Bay View Apartment

Beautiful apartment with fantastic views over the bay from the lovely balcony.

We had a wonderful stay.

The newly added balcony made a huge difference. Sitting there overlooking the bay was magnificent. The apartment was spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. The owners were responsive and made sure we had everything we needed.

We really enjoyed staying in this lovely apartment, particularly the new balcony with its views of the ever-changing sea and of village life.

Must comment too on the excellent coffee served in the cafe downstairs: best in Porthmadog in our opinion (and we have sampled most of them!)

A bright, clean, well equipped and comfortable apartment in a great location.

Superb views from the open plan kitchen/dining/living room on the first floor. Be aware that the stairs are a little steep and could be tricky for anyone with mobility issues, although our 87 year old mother managed just fine. Overall, we loved it here.

Excellent apartment with an unbeatable view in a super location.

Absolutely delightful holiday accommodation with stunning views.

The place was spotless and very well equipped. This was our second visit and we have already booked for next year.

Lovely warm welcome, the property was spotless and smelled lovely.

The views and location are to be returned to again and again. Facilities were spot on with attention to detail in provisions. Thank you for having us, we will most definitely be back.

Lovely apartment, well appointed, everything you could need.

Beds very comfortable. The view overlooking the bay is very pretty, even in the worst of weathers! Fiona, the owner, is on hand for any queries and will go out of her way if there are any concerns. Would recommend.

What a beautiful property.

Beautifully decorated and fully equipped, home away from home. Clean, comfortable, beautiful views and lovely decor and thoughtful touch’s. We have stayed in borth -y .gest many times in various properties and never tire of the ever changing views, quiet clean beach’s and lovely welcoming residents. A dog haven with no restrictions just freedom. Fiona is a lovely welcoming owner and so helpful and accommodating. Can’t wait to return

Firstly the views are magnificent, we spent many happy hours just sat in the bay windows watching the world go by.

The bay is so quiet and peaceful, everyone was so friendly and that went for the whole area including Porthmadog itself which has an array of cafes, pubs, restuarants and shops. and is 2 minutes away by car. The apartment was clean and well furnished with comfortable beds and totally adjustable central heating which my partner loved. A few small things to mention just for information. The TV does tend to lose reception quite a lot, no doubt due to the absolutely beautiful mountain scenery so the Fire Stick was a god send and luckily we already had subscriptions to Netflix and Disney so plenty to watch. If you are a fan of takeaways be aware that Just Eat, Uber Eats or Deliveroo won't deliver to the bay so its make your own food or sample one of the many lovely eateries in the area including the delightful one right under the apartment. For people with limited mobility, there is a downstairs bedroom but the main living area is up a flight of stairs but this wasn't a huge issue for my partner who uses a stick, your mileage may vary however. On a final note Fiona the owner of the apartment was very friendly and welcoming and kept in touch via email to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall VERY highly recommended, we will be booking again for next year and can't wait to return.

We all had a lovely time at Bay View, it was comfortable and well equipped, better than expected in fact.

The view from the bay windows is stunning.

We had an amazing stay at Bayview.

There was everything we needed and there was so much attention to detail. The owner was very welcoming and did everything she could to make our stay a perfect one. Would love to go back.

This is one of the best holiday rentals I have ever had the pleasure of staying in.

The apartment is really lovely and spacious, it has everything you need! The real selling point is the view of the bay out of the windows. I loved sitting in the morning looking out on the bay drinking my coffee and being in awe of the natural beauty. Such a great place to stay

All good, although we are not big TV viewers the TV reception was very poor, depending on weather it was unwatchable at times.

The Fire stick was not working and the internet channels not obtainable.

Bay View is a beautiful apartment with everything you need to have a wonderful holiday.

The living space is full of light thanks to the high ceilings and large windows. The sofas are wonderfully comfortable for an evening in spent watching the large screen Smart TV or for playing games ( Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit thoughtfully provided). The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for cooking as much or as little as you like, it would have been nice to have a slightly bigger ice box but the space is limited and a larger fridge freezer wouldn't be right in the area so it really is a very minor thing. The beds are beautifully comfortable and the rooms have ample storage space. Bathrooms are both equipped with showers if you don't fancy a soak at the end of a busy day. But the highlight of the place has to be the ever changing view from the windows...watching the tides come in and out,the clouds racing,the aircraft on low training exercises and the people coming and going is unforgettable. And when the day trippers leave,at the end of the day it is so quiet and peaceful. Only two minor points, a fan in the living area would be nice as it can get a bit warm in the beautiful sunshine and occasionally the TV signal tends to drop but these really are NOT that big a deal compared to what this lovely place has to offer. And the icing on the cake is downstairs,fabulous food,and the loveliest staff you could wish for !

