The Boathouse Hotel Restaurant in Isle of Anglesey

We. stayed overnight had breakfast and dinner both were fantastic. My wife is vegetarian and dinner menu had the most options for here we have ever seen I had gammon which was lovely and service was good very attentive. we were pleasantly surprised as as from the outside not looking the best however room was clean as was bathroom plenty of towels coffee and tea in the room. Overall we loved it.

With an allergy to parsley, it was explained that I had 4 options from an extensive menu - so clearly not made in their kitchen. The gammon and salad were lovely, but the chips were like bullets. Friendly staff and reasonably priced, but we won't be rushing back. We would prefer to pay for quality. A flying visit, so pushed for time and hungry.... Good luck.

We stayed here for the night before catching the ferry and were very pleased with the spotless accommodation and the friendly and helpful staff. Good quality food. We'll be back next year for our ferry trip.

Clean room, friendly staff, very commendable veg curry. Pleasantly out of town with sea views. Certainly seems like the best bet in Holyhead.

Where to start… the “restaurant” is extremely dated and everything was sticky (floors, tables, cutlery etc) . The staff had poor manners, shouting from behind the bar to take orders while we were seated at a far away table. The food was terrible, the roast beef dinner was dry and the vegetables looked and tasted like they had been reheated several time. It was so bad I thought I was being setup. Definitely will not be back!

I used this venue for my works Christmas party which turned into and impromptu engagement party for myself and my partner. The management went out the way to make it amazing. The buffet was absolutely first class and the whole staff celebrated our special occasion with us. Since then we have been attending the live music nights which have been great, talented singers and drink deals. The food has been perfect too, locally sourced, home made meals (even the nachos are made in house) cooked to perfection. Charity Quiz nights once a week, bingo each week with a charity raffle m supporting local charities and organisations. I love this place.

Stayed here for a weekend break, first impressions were not great, outside needs a lot of work doing on it, unkept gardens, shabby paintwork. Inside...went to "reception" (don't know what to call it) but was greeted with 2 old looking sofa's, dog hairs on the floor, general untidiness and staff that didn't look as though they knew what they were doing, found out they had only taken over a couple of weeks ago but first impressions were awful, i thought there and then what on earth have we booked here, suprised when i eventually went to room, that was very clean but quite a strong smell of bleach, tea and coffee looked like they had been there a while. Breakfast is another story, there was only 6 people in all having breakfast and we had a while to wait for it, when it did come, mine and another guests were lukewarm and 2 other guests had to send there's back as it was cold, didn't book for breakfast day after. Sorry i know you have only just taken over but you really need to get more organised, as at times you looked very much out of your depth. I know it's hard in hospitality as I've been in the trade for over 30yrs. But first impressions were not good at all.

This hotel is like fawlty towers .nothing like its advertised. Very dirty and very dated ..rooms awfull not clean .can't see out of the windows there that dirty . Rooms not cleaned daily so no fresh towels or top up of milk coffee etc .staff don't seem to know wot there doin .food rating star 1 only this isn't advertised as I would not have booked this awfull place..please please please avoid this dreadful place .was so glad to leave !!!!!!

Nice friendly atmosphere, very helpful to our enquiries about the area, always come here when we come to Anglesey with our dogs who are treated like royalty, missed ceri, who is also an amazing hostess like Sarah “ thanks”

Me and my partner who is gluten free had a lovely experience as the chef went out of his way to make sure my partners food was gluten free as far as going to the shop. Also the garden has sun all day. As well as beautiful scenery and friendly staff

Great friendly service sat in the side garden outside in their lovely patio area out of the sea breeze , we had our puppy Dalmatian and pointer who were made to feel so welcome given treats and drinks by the very friendly bar staff , it was very busy as the fair was on but nothing was to much trouble. The locals in the bar were also welcoming, we will definitely return as the food looked amazing to “ thank you” 29/07/23

Fantastic staff and beautiful rooms. The food is lovely. All in all a beautiful stay. Exceptional hospitality.

The hotel is in a good location and it is your average 3 star hotel. The rooms could be refreshed and the Wi-Fi could be better. Staff are friendly and the food was good. There’s plenty of parking available around the building but it is on a slope: we came on a Harley Davidson and parking it was not easy. For this reason we would not go there again with the bike.

Great food, friendly staff, stunning views, pet friendly, Best gamon my grandpa has ever had. Definitely would recommend going to.

