With no trains, long-distance coaches or tourist office, Beaumaris seems poorly served, but it does have a regular
bus
service to Bangor (#53 & #57; infrequent on Sun). The best of the
hotels
is the ancient and luxurious
Ye Olde Bull's Head Inn
, 18 Castle St (tel 01248/810329, A?70-90), used as General Mytton's headquarters during the Civil War. The
Bishopsgate Hotel
, 54 Castle St (tel 01248/810302; A?60-70; mid-Feb to Dec), is only a stone's throw away and almost of the same standard. Cheaper
B&Bs
can be found in the summer, though none are very special - you'd be better off at
Plas Cichle
(tel 01248/810488; A?40-50), an elegant farmhouse a couple of miles north near Llanfaes, or back in the town of Menai Bridge at the superb
Bwthyn
, 5 Brynafon (tel 01248/713119; under A?40).
Kingsbridge
is the nearest
campsite
, two miles north in Llanfaes (tel 01248/490636). There are plenty of daytime cafAŠs serving snacks, and more substantial
restaurants
are also in good supply, the best being
Ye Olde Bull's Head Inn
and the moderately priced
Bishopsgate House Hotel
, both of which also do great bar meals. For a great pint and good food, there's the wonderfully cosy
Sailor's Return
pub on Church Street.
Y Gragen Cocos/The Cockleshell
, 13 Castle St (tel 01248/810623), offers good seafood specialities. Other useful information
