  • "Our second visit to Wenallt and we definitely hope to visit again."

    It is a truly delightful house with everything we could possibly have wanted. Beautifully furnished with extremely comfortable beds and a huge kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and every kind of kitchen gadget and appliance and with a large table for family meals. There is a large, comfortable and cosy living room and a very impressive dining room and so many interesting books in every room. All the rooms at the front have fantastic views over Porthmadog harbour and to the mountains beyond - we could never tire of the wonderful view. There is a beautiful garden at the back with several levels where you can sit and relax, again with extensive views. The house was extremely clean and welcoming on our arrival and having bread and milk provided, as well as a bottle of wine and other treats, was very useful after a long journey. The owner has done so much to make guests feel welcome and make sure everything you could possibly need for a thoroughly enjoyable holiday is provided. Parking outside the house was easy and it is a short walk to Porthmadog Harbour and High Street. Our family had a wonderful holiday there and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

    The views are quite magical with the Mountains, Harbour and Steam Trains. I love the dying light reflecting on the Mountains and a Full Moon on the sea. My cleaning ladies will be delighted with your feedback and Aly Best my gardener. The customer comes first and thank you for choosing us again. Property Owner

  • "This is a beautiful house with bags of character and exceptional views."

    The property was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Many thoughtful touches in the house (including fresh flowers). The steps to the garden are very steep (as stated in the property description) but it’s a lovely place to sit. The photos don’t do justice to the breadth of views from the mountains to the sea. Location is great, a short walk from the shops and everything but being set just above the town it feels very peaceful. Thank you Andrew for the warm welcome and for a wonderful stay. We will miss those views!

    A well known travel books has said the views from the Terrace are among the best in Wales. The Mountains, Harbour and Steam Trains. I love a full moon reflecting on the sea. You are always welcome back. Property Owner

  • "An amazing house."

    Beautifully updated to allow the house to speak for itself. Wooden/slate floors, open fireplace in the front room (already to light), stunning dining room, modern kitchen with all the gadgets you could wish for, sypathetically installed to give a traditional feel. Upstairs 3 bedrooms (two double one twin) all very comfy with beautiful views - and warm! Garden was lovely, wild & fragrant, had stunning views and various levels to sit at, but extremely steep (as stated). Was worth the climb - the back bedroom had a door leading directly out to the garden so avoiding the lowest set of steps! A lovely welcome on arrival with a note from the owner & various goodies to eat/drink. Location very good, easy walk into the town & to Borth y Gest & wonderful views of the harbour, train and mountains. All in all a fab place, superb location & great holiday. Thank you so much.

    Please you had a happy time at Wenallt and enjoyed the views. Yes, walking access to town and the steam railway. Aly Best the Gardener will be happy with the positive feedback. Thank you for choosing us and you are always welcome back. Property Owner

  • "We loved this dog friendly house, the holiday begins with an explore of the listed building and tiered garden (steep steps up as stated in description) with wonderful views."

    All the modern facilities you would expect, but in a house that beautifully reflects its past in its style and furnishings. There were some welcome gifts on our arrival and provision for milk tea and coffee .The wifi works well and the owner provides a range of streaming services including Disney. The kitchen has a wonderful slate floor and a family sized table complete with all mod cons including a double Ninja air fryer. Two bathrooms, one upstairs, traditional with a bath (separate toilet) and a modern downstairs shower room with toilet. In the kitchen, the owner has put together a purple information book about the house, area and kitchen utilities. Though the house is set on a hillside, heading left and down, steps down mean that you can be in the Porthmadog Harbour area in less than 5 minutes, or heading right and up the road from the house you can soon access the Welsh Coastal Path with walks to sandy beaches. Porthmadog is a great base for the Snowdonia National Park, heritage railway (less than 10 minutes walk), North Wales coast, including Anglesey and Conwy. I also recommend a visit to the Amber Falls whiskey distillery and the spectacular Amber Falls waterfall. I think this review indicates we would definitely like to return to Wenallt in the future.

