  • "This is a beautiful apartment in a perfect location."

    It has a very well organised kitchen with every utensil you need. This open plan kitchen / living room has plenty of room to cook, dine and relax together. The bedrooms are light and the beds are extremely comfortable.The views are beautiful. We enjoyed watching the steam trains across the Cob and looking across the ever changing estuary to the mountains. It was a joy to watch the ducks and other seabirds. Just step outside onto the pretty harbour, the steam train station and a lovely town. We will return and can't wait to go back.

  • "The property is small and only big enough for 3 people."

    The beds and bedding were lovely and bathroom too. Upstairs was small, kitchen had plenty of equipment, in fact everything you could need. The settee is so uncomfortable might be ok for taller people. View is amazing and is why the property is so expensive considering its size. Lovely area too.

  • "This is a perfect relaxing,holiday house."

    The views from the balcony are constantly changing, we spent lots of time just watching the tide changes. The situation is very convenient with several train stations. Supermarkets, Pubs and restaurants all within easy walking distance. Plenty of beaches a short drive away. A lovely holiday

  • "Very well equipped and comfortable."

    Could not get satellite TV to work. If this is no longer available the blue folder needs to be amended. Could only get wifi to work on 4G phone. Unable to connect via laptop or tablets. We presume that this is because Three are 'decommissioning' 3G access, but it was somewhat frustrating and might be worth mentioning to prospective visitors Loved the view and proximity to steam trains.

    Thank you for the feedback . We have been aware of a problem with WiFi etc but from 30/06/23 we have installed fibre and hopefully no longer need satellite . Greatly improved speeds are now available which should also improve the smart TV Netflix Prime etc if you should choose to use it . Property Owner

    Everything to hand giving us a great holiday. We had to tear ourselves from the floor to ceiling view across the bay every time we left to visit anywhere. We will be back!

  • "A lovely, relaxing place to stay!"

    It’s in a great location for exploring the area on foot, by public transport or by car. The views from the lounge and balcony are fabulous, whatever the weather, with the added interest of the tides and steam trains. We’d be very happy to return!

  • "Thank you for an unforgettable stay."

    Lovely place, very warm, comfortable and really well equipped. The location is amazing, close to all facilities and the view from the balcony is fantastic - it's probably the best feature about Aber Wharf. The only negative is the temperamental WIFI. I needed the internet for work and had to purchase a BT Wi-Fi access - not something I expected to do given the price of Aber Warf.

    Thank you for your mostly positive review The WiFi problem was unfortunate . The Wi-Fi internet is usually stable . I wonder if they were working on the mast . We are considering upgrading to Fibre . Property Owner

    Seeing the estuary fill and empty twice a day with the accompanying birdlife and fish is fantastic. The constant Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland trains visible from the balcony or kitchen window is great. One of our favourite places.

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Aber Wharf."

    It exceeded our expectations. The property is modern, spacious and lets in lots of light, even on the duller days. It's extremely well equipped; if so inclined, you could make a full meal at the property. The beds are comfortable and the linen is clean and fresh. The views from the balcony overlook the estuary so you have a wonderful view of the Ffestiniog Railway trains as well as the little egrets and oystercatchers that frequent the area. We would certainly return in the future.

  • "Excellent layout with everything you would need for a relaxing stay."

    The location of the property is about as good as you can get for all the facilities of Porthmadog, in particular the railway which we took advantage twice during the week.

  • "Aber Wharf is perfectly situated with the Ffestiniog and Welsh mountain railway on the doorstep."

    Portmeirion is a short driveway as well as Harlech Castle and beach. Porthmadog itself has good shops and facilities and everyone met were friendly and helpful. The property has a lovely view from the balcony and the kitchen is well equipped. Unfortunately there was an unpleasant musty/damp smell in the bedroom nearest the car park and no room for a wardrobe. Car parking was ok, but South Snowden Wharf itself is a little run down.

  • "Great property in a location we have been to many times."

    Amazing walks and plenty to do even though the weather wasn’t so great. Would recommend and go again. A little more expensive than other flats in the area but very well equipped, clean and with a good kitchen explains the price.

  • "Lovely charming property."

    The wide angled lens used to take the photos is deceptive. The bedrooms are pretty small and the double bed is tiny. However when it comes to the balcony the photos simply don’t do it justice. It’s GORGEOUS. It’s bigger than the photos. The four of us often sat out there. The view is uninterrupted beauty. I will miss it. The small double bed was worth it just for the balcony. Overall a lovely property in a prime location. Lovely community of neighbours as well.

  • "The house was immaculate and it felt very clean and safe to stay there."

    It is in a great spot with fantastic views across the estuary - always something going on, on the water. Lovely and peaceful. Very handy for shops and food (will be much better once eating in restrictions are lifted this week in restaurants). Kitchen is beautifully done and well supplied apart from the tiny fridge - which made it difficult to buy in much and we would have preferred a king size bed but that's just what we're used to. Really enjoyed our stay and would definately recommend.

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.
