“We have now stayed in the Old Cornhill three times, and will not hesitate to stay there again.”

The location is superb, being both central and quiet.

“Lovely flat, lovely location overlooking the harbour.”

Nothing needed in the flat, as the attention to detail was excellent. We had a really nice holiday. Highly recommended.

“We were very happy at the Cornhill, we stayed on flat 2 on first floor.”

Two small observations which would be worth noting. 1) the king size bed was extremely comfortable and we both slept well, the drawback was it was very low to the ground, felt a bit like sleeping on the floor. when getting up in the morning, (being fit 70's) proved a bit difficult. 2) There was not a nice clock on the wall anywhere. Otherwise, everything is there that you need.

“The arrival instructions were clear.”

Parking was easy, we parked outside or in the nearby free car park. Another flat had their car in the shared court yard, but there was space for another. The entrance is at the back of the building, it isn't pleasant; damp, dark and mossy. The flat itself was incredibly clean, tidy and well thought out. We had a lovely view over the harbour from the lounge. The kitchen was well equipped, they had provided basic cleaning materials, but the fridge doesn't seal closed properly and the freezer is over icing. The shower was reliable. The bed; had lovely fresh linen, was firm and comfy but quite low. Our main concern was that the building is an echo chamber and all floors are creaky. We could hear all the neighbouring flats clattering, chatting and tv's, so I'm sure they could hear us! It made us concious walking about and watching tv.

“Enjoyed our stay.”

Central location. Apartment very well equipped and spacious enough for 2 people. Comfortable nights sleep and easy shower to use. We weren’t able to park in the courtyard for the first few days and when this happens you are reliant on a space directly opposite the flat. However, if not available either, then you are forced to park further away. Basic free view tv, so I would recommend taking a few dvds-especially for those wet and windy days/nights. The two settees also have low backs so they are not as comfortable as they look. Wouldn’t stop us from returning to number 2 though. Thank you!

“We'd like to leave a detailed review as there is only one on your site for this property and we usually rely on reviews when booking holiday accommodation.”

The apartment was very comfortable and had everything you could need. The kitchen is well equipped and the pans and knives are of a good quality for holiday cooking. There is an iron and ironing board plus a clothes airer so doing any washing is easy. The bed was very comfortable and there is plenty of storage. The shower is good with plenty of hot water but there was variable pressure at times - but nothing to put you off staying here. The views from the window are wonderful. You can see the harbour and the steam trains in the distance. The area gets busy on sunny days but is quiet in the nights. It is just a very short walk into town and to the train station and the beaches at Borth-Y-Gest and so is an ideal location. There is parking available in the courtyard and there is a small table with chairs for sitting out but this area is shaded so we preferred to sit on the benches across the road. The place was very clean when we arrived and was supplied with handwash etc to help keep Covid safe. We could sometimes hear the people in the apartment above us moving about a little but this was certainly not an issue. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment.

“A superb base for exploring the area, particularly on foot - we clocked up over 50 miles during the week!”

Porthmadog itself is very well served for facilities and has lovely beaches close by too. We found the flat extremely comfortable and quiet with excellent elevated views over the harbour - well recommended.

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.
