Wenallt

Simply fabulous!

Our Fifth trip to stay in this wonderful house.

The panoramic view from the house of the harbour Ffestiniog railway and beyond to the mountains is the best I’ve seen in the Uk. Step inside to this beautiful practical home, the house has a curated feel, but is also incredibly comfortable from the well equipped kitchen, to the bedding and mattresses. There’s a reason we keep returning! The owner is attentive and helpful and clearly loves the house too. There was a (tiny) issue which I reported and was fixed as soon as someone was available at 9 the next morning. We are returning this Autumn to celebrate my husbands birthday and we are very much looking forward to that. We know the house is warm and cosy in the colder days too. Much recommended

The location is perfect, the views from every room overlooking Porthmadog stunning and beautiful free parking outside, short walk to harbour and town center, what’s not to like?

Step inside to find out. Lovely welcome letter from the owner together with fizz and chocolate, basic food bread & milk etc and thought full touch of fresh flowers. All of the above does not compare to or negate the actual lack of care and maintenance or love of this fine old period house. We are assured that the “trusted cleaners “ would have prepared the house for our weeks stay instead dust and cobwebs can be found in plain sight every where , cupboards full of unhealthy junk, dubious smells from toilets and bathrooms Cracks in kitchen floors and unsealed work surfaces add to a negative lack of maintenance. What a shame and disappointment because with a little effort and investment this could be a wonderful place to stay and return to which for the reasons mentioned and many more not , we won’t and cannot recommend others to do so.

A lovely old property with amazing views over the harbour.

Lots of trinkets in the house and a very steep garden so not ideal for families with very young children but we had a really good holiday in this beautiful location. The house is in a wonderful location with many beaches easily reached. Also it is only a short walk into Porthmadog which was very convenient for us as we were visiting relatives who live locally.

The property was very comfortable and lots of amenities.

Would have been good if the front garden was tidier and had seating Overall great accommodation

It was a lovely break, the cottage was great, and we loved the garden and views!

Fantastic location for 2 adults and 4 teenagers - close to the beach and shops. Great memories- Thanks for everything!

This was our second stay in the lovely Wenallt.

The superb house is full of history, beautiful books and paintings, with its stunning view of Porthmadog Harbour and Eryri. With all the mod-cons you need for a perfect stay - comfortable beds, a super power-shower, a fully-equipped kitchen and a beautiful wild-flower garden and pond at the rear. Andrew, the owner, is extremely kind and hospitable, and goes out of his way to make sure that you have a comfortable vacation. We have already booked our next stay in the Autumn, so need we say more?! Diolch yn fawr am bopeth, Andrew.

Great house in Porthmadog retaining period character and very comfortable and well equipped.

Fantastic garden with beautiful planting and amazing views over to the estaury, mountains and steam railway, although be prepared to climb the steep steps up to the main garden. Very conveniently located to head down to the shops, pubs and restaurants in town and lovely beaches walking distance in the opposite direction as well. Amazing welcome hamper! Would highly recommended.

We had an amazing week at Wenallt - it is very comfortable, cozy and well equipped.

If you like a holiday property full of character, art, books and views then this is the place for you. It is also perfectly located with the town a short stroll away for shops, pubs and restaurants; coast walks direct from the house; more beaches nearby on the Llyn peninsula; and the peaks of the Eryri national park in driving distance. Our dog was very welcomed too and loved the open fire!

We absolutely loved our stay at Wenallt.

The owner was very thoughtful, the property was well furnished and equipped and the location is fantastic for beautiful coastal walking, the town and the train. We did a lot of steps- both in distance on walks and up and down to the harbour. We are coming back as soon as we can.

We really enjoyed our time at Wenallt.

We appreciated the warmth and comfort after days out in the March winds. Everything we wanted was there. The house is well situated for exploring the area with plenty to do within walking distance or a short drive. We came home refreshed and happy from our week at Wenallt.

Wow!

The perfect mix of relaxation and being in a wonderful position to explore the area. A very clean, comfortable and well appointed home with a fantastic art, antiques and modern conveniences. Thank you for sharing your property with us, it's highly recommend.

What a lovely place to stay; stylish period house sensitively and tastefully furnished.

