Harbour View
Description
Harbour View, a stunning first-floor apartment located above a surf shop in Abersoch, overlooks Harbour Beach.
The Llyn Peninsula's gorgeous coast is just a short drive away from this home's open-plan interior, which has been finished to a high degree.
A tan 3 and 2 seater sofa that can accommodate the entire family is situated in front of a Freeview TV in the living room awaits you once you have parked up and unloaded your bags with ease.
Once you pass through the archway, you'll find the kitchen, which is decked out in a colour scheme of mint, turquoise, and mocha.
Make plans for the adventures ahead while tucking into a delicious meal prepared by the foodie in your party.
Open the windows so you can take in the stunning beach views below from a higher vantage point.
Catch your rest in one of two bedrooms, the other is a twin room, which is ideal for children.
The shower area, which is tiled from head to toe, features a glass shower cubicle where you can rinse off after a day at the beach.
The patio of the apartment is a great place to relax and read a good book while basking in the sun.
You can rent a boat at Harbour Beach or continue along the coast to Abersoch Main Beach, where you can surf; the community also has numerous bars, two well-stocked convenience stores, and independent businesses for you to peruse.
It's possible to spend a day in Llanbedrog, where you may explore the headland, visit a polished art gallery housed in a historic building, and come upon a gorgeous beach adorned with colourful beach huts.
On your way to Pwllheli, stop at the Glan Don Beach Bar at Plas Heli for a drink and watch the sailing activities; cap the day with an evening stroll along Marian-y-de or Glan-y-Don Beach, respectively.
From Aberdaron to Criccieth, the Llyn Peninsula is home to a plethora of towns that are just waiting to be discovered.
Harbour View is a great option for a beach break with stunning views.

What guests are saying
The property is good, and it’s obvious the owners take pride in the apartment.
However, as visitors from Australia, we found the booking process cumbersome and unnecessarily onerous. Three separate payments well before arrival, numerous disclaimers and conditions, slow responses beyond the stated 24-hour timeframe, and even having to clarify separately whether tea towels were included in the linen all added to the frustration. Perhaps this is standard practice in the UK, but hopefully we can retain a more relaxed and less complicated approach in Australia!
The property was so clean, comfortable and well equipped.
Lovely views. The allocated parking space is a real treat in Abersoch! Ideal location, just a couple of minutes walk to shops and bars. This is an excellent property. Highly recommended!
Hello Michele So pleased you had an enjoyable and comfortable stay at Harbour View. The housekeeping and linen team do a fabulous job. Best wishes Paul & Carole
Disappointed there was no heating on on our arrival.
Kitchen fridge surrounding woodwork left on floor for some reason. New shower head is a joke provides a mist not a flow of water (Cost cutting I presume )
Hello Nigel The heating is WIFI controlled, over the last few weeks there have been power outages in the area. The WiFi control was set for heating to be on for your stay but regrettably was not operational. One of the neighbours has reset the controls. It’s happened again since! Our sincere apologies. Some guests booked, cancelled very last minute but then STAYED, they had massive argument, stormed off home and housekeeping reported the fridge damage. Those guests are being pursued! Kitchen fitter has been contacted and hopefully will repair the damage very shortly. Kitchen fitter has visited Harbour View and fridge and freezer now securely fixed into kitchen units (July 26). The new shower head is a power shower head and does work! We can only assume you didn’t have it on the right setting. No cost cutting at all! Wish you well. Paul and Carole
Apart from a power outage (which was beyond the owners control) the property was exactly as listed - clean and comfortable with a wonderful view
Hello Wendy, Regret, the power outage, it’s happening on a regular basis in other areas of Abersoch and the surroundings!!! You appear to have had a fabulous stay in Harbour View, Abersoch. Paul & Carole
A beautiful place to stay with amazing views to the harbour.
