    “The location of this property was great for a short stay.”

    The apartment had signs of wear and some general replacement of items would help (rusty shower rail, broken blinds (note left), old/broken key safe. The bedding (not covers) was stained and needs replacing (these points are noted in previous feedback and have not been actioned despite minimal cost).

    The apartment had signs of wear and some general replacement of items would help (rusty shower rail, broken blinds (note left), old/broken key safe. The bedding (not covers) was stained and needs replacing (these points are noted in previous feedback and have not been actioned despite minimal cost). The blinds have not been dusted in some time and there was as large stain on the floor in one room. Standard of cleaning could have been better but was not terrible (throw on bed had dog hairs all over). It is advertised for pets so probably to be expected but this should have been changed and not recycled for the next guests with no pets. The bathroom fan was noisy at times and screeched one time in the night when using the toilet. The instructions on Sykes were not correct as they key fob for the gates was in the apartment and not key safe (they key safe front fell off when when opened it - not really secure). This was not easy to navigate on a dark night with poor lighting and a door that has a knack to open (not good for those with arthritis/pain in hands). It was in a quiet location and served its purpose for us, but would probably not return.

The property

This immaculate, ground-floor apartment sits in an attractive, gated development of 16 flats and apartments, close to Porthmadog’s harbour and marina.

Whistle Stop Apartment is a fantastic choice for couples or a small family seeking a superb location in this harbour town.

Beyond the secure gates is a prestigious courtyard where you will find your allocated parking space.

Discover the well-appointed kitchen/diner, where the house chef can impress with their favourite meals, before loading up the dishwasher and kicking back beside the TV in the lounge.

On a warm day, throw open the French doors and take in those glorious harbour views, reminding you of this idyllic location.

Start your nightly routine in the bathroom, with a choice of bath or shower to wash away the day, before finding comfort in a double or twin bedroom, both neatly presented.

The apartment is within walking distance of all the town's facilities, including shops, pubs, restaurants, and the famous narrow gauge Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Steam Railways.

Take a wander along the glorious harbour where you can take a look at the exhibits on offer in the Maritime Museum or hop on board a vintage steam railway and soak up over 14 miles of charming country views.

For a fun-filled day at the beach, venture to Borth Y Gest or Morfa Bychan, where you can spend an afternoon bathing on the sands and beachcombing the shores.

With all this, plus the historic town of Caernarfon nearby, a holiday at Whistle Stop Apartment is sure to be packed with adventure.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

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 Caerforn . 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.
