Best hotels by the sea in North Wales

Guide readers are unswervingly loyal to this family-friendly country house by the sea, with peerless views to Snowdonia across Cardigan Bay, run by the Fletcher-Brewer family since opening in 1948.

Hotel Portmeirion, Portmeirion

Bedrooms are spread between properties in Clough Williams-Ellis’s extraordinary Italianate resort village, but this hotel centres on a Victorian mansion with Art Deco bar and fine-dining restaurant.

Osborne House, Llandudno

‘Splendid’ public rooms decorated with oil paintings and gilded mirrors give this small hotel on the promenade an air of ‘impressive grandeur’. On the upper floors, some of the ‘characterful’ suites have glorious sea views.

Escape, Llandudno

Behind the ornate stucco façade of a Victorian industrialist’s summer villa, Gaenor Loftus and Sam Nayar have created a very un-Victorian B&B with highly individual bedrooms.

Sandy Mount House, Rhosneigr

The sands of time have seen changes at this formerly drab Edwardian seaside guest house, now a ‘beautifully refurbished' contemporary hotel and restaurant.

The Bull – Beaumaris

Beaumaris

In a lively seaside town known equally for its medieval castle and its ice cream parlour, this ancient coaching inn is today a ‘friendly’ hotel with updated bedrooms, a stylish restaurant, and a well-preserved pub whose wonky doors, open fireplace and old photographs create much atmosphere.