Light and bright and very comfy. The downside for us was that the shower head didn’t fit in the holder but besides that every was perfect and will definitely return when hopefully the shower head is fixed although it didn’t affect our enjoyment.
Hello Peter The shower head was recently changed to a “power head”. The fit in the holder is not perfect but generally it’s ok, apologies for any inconvenience. When next in Abersoch will see if anything can be done regarding the shower head. Good to hear you had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Harbour View, Abersoch. Paul & Carole
Great apartment in a great location overlooking the harbour.
Clean and comfortable with everything you need. We had a lovely autumn break with plenty of beach walks, cafés and pubs on the doorstep. Third time in this apartment and we will be back.
Hello Gary Very pleased to read that you had an enjoyable time in Harbour View! Third time visit and you will be back!! Best wishes, Paul & Carole
Great property and perfect location.
We have already booked it again
So pleased you had an enjoyable time in Abersoch. Location couldn’t be better! Very central and restaurants, pubs, shops, beach etc all within a few minutes walk. Paul & Carole
We really enjoyed our stay - the location couldn't be better - easy access to the beaches and surrounding area.
So clean, modern and comfortable
Hello Vivian, The location and views are fabulous. Pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Harbour View. Thanks for your feedback. Paul & Carole
We had an excellent stay.
The apartment was lovely with great views across Abersoch and was in a brilliant location right in the centre of town. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Hello Heather, It’s pleasing to hear you had a thoroughly enjoyable time at Harbour View. Agree, the views and location are “spot on”. Best wishes Paul & Carole
Shower water pressure very low.
Fridge door in need of adjustment. Couldn't get toaster to work but used the grill. Perhaps a Jcloth for washing up would be handy and 2 toilet rolls instead of 1. We did have a really really nice stay and the views are just amazing
Hello Shirley The shower water pressure is very good, can only assume that Welsh Water may have had issues during your stay. Fridge is awaiting the fitter to fix, still waiting! It was newly fitted August 2023. Don’t know why toaster not working, no issues have been reported to the agents previously. Whilst at HV have not experienced any problems with the toaster. As regards cleaning materials, if not under the sink, there are supplies in the outhouse, this is mentioned in the guest folder. Glad to hear you had an enjoyable time at Harbour View. Best wishes Paul & Carole
Beautiful view in the centre of Abersoch.
Apartment spotless, everything provided. Lovely helpful neighbours. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you
Hello Tracey So pleased you had an enjoyable time at Harbour View. Agree with you, a great location and views. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
We had a wonderful stay at Harbour View, the location was perfect.
The property was very clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The only issue we had was regulating the shower temperature, it was either boiling hot or freezing cold..
Hello Mrs G C So pleased you had a wonderful time staying at Harbour View. The shower is new, when at Harbour View I use the shower twice a day and haven’t encountered problems with regulating the temperature. Perhaps you were “over adjusting” the hot/cold temperature button. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
Have stayed at this property before a couple of times, everything you need is there, well equipped, and beautiful view, I would certainly recommend this property to family and friends, only disappoinment was that the en suite was not in use this time.
..not sure why because such a small bathroom in use could be an issue for some people but thanks.....
Hello Sandra Appears you had a pleasant break at Harbour View in Abersoch. Recommendations to family and friends is appreciated and thank you. We decided to close the en-suite as unfortunately guests were putting wipes and other similar items down the macerator WC which has caused issues. The shower cubicle door was not being properly closed when showering leading to damage to the flooring and under the shower tray. Further, we wanted somewhere to store personal items. We spoke with the agents and it was noted in the property details last May 2024 that the en-suite would be closing from 1st October 2024. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
Second time here.
Great apartment and great location right in the heart of Abersoch. Just the break we needed, plenty of long walks and pub lunches.
Hello Gary Very pleased you had an enjoyable break at Harbour View. Noted your second visit, no doubt looking forward to your third visit. Thank you Gary Paul & Carole
This property is in the perfect location.
