"What a lovely apartment, had everything we needed, comfortable, clean, good parking, good location, amazing view from the balcony- really enjoyed watching the tide come in and out, and the swans, geese, ducks & oyster catchers."
Really close to Portmeirion, Harlech Castle only 20 minute drive, & adjacent to railway station. Enjoyed six hour round trip on steam train to Caernarvon & back, was expensive but well worth it. Will hope to book apartment again next year!

"This was a beautiful apartment - and we loved every minute of our stay, even on the one very wet day."
The place is warm, comfortable and well appointed. Perhaps three very minor points would make it score 100% positive
1) It would have been good to have more information about the recycling facilities - slightly confusing
2) The bath towels might have been a little nicer as full bath sheets in this day and age
3.) The TV reception is not good and kept on pixellating. Does the aerial need a booster?
Otherwise a totally delightful stay - highly recommended

"When we arrived everything was clean, and ready to."
Use. the property has fabulous views of the estuary and the wildlife was a welcome site.
It's within easy reach of the shops, steam trains. The local bus terminus is less than a five minute walk to be able to get to Portmerion, Barmouth Caernarfon.
My only bad thing about this apartment was that the mattress protector looked as though it hadn't been changed & was in need of washing. (Disapointed) but the property other than that gave us everything we needed. We will use this place again if available and would recommend it to everyone. If you are looking for somewhere without stairs though this is not the place for you as the kitchen & living room are on the 1st floor. Thank.you for a lovely place to stay whilst we were visiting Wales.

"What a fabulous find!"
The owners have really made the most of this apartment with light & bright decor and furnishings and we particularly liked the huge mirror which meant you could appreciate the stunning estuary view even when not looking out of the window! Spotlessly clean, well-equipped and quiet.
Would recommend taking your own comfy outdoor seating if you’re expecting good weather as, understandably given storage space, only folding wooden seats are provided.
We enjoyed watching the tides, waders and steam trains and were lucky enough to spot ospreys passing and hunting for fish.
Would definitely return.

"The location was brilliant, and the view lovely, tho the storage heaters were not working."
We followed the instructions, and still no joy. But we were warm, it would have been better to have the added warmth. Overall a great stay.

"The property is a great place, and we did enjoy our stay so thank you."
It was disappointing there was no teabags or coffee (thought that lacked a personal touch and just a bit of kindness after a long drive). The fridge is very noisy- we had to switch it off one night, it was so loud. The twin bed mattresses could do with changing ( you could hear the springs every time you turned over). One of the bulbs had gone in a lamp in the bedroom. I found it odd the welcome folder was away in the bookcase and had to be searched for?
The actual location of the property is perfect, looking out onto the water, seeing the different wildlife and only a limited number of people, makes for good R&R.

"Smart, comfortable holiday apartment with amazing views."
Balacony is great for relaxing and taking in the wildlife. Shops are only 5 minutes as are the trains. And only a few minutes drive for stunning scenery. Great holiday and everything was to hand

"We really enjoyed our third stay in the property."
It was lovely to see that wonderful view again! A peaceful, comfortable and relaxing place to come back to after walking, travelling on the railway and exploring the area. We’re looking forward to our next visit already.
Thank you very much for your lovely comments. I hope you continue to enjoy our property in the future.

The only downside which did effect our stay was a lack of a smart TV and poor Internet.

"A fabulous week!"
Minor niggles first:
Fridge is tiny for four (even smaller on the inside than it looks in the pictures) but the shops are only five minutes away, so you can just go every day.
Towels are thick but a bit small for people sharing a bathroom and not used to seeing that much flesh.
And then there's the view. Wow. Whatever the weather.
And the location. Great for people with limited mobility to get into town with a walker. The stairs were fine for us all and the shower was great for access.
The kitchen is very well equipped. The frying pan looks new, but the saucepans' teflon has been abused by previous guests. There was a blender, an electric whisk and a cheese grater (often weirdly missing).
Good wardrobes with the most coat hangers ever.
Warm in February. We had the living room heater on one night and didn't need it after that.
Lovely.
Did I mention the view?