Thoughtful touches and treats made the holiday extra special. The real bonus was the location - stunning views across the bay to the mountains and the constantly changing light; really beautiful. Cozy nights in front of the real fire in the parlour - what a delight. Andrew was very kind and responded quickly to any issues; thank you, much appreciated. Highly recommended for a break anytime of year but winter/new year was particularly enjoyable.

Just wow!

An amazing place to stay a real home from home with so much attention to detail. We really enjoyed our time at the cottage the views were stunning! Andrew was very attentive and helpful a perfect host.

13th - 20th December Our stay was perfect at Wenallt perfect location with fantastic views over Porthmadoc harbour and onto the mountains in the distance.

Accommodation was excellent, a great place to recharge your batteries. Hopefully to book and go again in the future.

We had a lovely stay at Wenallt.

On arrival we found an open fire ready to light with ample logs, kindling and coal provided. In the kitchen was an amazing welcome pack of wine chocolate's and cake. The house is very warm and comfortable with loads of nooks and crannies to explore. There is a wealth of books to enjoy and the kitchen is well stocked. The views from the house and lovely garden over the harbour and mountains are lovely.

This is a beautiful cottage.

Perfect for pottering around the town, coast & mountains. A lovely basket of goodies from the owner was a welcoming treat. Cannot wait to return.

This was our fourth trip to this beautiful practical house.

It’s steeped in history, with the most amazing views across the harbour to the Ffestiniog railway and the mountains beyond. Perfect. On inclement days my grandson and I stood in the window upstairs waiting for boats and trains! The road the property is on is quiet. The beds are comfortable, the house is warm and cosy. The shops and pubs are a short trip away. As is the beautiful countryside beyond A really great stay.

Wenallt was clean, cosy and comfortable.

Views from the house are spectacular and just a short walk down to the town to sample the delights of the steam railway. The owner has made sure that everything is thought of for a lovely holidaÿ. We hope to come back next year!

This is a great property, does need a bit of up dating, but you will find everything you need in the Kitchen, with an excellent welcome pack.

A beautiful house in an enviable location with panoramic views.

Many original features but also all mod cons provided. Lots of local information supplied. We only had a 3 night stay but were blessed with superb weather. Great walks from doorstep particularly to Black Rock Sands along Welsh Coast Path.

Another great holiday at Wenallt.

A wonderful comfortable house with one of the best views in North Wales. The owner of the property is a treasure & will go out of his way to make the stay as good as it possibly can be. We are off there again in four weeks to see how wonderful it is in Autumn. Paul Squires

A beautiful holiday home in a stunning location.

Everything you need is provided in the kitchen; the beds are very comfortable; the shower is good; the lounge is cosy & comfortable & the garden is lovely. The views from the windows are wonderful. Lots to do & see in the local area. Thank you so much.

Our third visit to Wenallt - we absolutely love it.

This house is fantastic. It is spacious and well equipped, full of character and full of books! The beds are very comfortable and all the rooms have absolutely everything you could need. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped There is a beautiful garden at the back with several levels where you can sit and relax and there is also seating in the front garden. There are fantastic views over Porthmadog Harbour and to the mountains beyond - absolutely unforgetable. The house was clean and welcoming on our arrival - fresh flowers from the garden in vases and bread, milk, wine, chocolates all provided by the owner. Parking outside the house was easy, the road is quiet as it not a through road and it is a short walk to Porthmadog Harbour and High Street. You can also walk to Borth-y-Gest and its lovely beaches. I would recommend Wenallt without any hesitation as the perfect house for a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

This was our second stay at Wenallt.

We love the lay out, furnishing and detail of the house. The owner has taken great care to ensure that the house has all the modern facilities and contents that you need for your stay, including a generous welcome basket and the all important milk, coffee and tea. The house benefits from fantastic views over Porthmadoc harbour including the Welsh Highland Railway station (a bit pricey but well worth the money). and is only a few minutes walk from the Welsh coastal path leading to quiet sandy bays. A wonderful stay and we look forward to another visit to this gorgeous dog friendly property.

Wenalt welcomed us with a lovely message and visit from the owner, freshly cut flowers and a basket of goodies and wine which were so thoughtful and greatly appreciated.