It was very clean and had everything we needed. It is a great place to stay and we will be back. Thank you
Hello Ann I’m so pleased you had a fab break at Harbour View in Abersoch. It’s so pleasing to get a 5th view. New suite , new freezer, new fridge and new kitchen fronts, although we had short delivery of some parts! Paul & Carole
The outside need some TLC - gutters and paintwork etc.
The TV instructions are hopeless and extremely frustrating to sort out. The outside key system needs replacing. But regardless of all this, we love the situation and the apartment. This was our second visit and hopefully we will return.
Hello Elwyn We are aware of the external decoration. We (as in all 4 flats) have approached builders for quotes etc-not yet forthcoming!! You only give 25% for accuracy of the listing, it would be helpful to us if you would let us know where we fell short The TV instructions though frustrating are correct! Not aware anything wrong with the key system. There is an outside key safe similar to many other properties. Please let us or the agents know what the issue was. It’s a wonderful position, we feel so fortunate to have the apartment. Look forward to hearing that you will visit again. Best wishes Paul & Carole
It was a shame to see the lovely kitchen was not as pristine as it was, some doors and draws no longer match the rest of the kitchen, not a good look.
Dressing table in twin room has also been damaged, so sad. The main shower stopped working on Sunday night, we left a note for the cleaner so hopefully they will pass the information onto the manager/owner? We book this accommodation twice every year, so wondering if we should next year unless it will all be repaired up to a good standard?
Hi Nigel New kitchen cupboard doors etc were ordered June 24 with installation mid August 24. The goods etc were delivered short of certain items. Only recently have those items been made available and are being installed 23/24 October 24. A new fridge and freezer have also been installed. The dressing table in twin room has been damaged and has been patched. Will probably have to have a new top! The main shower has been fixed-a fuse! Thanks for leaving a note for the housekeeper. We will be visiting Harbour View 23/24 to check over the property and ensure the kitchen is fully installed. Should certainly be in shipshape post October 24!!! Best wishes Paul & Carole
Needs a shaver point.
Couldn't open one of the large windows. Large window frames and surround dirty.
Hello Geoff Unfortunately, no electric shaver point. Rechargeable/battery shavers appear to be the desired ones. All large windows open. The right hand lounge window has a bolt at the top and bottom-the mechanism had been removed pre our purchase. Surprised that the frames and surrounds were dirty. Will liaise with the housekeepers! Otherwise, trust you had an enjoyable stay. Best wishes Paul & Carole
Generally very good.
Comfortable with high standard fittings, chairs, beds, crockery, floors etc. Some aspects slightly worn, kitchen cabinet fronts, main bathroom fixture seals etc., but to be expected and not detrimental. Setting up the TV was a trial, but luckily we had our own firestick with us. Neighbours above slightly heavy on the floor. Opening the windows during the day necessary, but very noisy traffic from main busy road through Abersoch. Also occasional late night drunken youths took their time leaving the area. Again par for the course. Entrance and exit from car parking needs care, be aware of one way system. Overall, very happy.
Hello Peter, good to hear you had an enjoyable time in Abersoch. New kitchen cupboard doors etc and fridge and freezer were purchased in June and being installed/fitted mid August-solid oak! Also, the shower cubicle is to be resealed at the same time. Unfortunately, upstairs has wooden flooring, and at times it’s a bit noisy. Traffic and merry people, as you say, par for the course! Paul & Carole.
There were some black marks around the shower in ensuite but otherwise very clean.
Could have done with a wine bottle stopper and espresso coffee cups but I think you provided everything else that we needed and more 2nd visit at this time of year and would love to return to the property again. Amazing views overlooking the harbour and fantastic central village location.
