Boating Cottage

The resort and its setting

Boating Cottage sits on Lon Isallt in Trearddur Bay, a few minutes from Holyhead on the Isle of Anglesey. It's a small, independent resort rather than part of a large branded complex, which tends to mean fewer units, a quieter feel, and a more personal relationship with the people who manage it day to day. Being RCI-affiliated, owners here can use their week for exchange through RCI's network as well as for their own holidays. On Google the resort currently shows 3.7/5 from a small number of reviews, which is worth bearing in mind — it's a modest, low-key property rather than a resort with a long review history.

Trearddur Bay and the area

Trearddur Bay is known locally for its sheltered bay, popular with swimmers, sailors and families, and the wider Holyhead coastline is one of the more scenic stretches of Anglesey. Within reach of the resort are South Stack Lighthouse and its dramatic clifftop views, Holyhead Maritime Museum for a look at the town's seafaring past, and some excellent coastal walking along the Anglesey Coastal Path. Local seafood restaurants and a handful of Celtic heritage sites complete what is a fairly quiet, nature-and-history-led part of Wales rather than a nightlife destination. It suits owners and renters who want walking, boating, birdwatching and coastal scenery over organised resort entertainment.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Boating Cottage and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing goes live for a one-time listing fee, and we don't take any commission on the sale or rental — buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform to agree terms.

Because Boating Cottage is independent rather than part of a large branded chain, resales here are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a central corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its management: the current transfer or resale fee, whether the resort holds a right of first refusal, how long ownership transfer usually takes to process, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are published here, so get them in writing before any deposit changes hands. A resale buyer should also clarify in advance exactly what transfers with the week — for example, whether any RCI exchange credits, points, or outstanding fees carry over, or whether the buyer starts with a clean slate once the transfer completes.

Renters, meanwhile, are mainly looking for straightforward things: confirmed week dates, what's included in the unit, proximity to the bay and coastal walks, and clear communication from the owner. Being specific about the unit size, view, and what's within walking distance (the beach, local restaurants, the museum) will help your listing stand out to the right renter.

Practical notes for buyers and owners

Because this is a small independent resort with limited online reviews, it's worth asking the current owner or resort management for recent photos and a maintenance fee statement before committing to a purchase. If you plan to use RCI exchange rather than staying at the resort itself, check which RCI deposit rules apply to this specific week, as exchange value can depend on the season and unit type. Anyone renting rather than buying should also confirm check-in arrangements directly, since independent resorts of this size don't always have a 24-hour front desk.