  • "Lovely old house with beautiful views."

    Very well equipped and comfortable. Four adults, a baby and two dogs - we had plenty of room. The garden is very steep and the steps are difficult but the back bedroom has easier access to the garden via a door and bridge. The views are stunning. The garden is not suitable for children however, the house is on a quiet road and turning right as you exit the house there is a pleasant walk to the beach and cliff walks. Easy walk to the shops and railway but you cannot fail to linger and admire the stunning views of the Welsh mountains and pretty town below. Owner Andy very pleasant and accommodating and quickly answered a minor query. Thank you for the generous welcome pack.

    Thank you for such positive feedback and yes the views are breath taking. Pleased you found the local beach walk. You are always welcome back. Property Owner

    You can tell the owner has put his heart into this property. It was like a real home. I’ve never seen such a well equipped kitchen with bread maker, air fryer and coffee machines. The beds were super comfy. Lovely fluffy towels. Thank you for the personalised welcome note and chocs, wine, scones, milk and bread. Much appreciated. Though cold I did sit in the garden with a cuppa and enjoyed the elevated views. Nice little areas of seating to enjoy with warmer weather. Garden very steep as described. As it was colder we enjoyed the open fire in the living room with plenty of logs and coal provided. Perfectly situated for a fantastic week enjoying the Welsh Highland Railway, Betys-y-coed, Borth-y-gest, Criccieth, Glaslyn Ospreys, so much to do that we’d love to come back again here.

  • "We absolutely loved Wenallt!"

    It is one of the most beautiful holiday homes we've ever stayed in. From the original features and fittings to the book and art collection, it's a delight to stay in. As well as the aspect and proximity to the high street, pubs etc. and some fantastic coastal walks! The photos do NOT do it justice - particularly the bedrooms, which are really attractive and comfortable, and nicer than they appear on the website. Improvements - you could fit more seating into the lounge to suit a house that sleeps 6. Some larger pots and pans - no big sautee pan, just the one big saucepan.

    Thank you for your feedback. I have had new beds , better quality linen, power shower and done the rooms up. I shall be passing Dunelm in Bangor and will get the items. Customer comments allow me to further improve the customer experience. Delight you had a fun time and you are always welcome back. Property Owner

    We arrived to a lovely welcome pack (milk, bread, biscuits, chocs and wine!). The cottage has everything (and more) you need for a stay - foodies will love the kitchen. There is an open fire and log burning oven. I challenge anyone to find a library as good as Wenallt’s in a holiday cottage on the planet!!! This is the perfect base for walkers, foodies, etc - very cosy for a restorative autumn/winter break as well as an active spring/summer holiday. Perfect for access across the peninsula, the national park and beyond. Criccieth, Harlech, Pwyheli, and Abersoch are a stones throw away. Loved our stay and we will be back!

    The views from the front of the house over to the cob across the sea, steam railway and mountains are special whatever time of day or night you take a look. No trouble parking outside the property on the road which makes unloading and packing up much easier. The house was nice, comfortable beds with sea views from the two front bedrooms. The garden was lovely but not suitable for young children or people with mobility problems. Large kitchen with table and chairs plus a great dining room. Would book again for next year but the week we want is already taken.

The view overlooking the marina and out into the estuary with the hills beyond was fantastic and not something you would ever tire of waking up to. Porthmadog itself has everything you need, high street stores but also local craft shops as well as a nice selection of delis, cafes, restaurants and friendly pubs most serving generous servings of the 'classics' often with a twist. (*We stayed a little out of season so it's worth checking before you go that the kitchens are open, it's not necessarily the case every night). Location wise you're ideally placed to explore the local area, Portmeirion is literally over the headland, the costal path will take you to Criccieth the other way or, when the tide is out, you can follow the stunning beaches all the way. Snowdon, Beddgelert, Harlech and Bala are all as short drive away and the Llyn Peninsular is there to explore. All in all, just perfect for us and we would absolutely recommend staying. Special thanks to Andrew for his generosity and welcome.