This beautiful house overlooking the harbour and mountains was beautifully clean and warm, comfortable and homely and really well placed to visit the beaches, castles and attractions of the region. Wenallt has a noble, historic presence, celebrated in the artwork, furniture and books throughout the property and is genuinely cherished by the owner, who made it clear that someone was always available if needed to ensure we had a happy holiday. We would recommend Wenallt to anyone who loves comfort, history, sea views and great Welsh walks.

We had a wonderful week in Wenallt!

The house was homely, welcoming and had everything you need for a week away and spacious for a family of six and our dog. The welcome treats were a lovely touch as were the fresh flowers. The house is situated in a lovely spot with views that are hard to beat. It’s a great location for walks with the dog and a great base for visiting nearby seaside towns and stunning mountains. Highly recommended The garden is steep as stated but beautiful with a stunning view Thanks so much

This is a very nice property in a SUPERB location.

I have no hesitation in recommending it. (The photos don't quite do justice to the view). For anyone wondering about the parking (as I did) ... it's on-road, in front of the property and presented no issues. The road is quiet, being an access road rather than a through road.

Wenallt is the loveliest home we have stayed in.

The house is full of history and the front room is lined with books - so if the weather is not too good, you will never be bored! The view from the front of the house is one of the very best in the world - it will stay with you for a very long time after returning home. The host, Andrew, is extremely kind and hospitable. The "goodies" he left for us were very generous - wine, chocolates, biscuits, bread, milk, flowers ... He popped in to see us one day and we had a long and interesting conversation. The house is beautifully warm and the power shower was wonderful. The beds were extremely comfortable, too. The large, family kitchen has everything you need for perfect holiday meals. And the rear garden is truly delightful. Thank you Alison, who we also met and was also very welcoming. We loved everything about Wenallt and we hope to return soon!

A great location and everything we could want in the house.

The beds were very comfy with lovely bedding. The kitchen had every utensil you would need and an air fryer was a bonus. The view from the window was something we shall miss as seeing the steam train coming in and out of the station was a joy. The owner left us lots of treats of biscuits, chocolates, wine and bread and milk we felt very spoilt

Delightful stay at Wenallt.

Unsurpassed views, comfortable, warm and cosy, gorgeous kitchen, nice mixture of old and new - we'll definitely return!

What a fabulous home!

Fully equipped and more... everything about the place was lovely - the welcome package very generous and we met the owner who popped in to provide more fuel for the fire. Had a lovely chat and a bit of background history to the house. The kitchen is the BEST equipped kitchen we've ever had through any letting agents, including air fryer, bread maker and slow cooker. Ample logs and coal to get you started. The beds are so comfortable that I now realise my own bed needs an upgrade. Stunning views, and even though we had wild weather - what better way to embrace it than a real fire overlooking the harbour. Thank You Andrew.

Another brilliant stay at Wenallt!

What a house this is with one of the best views over the harbour & the railway. The house itself has a boutique hotel finish but never the less manages to feel like home. A well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds & well stocked library together with the aforementioned view mean you may never want to leave! Oh I nearly forgot my dogs love it too. Paul Squires Nottingham

A lovely house, very comfortable and well equipped.

Fantastic views over the bay towards the mountains. Excellent communication from the owner and a lovely welcome pack of goodies. Really good location - away from the high street but only a few minutes walk and also easy walking distance to Borth y Gest and the coastal path around Llyn. We are already trying to work out when we can make another visit!

This is our second visit, summer last time, winter this.

The property has everything you could want & more. Warm, comfortable totally dog and people friendly - maybe not totally suitable for small children though. Amazing views & close to all amenities. It is up a hill from Porthmadog, and the garden at the back is very steep. The views from the top of the garden are wonderful and well worth the effort in getting there. Even without a vehicle the property can be enjoyed. Lots of easy walking paths locally and good public transport. Taking the standard 2 coach train down the coast to Barmouth (& beyond) is well worth it if you get a chance. I am sure we will be back again.

Wenallt is a house full of character.

