The Moorings - an apartment that sleeps 9 guests in 3 bedrooms
Anglesey holiday let - self catering in Cemaes Bay
The Moorings is a ground floor apartment on the edge of the water overlooking Cemaes Bay. Originally the ground floor was part of a house built for a “Sea Captain”. The property has kept many of the original late Edwardian features.
The large shared garden forms part of the sea wall, allowing direct access to the beach. The costal path passes directly outside the garden gates providing great coastal walks in either direction.
Highly rated on TripAdvisor, it has breath taking views from its position on the edge of the idyllic village of Cemaes. Less than 5 minutes walk to the shops, pubs and cafes.
The Moorings provides an ideal base for exploring the area. The large garden provides plenty of space for kayaks, plus storage for bicycles, fishing and beach equipment. For the adventurous there is a small slipway steps away from the gate which provides excellent launching for small sailing dinghy's and kayaks.
A fantastic location for a family holiday, walking, kayaking, sailing, cycling, birdwatching or fishing. A real versatile location!
Details / Description
The setting of The Moorings is really quite special, offering breath-taking sea views of Cemaes Bay across to National Trust land.
Whatever time of the year, this beautiful property offers exceptional views of the harbour and Cemaes Bay from the sunroom, lounge and two of the bedrooms.
Cemaes is a small fishing village with colourful houses, shops (Post Office, pharmacy, village stores) pubs, cafes and a Doctors surgery. It is located on the north coast of Anglesey and is a good starting point for coastal walks and bird watching. There is a nature reserve a few miles away at Cemlyn which is renowned for its bird watching and Church Bay further along the coast boasts a lovely beach with bistros serving locally caught lobster and crab.
At the eastern end of the village is a broad, flat, sandy beach which offers a great venue for sunbathing, swimming and water sports.
This apartment can sleep up to 9, book in combination with The View @ The Moorings to accommodate a group of up to 14.
