The Ship Inn is an olde worlde pub set in a perfect location, and Dog friendly, overlooking the beautiful Red Wharf Bay on the northwest coast of Anglesey. Facing east on the lee side of a hill, it is protected from the prevailing winds and catches the morning and afternoon sun perfectly. It is difficult to imagine a better place to enjoy gourmet food and real ale, whether it is taken outside at the picnic tables or inside in the cosy bars or restaurant areas. The whole place exudes charm and warmth and the friendly, helpful staff reinforce the feeling of calm and relaxation.
Red Wharf Bay itself is a quiet spot with superb views and is an excellent base for walking or discovering the delights of Anglesey by car. It’s just a short drive from the main road, yet feels like it’s miles away. All this makes it the perfect year-round retreat.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Plas Newydd is steeped in history and so interesting. Rex Whistler was hired to paint the mural here. As you walk past the mural things in it move around, A truly brilliant optical illusion. The grounds are beautiful and the view over the Menai Straits is stunning. They have a very nice café too
