Best hotels by the sea in North Wales

Guide readers are unswervingly loyal to this family-friendly country house by the sea, with peerless views to Snowdonia across Cardigan Bay, run by the Fletcher-Brewer family since opening in 1948.

Sandy Mount House, Rhosneigr

The sands of time have seen changes at this formerly drab Edwardian seaside guest house, now a ‘beautifully refurbished' contemporary hotel and restaurant.

Osborne House, Llandudno

‘Splendid’ public rooms decorated with oil paintings and gilded mirrors give this small hotel on the promenade an air of ‘impressive grandeur’. On the upper floors, some of the ‘characterful’ suites have glorious sea views.

Escape, Llandudno

Above the town, this design-conscious B&B occupies a white stucco Victorian villa close to the Great Orme Tramway.

Hotel Portmeirion, Portmeirion

The centrepiece of an extraordinary Italianate resort village, this Victorian mansion is on wooded slopes above the Dwyryd estuary in glorious Snowdonia.

The Bull – Beaumaris

Beaumaris

In a lively seaside town known equally for its medieval castle and its ice cream parlour, this ancient coaching inn is today a ‘friendly’ hotel with updated bedrooms, a stylish restaurant, and a well-preserved pub whose wonky doors, open fireplace and old photographs create much atmosphere.
