The salt air carries straight off the Irish Sea here, sharp and clean, with the call of gulls overhead and Holyhead harbour not far beyond the rooftops.

The Orient offers both traditional guest house rooms and camping pods, making it a flexible choice for couples after a base near the ferry port, walkers tackling the Anglesey Coast Path, or anyone breaking a journey to Ireland who fancies something more interesting than a chain hotel. It's open all year, which matters on an island where the weather rarely stops moving, and dogs are welcome by arrangement — worth asking when you book if you've got one in tow.

What you get depends on whether you choose a pod or a room, but this is Holyhead accommodation rather than a traditional campsite in the fields-and-hedgerows sense. Campfires need checking on arrival. The vibe is practical and harbour-town honest — a place that knows its job is getting you sorted, fed, and out the door toward Snowdonia, Holy Island's cliffs, or the morning sailing.

Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path

Circles the entire Isle of Anglesey over 200km of varied coastal terrain, from gentle clifftop strolls to rocky headlands with moderate climbs. Most sections welcome dogs year-round, but many stretches are unsuitable for buggies due to uneven paths, stiles and steps. Families with older children will love the stunning beaches, prehistoric sites and seal-spotting opportunities. Tackle it in stages – the dramatic South Stack cliffs and Newborough's dunes are absolute highlights worth the effort.
