We booked Harbour escape for four nights. Out initial impression on walking in was positive. The best point being the location. The scenic view of the yachts and harbour and the mountains in the background from the patio door was very nice.
Although the apartment had been cleaned and prepared it was not a thorough preparation. Two empty plastic hand soap dispensers on the shower/loo washbasin. Salt and pepper grinders both virtually empty. No kitchen paper towel roll in the worktop holder. We couldn't find any cling film or cooking foil. The sofa, although not grubby, needed cleaning. My wife dropped some coins down the back of the sofa cushions and noticed the back was full of crumbs. The bedside torch had flat batteries. The hot and cold taps on the kitchen sink and the washroom basin are the wrong way round and the hot water tap pressure is very low, due to the low head of the gravity fed system. Ideally needs a modern well insulated unvented cylinder. We were continually heating up the immersion heater which was not helped by the poor lagging on the hot water cylinder.
The above did not spoil our holiday but meant we shopped for items that we would have not expected to have had to do.
Car parking, which is directly outside the apartment, has tight allocated spaces, especially if your car is on the larger side.
The location is ideal for walking access to the town centre and for costal walks. We enjoyed a 4.5 mile walk to Black Rock Sands and caught the bus back to Porthmadog. Overall we had a very pleasant break and would recommend the apartment especially if the low cost items were provided and the apartment had been more thoroughly prepared.

In spite of a mixed week of changeable Autumn weather, every day was a joy at Harbour Escape. With a mix of steam trains, tides, mountains and wildfowl to observe from the apartment window we found it difficult to find a reason to go out. The facilities were clean and comfortable and provided everything we needed - with one exception! After a week of struggling with the TV satellite system, we still only achieved a couple of channels which cut out every so often. We did however come away more rested having watched less TV!



Glorious view of harbour and mountain hinterland, modern amenities and great walks from your doo
