Llywelyn Fawr

The morning light catches the bay through your pod window, and you can hear the gulls calling over the Menai Strait before you've even pulled on your boots.

This is a quiet spot on Anglesey's southwest coast, near the historic village of Aberffraw where Llywelyn the Great once held court. The camping pods suit couples after a coastal escape or small families exploring the island's beaches and coastal paths, while the guest house rooms work for anyone wanting a proper bed and a bit more comfort. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one along. The location puts you within reach of Newborough Warren and the long sweep of Cymyran Bay, though you'll want your own transport to make the most of this quieter corner of the island.

Facilities aren't detailed, so it's worth checking what's onsite when you book. Campfires are sometimes allowed—ask on arrival. It's open all year, and the feel is low-key and unhurried, the kind of place where you come to walk the coast and hear the weather roll in off the Irish Sea.
