“We had a wonderful stay at Aber Wharf.”

It exceeded our expectations. The property is modern, spacious and lets in lots of light, even on the duller days. It's extremely well equipped; if so inclined, you could make a full meal at the property. The beds are comfortable and the linen is clean and fresh.

The views from the balcony overlook the estuary so you have a wonderful view of the Ffestiniog Railway trains as well as the little egrets and oystercatchers that frequent the area. We would certainly return in the future.

“Excellent layout with everything you would need for a relaxing stay.”

The location of the property is about as good as you can get for all the facilities of Porthmadog, in particular the railway which we took advantage twice during the week.

“Aber Wharf is perfectly situated with the Ffestiniog and Welsh mountain railway on the doorstep.”

Portmeirion is a short driveway as well as Harlech Castle and beach. Porthmadog itself has good shops and facilities and everyone met were friendly and helpful. The property has a lovely view from the balcony and the kitchen is well equipped. Unfortunately there was an unpleasant musty/damp smell in the bedroom nearest the car park and no room for a wardrobe. Car parking was ok, but South Snowden Wharf itself is a little run down.

“Aber Wharf is extremely well equipped with an idyllic outlook.”

Ideally positioned for discovering North Wales. We loved our stay. Many Thanks

“Great property in a location we have been to many times.”

Amazing walks and plenty to do even though the weather wasn’t so great. Would recommend and go again. A little more expensive than other flats in the area but very well equipped, clean and with a good kitchen explains the price.

“Lovely charming property.”

The wide angled lens used to take the photos is deceptive. The bedrooms are pretty small and the double bed is tiny. However when it comes to the balcony the photos simply don’t do it justice. It’s GORGEOUS. It’s bigger than the photos. The four of us often sat out there. The view is uninterrupted beauty. I will miss it. The small double bed was worth it just for the balcony. Overall a lovely property in a prime location. Lovely community of neighbours as well.

“The reason why we've put met expectations is because the description of the property was very good.”

We arrived at the property and were delighted to find it was exactly as described. We shall go there again.

Well equipped kitchen. Good location.

“The house was immaculate and it felt very clean and safe to stay there.”

It is in a great spot with fantastic views across the estuary - always something going on, on the water. Lovely and peaceful. Very handy for shops and food (will be much better once eating in restrictions are lifted this week in restaurants). Kitchen is beautifully done and well supplied apart from the tiny fridge - which made it difficult to buy in much and we would have preferred a king size bed but that's just what we're used to. Really enjoyed our stay and would definately recommend.

“Sparkling clean, comfortable and well equipped with thoughtful touches such as lamps, nest of tables and bedside torches.”

“Aber Wharf is a very well appointed property conveniently situated by the harbour and Ffestiniog Railway station.”

The view over the estuary from the first floor balcony provides a beautiful backdrop. This was our second visit - we’ll be back next year.

“Aber Wharf (no.”

13) was clean, comfortable and very well-appointed. It afforded the opportunity to relax and enjoy our stay with great views across the estuary. Its location in Snowdonia enabled easy access to areas and places of exceptional interest such as Snowdon and Portmeirion. We particularly enjoyed a visit to Beddgelert..

“Overall a perfect location and a well appointed house.”

Spotlessly clean and well furnished. Everything you could need. This would have achieved 5 stars if the bathroom was a bit bigger.

The property

Built in the 1960s, Aber Wharf holiday house has been refurbished to offer luxurious comfort but compact with a modern retro style.

Its first-floor living space makes the most of the stunning views over the estuary towards the mountains, and the open plan layout makes this a very sociable house to holiday in.

From the sitting room, a large sliding door opens onto a small balcony overlooking the estuary.

Peaceful and relaxing, it has seats for you to enjoy a glass of wine while you soak up the view at the end of a busy day exploring.

A stylish, contemporary bathroom and the finest Egyptian cotton bed linen add a sense of luxury and elegance. Aber Wharf has its own parking, so you can leave your car and explore the area by foot if you wish.

Porthmadog has everything you will need - a large supermarket for your weekly groceries, a good selection of quirky shops, restaurants and cafes, and Kerfoots department store where you'll find things you didn't know you needed, but you just have to have!

Home to the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railways,take a ride on the Ffestiniog steam railway or hop aboard a Sherpa bus to the foot of Snowdon or explore the delights of both Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula easily.

This is a lovely house in a gated community in the heart of Porthmadog.

A great holiday home!

About the location

PORTHMADOG

Harlech 5 miles; Caernarfon 19 miles.

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 and the Welsh Highland railway where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog or Caerforn . 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. Also within reach is the famous Zip World Slate Caverns and Bounce Below where you can get involved with a variety of activities including the thrilling zip wires and underground caverns to explore; there is something here to suit the whole family. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.