Hello Sally, Not sure what the black marks were in the ensuite. Possibly the seal discoloured. Our housekeeper does a fantastic job so assume as mentioned. The ensuite will be no longer as from 1st October 2024. Problem being the shower door is not firmly closed when shower is used and the flooring needs maintenance. Wine bottle stoppers unfortunately walk! We are constantly replacing them when we visit Abersoch. No expresso coffee cups-we don’t have an expresso coffee machine. We love the views and location, very convenient for the village-especially the pubs and restaurants. So pleased you had an enjoyable break at Harbour View. Paul & Carole
We had a lovely 3 day break on a late booking in March and loved the place.
Accommodation was great with views across the harbour. We managed a few beach walks and even a few hours sea fishing off the jetty.
Hello Gary Great to hear you had a fab time in Abersoch. Did you catch much whilst fishing from the harbour jetty? Best wishes, Paul & Carole
The apartment was spotlessly clean with everything needed for a relaxing break.
It is perfectly located for all the amenities in the village. I wouldn’t hesitate booking again.
Hello Lisa, Good to hear you had a relaxing break. It would be helpful for us if you could let us know where you feel facilities were lacking. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
This was our second time here - we stayed the same weekend last year and re-booked as we enjoyed it so much.
However, sadly we won't be returning as the cost has increased so much for 2025 - and my husband and I only use the apartment as a base - no cooking other than tea and toast at breakfast!
Hello Ivan Sorry to hear you won’t be returning due to costs. The council introduced stringent occupancy rules which resulted in an increase of council tax by £7,500! We have tried to keep price increases to a minimum, but the councils are killing this industry. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
Lovely property stayed here before only fault when we arrived family with young children above running around screaming from 6.
30 am. Luckily they left on the Sunday afternoon so the remainder of the stay was peaceful.
Hello Amanda, Unfortunately, kids will be kids! Regret, not a lot can be done about this, however they left Sunday. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
Property immaculate and tastefully designed.
Superb views of estuary and ideally situated near to Abersoch centre.
Hello Elwyn, Pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Harbour View. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
Ideally located near all facilities and with the best possible view of the harbour aided by two large double windows in dining and sitting areas.
Well equipped with some very nice items, comfortable beds and a parking space which is a big plus in Abersoch. The weather was good but with the views it would be a nice place to stay even in bad weather.
Hi John Sounds like you had a great relaxing time in Abersoch. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
This was our second visit to Harbour view.
New sofas were lovely and providing towels are a great improvement. Weather not as great as last year so we took opportunity to explore a bit more outside Abersoch. We love how dog friendly everywhere was, Harbour beach is our favourite as our dog had freedom to run around. Also the convenience of shops/restaurants literally a minute walk from the apartment. New places we ate at this year were The potted Lobster, be warned had to book 4 weeks in advance though, and the Lost sheep which is great for steaks. Overall if you want a holiday were you can just chill out and watch the world go by or love beaches and mountains, this area of North Wales has it all. We have booked again for next year, even though it took us 8 hours to drive here. PS. note for owner, my husband has requested if you could supply beer pint glasses - thank you
Hi Rachel Good to hear you had an enjoyable time in Abersoch. Beer pint glasses are now included!! Best wishes, Paul and Carole
Second time at Harbour view.
love the location near beaches,pubs and restaurants. New suite is a big upgrade. TV control was difficult to work out and needed new batteries, but that's a minor niggle.
Hello John, The new sofas are going well, we find them very comfortable. TV control instructions now included in the welcome pack. Spare batteries for remotes are kept in the sideboard draws. Best wishes Paul & Carole
We have stayed here many times and loved it.
This last time we found the new sofa uncomfortable - bring back the old one!! Also had problems with getting tv channels. That said - still lovely & would recommend.
Hello Sharon Great to hear you had a fabulous time at Harbour View in Abersoch. TV instructions are now in the welcome pack. I’m sure you will get used to the new sofas. Best wishes, Paul & Carole
This is probably our favourite holiday home ever.
