Description

Harbourside is a stylish ground-floor apartment resting in the harbour town of Porthmadog, Gwynedd, enjoying far-reaching views across the water with the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park forming a striking backdrop. Well suited to couples seeking a romantic coastal escape, this single-storey retreat offers an excellent base for exploring North Wales.

Step into the open-plan living space, where the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area come together to create an inviting social hub. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing home-cooked meals, while the dining table provides a welcoming spot to enjoy relaxed suppers as the light fades over the harbour. After a day by the sea or exploring the surrounding countryside, unwind in the sitting area and enjoy the ever-changing harbour views.

The bedroom comprises a super-king-size bed, which can be made up as a twin on request, offering flexibility for different guest arrangements. Served by a well-appointed ground-floor shower room with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, the apartment is thoughtfully laid out for ease and convenience throughout your stay.

Outside, guests have access to a communal non-enclosed lawn and patio with furniture, an ideal place to sit with a morning coffee while taking in the seaside setting.

A shop and pub are within easy walking distance, while the harbour is moments away and the beach just over a mile from the apartment. Porthmadog offers a gateway to nearby towns such as Criccieth, Harlech, and Beddgelert, while attractions including Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, and scenic coastal walks provide plenty to discover during your stay.

Harbourside is a delightful coastal bolthole in Gwynedd, combining a sought-after harbour setting with excellent access to both the sea and the mountains.

This is a perfectly positioned apartment with an amazing view across the harbour.

The apartment is spotless and well equipped and really quiet. We could walk out and within 10 minutes were either at shops or pubs/restaurants. We will definitely be returning.

The apartment was clean and comfortable.

The view is really lovely and it is so close to town but still quiet and peaceful. Well equipped kitchen and lots of nice touches throughout, it is one of the best stays we have had in Porthmadog and plan to stay again in future.

Patio doors from this one bed apartment open directly onto a small patio overlooking the harbour which is which is fabulous.

However inside the apartment not so fabulous. The curtains in the lounge were coming away from the curtain tape, probably caused by the fact the curtains wouldn’t slide easily on the track and kept getting jammed everytime they were opened or closed. Other than the patio doors there is only one other opening window in the bedroom which was locked and no key to open it, so no ventilation at night. We were very grateful to the lady who came to check if we were ok and brought us a couple of fans. Think she was a friend of the owner. She didn’t know where the key was. Insufficient crockery in the kitchen meant the dishwasher had to go on each night. No corkscrew, only 3 glass tumblers. The others are plastic!! Work needs to be done in the bathroom. Nowhere to hang towels, clothes or leave your wash bag. Everything had to go on the floor. A couple of hooks and shelves would sort this. The sealant around the floor tiles looked like it hadn’t been smoothed out when first done and was dirty and discoloured. Mould in the corner of the shower. It would not take a lot to transform this apartment and make it into a much nicer holiday rental. We wouldn’t go back

Owner response:

Very disappointed with this review but we are always grateful for feedback. This was the hottest week in UK history and many properties and guests struggled with it. The key for the window had gone missing along with the corkscrew. The window now has a replacement lock and key. There is now a corkscrew. The lady who called was in fact the housekeeper and cleaner doing her usual job of looking after our guests and she went out and purchased two fans for you, one for the bedroom and one for the lounge. This is the first negative review for this property but we have accepted the comments and already made changes. The curtains have been replaced which had been broken by previous clients along with the missing corkscrew. The plastic glasses are for outside use and clearly we have had some breakage or missing glasses and these have now been topped up. Work will be done on the bathroom at the next changeover, we have already put in a towel rail and shelf. We are truly sorry you have had cause to complain and that your stay was not as enjoyable as you would have liked.
