  • "Do not hesitate to book this immaculate property."

    From the moment you step through the door, the apartment is warm, cosy and inviting. Furnished in light, airy colours. Welcome pack for hot drinks, milk and Welsh sweet treats was unexpected but very much appreciated after a long drive. Spotlessly clean with everything that we wanted for a short family break in November for 3 generations. Super views across the harbour, next door to the Maritime Museum, opposite the Heritage Railway - what more is there to say? A couple of minutes from the coastal path to Borth y Gest and onwards to Morfa Bychan and Criccieth. 5 minutes drive to Tesco for shopping needs. Well equipped kitchen and parking for 2 cars. A much needed and relaxing, stress -free break. Thank you.

    We couldn’t ask for better feedback. thank you so much, it’s made our day knowing you all enjoyed your stay at Harbour View and the Porthmadog area. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such lovely comments. We hope to welcome you all back sometime. Bob & Ramona Property Owner

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful apartment."

    It was very clean, well equipped and the under floor heating was wonderful, at this time of year! (Feb '23). Everything was of excellent quality with attention to detail. From fluffy white towels, lovely bed linen, welcome basket (inc chocolate, Welsch cakes, milk, tea & coffees). Sorry to say, there are a couple of negatives. We arrived at night and struggled to find the flat as it was dark (maybe a sign in the lit under pass, where the gates are, would help? We eventually found it, but walking on pebbles to get to the flat, was cumbersome with luggage and noisy. We felt there was lack of privacy in the evening, when the lights were on, due to only voiles at the balcony door & kitchen windows. Other than that, fabulous!

    We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Oakleys and really appreciate all of your comments . We have already acted and given clearer arrival instructions in the property directions which we hope helps future guests arriving at night to find the property, admittedly something we hadn’t thought about. Also are considering adding curtains during the winter months, but we want to create a light airy feel to the apartment. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback.

  • "Generally the apartment was ok."

    Would benefit from a washing machine which we found disappointing. Also outside looking quite dated, neighbouring apartments were quite run down. We also found the apartment quite small and beds too soft and uncomfortable. Neighbourhood shops had very early loadings and unloading. The apartment backed onto these. Also lots of dogs around hence barking. It didn’t impact on our stay too much as we were out most of the time. Just thought the cost didn’t really fit the apartment.

    Thank you for your feedback. The Oakleys apartment is situated on the harbour front, close to local restaurants and shops. Fresh daily deliveries are vital. We are sorry these deliveries disturbed your stay. We decided to include a dishwasher over a washing machine as this would be of more benefit to our guests. All our mattresses are orthopaedic and were expensive. We are very sorry they were not to your liking. Constructive feedback is very important to us and we appreciate your comments.

    Would definitely stay there again. Ramona was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. I have sensitivity to perfumes and cleaning products and she did everything to accommodate this. She reassured me by phone before arrival about the product situation at the accommodation. Although there is no way of totally avoiding all this stuff (such as residue from washing powder on the beds and soft furnishings - this stuff really clings!) it was as good as I was going to get anywhere. More places should adopt her eco-friendly approach. I was so pleased to have found this place as several others I had contacted used a cocktail of toxic products. It was great there was no washing machine too, so no previous occupants using washing powder. Though we overran our departure time (although we had been up since 7am packing up!), this was not a problem for her when she arrived. Thank you Ramona.

    Thank you for such positive feedback Vanessa. We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay at the Oakleys and look forward to welcoming you back soon. We try very hard to accommodate our guests wishes. Being as eco friendly as possible is one of our priorities. So many people have allergies including myself so I’m aware how difficult it can be to find the right accommodation. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Ramona Property Owner

    Very clean and comfortable. Only 2 points of improvement- it got quite hot at night so a fan to put in the bedroom may have been nice. Secondly, the drainage of the shower is not very good and could spill over if not careful. We had to keep turning shower off to let it drain and turn back on again. We also noticed in the living room when we arrived that some of the windows were cracked and not sure if owner is aware. We would definitely consider coming back though and wish we could have stayed longer.

    Thank you for leaving such lovely feedback, we are so glad the weather was sunny for your stay, we have taken your advice and there will be a fan in the property for future guests. The shower has been checked and it will not overflow, this will be replaced at the end of the season. We are aware of the cracked windows and are currently waiting for the property committee to give us the go ahead to have these replaced as they need to be in keeping with the area and other properties.

The property

Overlooking lovely views of the Porthmadog harbour is a well-presented first-floor apartment, resting on a tranquil residential area, with the bustling town centre in reach.

Harbour View is an ideal resting base for a group of four or small families to relish in the delights of the Welsh coast.

Enter into a stunning apartment building, making your way up a flight of stairs to the first floor as you feel welcomed by this homely flat, boasting two charming bedrooms and an open-plan living area.

After a day of adventure, settle down in the snug lounge area, cosying up on one of the plush sofas as the Smart TV entertains you, or open the lovely french doors and sit and enjoy watching beautiful sunsets over the harbour whilst enjoying a well earned drink after a day exploring.

Let the chef of the group take charge as they prepare a delicious home-cooked meal in the amply-equipped kitchen, boasting contemporary amenities and access to a fabulous Juliette balcony.

Meals can be enjoyed on the intimate dining table, as you look out towards the far-reaching coastline with a glass of wine in hand.

Choose between two welcoming bedrooms, a master king-size and a twin room, both offering ample storage and access to a sleek family shower room, with a sumptuous walk-in shower to prepare for the day ahead.

The excitement of Porthmadog town centre is right on the property's doorstep, take a stroll into the wide range of shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants, offering everything you need for a self-catered stay, all in walking distance.

Visit the world's oldest narrow gauge dating back 200 years at the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Steam Railways, a 13½-mile voyage from Porthmadog harbour to the slate-quarrying town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, travelling over awe-inspiring views of Eryri (Snowdonia) throughout coastlines, mountains, woodland and castles.

Enjoy a fun-filled day at Black Rock Sands, a unique beach which has been named a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or spend a day meandering throughout Borth-y-Gest village centre, with easy access to ancient castles at Criccieth, Harlech and Caernarfon.

Adventurous types will delight in a day trip to the beautiful Llyn Peninsula, here you can try your luck at a range of watersports at Abersoch and Aberdaron, from wakeboarding, waterskiing, sailing, powerboating, windsurfing, and fishing.

Other fantastic attractions nearby include the dreamy Italianate village of Portmeirion, Morfa Bychan beach, and a whole host of boating, biking, climbing opportunities, as well as breath-taking scenic country and coastal walks at the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

With so much to do, Harbour View is a perfect choice for a coastal retreat.

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.
