Ye Olde Bull`s Head Inn

» Beaumaris

The original inn dates from 1472 and the emphasis here is on atmosphere, character and first class cuisine. One of North Wales' top eating places.

This inn has been a convivial meeting place on Beaumaris’s historic Castle Street – the famous medieval fortress is almost next door – for many centuries. The low-ceilinged, wooden-beamed bar can’t have changed much since the days the stagecoaches used to stop here, or from the times when it welcomed celebrated guests Dr Johnson and Charles Dickens. But you have to sink into the comfort of the lounge, a seamless mix of traditional and contemporary styles, to appreciate the Bull’s true character. Your hosts Keith Rothwell and David Robertson have brought a fresh, modern touch to this venerable inn. The bedrooms are beautifully furnished in a range of styles, all sympathetic to their historic context. And by summer 2008 guests will have the choice of staying next door in the boldly contemporary Townhouse, a late-medieval building that is being converted into 13 colour-themed luxury bedrooms.

The food at the Bull also displays great flair and imagination. It’s one of North Wales’s top eating places (foodies rave about the seafood) – the stylish, sophisticated restaurant certainly looks the part. The more informal downstairs brasserie also wins plaudits. There is much of interest in history-laden Beaumaris and Anglesey. Penmon Priory, a site of great antiquity, is close by, along with tongue-twisting Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (this is just the shortened version!) and the National Trust’s mansion of Plas Newydd. Just a short drive from the Menai Bridge, the hotel is also an excellent touring base for Snowdonia.
