Accommodation in Church Bay
Our Church Bay Cottages
Situated on Anglesey’s north coast, Church Bay is the epitome of rugged romance. Known as Porth Swtan in Welsh, the area was named by early 19th-century sailors who used the village’s church as a landmark.
A scenic stretch of shingle and sand backed by steep cliffs, the beach is perfect for blustery dog walks and bracing summertime swims. While there is little more than a quaint cluster of stone buildings here, one of them is a seafood restaurant with far-reaching renown and another is a cafe known for its oversized scones dripping with clotted cream and jam. Our Church Bay cottages promise the ultimate secluded seaside escape.

FAQs
Church Bay is in a secluded and unspoilt location, meaning there aren’t a great deal of things to do other than walk along the beach, drink in the views and relax. Discover the Swtan Heritage Museum, marvel over giant scones at Wavecrest Cafe and perhaps discover the beauty of Carreglwyd Estate nearby.
Yes! Church Bay is a completely dog-friendly beach, but keep in mind that from May to September you’ll need to stick to the far side of the beach with your four-legged friends.
Each of our Church Bay holiday cottages offer private parking. If you want to park closer to the beach or you’re simply visiting the area, you can find a small carpark at the top of the path down to the beach.
Despite it only being a cluster of a few buildings, Church Bay is home to the Wavecrest Cafe and The Lobster Pot restaurant, two beloved Anglesey icons.
Food & Drink
The Lobster Pot and Wavecrest Cafe are in the heart of Church Bay, offering some of the finest seafood on Anglesey. The Church Bay Inn sits on top of the hill overlooking the Irish Sea. A short drive from Rhoscolyn and Trearddur Bay, there are plenty of pubs and restaurants within a short trip from Church Bay.
Things to Do
Situated right in the heart of the Anglesey Coastal Footpath, Church Bay is the perfect starting point to explore up to Cemlyn Nature Reserve and onto Cemaes Bay for a bite to eat in The Stag. Llynnon Mill is a must-visit. Home to the famous Mon Donuts, it’s a brilliant day out with the family. There are hidden beaches along the northern coast of Anglesey, many of which are accessed by the coast footpath only, so finding a secluded beach to escape the world with a book is the perfect antidote to modern life.
