful bed-sitting room with an upright piano in one corner. Though centrally heated, a flame-effect fire adds an extra touch of cosiness for winter days.

Kitchen has cooker, kettle, microwave and fridge freezer

A flight of open plan stairs leads to a space suitable only for a child or small person to sleep. Downstairs there are twin beds; these are next to a small bathroom which has the usual facilities and a shower over the bath.

At the opposite end of the cottage a short passageway leads to an attractive dining-kitchen with a window seat beneath an arched window. Though the view is of the courtyard, the eye is led to the focal point of the North Tower at the far end of the oval lawn.

The Blue Flag Awarded beach is close by at Dinas Dinlle

We had the whole fort to ourselves when we stayed. Loved the remote location right on the beach. Very quiet and very comfortable cottage. Will certainly book again.

Fort Belan defies easy categorization. An extraordinary, historic and beautiful space – we were blessed with remarkable weather and could enjoy the whole quadrant to ourselves. The 270-degree views from the ramparts are as good as anywhere on the planet; in the more common wet weather, it would be very cosy. Our room was simple, clean, comfortable, well equipped and spacious. It was unusual to pay for electricity and linen. Our host kindly provided towels which we did not have during a mixed hotel and AirBnB-style trip.

We absolutely loved our stay at Fort Belan’s ‘By The Way’ cottage. The location is just amazing and feels so remote which we loved. The cottage itself is well equipped but a few aspects could be updated – especially the sofa which looked quite ‘well loved’! I really enjoyed playing the beautiful piano. We would definitely return.

Fort Belan is a magical location. You stay in very quaint “cottages” around an immaculately maintained garden/courtyard, deep within the huge fortifications of a Napoleonic fort. By-the-Way is the smallest but cutest. It comprises a cosy bed/sitting room with a clever, tiny mezzanine built-in which really only a child could comfortably use. But there is a small but very grand, full bathroom and a super separate kitchen ( reached through a small tunnel through the massive fort wall! ) Staying Monday to Wednesday we had the whole place to ourselves and the peace and remoteness were heavenly.WE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT FORT BELAN, BY-THE-WAY.
If I had to find fault I’d say it needs a new sofa, there’s no life left in the current one and the arrival instructions need to make it very clear how remote you are… don’t forget the wine, it’s a looonnnng way to any shops!