Great food, amazing staff. Hopefully we'll be there again this weekend. 👏 Loved the outside seating, met some cool people. Lovely atmosphere

Since moving back to Holyhead last year this has become our go-to place. The quiz and bingo nights every week are always good fun and easy going. We eat in the restaurant quite regularly and the food is always great quality. The staff are fabulous, always friendly and welcoming, engaging and nothing is too much trouble. We gave the afternoon tea a try while we had family visiting and three generations where all blown away by what we got. The fact that it does such good work for the local area and supports local charities makes this place even more incredible

Called in for coffee and brunch. Disabled access not clearly marked. Found ramp and path. Blocked by patio furniture. Managed to move but broke a glass table top. Place very quiet. Must be great in summer. But perhaps not early January? Nice latte. Cheese Burger and chips was ok.

Hotel situated at end of Bay Area and below mountain range. Good food and drinks. Dog friendly in the bar area and large conservatory at side of Hotel. You can visit and eat and drink there.

We had lovely service and really enjoyed the homely food however we were a family of 4, with one a young child, and didn't have many drinks and a 1 course meal came to over £70 which we would spend on much higher quality food...

What a lovely hotel we went for meal and drinks Bar staff were very friendly helpfull drinks were good priced too as we had a meal on the second evening and it was very tasteful The views arond the bay was good

I very very rarely leave bad reviews for places, but when I ordered 2 large diet cokes they tried to charge £10. When I queried the bill, which showed 4 glasses, rather 2, they told me that they charge two glasses for a large. I...

We visited for Sunday lunch - and we enjoyed ourselves!We had different food including fish and chips, a Sunday dinner and sandwiches - everything was fresh and well cooked.The staff couldn't have been more helpful - and the food wasn't over-priced... we went back after a walk round the breakwater and had coffee and yummy ice cream.

Fabulous lunch at The Boathouse today . Waitress was fantastic ensuring that meal was Gluten Free for one guest, brought out one item to show ingredients as she was unsure . Great venue and well presented .

Stunning food and excellent service. Hotel is in a quiet part of the island overlooking the harbour.

Had lunch here today. Two meals selected. Battered fish with chips and garden peas; and sliced chicken leek and ham in a cheese sauce with new potatoes and garden peas. Both excellent. Could'nt fault it. Staff were friendly and gave the impression they enjoyed one's custom. Dogs allowed in conservatory and bar

The quality of the food at this restaurant varies enormously. My first evening meal of beef in guiness pie was lovely with lots of tender beef but my second nights meal was awful. I had the pork and bacon chop mix. Both chops were tough as old boots and very overcooked.Breakfast was bog standard with very little thought put into it. The bacon and sausage were of the cheap cash and carry type. Local butchers do far better quality. The mushrooms seemed to have been cooked a lot earlier and were dried out as was the bacon. the toast was made from bread cut too thinly to make good toast An option of black pudding would be niceOn the plus side the staff were lovely

Nice Sunday lunch with parents. As vegetarians myself and daughter ordered jacket potatoes and my parents a roast. Good food and good service. Only criticism would be lack of choice for vegetarians. Would visit again

Came with family start of January! Had a lovely meal, the food is really good! Staff very accommodating and it’s reasonably priced! Can not fault, would recommend to others!!!

Lovely restaurant over looking the harbour we sat on table 20 by the window watching the boats come in. Recommend the fish and chips so tasty couldn’t fault it here really nice for families

If I could, I would give them 6 stars. I spent there a few days and nights and feel awesome. The staff was great. Without any problem, they solved our silly problems. We could also go back quite late to our room - there was always someone at the reception desk to open the main door. Our room was cleaned every day, fresh towels, shampoo, and a shower gel - not common in many places. But, be prepared if you are from the continent - pull a string from the ceiling if you want to have power in a bathroom. Food in the restaurant - yummy. It was OK to ask for something different for breakfast than they offer in their menu. But also the choice of cereals, yogurt, and juices - we were full after breakfasts. Dinner - take crabs - huge plate with lots of veggies and yummy crab. But, no matter what we chose, it was difficult to eat everything. The good choice of beers in a bar. And a great view from the restaurant or chairs which stay outside. We had a great time there, and hope will come there again.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the food here. It is great bog standard pub grub fair.

We were a party of six and had a lovely evening meal at this hotel. Did not stay at the hotel, however the place was clean, the staff were friendly and the food delicious. Large portions, piping hot and freshly cooked. The pies are delicious cooked in lots of tasty gravy with large chunks of tender meat. All staff that took our orders and served us were great, however Marina took time out to provide useful information about the locality, she is charming with a great sense of humour. Large car park and plenty of parking on street outside. We would return without hesitation

If the staff didn’t out number the customers then it was pretty close. The food was very ordinary. Staff were great but place is greatly lacking in atmosphere.