"Such a lovely place to stay at we didnt need the facilities or Maintenance person as all was fine when we arrived all was very clean and the view is amazing too."
Sitting on the balcony with either your cuppa first thing in the morning or a glass of wine before it went too dark.
Very central for either driving out to places or the jumping the train.
The only thing was with us was we couldnt find the bins for our rubbish it is mentioned in the welcome book but still couldnt find it that might have been us getting confused on where to look but we just took it out with us on leaving and put it in Tescos big bin.
I would recomend for anyone to stay here a little welcome pack would have been nice when arriving as most seem to do that these days.

"Absolutely fabulous property."
Well laid out and equipped. Using the third bedroom for the kitchen is a great idea. Really spacious and comfortable.
Only downside was I had to clean the kitchen and bathroom floors when we arrived. The bedding is past its best as one of the pillow cases was split.
However, it didn’t distract from our enjoyment of the property and we will be booking again.

"This was our second stay in the property, we were pleased to find the standard of cleaning was excellent this time and the window fastener in the bedroom had also been mended."
It’s a lovely, comfortable place to stay with beautiful views, peaceful but only a short walk to the town. We have already booked again for next year.

"Our first stay in Porthmadog."
No 25 is a comfortable place to stay, tasteful decoration makes the house feel larger than it looks.The view from the French windows is beautiful with lots of bird life and the Ffestiniog railway to watch, really relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of good quality crockery, pans and glassware. The property is really convenient for the shops, cafes and the Ffestiniog railway and lovely coastal walks. We enjoyed our stay and would stay in No 25 again.
The only negative issue for our stay (and we’re not extra picky) was that the floors hadn’t been hoovered in the bedrooms and lounge and the bathroom and hall floors were very dusty and ‘bitty’. The skirting boards and window cills were very dusty and there was also a collection of cigarette ends just outside the door. We gave it all a quick hoover and clean and it didn’t ruin our stay but just wanted to point this out so that the owner can take it up with the cleaning company.
Thank you for your comments, and I am happy that you like the property. It is a lovely place to visit. I am sorry that the property was not as clean as it should be. I will take it up with the cleaning company. I have only just picked up your comments today, because I have been looking for comments in the wrong place. (I am a new owner.) I hope you consider 25 South Snowdon Wharf, Porthmadog for a future holiday. Thanks again for your response.

"This was a save property for us."
We originally went to a beyond-acceptable property, and in the end, the team member from Sykes came and agreed on the unacceptable nature. She was so gracious to take the time to find us a new place to stay.
This property was so nice and clean, with a great location and wonderful views of the estuary.
It worked out nicely as we were closer to the town of Porthmadog and the train, so one can easily walk to the local town, restaurants, and shops and even take the steam train up into the mountains.

"The property itself was beautiful, very comfortable with a gorgeous view."
It was quite well equipped but the only dishes we could find were plastic!
Unfortunately when we arrived it hadn't been cleaned, the cleaners eventually arrived 1.5hrs later and stayed for less than 15 minutes, leaving the bathroom untouched!
I reported this to Sykes on the Monday of our stay and they still haven't had the courtesy of coming back to me.
I have booked with Sykes on numerous occasions but will be very reluctant to do so again.
Whilst it didn't spoil our holiday it did upset us and wasted a few of our precious hours.
I am very sorry that the house had not been cleaned before you arrived, and that you were not happy about the cleaning when they arrived . They have never let me down before. I visited the house on Sunday, after the cleaning company had been, and the house was clean and well presented for the next guests. I am sorry it was not the same for you. The porcelain plates etc. are in the low cabinet next to the cooker. Thank you for choosing my house for your holiday. I hope you will consider us again.
