A FORMER luxury holiday guest house in Menai Bridge could become a children’s home.
Bryn Aethwy, a grand Victorian mansion said to have historic links to Anglesey nobility, is located in an elevated position at the centre of the town.
The twelve-bedroom mansion listed as at Lôn Pen Nebo/Hill Street, is in its own grounds above the Shell Petrol station roundabout, just off Pentraeth Road.
The Isle of Anglesey County Council has received a full application for its change of use from a short-term holiday let into a residential children’s home.
The application says the submission has been made by the Creating Chances organisation through the planning agents Cambrian Planning and Development Ltd.
The plans point out that the property will not see any changes externally. “No major works are planned. There may be internal reconfiguration to suit the proposed change of use,” it says.
“There will be internal alterations only that will not have any impact on the exterior of the property or grounds.”
An item about Bryn Aethwy on the Visit Wales website page states that the house “is a beautiful Victorian house of charm and character, often referred to by guests as a ‘retreat’.”
It adds: “The house is steeped in history with the 1st through to the 7th Marquess of Anglesey being mentioned in the deeds.”
The house went on the market with an Anglesey estate agent between August 2022 and June 2023, for just shy of one million pounds, but was not sold.
The application says that the application was received on November 6, 2025, and that comments over the plan can be made until December 17, 2025.
