“We have stayed at Oakfield previously and are always wowed by the location and views.”

Just park your car up and enjoy walking everywhere for the week. Easy to walk into Porthmadog and to numerous beaches even with a 4 year old. Good facilities, kitchen equipment and a nice new shower. ...

Just park your car up and enjoy walking everywhere for the week. Easy to walk into Porthmadog and to numerous beaches even with a 4 year old. Good facilities, kitchen equipment and a nice new shower. On arrival the house had numerous large and dusty cobwebs , I know that there had been at least 2 families in before us after COVID lockdown. The dishwasher also needed a good clean and needs a run with a dish washer cleaner. There were shards of glass in the hall from the last occupants which I had to pick up ( they appeared to have broken wine glasses as they were stacked in the recycling box) . However I did find it gross to find a used contact lenses on the bedside cabinet especially as I would of thought that the cleaning regime had been stepped up due to Covid19. So fab holiday but cleaning of property does need more attention.

“So the place was in a great location and the space available was great for the number of people, with the extra living room giving that extra space to relax properly.”

Nice art work on the walls. Great location for walks and going down to the sea, even with a little child. The facilities were adequate, bathroom light didn't work but we called the handyman who fixed it the next day. Couldn't find a grill pan but otherwise everything you needed was there. The Moorings restaurant was lovely but you have to book in advance. Now the bad bits - don't go if you have asthma or eczema that is made worse by damp houses or dogs. The house smells damp and even with opening all the windows that didn't go. The house says no pets but we think there have been dogs in at some point, with the allergens still around. Unfortunately this meant my husband had a very uncomfortable stay. So if you have no allergies it's a lovely place but if you do be careful.

“Booked at short notice for family and friends it was the only property available in the area to sleep seven but turned out to be ideal.”

Comfortable and homely with everything that was needed, although another bathroom would have been ideal that won't prevent another booking next year! Thank you

“The bedding was nice and clean and beds made up for our arrival.”

There was only one proper wardrobe, in the twin was a metal one with material round it. The other two bedrooms had hooks with coathangers. The main problem, was the floors were not as clean as I would expect with dead flies round the edge of the carpets and cobwebs on the ceiling. The vacuum was full but there were no replacement bags.Although advertised with a dvd player there was not one.
“Cottage was excellent , very clean and welcoming .”

Heating was on which was an added bonus after our journey over to the Llyn Peninsula. Kitchen which very well equipped which was great as my husband loves to cook on holiday. The hamper was beautiful and well received.
“Loved the cottage - loads of character; lovely furniture; extremely well supplied.”

The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway, where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.

Note: The garden is semi-enclosed. There are steps to the front and rear garden and children and the elderly need to be cautious and not left unaccompanied.
