This attractive ground floor harbour-side flat on South Snowdon Wharf has the most tranquil southerly views of the estuary and Snowdonia mountains from the living room and one bedroom.

A very restful stay.

I stayed for a few days with my young son. He said it was the most comfortable bed he had ever slept in. Mine was comfortable too. The flat has everything you need and is in a great location - easy walk into town or the beach. It is very small so might not be great for 4 adults, but was just right for us. We were there for the steam trains, which are just round the corner and there are lots of things to do nearby. My only complaint was all the knives are blunt - so bring your own and the information folder in the flat could do with updating.
It was a very restful stay and nice to be in the town with fabulous views of the countryside.

Nothing fancy to see here, but a comfy enough small flat in an *excellent* location.
Bed sheets provided, but not towels.

Our fourth visit to this lovely little flat. After reading recent reviews we were apprehensive about what we would find but these comments have obviously been noted and acted on because the flat was bright, clean, tidy and welcoming. There were a few small things that would be easy fixes and would make a big difference - the bathroom floor is badly stained and not pleasant, it needs replacing or at the least a really good clean; the sofa is serviceable but along with the carpets and cushions could do with a deep clean, there is a strong aroma of dirt and age plus animals, the whiff was overpowering at times; a new vacuum cleaner, it hadn't been emptied for a very long time, we emptied it but it still just pushed the dirt around. Apart from these minor niggles the flat was everything we needed for a pleasant and comfortable stay. And last but by no means least, the best bit of the flat by far is the wonderful view. Absolutely stunning as ever. We will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay
excellent location the views were magnificent the weather was fabulous
a few minor grumbles but nothing major
we will visit again this little flat has everything you need to have a fabulous holiday even down to an ironing board ….. that’s if you need it while on holiday I would give 5 * but bathroom needs a safety handle or something in the shower as it is very slippery when wet we will book again

The location was great. We have stayed in two other apartments in the past along the estuary side, but this apartment was a disappointment.
The main problems were in the double bedroom (we didn't use the second bedroom). There were no curtains, just a blind that didn't fit allowing light to flood into the bedroom and being on the ground floor people walking by could see in through the gaps. There was mould on the wall behind the bed and also dust and cobwebs complete with spider. The carpet was dirty (also in the hall). The shower room had a very noisy faulty extractor fan, the MDF toilet seat was chipped. The door could not be opened fully and banged into the toilet seat (obviously nothing could be done about this). We decided to inform STS of the problems and the agent came round quickly and sorted the blind, the mould/dust and the toilet seat was replaced. The fan was oiled but became noisy again quite quickly.
The other problems which couldn't be resolved straight away were in the living room. The settee springs/foam was worn out and uncomfortable, the numbers on the temperature control on the cooker had worn off completely.
Although we wouldn't stay in this apartment again, we would use STS again as they responded quickly and have always been efficient with regards to our bookings.

This flat is in a perfect position. The views over the Harlech are stunning and the convenience of being so near the town of Porthmadog it’s great. It is let down by a number of small things which could be easily improved.

The furnishings are tired although acceptable. Likewise, the kitchen equipment. Some of the mugs were so stained that I just threw them away and replaced them, hidden areas needed a deeper clean for instance the dehumidifier needed to be emptied and the filter needed to be hoovered. The cutlery drawer under the container for the cutlery was grubby. The window in the small bedroom couldn’t be opened, we didn’t get round to reporting this as unfortunately we had to leave early because of illness. The mattress on the bed in there was also very tired.

We had a lovely holiday, the location of this flat is superb with its fantastic views and location to the amenities, trains and buses. However the flat itself is a dated, bathroom lino needed replacing as all yellow around the toilet area. We had to clean the patio windows when we got there to be able to see the lovely view. bedrooms and kitchen well equipt. It would be good to have instructions on where to put the rubbish for collection and recycling, instead of having to ask a neighbour.




The view made everything worth while

Small, but adequate, things like cooker need updating , no towels were a pain.
However the views were absolutely unbelievable and the proximity to the town and walks really good.

Our third stay in this apartment. As our main interest is narrow gauge railways the situation is ideal and even on bad days the ever changing view over the estuary is magnificent.



Perfect location however the apartment needs some attention.

Great location wonderful views. The apartment needs some attention. The shower, the kitchen appliances like the oven need to be upgraded.
An manual explaining how things work in the apartment should be provided for guests.
