This is a very convenient ground floor South Snowdon Wharf flat situated on the popular harbour side of this select development in Porthmadog. It is most comfortably presented with views through the full length patio doors across the harbour and town. The patio has sun in the evening and the Welsh Highland Railway can be seen making its journeys over the Britannia bridge. There is a choice of shops, restaurants and scenic walks within 5 minute walk. Bird watchers and train enthusiasts enjoy this location equally as it is situated near the Ffestiniog Railway station where steam trains cross the wet lands that attract so many migrant and domestic wild fowl including an Osprey family. Porthmadog is an excellent all round location with sandy beaches and mountains so close at hand.

Guest Feedback:
BW (September 2023): 3.8 STARS "Learning from experience. Very nice apartment but totally unsuitable for a disabled person. This was our own fault as we didn't ask enough questions. This a new situation for us and we learnt a lot from the experience. We would like to come back next year but will have to find a more suitable apartment" Please always ring us to talk about a property. None have been specifically adapted for the disabled - but some could be more suitable then others. As our T&Cs says "Guests with Special Requirements. Where a single storey property may be suitable for guests who are less able. Note, that some may have some steps leading to the property or a single step inside the property. Please check details of suitability when you book, especially if wheelchair access is essential. We cannot guarantee suitability unless you include written confirmation about any special requirements (including dog hair allergies) with your booking."
JM (September 2023): 5 STARS "Relaxing break, lovely views and peaceful. Welcoming break and nice owners who paid us a visit to check on tv signal problems, lovely views of the harbour and friendly people and peaceful, have been twice before and will definitely rebook again"
CW (September 2023): 5 STARS "Wonderful. Where to start!!!! It was everything and more. Quiet, calming, beautiful and interesting views. Perfect - thank you so much"
JD (AUGUST 2023): 5 STARS "Cannot wait to return! Immaculately clean flat with just the most wonderful view of the harbour! The owners were a joy to meet along with the amazing service provided by the agent. We had such a lovely time, we did not wish to leave and went into the agents to see if we could extend our stay but some other lucky person had already booked in. Would highly recommend this apartment as the location is first class, combined with the practicality of the flat being in the ground floor and with car parking right outside the door. There is so much to see and do both on Porthmadog itself and also further afield either by foot or car. We will be looking to come back soon! Thank you to both the owners and the travel agents - a perfect holiday all round"
RC (July2023): 4.8 STARS "The flat was well designed, plenty of cupboard space, and had everything that you would need. It was comfortable, spotlessly clean and we had a welcome snack on arrival and nice touches where we were provided with a few basics, that were appreciated, especially as we forgot the odd item. The view from the lounge was outstanding and the site of the flat was excellent and close to all amenities. We would thoroughly recommend this accommodation"

Excellent view of the harbour from the flat. Brilliant location. Made a great base for trips out and sight seeing. Would definitely recommend and would stay again"
MM (September 2022): 4.7 STARS "Suited our needs perfectly. Due to my wifes ill health we needed to get away while our bathroom was being changed to make it nice and easy for her. So we headed to Porthmadoc and stayed at this lovely little ground floor flat which looks out over the harbour. It was clean, tidy just perfect for my wifes needs. We spent most of our time at the flat watching the comings and goings of the traffic in the harbour and all the different birds that come to feed in and out of the water. We also had a cheeky robin which used to come up to the large patio windows and looked in to see where his titbits were? Also just a 100 yards up the road there is the station, where the steam trains are in and out all day, and lots of eating and watering holes within easy walking distance. If I am going to be picky the one downside is that the shower is a bit snug. Otherwise it was just what the doctor ordered"
DJ (September 2022): 4.7 STARS "Room with a view. Within easy walk off the centre of Porthmadog. Great harbour views. So close to terminus of Ffestiniog Railway."
KM (August 2022): 4.8 STARS "Very good. The only slight criticism I have is that the bed was too hard. Everything else was absolutely fine and thoroughly enjoyed our stay"
LF (June 2022): 4.5 STARS "Lovely harbourside stay. We have visited Porthmadog before, and this time chose this harbourside ground floor apartment. Whilst compact in size, it contained everything we needed for a great stay. A parking space outside the front door, and brilliant views across the harbour from the back patio doors. The flat is part of a unit of six, with external stair access to the other flats above"

What a lovely apartment, nice views across the harbour. It was immaculately clean, comfortable and relaxing to stay at. We will be back.
As above but will add that the location is most advantageous for the Town Centre , Railway and shops.
Loverly welcome cakes, tea and coffee, well equipped accommodation that’s extremely comfortable with fantastic views of the harbour.
Grate location within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants.
Plenty of good walks and Pet friendly

Within easy walk off the centre of Porthmadog. Great harbour views. So close to terminus of Ffestiniog Railway.
The only slight criticism I have is that the bed was too hard. Everything else was absolutely fine and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Only drawback was very loud television next door.