We were very comfortable during the week that we spent there. Even when there was a problem, the owner Andrew came around personally and resolved it within a few hours. It’s also perfectly situated to the town and harbour. The property is obviously dog friendly and our pooch had a wonderful time too. We would definitely recommend it.

A great place to stay with the only observation being the steps to the garden.

As noted by the owner, they are steep . Everything was as you would want or need from the kitchen to the dining room to the sitting room. A perfect place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in the perfect location with stunning views!

The harbour with a variety of places to eat is a short walk away down some steep steps. However, there is an alternative route along the road which is less steep for those less mobile. Parking out front was easy for two cars, although the parking is not allocated and this might be more of an issue in peak season. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and was lovely and warm when we arrived on a cold day. It felt very homely. The kitchen is very well-equipped with all needs anticipated with the variety of equipment supplied. We made use of both the kitchen log burner and living room open fire and really appreciated that these were ready to go and well-supplied with firelighters, kindling and logs. The bedrooms were all a good size and the beds super comfortable and we loved the very good shower downstairs. Overall, we were very impressed by the cottage and had a lovely stay. We also appreciated the more relaxed approach by the owner when we didn't arrive to find a lengthy set of rules to abide by which can sometimes be the case... Instead, we arrived to a thoughtful bottle of wine and chocolates, bread and milk in the fridge and a friendly note welcoming us and providing the owner's details in case of any issues which we happily didn't have need of :-)

We had a very enjoyable stay at Wenallt.

The cottage was in a great location for the town with free parking outside and fantastic views. The cottage was well-equipped (especially in the kitchen) with comfortable beds, Wi-Fi, guide books and plenty of hot water. We had no complaints at all and only wish we could have stayed longer!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the house.

It is in such a lovely position, overlooking the train station and inner harbour. The facilities are excellent, and you can use anything you want, in the kitchen, also best equip kitchen we have been in. The owner, makes an effort to introduce himself and make sure you are happy with everything. He kindly gave us, Cooking Apples from the family orchard. We definitely would go back to the house again.

The cottage is a gem.

beautifully furnished to boutique standard. Very well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds, stunning views. Communication was excellent with owner. Will we be back? Absolutely! We have already booked two stays next year. We can’t recommend the house too highly. Paul & Tracey Squires Nottingham

Our second visit to Wenallt and we definitely hope to visit again.

It is a truly delightful house with everything we could possibly have wanted. Beautifully furnished with extremely comfortable beds and a huge kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and every kind of kitchen gadget and appliance and with a large table for family meals. There is a large, comfortable and cosy living room and a very impressive dining room and so many interesting books in every room. All the rooms at the front have fantastic views over Porthmadog harbour and to the mountains beyond - we could never tire of the wonderful view. There is a beautiful garden at the back with several levels where you can sit and relax, again with extensive views. The house was extremely clean and welcoming on our arrival and having bread and milk provided, as well as a bottle of wine and other treats, was very useful after a long journey. The owner has done so much to make guests feel welcome and make sure everything you could possibly need for a thoroughly enjoyable holiday is provided. Parking outside the house was easy and it is a short walk to Porthmadog Harbour and High Street. Our family had a wonderful holiday there and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

This is a beautiful house with bags of character and exceptional views.

The property was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Many thoughtful touches in the house (including fresh flowers). The steps to the garden are very steep (as stated in the property description) but it’s a lovely place to sit. The photos don’t do justice to the breadth of views from the mountains to the sea. Location is great, a short walk from the shops and everything but being set just above the town it feels very peaceful. Thank you Andrew for the warm welcome and for a wonderful stay. We will miss those views!

An amazing house.

Beautifully updated to allow the house to speak for itself. Wooden/slate floors, open fireplace in the front room (already to light), stunning dining room, modern kitchen with all the gadgets you could wish for, sypathetically installed to give a traditional feel. Upstairs 3 bedrooms (two double one twin) all very comfy with beautiful views - and warm! Garden was lovely, wild & fragrant, had stunning views and various levels to sit at, but extremely steep (as stated). Was worth the climb - the back bedroom had a door leading directly out to the garden so avoiding the lowest set of steps! A lovely welcome on arrival with a note from the owner & various goodies to eat/drink. Location very good, easy walk into the town & to Borth y Gest & wonderful views of the harbour, train and mountains. All in all a fab place, superb location & great holiday. Thank you so much.

