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.
