Top rate apartment in a perfect location.Our third visit but still finding plenty to do. The apartment is perfect for visiting the local area.Do not miss osprey watching at Glaslyn and Dyfi or the Dinorwig slate museum. Yr hen fecus is a delightful restaurant 5 minutes away. Beware Harlech castle has a tiny carpark and a very steep hill

Thank you so much for your 5* review! Really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the apartment and the location. There was a burst water pipe in the High St area of Porthmadog in December which did affect pressure at Oakley Wharf apartments, this may have been the cause of the issue.

Great area for birding and walks. Steam trains don’t do trips in November which was a shame.
Great little place in great location. Only downside is having to pay for electricity by using a £1 coin meter.
Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Nov 2021
Many thanks for your review. During the colder months the heating is needed more so the meter does require more money to be put in. However it is still running on 1990's cost of electricity - I have never adjusted it to reflect current costs, so it still only requires approximately half the money of what the power actually costs. In other words it is a contribution towards costs rather than covering them. Glad you enjoyed the bird-watching, there is plenty to see there!

Fantastic Stay
We had an amazing time at this lovely property. Emma gave me a call a few days before our arrival and explained all we needed to know plus recommendations. We loved the apartment.it was spotlessly clean and a very comfortable bed. We were only there for 2 days but we had everything we needed. Nice easy walk to into town and to Borth-y-gest. Lovely view from the apartment and was so relaxing just sitting and watching the boats come and go. Would definitely stay there again. Porthmadog is a great location and very near to Snowdon and nearby villages. Thank you Emma for a lovely stay.

Amazing views and location
The property is in a central location for Porthmadog and the very pretty Borth-y Gest, both within easy walking distance. The views from the lounge are beautiful, we found it so relaxing and fascinating watching the wildlife and boats passing our window. Eating out was difficult to arrange, despite trying to book before we left home, but there was everything available to cater for ourselves at the property. .

Amazing apartment with stunning views
Wow what a beautiful apartment, fully furnished, home from home comforts with access to the harbour. The views are like a postcard, we loved crabbing off the harbour wall and relaxing taking in the stunning scenery. Difficult to eat out due to chef shortages, prebooking is a must!! Enjoyed two meals at the Ship Inn excellent pub food. Get to beaches early to secure a parking space. Favourite beach Harlech Beach amazing soft sand and great for boarding. Lovely for Emma to call before our stay to go through any questions and recommendations, really nice touch! Would definitely stay again. Thank you 😊

We had a lovely stay in Porthmadog, a central location for exploring North Wales. The apartment was as advertised, Spotlessly clean and comfortable.

A great base to explore North Wales
We have just returned from an excellent week in Porthmadog, staying at this lovely apartment. It’s in a great location, just a short walk into town, to restaurants and the Ffestiniog Railway and within easy reach of the many attractions in this lovely part of Wales. The apartment itself felt like a real home from home. Spotlessly clean, super comfortable bed, excellent shower, Comfy and well equipped and, those views! Stunning! There’s a lot to do in the area and much we didn’t get to do. However we can definitely recommend a visit to the Glaslyn Osprey viewing centre and to Snowdonia Alpacas. Both close to Porthmadog and very enjoyable for all ages. Emma was very helpful before we left. Thank you Emma for your suggestions and for letting us enjoy your apartment. We know we’ll be back!

Dream property
Beside the harbour in Porthmadog. Great for less ambled persons as ground floor and a walk in shower. Beautifully kept. A bit worried about the £1 slots foe electricity. We put in far more than we needed. Comfortable beds. Open plan living. We watched the tide come in and out and the boats bobbing about. Some lovely birds. An egret. Plus others. We want to visit again very soon.

Idyllic location
Nothing but positives for this holiday apartment nestling in the picturesque harbour of Porthmadog. In addition to spotless accommodation, the added touches of local pictures on the walls, numerous books, maps and dvds gave it a very homely feel. Very comfortable bed, brand new shower and the use of patio set to enjoy the views was a bonus. With Portmeirrion a short drive away and a coastal path around Borth y Gest on the doorstep, you couldn't wish for anything more. Will definitely be going back - thank you Emma for sharing your stunning apartment.
