A brand-new festival for Anglesey
This year brings something new. The team behind the much-loved Beaumaris Food Festival is launching the Anglesey Summer Festival on 1st and 2nd August 2026 at Parc yr Odyn, Pentraeth. Expect more than 100 food, drink, craft and homeware stalls, plus street food, bars, live music and family fun. Pentraeth is only a short drive from Beaumaris, so it's easy to enjoy the festival by day and return to town for dinner and a stroll along the pier.
Castles, puffins and the great outdoors
No summer visit is complete without Beaumaris Castle. Built for Edward I, it's known as "the greatest castle never built" and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It sits just yards from our front door.
Fancy getting out on the water? Boat trips to Puffin Island leave from the pier directly opposite the hotel. Visit Anglesey also lists sailing regattas on the Menai Strait, lifeboat days and wildlife walks across the island all summer long. Beaches, coastal paths and mountain views are never far away.
