About this cottage rental
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.

The Holiday Property was in an ideal location with tremendous views right
across the Bay with Shops nearby.

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.

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.

Wonderful to look out to sea .The houseneeds some work done as does the garden.The step from the lounge to conservatory is dangerous as it is made of paving stones.The shed for wet suits needs much work as does the outside of it.bedrooms very comfortable.To many steps.

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!

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!

A1 as usual
We have stayed here 3 times now and always find the place spot on. Its just so comfortable and handy for us to use as a base for all the water sports and walking we love doing on and around Anglesey.

A great stay
The Moorings is a great place to relax and watch the world go by. I could spend hours in the sun room overlooking the bay with that stunning view. The property is spacious, clean and has lots of character. The kitchen is very well equipped. Information provided from the owners in the manual is excellent and very helpful. The Bay itself is quiet but has the basic amenities: a general shop, butchers, pharmacy, pub etc. There's coastal walks right on the doorstep too.
We took my 80 yr old dad and I'd say it wasn't really suitable accessibility-wise both in and outside of the property there are a lot of steps, sloping garden and slippery surfaces. Unfortunately two of us fell whilst inside the property. The bathrooms could also do with an update. Other than that it was perfect!

Ferienhaus direkt am yMeer
Wundervolle Lage, wunderbares Grundstück und ein sehr schönes Haus. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben, aber der Urlaub geht zu Ende. Wir kommen sicher wieder hierher und werden die Unterkunft gerne weiter empfehlen.

Amazing place to stay!
We stayed at The Moorings as a family of 6 and had an amazing week!
The Moorings was exceptionally clean and spacious, views were breathtaking and facilities were plentiful.
Ideally located for walks around the bay and we found lots of very quiet beaches long the coastal trails.
We greatly enjoyed our stay and definitely will be returning next year!

A Special Place for a Special Birthday
I almost don’t want to post this review as I want to keep The Moorings a secret but that wouldn’t be fair on the owners or prospective clients.
The downstairs apartment is large and roomy and the views are to die for. It’s such a relaxing place, you have to drag yourself out, but it’s definitely worthwhile, such a beautiful area. The apartment has everything you need & very clean.
Note: there’s an additional 40 min journey when you cross over to the island but it is worth the extra time.
We will return.

An idyllic birthday weekend at the Moorings
To celebrate my husband's birthday we booked the Moorings for some of the family and the remainder of our party stayed a sort distance away in a separate property.
The location is truly stunning but gaining entry in the dark on the Friday evening proved difficult. There is another door which also has a key safe but this is not in use. I feel it would benefit future guests if this was made clear.
The property is extremely spacious with comfortable beds and adequate facilities. The views from the dining room are spectacular. The weather was glorious so we were able to take full advantage of them
The kitchen is very well equipped but when we arrived on the Friday evening the dishwasher had not been switched on so we were short of cutlery. We purchases dishwasher tablets from the local shop on Saturday morning.
I had to check before arrival if towels were privided which they were but again this could be made clearer.
The log burner was wonderful and very easy to use. Firelighters and logs were provided which was a lovely touch. We replaced these before leaving.
Overall I would definitely recommend this property and we will hopefully return at some point in the future.

Great views and comfortable accommodation
The Moorings has the best seaside view. We spent hours watching the sea, wildlife, sports people, dogs, children and beachcombers enjoying the perfect sheltered and safe beach.

Very enjoyable stay at The Moorings
Just returned from a weeks 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. We loved the ladder with access to the beach.
The house is very comfortable and very well equipped, especially the kitchen.
It's also great to have somewhere with 3 bathrooms.
Great customer service from Coastal Holidays. Would thoroughly recommend both them and the property.
We've already booked to go back next year!

Idealic view and stay
Repeat visitors here and once again, the view just makes this place. It is airy and well configured for an old house. Bedroom 3 at back is very small but comfy and each bedroom can have a seperate bathroom if needed. We are adventure seeking people and it's brilliant to go cycling, kayaking, swimming, snorkelling, walking, coasteering and sea jumping (If you know what you are doing). It's at the quiet end of the bay but within easy reach of the shops etc.... 5 min walk.
If you just want to chill, there are multiple places to do this, like the side decking with great BBQ (please clean for future guests), the gardens, the elevated decking overlooking the bay or the sun room which also has great views around 2 sides of the house,both to the bay.
Look, this place could do with a slightly bigger kitchen and more room in 1 bedroom but everything else counts that out. It's brill and we will definately be using it again. The lounge is huge with a lovely old fireplace (Log burner) if needed in the colder months.The owners leave you to it but are always there if something went wrong. Coastal are very good agents as well and keep on top of any enquiries in what has been a difficult year for the travel and holiday industry. The view (Top Flat) which is slightly smaller is also brilliant! You are literally on the edge of the beach.
Thanks again.

The Property:
A lovely property in a fantastic location overlooking the bay
We took the downstairs apartment which offered comfy beds and plenty of room to spread out, with garden to rear and a great little veranda to the side for coffee time or lunch. The lounge area is very cosy with full size TV and and a variety seating
Owners provide full kitchen utilities and a washer and dryer. with extremely helpful owners if assistance is ever required.,
Location: The walks on the cliffside are to die for and there are several decent restaurants close by the 'Gladys', less than a mile away , we found the best quality in terms location atmosphere and food good and the 'Trecastle' in Bull Bay also decent. We did not try the local pub The Stagg, as it was a little too small for social distancing.
Last., but not least, we found excellent service from Coastal Holidays.
A good time had by all.

Magical memories made at The Moorings
Spent a family holiday at The Moorings and will definitely be back. The location is stunning with amazing views. The house was perfect for our needs and very well equipped with high quality utensils and equipment.
4.8
Fantastic views and peaceful location
This property was bright and clean and spacious with many pleasant aesthetic touches. The views from many of the rooms as well as from the garden are fantastic. It was wonderful to be able to climb out of the garden over the stile and scramble down the rocks to the sea. With 2 young people suffering badly with CFS/ME we only left Cemaes itself once, and they hardly left the property, but there was still plenty to appreciate and for the healthier members of the family to enjoy too.

A wonderful mid week break!!
The Moorings was a perfect venue for holiday. Its' location is perfect, on the coastal path and overlooking the ever changing scenes of a coastal bay. We four ladies go away each year for a catch up. After our walks we relaxed with books admiring the peaceful outlook. The house is perfectly appointed with every requirement you could think of. There is a good convenience store and a cafe that serves good food. The only down side was that we were only there for 3 days!! As the saying goes 'We will return'

Weekend getaway at peaceful location with some fishing thrown in
Great weekend at the Moorings in Cemaes Anglesey. Amazing views - clean and exactly as described. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing break in superb surroundings. Local pubs and hotel had great choices of food from fine dining to pub lunches.
We will be returning next year. Only three of us stayed but can easily accommodate 6-8 people in comfort.
Thanks to all the staff at Coastal holidays.

A lovely holiday home right by the beach
This house was perfect for our large family and catered for all of our activities.the outside storage for all the wet gear was indispensible and the large garden was perfect for storing the canoes and playing football.the house itself was well equipped and comfortable .i think an improved washing line or similar would be a great help!otherwise a perfect holiday home for an active family holiday

Great location, property has potential
This property was fantastic for having plenty of room outside and being able to access the beach easily, along with having a canoe to use. Inside it is dated and although advertises for 9 people there are not enough dining chairs. Kitchen equipment needs to be expanded as it doesn't easily allow cooking for 9.
