Beaumaris wouldn’t be the same without the grand Bulkeley Hotel perched in the middle. It’s iconic, love it.
Pros:

Love this hotel. Return again and again. Perfect location and super dog friendly.

Cons:

When new owners came in there was some confusion about how to get breakfast (in the dog friendly area) and in the evening not all the wine list was available - think this was just teething problems though.

Good Old Fashioned Hotel
Pros:

Upon arrival we were greeted by the impressionable, competent and welcoming Charissa. Our check in was quick, and within minutes, we were shown our slightly dated, but large comfortable room. We had also booked the breakfast and evening meal (offered during the booking process) which is advised. Breakfast was plentiful, with most common options that are available throughout most British hotels (cereal, fruit, toast, juices, yogurt and cooked options too)
The evening meal is chosen from a small but varied and adequate menu. While ours was included with our booking, I have to say the prices for walk in customers or guests who hadn't included the meal with their booking, were competitive with local pubs and restaurants around Beaumaris. On top of that was the pleasure of being served by the warm, lovely staff of The Bulkeley Hotel !
I must also mention the eclectic decoration of furniture and antiques, that add to the ambience of this wonderful, and occasionally quirky hotel.

Cons:

Breakfast served a little slow, but understandable during the busy time.
Tables outside, perhaps could be cleared quicker, to prevent the seagulls gathering!
After having one bottle of our favourite Sauveghan Blanc, it was disappointing that they ran out during our stay. Carpark busy !

A great value charming place to stay with lovely staff - A super choice if travelling with a dog
Pros:

Staff were exceptional ( Linda & Julia) Really traditional hotel ( feels like you are in an Agatha Christie drama) but everything worked and was clean - I was travelling with my dog and the staff went out their way to accommodate us - I did not eat dinner in the hotel but breakfast was excellent - Overall wonderful value and a really charming place - would use again

Cons:

Be aware their is limited parking - The car park was full when I arrived - I managed to park on the street but this could be a struggle in the summer months

Anglesey Trip
Pros:

Lovely hotel with a grand old style feel. Staff excellent and incredibly helpful. Location perfect on the front in Beaumaris. Very dog friendly and good food options.

Cons:

Room was cosy rather than spacious. Some of the decor was a little dated and the whole hotel would benefit from a bit of a face lift.

Very enjoyable experience all round and would definately return
Pros:

The bedroom was a good size with a wonderful view of the Menai Straights and the mountains in the distance .
The bathroom was very good with walk in shower as requested as I have mobility issues and cannot access a bath safely.
The breakfast x 2 was very good as was the service from the staff on duty both days.
The location of the hotel was superb as it was in ther centre of the town making access to shops,restaurants ,pier etc easy.

Cons:

The bathroom requires some shelving or cupboard for washing items / cosmetics etc as there was nowhere to place everyday items .
