A beautifully positioned two bedroomed, ground floor south facing apartment on Oakley Wharf, Porthmadog with stunning views across Porthmadog Harbour and Snowdonia Mountains beyond.

Great place to stay with amazing views of harbour

A quiet well appointed 2 bed apartment, amazing views, comfortable and warm, quiet location in central Porthmadog. Beds are comfy, kitchen well appointed. Bathroom could do with an update as well no internet as yet. EE mobile network seems the best overall signal getting 5g indoors and over 140MBps, so if you are coming with kids who need internet to keep them happy if it is raining all week then that is the best network to be on. I was told I would get a message with the key code for the key safe, but that never arrived, and the keys were just left in the unlocked key safe, so something to be aware of.

Had a fantastic stay here, the views are amazing. The flat is so warm and comfy to come back to after wintery rainy walks! We loved seeing the tides change across the harbour and estuary and watching the waders, egrets and cormorants. Flat was very well equipped and beds really comfy. Great to have a parking space right next to the flat as well. Lovely place thank you :-)

Location, location, location says it all. We came back and stayed longer!

The improvements to the kitchen fittings and refreshing of cutlery are appreciated - love the new clock! There are hints that Wi-Fi is coming and the bathroom is to be modernised, this will make a good holiday property an excellent one.

Finally, a word of thanks to STS staff who even took the trouble to advise us that, with cleaning complete, we could access the property early. Good service indeed.

Lovely property, in a lovely location, fantastic views of the mountains and harbour. In a good central location for local shops and restaurants, try Spooners bar on the harbour , nice food and lovely steam train spotting beer garden. Property needs bathroom update, but this is planned I believe, so once this is done will be perfect. Also very helpful when I contacted them asking for an early check in due to arriving on the train , would book again definitely.

We keep coming back! We like the location and the flat is always clean and well-presented.
However, attention to detail is lacking.
Along with other reviewers, I have previously mentioned the broken under-sink refuse bin. Effectively bottomless, this is unhygienic. The owner promised last year to provide a replacement but nothing has been done.
In a property sleeping four there are only three cups and saucers! Luckily there are seven mugs, albeit in four styles. Last year welcome new cutlery appeared, but there are now only three desert spoons and three soup spoons (plus an odd one).
The kitchen clock is not working. I tried a new battery of my own without success. Please get a new clock or at least take the old one away!
The bathroom would benefit from a new suite, fitting modern taps would be an improvement. The bathroom Venetian blind needs replacing or supplementing with something more cheerful, such as a pretty roller blind.
Lack of WiFi was once an irritant but is now a big drawback when staying in this property.
Finally, while understandable during the pandemic, guests should no longer be expected to strip the beds on departure.

We booked here for a stay over Easter, location is great, nestled in a nice corner of Porthmadog, ideal for exploring the local area, short walk to a beach and various shops.
Unfortunately the flat is in need of some modernisation, the bedrooms were tired and hard to warm up, the kitchen had been replaced recently and worked well, the bathroom was in a poor state, on our second day the shower stopped working, we called the agent who responded very quickly, arriving in person to look at the issue but they were only able to advise not to use it. 4 days on an active holiday without the use of a shower was far from ideal. We ended up coming back a day early just so we could get clean.
When they sort the bathroom and the bedrooms this will be an ideal flat for a break.

A good convenient location which we enjoy. Some attention to detail still needed, requires new kitchen bin and outside light, and wifi would be useful.



A lovely spot on the harbour

A lovely spot on the harbour and the flat generally nice, clean and tidy. (Though it did have a musty odour) The main kitchen bin needs replacing though - it currently has a flattened Wheetabix box as the only base, which kept falling out. Think it a bit strange that’s regarded as acceptable. It was also quite a pain having no access at all to WiFi, so wouldn’t recommend staying here if that’s something that’s regularly needed.

We have stayed at this apartment before as it is in a good location right on the harbourside, with lovely views. The ground floor accommodation and parking space are suitable for elderly relatives. Quiet but within easy walking distance of the shops. Would recommend this place to friends and relatives as there are some nice drives out along the coast on inland into the mountains.

An enjoyable stay in a lovely location, STS staff helpful as ever.

Flat needs a little attention to detail - patio door curtains need repair or replacement, new under-sink bin needed. Also, it would be nice to have a working clock and a working outside light. In this day and age WiFi should be provided.

Nevertheless, we have booked again for September!
