About this property

The Moorings - an apartment that sleeps 9 guests in 3 bedrooms

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.

Excellent Holiday Accommadation
Fantastic holiday home with everything you need. From the lovely views from the sun room and the balcony, to the well stock kitchen and comfortable beds. We loved our stay in The Moorings, and we have already booked a week for next year.

Perfect family base for seaside holiday
What a view, what a location! The whole bay spread out in front of you, so you can keep an eye on kids from the garden or sun room as they explore beaches, rock pools, the huge garden. Just minutes walk from harbour, pub, shop and chippy and a hop over the wall ladder to the beach. Sunshine throughout the day , just choose where you want to soak it up! Lovely variety of sitting and dining areas. Beds good, pillows hard as bricks, 2 showers, and bath, so plenty of space. Kitchen well equipped if tricky to navigate for more than one cook. V useful outdoor shed for wetsuits etc.

Superb property, wonderful view
We had a wonderful four day stay at The Moorings. The property was very clean and probably the best-equipped house we've ever stayed in. The views over the bay are second to none and we loved watching the changing tides. There are superb walks right from the cottage, one of which was the best walk we've ever done. The village has a couple of handy local shops and good pubs and restaurants. I also want to thank the owners who very kindly let us change our dates at the last minute due to a serous family issue. We'll be back!

A great place to relax
Have spent a lovely holiday at The Moorings (ground floor apartment). The location is superb – such a lovely sea view from many of the rooms, especially the dining room and the garden, which is huge. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. Good to have 3 bathrooms. Nice comfy beds. Outside drying room is great place to hang wet suits when children come off the beach. Great customer service from Coastal Holidays. Would thoroughly recommend both them and the property. We’ve already booked to go back next year!
