Stanley Arms, Holyhead

As noted below this is a small single room with the bar on the right and a carpeted area to the left. There are tiles around the bar and overall this is a bit more plush than some Holyhead pubs. Despite that the bar is devoid of any hand pumps so I had to settle for Tetley smooth crap (£2.90) which was rubbish. Given that this one does food and accommodation you would think they might do one real ale.

This is a Victorian pub at least, now a corner place after the small building next door was demolished. It was refurbished a few years back and is in a light green rusticated lower frontage, with white upper that has sash and dormer windows. There is a rear patio area. The interior has a U-shaped room, with the bar one side (including the serving bar) and a dining area in the other that had comfy seats. I didn't eat so can't comment on that. The décor is red, green, white etc with grey wood panelling and a white ceiling. The walls have old photos of the locality on them. There is a TV, which had sport on and there was no music, although there is a jukebox. The service was friendly and there were a few regulars in. Beer; no real ale, just the basic keg range so I had a Guinness, which was fine enough. A general pub, happy to have popped in but nothing for the real ale fan.
