Isla Windmill

Introduction

In a state of disrepair when first discovered, this unique self-catering windmill near Beaumaris has since seen many years of tenderness; taking it from neglected flour-covered mill to luxury homestay. Inside, a mixture of art deco and 1970's influences meld to create contemporary living spaces with a lavish retro twist, while the alliance of island winds and mountain clouds perform sensational scenes across Anglesey’s skies and sea all around. On cool nights, head to the hot tub, which will soon become part of a blissful bedtime routine before tucking into modish blankets to the distant sound of the sea.   

Inside

A spiral staircase winds its way from the ground-floor dining room — which features a table crafted from the windshaft’s original gearing — past two double bedrooms on the first and second floors, all the way to the cherry on top of this extraordinary windmill. Wrapped in 240 degrees of floor-to-ceiling windows, the top-floor lounge invites you to sink into the curved velvet sofa with a bottle of red and let the far-reaching sea views and ever-changing skies envelop you. Perfect as a romantic retreat for two, Isla Windmill also offers the flexibility to welcome small families of up to four.

Outside

A sheltered walled garden follows the windmill’s round silhouette, where fragrant flower beds and two al fresco dining areas, facing both east and west to make the most of the sun’s rise and fall, can be found. Protected by a pretty dry stone wall, the garden's hot tub tempts long nights spent beneath the stars. The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Footpath joins Isla Windmill’s drive, leading in one direction to Puffin Island, the other to a white stone beach where cold-water swimming and fishing for supper guarantee rejuvenation.