It has a super king bed (with no footboards-a necessity with tall people), PLUS a comfy NEW sofa! Sooo many sofas are old and uncomfortable and this was a bit of a worry from the pictures - bad backs and old sofas don’t go - the new sofas are comfy - lovely after a day out. Great views, well equipped and quiet. The website needs updating as towels are now provided. A great property find!
Hello Mark Glad you had a fantastic time in Abersoch. The cream L shaped couch has been replaced by a 2&3 seater leather sofas-very comfortable! The website has been updated regardless the provision of towels. Paul & Carole
Excellent apartment.
Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Right in the middle of Abersoch and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Absolutely recommend!
Hello Micheal Sounds like you had an enjoyable break in Abersoch. We looking forward to staying there in June, can’t wait! Paul & Carole
Fabulous apartment, will hopefully stop there again as we like to visit Abersoch every year.
Hello Nige So pleased to hear you had a wonderful time in Abersoch. We enjoy the convenience of the village, beaches and surrounding areas. Paul & Carole
We had a lovely long weekend break, the apartment and location was excellent, so much so that while their we booked for the same time next year.
Hi Ivan Pleased that you had a great long weekend break at Harbour View. We are presently having a mid week break at HV, peaceful and relaxing. Paul & Carole
An absolutely beautiful place to stay, high quality and small touches made it special.
Position looking over harbour exceptional for viewing wildlife. Great time of year to visit. Looking forward to revisiting next year.
Hello Lynn Great to hear that you enjoyed your break at Harbour View in Abersoch. We enjoy being there at this time of the year. Best wishes Paul & Carole
Excellent property in a great location.
Well furnished and kitted out. Very comfortable.
Hello Noel So pleased that you enjoyed your time at Harbour. Paul & Carole
The property was exactly as described and was spotless when I arrived.
Access was easy following the instructions. I would definitely stay there again.
Hi Brian So pleased you enjoyed your stay in Abersoch Paul & Carole
What a wonderful property.
We loved our stay. It exceeded expectations in every way.
Hi Deborah Good to hear you had an enjoyable, comfortable stay In Abersoch Was a pleasure to meet you. Paul &. Carole
Just returned from a lovely week in Abersoch.
Apartment was amazing, better then the pictures on the website! really spacious, beds really comfortable and view from windows was fantastic. Minute walk from shops and pubs. We took our dog and found apartment very dog friendly, he loved his walks along Harbour beach everyday. Most pubs, restaurants and even shops accepted dogs as well which was great. Parking space was very convenient. We have booked again for next year and can't wait to come back :)
Hello Rachel So pleased you had a wonderful week at Harbour View, Abersoch. I note you had a slight issue (feedback) with regard to comfort. I’m guessing it may be the L shaped sofa. 2 sofas, a 3 & 2 seater have been purchased for delivery September/October . If not the case then please advise. I note you have booked for July 23, enjoy. Paul
Excellent property in fabulous central location.
The owner has thought of everything you could possibly need.we have booked for next year already.George Foreman grill saves faffing about with the oven. Only gripe is some of the information is out of date. Bin's put out Tuesday evenings not Saturday as per the 2015 notice on the inside of the kitchen cupboard door. Contradictory info on leaving the bedding. Small niggles as we loved the place. We have stayed in many apartments around the country and this is up there with the best. Credit to the owner.
Hello John The information is (belatedly) being updated, my apologies. The bedding company organise and dictate action to be taken. If you let me know the issue then I can resolve with the bedding providers. Thank you for pointing this out. We like the George Foreman and use it regularly when we at HV!! Sounds like you had an enjoyable time. Paul
the property was immaculate and had everything you could need.
we are going back in September. It was one of the best holidays we have had, the apartment is in such a great location, fabulous views with parking for your car.
Hello Pamela So pleased you had an enjoyable time in Abersoch. No doubt your September break will be similarly fabulous. Have fun Paul & Carole Paul
Great location overlooking the harbour and 1 minute walk to shops and restaurants.
