Guest Comments:
BC (March 2024): 3.7 STARS "Good location but a bit small for 4. Good location and well equipped kitchen. However 2 very small sofas, not really suitable for 4 adults. Only 2 outside chairs as well. Double bed comfy but singles a bit creaky. Small TV for the size of the room. Possibly ideal for 2 adults and 2 children" Thanks for the Feedback - which are always passed on to Property Owners.
CK (October 2023): "Really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was ideally situated for everything and was clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen which had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend."

RFH (July 2023): 4.8 STARS "Ideal apartment for four people. Our fifth successive visit says it all. Cannot fault the accommodation"
AR (July 2023): "Perfect for our family get together. The best thing was the fabulous service from the management team. The toilet faucet flushing function needs replacing. It would have been nice to have a clothes washer but you never said there was a clothes washer there. We loved being there"
JR (June 2023): "Lovely Weeks Holiday. Pleasantly surprised by the standard of the accommodation. All nicely appointed and well equipped. The only suggestion I would make is it would be more comfortable if there was a small bistro table and chair set on the balcony so you would be able to eat outside when the weather is nice as it gets the evening sun. Altogether a wonderful week. Thank you" Thanks for the Review - which are always passed on to the Property Owner.

Our 6th year at Snowdon Wharf, the 1st with a dog, so thank you for allowing a pet into your home. The weather was amazing (the best ever) so we enjoyed a lovely walk from Tan y Bwlch to Penrhyn beach (traeth bach) to Morfa Bychan, an easy walk, Criccieth and Morfa Nefyn (the beach at the RNLI station was beautiful). Two trips to Coed y Brenin and messing about around Ballast Island completed our week. We will be back!"
