    “An absolute gem of an apartment, super comfy and absolutely amazing views (we had sun, snow, rain, hail and storm Bertie!”

    ). The apartment itself had absolutely everything you needed and more, the owner had thought about everything you could need for pretty much any eventuality! Porthmadog is beautiful and never disappoints. We’d love to re book!.

    - Georgina, November 2024

    Even in the depths of November and the all-encompassing weather you were subject to, I find it very gratifying that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay. And I therefore thank you for your most uplifting and kind comments.I do try and cater for all tastes. Together with Porthmadog town, It is indeed a delightful place to stay no matter what the weather might be. You are quite right - Porthmadog never disappoints. Maybe the reason I still have the apartment after 55 years! It is a microcosm that encapsulates all the characteristics of the holiday ideal. So I do hope you will return and perhaps with more clement weather your enjoyment of the place will reach new heights. Anyway, please take care and I wish you well Property Owner

The property

Idyllically positioned on the harbourside and overlooking the tranquil waters of the Afon Glaslyn, this homely ground-floor apartment is situated in the charming coastal town of Porthmadog, Gwynedd.

Resting in close proximity to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and the iconic narrow gauge steam railways of Ffestiniog and the Welsh Highland, 48A South Snowdon Wharf provides a lovely base for a couple looking to explore the delights of North Wales.

Park up in the designated off-road parking space before stepping over the threshold and making your way inside, entering into a fabulous open-plan living space, flooded with light welcomed in through the towering picture windows and framing unspoilt views across the estuary and harbour.

The designated chef will be delighted by the fully-equipped kitchen tucked away at the rear of the sociable space, home to a range of handy appliances including an electric oven and hob, with an elegant breakfast bar positioned nearby, providing the perfect space to share a bottle of wine with your significant other as your cook up a storm.

Following a day full of adventure, settle down for the evening with a sumptuous spot in front of the Smart TV, gently warming your toes with the glow of the flame-effect electric fire; the perfect combination for a quiet night in.

In the warmer months, slide open the patio doors and bring the fresh coastal breeze inside, or end the evening in style with a seat on the harbour wall, where you can watch the boats sail in across the horizon as you toast a glass of wine to an unforgettable holiday.

As the evening draws to a close, prepare for bed with a rejuvenating rinse in the contemporary walk-in shower before snuggling up under the crisp linen of the sumptuous double bed to rest your eyes ahead of a new day.

The ancient town of Caernarfon is always worth a visit and has a great collection of buildings such as Caernarfon Castle which is Designated a World Heritage Site, it's also home to the Museum of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

For those who love a bit of history, on a hill above the town is Segontium Roman Fort, dating back to AD77, a must see for anyone visiting the area.