Well fitted kitchen with appliances. The bed is huge and the ensuite is a welcome addition. My only real criticism is the sofa. Really low and I struggled to get comfy and to get on and off. Otherwise great accommodation.
Hello Kay Thank for your note about the sofa. I too find it low and hence a 3 & a 2 seater sofa are arriving in September 2022. 3/4 months delivery time. Otherwise, I hope you had an enjoyable time in Abersoch. Best wishes, Paul
Lovely apartment!
The only thing was the listing said towels provided - we would have taken some if we knew they would not be any provided.
Hi Christine Hope you enjoyed your time at Harbour View. We haven’t provided towels for over 4 years (as they were pinched!) I have just checked the listing and it does state towels Not provided. Best wishes, Paul Best
This is our 2nd visit to Harbour view.
Its a lovely property & in an ideal location. Our only comment would be that the leather corner unit has very low backs & is just really uncomfortable. Maybe just two 2 seater higher back settees would be better. Apart from thats,everythings really good.
Hello Jean, Sounds like you had a great time in Abersoch. A 3 seater and 2 seater sofas are arriving in September 2022 (delivery 3/4 months). I too now find the leather corner unit somewhat low. Best wishes, Paul
We loved the apartment and would rate it highly for location and value for money.
It’s a very comfortable apartment that was pretty much as advertised. We would return if we ever needed to stay in Abersoch. If the hosts supplied towels we would have given them 10 out of 10, as it was slightly annoying to being our own.
Hello Hugo We did supply towels a few years ago, unfortunately they were constantly “disappearing “ Otherwise, I hope you had an enjoyable time at Harbour View Best wishes, Paul
The apartment was amazing, it was very well equipped, beautifully decorated and spacious and in a perfect location.
The only thing I would mention is to get a better smart tv in the lounge and we had problems with the DVD player not working properly, but that was minor we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Thank you.
Hello Tracy, Good to hear you had a great time staying in Harbour View, Abersoch. The 37 inch tv has been replaced with a 47 inch LG smart tv. Our electrician has checked the DVD player and is now fully operational. Best wishes, Paul
The property is very well equipped (I've never seen one so well equipped) and was very clean.
My only minor quibbles were - the TV in the sitting room could have been newer/bigger but was adequate. The sofa was big but not terribly comfortable (we kept sliding off it) and the en-suite shower room was a bit cramped. We couldn't keep the shower door tightly shut so a lot of water ended up on the en-suite floor. We only used it the once because of that. These are minor points, the accommodation overall was excellent.
Hello Stephen Sounds like you had a fab time in Abersoch. Thanks for your comments and see below. The 37 inch tv has been replaced with a 47 inch LG smart tv. A 3 and 2 seater sofas are arriving in September 2022 (3/4 months delivery) The en-suite shower door need a firm “pull” and clicks when fully closed. Best wishes Paul
Beautiful apartment, in a great central spot.
I had a great stay over Christmas. The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch. Thank you so much, would love to stay again. :)
Hello Claire It’s great to hear you had a wonderful time at Harbour View. You are welcome to return to Harbour View Best wishes Paul
Excellent comfortable well equipped accommodation.
Hello Haydn Great to hear you had a good stay at Harbour View Best wishes Paul
The lovely bog sofa is far too low for the over 60’s
Hello Caroline You will be pleased to note new 3 & 2 seater sofas arrive in September 2022 (delivery 3/4 months) Otherwise, it appears you had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Harbour View Best wishes Paul
Just nothing to fault the apartment.
The location is breathtaking, hopefully returning in the spring.
Hello Stephen Look forward to you returning to Harbour View New 3 & 2 seater sofas arrive in September 2022 The 37 inch tv has been replaced by a 47 inch LG smart tv Sounds like you had a great stay at Harbour View Best wishes Paul
Our stay at Harbour View was very enjoyable the apartment is in a fabulous position and we enjoyed Abersoch to the max. Your customer service was excellent and we were very comfortable