Very nice property and really well equipped, especially the kitchen.

Really appreciated flowers and treats on arrival. The TV has freeview only, no streaming services, and the front room might benefit from some fans in this hot weather(but where doesn’t?!) but the views are amazing and Borth-y-gest is a lovely village with nice local walks and a pretty beach. Would definitely recommend.

Our second visit to Bay View, and once again we give the whole experience 10/10.

The property itself is delightful: well-equipped, thoughtfully furnished and in an unbeatable location. Dog friendly and located in dog-heaven. Fiona is a supportive host: when we arrived there were a few electrical issues, she had the electrician onto them within minutes and all sorted asap. A question about recycling was similarly dealt with: speedy and satisfactory. The cafe downstairs is a bonus, (fabulous breakfasts) but impinges on the apartment not at all: no noise, no cooking smells. This place is a gem. I hope we will visit again.

A lovely property with the best views and in an excellent location, within easy walking distance to explore Borth y Gest, its lovely beaches, Porthmadog and the surrounding areas.

The property has everything you need for a really comfortable stay. Fiona, the host, was very attentive and responded very quickly when we had any questions. The property is above a lovely cafe which does great food, and although it didn’t bother us, it’s worth being aware that you can sometimes hear people chatting and background music. Will definitely start again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

What a lovely place to spend a weeks holiday.

C;ean,tidy and well equipped. so nice to drink your morning coffee sitting in the bay window and looking at the wonderful view of the bay. Only one small thing, in all cottages we have stayed in (we have stayed in a lot) there has been a welcome pack it would be nice to have some milk in the fridge so you can make a cup of tea after a long journey. We really enjoyed our stay in bay view and if ever in the area again would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you

The new settees and chairs give you that lovely feeling whilst sitting looking out across Borth y Gues beach, a stones throw away from the apartment.

Any issues you have are quickly dealt with by the owner so as to not disturb your visitor. Gone are the parking issues by the new parking arrangements, so you can go out and come back to a place to park. Third visit and it gets better each time. Looking forward to next years visit and hoping the Red Arrows are around again so can watch them flying over. The cafe below provides some fabulous food to try so you don’t have to do too much.

Wonderfully restful week at Bay View.

Our second time here as the apartment is clean, comfortable and has a beautiful view. It is ideally situated and the perfect setting for either pottering around locally or exploring Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula. We highly recommend it and will certainly be returning. Thank you Fiona.

Really lovely apartment in a stunning location.

It was really well equipped with plenty of glasses and crockery not the usual 6 of everything which was refreshing. Although it was above the cafe there was no noise which was a concern when booking. It was definitely better than the pictures on the website showed. We will definitely be back.

A beautiful location with a panoramic view of the harbour.

A short walk takes you to some amazing picturesque beaches with large expanses of sand. Very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this apartment.

We all had a lovely stay at Bay View Apartment, the view out of the window was spectacular looking across the estuary and the mountains beyond, the apartment was well equipped and very clean and comfortable.

20minute walk into Porthmadog which is home to the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway, about 30mins drive to snowdon, all in all a very convenient and very comfortable place to stay to explore Snowdonia. Fiona welcomed us with lots of cake which was much appreciated and was always at the end of the phone if we needed her. I would definitely recommend a stay in Bay View Apartment you will not be disappointed. Diane

We so enjoyed this property found it very well equipped and have to say the Sofas were the most comfortable ones we have found in the properties we have stayed in.

We felt very welcomed in this stay and view out of the lounge window is spectacular with a view over the harbour, we will be going back to this property in the future.

Great position & views.

Apartment felt spacious & well cared for. Access to a parking space in a busy season is useful though the public car park is close by. We had fantastic sunny weather for our September stay & had a lovely week, thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bayview Apartment.

The property is clean, cosy and well equipped. The owner is very helpful even taking the trouble to call us at lunch time on the day of arrival to say the property was ready and we could check in anytime. The views over the bay are lovely and I took great pleasure drinking my early morning cuppa sat in one of the comfy rocking chairs in the bay window watching the dog walkers. Borth-Y-Gest is ideal for exploring Snowdonia and you are right on the coastal path.

A very well equipped cottage with plenty of room for our party of 4 adults and a 10 year old.

Owner very friendly. Fantastic view from living room window.

We all had a lovely stay at Bay View Apartment.

