An investigation's underway into the cause of a fire at a Cemaes hotel.

Four fire crews were called out to Yr Harbwr on Bridge Street shortly after 10.55pm on Thursday night.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said all guests and staff were evacuated safely after alarms were activated - but the hotel suffered substantial damage.

The aerial ladder platform also attended the scene.

Anglesey Council said Bridge Street reopened to traffic at 9am but the hotel has been closed off due to the risk of loose slates falling from the roof. Temporary traffic lights are in place and the first entrance to the Gwelfor estate is also closed until further notice.

In a social media post, Yr Harbwr's co-owner thanked emergency services "who responded so quickly and did everything they could to protect us."

Leah Fitton said: "It’s not just a business — it’s been my home, my life, and has always held a special place in my heart, for so many years. Seeing it like this is absolutely heartbreaking. It's not just a devastating loss for myself, but for our village."

"I’m holding onto one thing — everyone is safe. For that, I am endlessly grateful."

She added: "Who knows what the furture hold for The Harbour, But for now, I just want to say thank you to everyone, from the bottom of my heart."

A North Wales Fire and Rescue spokesperson said: "The cause of the fire is currently under investigation."