This was a fantastic place to stay.

The views from the property are amazing, the house was just wonderful! The fragrances from all the flowers in the cottage style garden were just beautiful!

We loved this dog friendly house, the holiday begins with an explore of the listed building and tiered garden (steep steps up as stated in description) with wonderful views.

All the modern facilities you would expect, but in a house that beautifully reflects its past in its style and furnishings. There were some welcome gifts on our arrival and provision for milk tea and coffee .The wifi works well and the owner provides a range of streaming services including Disney. The kitchen has a wonderful slate floor and a family sized table complete with all mod cons including a double Ninja air fryer. Two bathrooms, one upstairs, traditional with a bath (separate toilet) and a modern downstairs shower room with toilet. In the kitchen, the owner has put together a purple information book about the house, area and kitchen utilities. Though the house is set on a hillside, heading left and down, steps down mean that you can be in the Porthmadog Harbour area in less than 5 minutes, or heading right and up the road from the house you can soon access the Welsh Coastal Path with walks to sandy beaches. Porthmadog is a great base for the Snowdonia National Park, heritage railway (less than 10 minutes walk), North Wales coast, including Anglesey and Conwy. I also recommend a visit to the Amber Falls whiskey distillery and the spectacular Amber Falls waterfall. I think this review indicates we would definitely like to return to Wenallt in the future.

we could not have wished for a cleaner well kitted house every thing about it was top class.

Beds were very comfortable lovely area. Andrew was a real gentleman nothing was too much trouble..I would certainly recommend this property.

Lovely old house with beautiful views.

Very well equipped and comfortable. Four adults, a baby and two dogs - we had plenty of room. The garden is very steep and the steps are difficult but the back bedroom has easier access to the garden via a door and bridge. The views are stunning. The garden is not suitable for children however, the house is on a quiet road and turning right as you exit the house there is a pleasant walk to the beach and cliff walks. Easy walk to the shops and railway but you cannot fail to linger and admire the stunning views of the Welsh mountains and pretty town below. Owner Andy very pleasant and accommodating and quickly answered a minor query. Thank you for the generous welcome pack.

Stunning views over the harbour and surrounding mountains from this homely, comfortable and well equipped house.

You can tell the owner has put his heart into this property. It was like a real home. I’ve never seen such a well equipped kitchen with bread maker, air fryer and coffee machines. The beds were super comfy. Lovely fluffy towels. Thank you for the personalised welcome note and chocs, wine, scones, milk and bread. Much appreciated. Though cold I did sit in the garden with a cuppa and enjoyed the elevated views. Nice little areas of seating to enjoy with warmer weather. Garden very steep as described. As it was colder we enjoyed the open fire in the living room with plenty of logs and coal provided. Perfectly situated for a fantastic week enjoying the Welsh Highland Railway, Betys-y-coed, Borth-y-gest, Criccieth, Glaslyn Ospreys, so much to do that we’d love to come back again here.

Beautiful little cottage in a fantastic setting overlooking the harbour.

The views are sensational. Definitely a property that would be as nice in the depths of winter as in the height of summer. Nice little touches everywhere and a kitchen with all the implements you could wish for. Owner clearly cares both about the property and ensuring that the visitor has a great stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a base from which to enjoy that part of North Wales.

We absolutely loved Wenallt!

It is one of the most beautiful holiday homes we've ever stayed in. From the original features and fittings to the book and art collection, it's a delight to stay in. As well as the aspect and proximity to the high street, pubs etc. and some fantastic coastal walks! The photos do NOT do it justice - particularly the bedrooms, which are really attractive and comfortable, and nicer than they appear on the website. Improvements - you could fit more seating into the lounge to suit a house that sleeps 6. Some larger pots and pans - no big sautee pan, just the one big saucepan.

Lovely period house in a fantastic location, spectacular views over the harbour and surrounding mountains, lots to do and see in the area, ideal for dog owners many nearby walks on beautiful beaches.

The house is quite quirky with lots of original features, antique furniture and artworks, and lots of books! Very comfortable beds, kitchen is well equipped. We would visit again.