The location of the Apartment could not have been improved on, as is as close to the sea as it can be and has the most enchanting view over the Bay. The large windows of the open plan living space frame the magnificent sea within the bay and the majestic mountains beyond it. The extraordinary scenery changes on hourly based and depending on the amount of sunshine changes colours as well. No wonder that Borth-y-Gest is considered Porthmadog’s beauty spot. The Apartment is large, comfortable in every sense. The interior is furnished well and aesthetically pleasing. It offers plenty of space for all, children and adults alike. The kitchen is very well equipped if one wishes to prepare even most elaborate of meals. We loved the bathrooms that were spacious and showers with excellent pressure and lovely hot water. The linen and towels were lovely and had a scent of fresh air. The beds were comfortable ensuring good night rest. Our lovely Hostess Fiona welcomed us on our arrival and guided us to our parking area. She also kindly gifted us with some lovely local cookies, chocolate and bottles of milk for much needed cup of tea after our journey. We had a lovely weather through out of our stay and even the temporary showers were enjoyed indoors looking at the outstanding scenery all around us. The coast in Borth-y-Gest is beautiful and lends itself for walks and number of small beaches are perfect for making sand castles and flying kites. The big Plus of staying in the Apartment is its proximity to the Restaurant that is situated on the ground floor with tasty dishes that are on offer there and Cafe/Bistro next door that offers wide range of meals, lovely coffee and delicious ice cream. Both venues are well known in the area for tasty food and always in demand. Porthmadog 20 min walk away offeres a wide range of shops and supermarkets, few charity shops and couple of antique shops with interesting objects. Our memories of our stay in the Apartment and our visit to Borth-y-Gest will always be full of beauty and comfort. We are very happy to recommend this apartment in this location for all who seek rest from hustle and bustle of busy life and seek to restore harmony to mind&body and spirit.

This property served us extremely well - 4 adults and a 3-year old.

It was spacious and comfortable. The location was superb, overlooking the bay. It was within easy walking of numerous small coves and beaches which were mostly sandy - great for the 3-year old. The apartment was also within a 15-20 minute mostly level walk of Porthmadog, so the car mostly remained parked up! There were also lovely woodland walks behind the apartment which provided a nice alternative to the coast. The apartment is dog-friendly. The owner was extremely obliging and able to help with any problems as she lived close by. All round we had a super holiday and would have no doubt in recommending it to family and friends. We look forward to returning.

We had a great week in the Bay view apartment, it was so comfortable, everything you need is there.

Great view, so relaxing to view the bay. Also a nice spot to start walking several routes to do. Thanks Fiona for the nice apartment

It is a lovely place to stay, peaceful and relaxing.

It is well equipped, cleaned and maintained and very comfortable - especially the rocking chairs in the bay window to enjoy the view. The position is perfect with excellent views across the bay and walks from the door along the coastal path or just a few minutes walk into Porthmadog. It is a holiday for dogs too!

Can't recommend highly enough.

Beautiful views, a lovely comfortable apartment with everything you need for a family holiday; topped off by fabulous hosts who go the extra mile to ensure your stay is perfect. Will definitely return

Thank you Fiona, for a warm welcome.

We had a very comfortable stay with a wonderful view.

The property was perfect, really well equipped and a beautiful location.

We had an amazing stay.

A great apartment in a fantastic location with easy access to all parts of Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsular, whilst the local walks around the estuary are very beautiful.

There are with huge views across the bay - and watching an glorious winter sunrise reflecting into the room is well worth getting up for! The apartment was high quality and had everything needed including some great old books to read. Many thanks for the stay.

Bay View Apartment was everything we needed for our family break.

Perfect in every way. We especially appreciated the excellent communication with the owner, the beautiful views to help us relax, and not forgetting the delicious cakes! We were very pleased to find that the cafe below the apartment was open and operating in October, and we made good use of this, too!

Had a lovely holiday.

The view from the apartment is great, straight over the bay. Everything you need is provided. Thank you to Fiona for a very friendly welcome. Would definitely recommend.

Would definitely stay again or recommend to others.

Lovely place and host.

Our second visit and thoroughly enjoyed it !

views are wonderful and the accomodation exceptional

Well appointed apartment with fantastic views over the bay.

Very comfortable beds. Great holiday had by all

We loved our stay at Bay View apartment and had everything we needed.

The owner was very helpful and we were blessed with wonderful weather. As a few other reviewers mentioned it could do with a new sofa and little a little revamp in the lounge area, otherwise great.

Lovely accommodation in an equally lovely setting.

We took a day to explore the Llyn peninsular, driving up "Mynydd" for the view of Bardsy and finishing in the Ty Coch.

