Guest Feedback:
MG (September 2023): 4.3 STARS "Short stay. Not the standard that we have had at other properties on this complex. Overall cleanliness could have been better. Kitchen area should have been checked better as crumbs on floor & soon pot's" Thanks for the Review, which have been passed on to the Property Owner and his Deputy. Please report issues as soon as you can, as we can often get things sorted quickly - such as getting the Deputy back to the property.
KH (September 2023): 4.7 STARS "Lovely place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely little flat. It is exactly as described: comfortable, we'll equipped and in good order. It is small but the location is superb, close to the shops, restaurants, heritage railways etc yet with a view to die for, and very quiet. The only sounds you hear are seabirds and the occasional steam engine!"
IS (August 2023): "Perfect location and accommodation with a warm, friendly welcome. Excellent accommodation for two people located on Porthmadog Harbour Wharf overlooking the beautiful Glaslyn estuary with views of the coming and goings of the famous steam trains. Accommodation facilities were first-class and 'value-for-money' in these trying times. The customer service from STS Holidays was also first-class. Porthmadog is a welcoming working seaside town with excellent shops, cafes, restaurants and drinking holes and the local people a friendly and warm-welcoming. It also provides an excellent base to visit other areas of interest within North Wales"
ER (July 2023): 3.7 STARS "Great view, great location, but apartment is not that good value as no wi-fi, old small tv, uncomfortable mattress on bed" Thanks for the Review - which are always passed on to the Property Owner. Note that we say in the Description "Wi-Fi: No.". However, due to this feedback we have now asked the if the owner of the apartment could try and get wi-fi installed at the apartment for future guests.
SD (June 2023): 4.3 STARS "Fabulous Views. A lovely apartment with great views over The Cob and the estuary. Near to the town and Ffestiniog Railway. It’s on the second floor so quite a few steps to climb up to it. Kept us fit! Small but comfortable lounge/kitchen. No washing machine or dishwasher and no internet. We had a lovely stay and it was perfect for just the two of us"
LP (June 2023): 4.8 STARS "Lovely apartment with scenic views. Lovely and comfortable 1 bed apartment, with everything you need. Great location to explore other towns nearby, along with fabulous views of the coastline and Ffestiniog railway line/Porthmadog Harbour station"
GW (May 2023): 4.8 STARS "Wonderful. The apartment was exceptionally clean. The fitted furniture in kitchen, bathroom and bedroom was very good quality and well designed giving plenty of storage. The view from the balcony is stupendous! Our only criticism is the precariousness of the breakfast bar which, being a tight squeeze with the other furniture, was free-standing and very narrow"
HW (October 2022): "A well equipped, small apartment in a lovely and convenient location within walking distance of the town centre. The apartment was clean and tidy"
VM (October 2022): 4.8 STARS "Would like to return. We loved everything about the apartment - the views of the estuary, location, parking, layout & lots of storage space. The only comment I would make is that the decor & carpets looked a bit jaded, possibly because it was the end of the season. However, we would be very happy to return to the same apartment & would highly recommend it to others" Thanks for the Feedback - which is passed on to the Property Owner.
YB (August 2022): 4.2 STARS "A peaceful break. The location of this property is excellent, being able to look out over the estuary views was the main reason for booking this property. It is adequate for two adults and we enjoyed our five days there. It was very peaceful. A few things to raise about the apartment itself….The kitchenette and bathroom were clean and fairly new and the lounge furniture comfortable. Unfortunately on entering the property there is a strong stale smell which I feel probably comes from the carpets throughout, the property would probably benefit from having wooden floors which would overcome this issue as can be cleaned thoroughly between lettings. The plastic chairs on the balcony need replacing with something a little sturdier. The stairs to the entrance could do with being swept too and instructions re rubbish disposal needs updating in the handbook, the black bins are apparently no longer used as there is central rubbish and recycling centre within the complex,, the black bin assigned to this property was overflowing so we emptied it ourselves" Thanks for the Feedback - passed to the Property Owner for their attention.
JD-S (August 2022): "Beautiful balcony views. Well situated and equipped apartment, ideal base for us as couple, to explore the area.High standard of furniture and crockery etc, with everything that could be needed on the kitchen. Balcony gets the sun until early evening, perfect for relaxing and watching the estuary tides."
KH (July 2022): 4.3 STARS "Stunning views from the 2nd floor flat, need to be fit to climb up the concrete steps though. All the woodwork needs re-painting/re-freshing. The lourvers on the wardrobes are a dust magnet. Great location for exploring North Wales/ Snowdownia."
IN (July 2022): 4.8 STARS "What a fabulous apartment! The views are just terrific. The apartment was clean and well equipped with everything we needed."
LS 02 Jul 2022: 4.5 STARS:"Absolutely beautiful location, the views are stunning. Perfect base for exploring the area, or alternatively just sitting on the balcony and watching the ever changing picture unfold in front of your eyes"
AB (June 2022): "Had a great holiday , the 2nd time in this apartment and we had wonderful weather. The weather brought out the local lads girls after school in the water by the apartments there language was awful and spoilt sitting out."
JW (June 2022): 4.2 STARS "The apartment at Porthmadog was adequate a bit small but comfortable, there was everything you required except a baking tray for the oven. The shower wasn't as clean as it could have been there was and still is hair in the shower trap. There is also an unpleasant musty smell as you enter the apartment."
RW (May 2022): "Had a lovely Holiday splendid views weather ok decking chairs getting ready for replacing we have been coming to Porthmadog for quite a number of years always find it very friendly love the views"
JG (May 2022): 4 STARS "Good location, lovely views. Enjoyed the stay in this apartment, very quiet with great views. However, the chairs on the balcony are well passed their 'sell by date' and need replacing, otherwise a nice little apartment, cosy and compact just for two"
Mr E (Aug 2020): "Excellent service handled brilliantly by really friendly and helpful staff, booking a super apartment and mindful of the Covid precautions at the time. Will definitely book again with STS!"
Mr B: "Great location overlooking estuary. Well appointed flat, even though small. Ideal to be so close to the railway station"
