    “Gorgeous little apartment in a beautiful spot, overlooking the port.”

Also we couldn't get the WiFi working from the end of the first day. I tried everything in the book. And the general signal was so bad every time I tried to call sykes they couldn't hear me. It wasn't the end of the world but did mean we had a couple of disgruntled teenagers! Overall we were happy with the ...

    Was spacious enough for our family of 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a little dog. I hadn't realised there was no freezer so thought worth mentioning that here for any potential bookings. Also we couldn't get the WiFi working from the end of the first day. I tried everything in the book. And the general signal was so bad every time I tried to call sykes they couldn't hear me. It wasn't the end of the world but did mean we had a couple of disgruntled teenagers! Overall we were happy with the accommodation which was in a very good location, close to the main Porthmadog high street with lots of shops, pubs, restaurants and takeaways. Close drive to the beach too.

The property

Dros Y Dwr is an agreeable first-floor duplex apartment situated near the serene Afon Glaslyn in Porthmadog, Gwynedd.

Just moments from Borth-y-Gest Beach and a short drive to Eryri National Park, this delightful retreat offers allocated parking for one car, welcomes pets, and boasts views of the harbour from the balcony, making it perfect for families or groups of friends.

Upon entering the apartment, you'll be greeted by the calming coastal tones that adorn the open-plan living area.

This space is home to a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing home-cooked meals, and a breakfast bar with seating for four guests, ideal for enjoying those meals together.

The sitting room, complete with a TV, provides a warm spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

Step out onto the balcony from here, where you can enjoy the lovely views of the harbour while sipping your morning coffee or a chilled beverage as the sun sets.

As the day draws to a close, retreat to one of the two bedrooms available.

Choose from a double room on the second floor or a twin room on the first floor, both boasting nice views and decorated with soothing blue furnishings that echo the coastal theme.

A sleek shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, serves these rooms, offering a refreshing space to prepare for the day ahead.

Round off your days with an excursion to the whimsical village of Portmeirion, heavily influenced by Mediterranean design, offering a magical backdrop for a family day out.

The rich history of the area beckons you to the imposing medieval fortress of Castell Harlech, where you can immerse yourself in the tales of Welsh princes and battlegrounds of yore.

For a truly unique perspective of the region, embark on a journey with Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, taking you through the heart of the Snowdonia National Park while the breathtaking views unfold from your vintage carriage window.

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 Caernarfon. 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 Llyn Peninsula.
