General Information

Directions to the office:

Follow the A55 to Holyhead.  At the round-a-bout by MacDonald’s, take the third left towards Holyhead Town Centre.  You will pass through three sets of traffic lights.  Continue along this road, passing the rear of shops such as Boots and Woolworths, until you come to the Kings Arms and Marine Hotel.  Turn left onto the Prince of Wales Road.  Take the immediate right after the playground and car park on your right (opposite T.S Ganges – Sea Cadets).  You should see the Boat Yard directly ahead.  Turn left and follow this road until you come to a white building partly embedded into the hill.  You should see a kayak rack on the side of the building.  This is our office.   

Directions to the house:

Same as above, but do not turn at T.S Ganges.  Continue along the Prince of Wales Road until you come to the first mini-round-a-bout.  Turn left onto Walthew Avenue.  The guest house is the first house on your right-hand side.  Please ensure you have been given the code for the door before you arrive.  This is usually given out a few days before arrival.  Turn the handle all the way anti-clockwise.

Opening Hours:

The office is open 9am – 5pm every week day and 9am – 10.00am on weekends when courses are running.

Residential  courses

We assume that you will be arriving the night before the course.  We provide breakfast and packed lunch but not evening meals.  Meals are self-service.  There is a small kitchen/dining area for your use complete with tea and coffee facilities.  Towels and bedding are provided.  The guest house consists of four bedrooms; one double room en-suite, two twin-bedded rooms, one bunk-bedded room and two bathrooms.  During busy periods we may expect you to share a room.  The house is situated within easy walking distance of the town centre.

Non-Residential

Please meet your instructor at 9.30am at our office overlooking the Harbour.  We recommend you bring with you a packed lunch as sometimes it may not be possible to find somewhere to purchase food.  You will also need a towel.  Most courses finish before 5pm each day.

Parking:

Please note that our guest house is situated in a residential area.  We would be grateful if you could avoid parking directly outside the other houses.  St David’s Street is the next turning left and usually has plenty of parking space without annoying the neighbours.  Thank you.

Equipment:

Please notify us in advance if you require equipment.  We do not provide footwear (old trainers or sandals are fine) or under layers (thermals, fleeces etc). 

BCU Courses:

Please ensure that you read the relevant BCU syllabus before attending the course.