Brilliantly situated apartment with lovely views of the bay enjoyed from the rocking chairs placed in the bay window.

Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Perfectly placed for discovering all that North Wales has to offer. Porthmadog is a short stroll away. The bistro on the ground floor was an added bonus with good food and very friendly staff. We will be visiting again.

Very poor WI reception.

Unusable at times

Fabulous apartment with stunning views.

The owner was so helpful, I’ll definitely look to book again. Will highly recommend to friends and family.

We had a great week in Bay view.

The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed (except a washing machine which would have been good). The location and views were amazing. It was lovely to sit looking out of the windows. The weather was brilliant and we spent most of our time on the beach. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it.

One of the best holiday properties we have ever stayed in.

Clean, comfortable, very well equipped, and the location looking out over Borth-y-Gest harbour is just fabulous! Sitting in a rocking chair looking out at the wonderful view and seeing the tide come slowly in - idyllic. Lots of walks nearby, the shops of Porthmadog just over the hill and all the joys of Snowdonia within easy driving distance. And an outstandingly good café just downstairs. Wow. One tiny niggle: in these days of total recycling and waste management the property really does need a full size food waste bin.The little counter-top one isn’t enough for a whole week’s potato peel and banana skins!

Superb apartment, everything we hoped it would be, it was 1st class, stunning views made our holiday perfect, this accomadation is highly recomended in every aspect, it is a perfect apartment, ideally situated, for touring the area, and at the end of the day, you come home to a wonderful property, it made our holiday complete.

A great week, lovely position on the harbour front panoramic views from the armchairs!

Apartment is very well equipped and if you don’t want to cook the cafe/restaurant next door is excellent

What a superb location views are spectacular, beds are the most comfortable we’ve ever had and with a great restaurant below its perfect, thank you to all for making it so memorable.

Perfectly placed for a relaxing break, this apartment is so comfortable and stylish.

. park your car and chill.. fab walks from the door around the Harbour, along the Beach and to Porthmadog. Two lovely places to eat on your doorstep, both overlooking the Bay. Love sitting in the Bay Windows and people-watching or enjoying the stunning views out to Sea.

Great holiday.

Superb views from apartment and we were very lucky with the weather

Great apartment in a fab location with amazing views.

The best feature of the apartment is definitely the views over the tidal estuary - whatever the weather or time of day the view was stunning. Away from the windows the apartment is well equipped and comfortable with ample space for our family of four plus dog. The friendly owner lives nearby and we were made to feel very welcome. Lots to do straight from the front door with beautiful beaches, walks and the downstairs cafe/take-away. More stunning beaches are a short drive away and the mountains and walks of Snowdonia are easily accessible by car. We had a brilliant two weeks and would recommend the apartment and the area.

Been to this property quite a few times now.

All good except the settees and cgsurs which are extremely uncomfortable. Will probably book somewhere else in the autumn

The flat was clean, comfortable and had the most amazing view over the bay

Amazing views of Borth y Gest bay from the twin rocking chairs!

A great well equipped apartment, food at Sea View next door is excellent too.

Fiona was most helpful in making our stay a fantastic break, we were lucky with the weather, if we would have been in the apartment for longer it may be worth upgrading the tv to a smart tv however this was not an issue for us.

I would love to stay here again.

The apartment was well equipped and comfortable.

The whole place was spotlessly cleaned and we felt safe staying here. The bistro/tearooms below is amazing serving delicious food throughout the day. The view from the apartment is beautiful and you instantly relax watching the tide come in and out. We will hopefully return soon.

This has to be one of our best holidays we ve had In years.

Great base to explore places. The Appartment was fantastic. Comfortable Really enjoyed our selves. Deffenley go again. K L Green.

The cottage is amazing, with beautiful views.

The facilities are fantastic, and is very well equipped. The locality is great, so much to do, beach walking, pretty villages and the Ffestniog Heritage Railway. We will definitely be booking here again.

A very well appointed apartment and a very friendly and responsive owner (Fiona)

Gorgeous holiday let we were really comfortable.

Beds were lovely so clean and views were amazing, we will definitely rent it again. Host Fiona was lovely.

Wonderful location.

lots to see and do Property was superb Highly recommend

Beautiful apartment, very comfortable beds and pillows, large baths, excellent showers, really good kitchen equipment, very well equipped and spacious property which, in my book, makes for the most relaxing holiday!

Fabulous views and walks from the door. Good Cafe/Bistro and Restaurant within walking distance. Arrive, park the car and chill - perfect! Welcome Pack was a lovely treat on arrival.
