Y Stabl

Rhoscolyn is a rural area on the south side of Holy Island. The rugged coastline, with views of the Snowdonia range, is stunning and is set within Anglesey’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Rhoscolyn’s sandy beaches (Borthwen and Silver Bay) are very popular with both locals and tourists alike.

The local pub ‘The White Eagle’ (recently reopened following major refurbishment) has an excellent and far-reaching reputation for good food and fine ales/wines.

The Silver Bay holiday park, which has a restaurant, bar, clubhouse, shop and a private beach, is also a short walk from Y Stabl.  Guests of Y Stabl are entitled to apply for temporary membership of the Silver Bay club.  Please contact us for more details.

Llanwenfaen is the Welsh name (although probably not used any more) for Rhoscolyn. It means literally ‘Church of Gwenfaen’, and is named after Saint Gwenfaen, who lived in and set up a cloister / church in the area during the 6th century. St. Gwenfaen’s well, which is reputed to have had healing powers, dates back to this early Christian period and can still be seen today.
