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 cafA©s 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
