Number three on our list of five luxurious UK coastal venues is great if you are looking for a grand sea view. It doesn’t come much better than this.

It’s spacious rooms and private gardens make it an exclusive party or wedding venue. Exclusive hire of the venue includes full use of the spa for all residential guests.
CHÂTEAU RHIANFA
Nicknamed the fairy-tale hotel because of its French-style turrets, this Welsh castle on the coast of Anglesey is a charming choice for the romantic at heart. At its very roots is a love story. Built in 1849 by Sir John Hay Williams, Baronet of Bodelwyddan, as a gift for his wife Lady Sarah. She was enamoured by the 16th century architecture in the Loire region of France, from which this grade ll-listed château took its architectural inspiration. The Hotel is available for exclusive hire and is a magical wedding venue at any time of year. Particularly winter. When the open fire roars and you can look outside the banquet hall across the waters of the Menai Strait.