The property is excellent in every respect.

It looks great in the brochure photographs and text but in reality it exceeded our expectations. I would certainly consider booking a holiday there again.

Lovely cottage with all the homely comforts.

Great views of the harbour and town from the elevated position of the cottage. The kitchen was well equipped and enjoyed the use of the bread machine. Bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The house was dressed for our Christmas stay and the welcome gifts of crackers, chocolates, bread, milk and wine were greatly appreciated. Would recommend this property for a holiday stay.

Wenallt is a very versatile and cosy historical cottage sitting in the hill above Porthmadog.

We arrived to a lovely welcome pack (milk, bread, biscuits, chocs and wine!). The cottage has everything (and more) you need for a stay - foodies will love the kitchen. There is an open fire and log burning oven. I challenge anyone to find a library as good as Wenallt’s in a holiday cottage on the planet!!! This is the perfect base for walkers, foodies, etc - very cosy for a restorative autumn/winter break as well as an active spring/summer holiday. Perfect for access across the peninsula, the national park and beyond. Criccieth, Harlech, Pwyheli, and Abersoch are a stones throw away. Loved our stay and we will be back!

We had a very comfortable, enjoyable stay in Wenallt.

Excellent location, amazing views, great facilities and very homely. The kids and dog really loved it too. Lovely walks from the door. The wine, chocolates, provisions and garden flowers on arrival were very much appreciated. Thanks very much.

Better than a five star hotel in a superb location and with great cooking and other facilities.

The house is full of interesting books and artefacts as well as a wonderfully big bath. Fantastic view over the sea and town; spotlessly clean and with great bedding. Can’t recommend too much!

We enjoyed our stay at Wenallt very much it’s a cosy house with comfortable beds plus great views from the windows , plus we could walk to Borth y Gest or Into the town very easily from there.

Lovely week spent at Wenallt made even better by great weather.

The views from the front of the house over to the cob across the sea, steam railway and mountains are special whatever time of day or night you take a look. No trouble parking outside the property on the road which makes unloading and packing up much easier. The house was nice, comfortable beds with sea views from the two front bedrooms. The garden was lovely but not suitable for young children or people with mobility problems. Large kitchen with table and chairs plus a great dining room. Would book again for next year but the week we want is already taken.

We had a wonderful two weeks at Wenallt.

It is a delightful house with everything we could possibly have wanted. It is spacious, beautifully furnished with comfortable beds and so many books! We enjoyed everything about the house and the garden and would never tire of the wonderful view. Having bread and milk provided as well as a bottle of wine and other treats was a lovely touch and very welcome after a long journey. The house is in a great position. Highly recommended.

We had a very enjoyable holiday !

Thank you

The second time we have stayed at Wenallt and would like to reiterate what l said then - the house was full of books and other visually stimulating pieces.

It was kind of the owner yo leave wine and chocks as well. The house is well equipped and made our stay extremely pleasant. We will certainly want to come again probably in the winter

We had a super week in Snowdonia, the cottage was in a perfect location to enjoy the mountains, castles and lots of wild swimming!

The cottage has fabulous views. Very well equipped and the beds were SO comfortable! Thank you

We’ve had a wonderful time at Wenallt.

It is a charming house in a fantastic location, the views are amazing. We loved watching the steam trains cross the estuary. The interior of the house is full of interesting art and books making it much more than just somewhere to stay. The owner was great at ensuring everything was ok.

We had a lovely stay, the house was beautiful!

Just a couple of things - we wanted to sweep up daily and couldn’t find a brush, also each kitchen cupboard was full of items and we had to rearrange quite a lot to get our food and things in. The back door handle was loose and the bathroom door handle was very loose, we didn’t close it all the way for fear of the handle coming off! Loads of plus points though and we would love to come back! Lovely little touches from the owners, location was spot on, no issues with parking, beds were super comfy, house was very roomy for the 6 of us, kids loved the quirky garden. Thank you for having us!

Very comfortable, well appointed with everything you would need for your stay.

Beautiful views of the harbour and a short walk into town and local beach. Lovely welcome gifts of wine and chocolate and othe goodies to eat. A lovely stay.

