The devastating blaze at the Harbour Hotel in the centre of Cemaes took hold in July this year, with guests evacuated while fire crews battled the flames.

The fire had started some time before 11pm on July 3, and had continued burning into the early hours of July 4. Following the incident, Leah Marie Fitton, who ran the hotel, shared her heartbreak on social media.

She said: “Seeing it like this is absolutely heartbreaking.

“It’s not just a devastating loss for myself, but for our village.” At the time, she did not know what the future held for the hotel.

It is now hoped it could be fully refurbished and reopened “as soon as possible.”
