“Great cottage and location”

- Miss Sutcliffe, August 2021
Miss Sutton August 2021

“This apartment is well located, has all the facilities needed.”

However this is not a pet friendly apartment, no enclosed garden as the courtyard opens out onto the car park.

- Miss Sutton, August 2021
Mrs Reid July 2021

“Overall the accommodation was fine, although one toilet roll was not sufficient for a week.”

The private courtyard garden is not ideal for dogs and is tiny. If taking a dog it would have to be on a lead outside.

- Mrs Reid, July 2021
Mrs Tutty May 2021

“Thank you for a lovely stay.”

The location was beautiful. We would like to give a few bits of feedback: the toaster is temperamental and looks fairly old/used- there is a knack to using it which some guests may find frustrating (I did initially!). The heating and shower were both amazing. Beds were comfortable and fresh and clean. Overall apartment was clean and well stocked. The kitchen table seats were very uncomfortable.

“Very comfortable and well located accommodation in a beautiful area”

- Mr Richards, April 2021
Ms Brown September 2020

“Excellent property with a great location”

- Ms Brown, September 2020
Mrs Draper September 2020

“The apartment was spacious and clean.”

Location was excellent , tucked away near the harbour , very quiet at night - yet all the towns facilities were close by. It is the small details which mean the most, plenty of coat hangers , a non slip mat to use in the bath/shower and a nightlight near the bedrooms. However, please note , no hairdryer ! The weather was superb , which does really help, and the cafes and pubs did their level best to get round this difficult time . We used the trains , the coastal route to Aberdovey and the Ffestiniog railway-we had to have our own carriage , which was great.!

- Mrs Draper, September 2020
Mrs Hughes August 2020

“Ideal location for short break.”

PORTMADOC lacked suitable places to eat out though . A few good supermarkets nearby. High street has seen better days.

- Mrs Hughes, August 2020
Mr Vaughan Pearson March 2020

“Lovely cottage, great facilities.”

Was cold when we arrived but soon warmed up. A leak from the toilet made the floor wet. We'll stay again.

- Mr Vaughan Pearson, March 2020
Dr Robinson October 2019

“The apartment was well presented and very clean after a change in housekeepers recently .”

The location next to the marina and on the Welsh Coastal footpath made it excellent for walking to Borth y gest beach and onward to Black rock sands - All round a great place to stay and the owner was a pleasant person to deal with on the two occasions I had contact Will stay again

- Dr Robinson, October 2019
Mr Morrison September 2019

“When we arrived my wife had to clean the place and this took over an hour to do.”

This our fourth time of visiting and the cleanliness no-where matched the previous times. The floor needed cleaning and mopping, cooked food was left in the sink, toothpaste marks all over the floor, the cutlery was dirty in the drawer, crockery stained The bathroom pedestal smelt of wee around the base and the so called 'clean' towels were very badly stained and smelt musty. Unless the quality of cleanliness improves we probably wont go back again. We feel very sorry for the owners who have always had an apartment to be proud of. Regards Mr & Mrs S. Morrison. Anglesey

- Mr Morrison, September 2019

Thank you again for providing this feedback, due to which we have changed our cleaners from 5th October to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. Owner relations

Mr Rowe June 2019

“Beautiful apartment, our second visit.”

Fab location too. Only slight criticism was cleanliness, some parts needed looking at.

- Mr Rowe, June 2019

We are glad that you enjoyed your second visit to Bwthyn Llechen. We have passed on your issues with the cleanliness to the housekeeping team to make them aware of it. We do hope we can welcome you back before too long. Owner relations
Myerscough April 2019

“It would have been better to be able to open the patio window doors.”

It's very enclosed and dark and could get too hot as well.

- Myerscough, April 2019

We take our guest feedback extremely seriously and we’re disappointed to hear that you found our holiday home too hot - there are two sets of keys for the patio doors and the heating is totally controllable by all guests but thank you for your feedback Owner relations

The property

Bwthyn Llechen is a spacious ground floor apartment in a harbourside location near the centre of Porthmadog, on the Llŷn Peninsula.

Formerly the Slate Wharf manager's house for the Oakeley quarry at Ffestiniog, it has now been carefully converted, retaining its fine exterior, into a relaxing, contemporary holiday apartment.

If you are keen to reduce your carbon footprint you can arrive by train or bicycle and have masses to do from here without needing a car.

Porthmadog is home to the Ffestiniog Railways - hop on a train and visit the slate mines at Llechwedd, travelling through some stunning scenery, or take a Sherpa bus to the foot of Snowdon, going through the pretty village of Beddgelert.

Good cafes and restaurants are all within walking distance - try Hen Fecws!

Discover wonderful beaches at Black Rock Sands and pretty coves and bays around the harbour at Borth Y Gest.

This apartment is a delight and in the most convenient central location.

There is parking for two cars, too.

A fabulous place to stay whilst on holiday in North Wales!

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, 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. 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.