Lovely house with views to die for.

Lots of nice touches like the wine and chocolates left for us also tea coffee and sugar. The listing did warn that the garden was very steep and this is true . In fact we did not use it more than once as the steps were very tricky also applies to the steps to the bins. Thanks for bringing a replacement kettle so quickly.

Great house, wonderful view to the harbour.

Ideal place for coast, mountain and railways

We had a wonderful stay at Wenault - the house is perfectly located for access to the town and beaches and the views are absolutely amazing.

The house was comfortable, well presented, full of character and everything had been thought of - even little treats for us and the dogs! There is a lovely dog friendly beach within a short walk. The only downside for us was we had underestimated how steep and narrow the steps to access the garden were - our little dog was fine either them but our bigger dog couldn't go up snd down them which was a pity because the views from the top of the garden and we would have enjoyed spending more time up there with a big glass of wine! But if your dog is fine with steps we would 100% recommend this lovely house. Thank you!

Lovely property with real Welsh character.

The views are amazing! Comfy sofa, good kitchen, just generally good all round. Top tip for others - the kitchen can feel cold when it is hot outside (so the heating is off) so bring your slippers.

A great place to stay in Porthmadog with one of the best views that you can find.

We will be back!

The house is spacious and very clean.

All the rooms are generous and the view over the harbour is gorgeous. It was well equipped and the heating was very efficient and easy to use. The complimentary bottle of wine and milk in the fridge and bread in the kitchen was a lovely touch and greatly appreciated. Parking the car was not an issue and we were able to park outside the house each day with no problem. Overall we were very impressed with the whole house and our visit to a beautiful part of Wales. Thank you

Wenallt.

. is an exceptional place to stay can't rate it enough. Wonderful views, a very comfortable home from home. We had to make the effort to go out as there were so many wonderful books to read, lovely art work in every room. Kitchen was well kitted out and on arrival milk,bread,coffee and tea were provided even a splendid bottle of wine and chocs. The owner came round mid week with extra logs.Fantastic location, steam railway down the road a five min walk to town, walks from the door. Wenallt gets top marks!

We had a beautiful 7 night stay at Wenallt Such a beautiful house and home from home Views are amazing and the house was stocked with everything we needed and more.

Had some lovely evenings cooking and chatting in the kitchen in front of log burner. Andrew was so kind and bought extra logs etc for the open fire just when we had run out. We will be back and will highly recommend.

A beautiful house, so many interesting books, art etc.

l would highly recommend it for both individuals and families. It it conveniently situated in Portmadoc and the Snowdonian National Park

A lovely characterful place with original features.

The welcoming touches like milk, tea/coffee, chocolate and wine was a lovely surprise when arriving late. We arrived in the dark so it was wonderful to wake up in the morning and see the beautiful view outside the window. We enjoyed the open fire, and were really grateful to be provided with all the coal, wood etc. that we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped too, we even made fresh bread in the breadmaker while we were there! Was good to have an extra toilet, shower room downstairs if you didn’t want baths but was fine and very clean and modern. Good location, walking distance of town centre was good. Overall a very enjoyable stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Wenallt, it's a beautiful cottage, full of charm and character and furnished very generously by our host Andrew.

We especially enjoyed the open fire in the lounge (as did the dogs!), settling down in front of it with a bottle of wine was the perfect end to a long day's walking. The view overlooking the marina and out into the estuary with the hills beyond was fantastic and not something you would ever tire of waking up to. Porthmadog itself has everything you need, high street stores but also local craft shops as well as a nice selection of delis, cafes, restaurants and friendly pubs most serving generous servings of the 'classics' often with a twist. (*We stayed a little out of season so it's worth checking before you go that the kitchens are open, it's not necessarily the case every night). Location wise you're ideally placed to explore the local area, Portmeirion is literally over the headland, the costal path will take you to Criccieth the other way or, when the tide is out, you can follow the stunning beaches all the way. Snowdon, Beddgelert, Harlech and Bala are all as short drive away and the Llyn Peninsular is there to explore. All in all, just perfect for us and we would absolutely recommend staying. Special thanks to Andrew for his generosity and welcome.