We stay at this hotel when we come to Anglesey for a few days but, as we were here for a week we hired a cottage in Trearddur Bay. Came here for an evening meal on our last night and both the food and service are excellent.

Went here after a recommendation from a friend. Food was average - nothing to write home about. However, food was £3-4 too expensive per dish. Won’t visit again.

I really enjoyed my stay here. From the friendly welcome on arrival I knew this would be a great place. Rooms were scrupulously clean with more than ample towel provision. The bar was cosy, fun and friendly with locals and visitors alike. Breakfast was fast and filling. They are a little proud team of excellent Welsh operators who seriously know how to provide a great guest experience. Great location if you need to run to ferry the next morning. Thanks guys, I will be back.

Popped in for a pint after walking some of the coastal path and the black sky came rolling in. After 5 mins it travelled fast and blew over with a bit of lightning at sea. Lovely walk dodging the majorettes with their BBQs in the bus shelters at the festival on the front.

A good menu and all food is freshly prepared. The staff as friendly and helpful. They also provide a takeaway service. Large portions well cooked .

It’s been sometime since we had been to the Boathouse.

Choose restaurant because it looked good and was dog friendly too. Wasn’t disappointed tasty food and generous portions will come again Nice friendly staff good views from the conservatory. Plenty of parking space

Even though I’m local.... this is a place I haven’t really visited for food. Popped into today with my son and friends. We had fish and chips (from the light bites section, which was larger than expected) with ice cream for dessert. I would highly recommend it! The service was friendly, especially the lovely Joan! And the food arrived very fast! Definitely be coming back here to eat

Good food and great service. Lovely views over the holyhead harbour Can recommend the vegetable lasagna and curry. Always great service from marina and other staff. Highly recommend.

We called in here for an evening meal whilst staying in Holyhead prior to sailing to Ireland. The eating area was currently holding a wake for someone who had past away recently, so we were shown into the conservatory. There was quite a good range of food available. I had the fish and chips whilst my wife had the curry. The food was plentiful, hot and tasty. The staff were attentive, polite and hard working. If I was staying in Holyhead again I would certainly call in here for some more meals.

We really didn't know what to expect when we walked in the door, and were cheerfully greeted and seated. I had a dish with pork in some mushroom sauce over a bed of noodles and potatoes, and it was delicious. I am providing shots of the 3 dished we had. Everybody loved the food.

Visited for a quick lunch with our daughter . Not a huge menu choice but nice enough. Quick service and decent size portions. Staff were lovely, restaurant clean and spacious, but did think it was slightly pricey for what we had.

Visited on a Bank Holiday Sunday with my fiancée and young family for a spot of lunch.

Booked on arrival in Holyhead late in the day. Checked out this accommodation on Booking.com before calling in. The room was very spacious with clean bedding and comfy bed. Décor and furniture not of the standard of a £95 room. Also a drunken guest who couldn't get in at 02.00 spent 30 minutes banging on every window and shouting and swearing about not being able to get in!!!! Would have thought a small discount would have been a good will gesture. A very average accommodation

Staying here for a night every 2 Weeks since July.

Lovely room ,but again walls are thin doors slamming, towels to small,no heating in bathroom,nothing worse than a lovely hot shower to get out into a cold room. The food was ok staff very friendly as was the locals which is nice.

This restaurant is a very nice place to dine and in a great location. Rather old fashioned but with a lovely ambiance and a welcoming feel. The staff were friendly and eager to ensure that we had a pleasant time, nothing was too much trouble. Four of us dined and 3 of us were very happy with their meals. One meal was the breaded place which sadly lacked the quality of the other dishes and was a disappointment. We are all happy to recommend the Boathouse.

Been here once before last year and as a family, are planning to come here again. It has a Nice selection of food and drinks! :)

Dos amigos y yo tuvimos una comida muy agradable en este restaurante, la comida era deliciosa y bien preparada y bien presentada. No era el más barato restaurante en la ciudad, pero nos sentimos que estábamos bastante cargado por lo que recibimos. Gracias.

Dos veces he comido aquí nunca me decepcionó tanto ocasiones encantador paseo playa es un poco fuera del centro de la ciudad, pero a poca distancia fue muy servicial personal Wifi se puede ver la salida de los ferries roll n alojamiento (un poco cara)...

Pésimo servicio. La mujer que nos servía era grosero y tenía cero personalidad. La comida estaba bien. Pero toda justicia la comida podría ser sido Estrellas Michelin pero el servidor/camarera era suficiente para arruinar toda la visita. Ella no era una vestimenta apropiada. Nunca más.

Comimos aquí en un domingo por la noche, ya que nos quedamos en la zona como un preludio de nuestra visita a Irlanda. Fuimos a la recomendación de la ser y ser propietario de donde estábamos. La comida era muy buena y abundante, y no...

Basic pub style food served here but expensive for what you get, as are the drinks. The staff are marvellous though, friendly, pleasant and capable.

Recently ate here and felt as if we'd gone back in time, with a rather old fashioned look to the pub and dining room. The food was poor - salmon fishcakes came with chips which weren't mentioned on the menu plus peas and salad. A largish plateful but the fishcakes were tasteless and could have been anything. Hunters chicken was slightly more tasty, came with chips and salad and was the better option. Unexciting selection of beers and average wines. This pub is in a good position but no one has capitalised on this....a pity.So, basically OK but nothing special.

poor decor, which is totally unsuitable for this location beside the country park and Holyhead harbour.The food is less than disappointing.The staff are doing their best- which is probably not good enough.This is a place to avoid unless you are looking for cheap.

We have used the boathouse on about 5 occasions in the last 3 yrs.must say everything about it has improved. The rooms especially room 18 are lovely .18 overlooks the harbour.you also get an excellent breakfast in the price of the room.nice bar area for a relaxing drink. .Overall a really nice place to stay ...the food in the restaurant is also very good value

First class hotel, room was very clean and spaceous, and the breakfast was well cooked and plentiful. Stayed here for four days and found the staff very pleasant and helpful would definitely stay again.Salty Sam

We stayed here overnight recently while on a short visit to Holyhead. It's a nice hotel with comfortable rooms and good food. The staff were very friendly and the view over the marina from our room was really nice. Good value for money.

What a great place for a restaurant - almost on the beach and close to the Breakwater Park. We sat oustside in glorious sun in the very pleasant gardens. Chose to eat baguettes and chips. Absolutely huge and excellent quality!GIve it a try - probably the best in town.

Went here for a family gathering. The buffet that was laid on was absolutely amazing. Food plentiful, fresh and extremely good variety including an array of wonderful deserts. Highly recommended for a function or just a lovely meal.Staff extremely helpful and curtious.

We ate at the Inn on the Bay - the pub attached to the Hotel (not the Restaurant) - food was good and wholesome with tasty cask ale to wash it down.

We came here for dinner. We were surprised that, for the end of July, this place was nearly empty. The menu is what one would expect - all the usual offerings of an average restaurant.The decor was vaguely 'boaty' but they could have done a lot better in view of the position. It is all a bit tired and un-memorable.The food was OK but nothing to write home about. The service was mediocre.

Great menu with good food the best Syrup sponge with loads of hot custard absolutely yum. Very friendly staff.

Just come home from the Boathouse after a family party to celebrate my father's wake.The staff were not very friendly even stating, if we wanted to take any left over food home we would have to provide our own foil/plates etc. because of health & safety rules!!It would have been interesting to know which rules, but they probably wouldn't have known.Nice buffet but, the emoyees spoilt my wake. Won't go there again.

I've been here about a year ago and the lasagne was amazing but last night it was beyond a joke it was just fatty mince and pasta with no sauce at all!! it was tasteless and boring , every one else enjoyed there meals apart from me . Very disappointed

A good quality meal at a reasonable price so no need to leave the hotel to eat. Service was good from friendly staff.

Food isn't great here, poor ingredients and the burgers were overcooked. Chips on the side were ok. Atmosphere is ok, but wouldn't go back again unless we were desperate!

We booked a wake here. The food was really nice. They let us play our own music, had our own private room and it was lovely. The service was nice.

We were catching the ferry in the morning and as there did not seem to be many places to choose from for a meal, so we were grateful to find somewhere acceptable. Large car park. Nice view over the sea. It was quite busy but staff were friendly and allowed our small dog inside.It could do with a complete facelift but the food was of a very good standard and I would go there again.

I had the poached cod, potatoes and veg dinner. It was plentiful and exactly what I had hoped for, cooked they way I liked it! My dessert was a pudding made from blackberries and tart cherries with custard on top…delicious!!! Friendly efficient staff and reasonable pricing! Me, my mom and my sister also had our breakfast here before heading to the Irish Ferry port, it was very good and included everything you wanted in a full breakfast!

We visited the restaurant at this hotel and found it to be reasonable with good service. Great for anyone looking for a family style place to eat while in Holyhead!
