If you fancy a relaxing, seaside holiday then look no further than this rather special, duplex villa with views across the harbour mouth and Ballast island.

Loveley relaxing holiday. Stayed at Sailing Home many times over 50 years with different owners. Best position on Snowdon Wharf. Get the bi-fold doors open and relax on sun trap balcony

This is our 2nd time at sailing house. A group of us get together for bygones weekend every year and our usual place wasn't available.
This is always an excellent 2nd choice
The rooms are spacial and well laid out. My only issue and this is for every place I stay is there never any sharp knives for cooking.
Also on this occasion we had no TV as the signal was non existent but we put that down to the incredible weather we had.

Highly recommended sailing house.

We absolutely loved our week in Porthmadog at Sailing Home. The house has beautiful views over the estuary and you can spend hours just sitting on the balcony watching cormorants, egrets, herons, gulls, ducks and swallows and boat traffic. The sounds of the nearby steam railway also adds to the charm. The house is very comfortable, with lovely sesasidey decor and extremely well equipped. From comfortable beds, binoculars, books and games to beach mats, spades and crabbing lines, everything has been thought of. Porthmadog high street is a few minutes walk. Lots of crafty shops, cafes, bakers, takeaways and large Tesco a 15min walk or few minute drive. A great base to explore the Llyn peninsular and surrounding area. Our favourite beach was at Harlech 20mins away and we loved seeing the Ospreys at a local reserve. Lots of local historic castles Carnarvon particularly impressive.



Beautiful place to stay with all you could wish for

An excellent place to stay very well equipped and views to die for.but more for the able bodied because of the stairs.

The property wasn't huge (not that I expected it to be) but it had 3 bedrooms. It was very clean overall, apart from the shower, which I ended up cleaning myself. These things do happen and it didn't upset me. Parking for the house was outside the front door.
The location and views were superb. I really enjoyed walking to the beach where I was able to swim on a daily basis. The walk took me 35 minutes each way, however, the views were spectacular so it was enjoyable in its own right. We had a good holiday overall.

Great position for local beauty spots and also convenient for local pubs restaurants and shops.
Great local walks from the door and lovely views from the balcony.
Generally very comfortable accommodation although a better shower and cubicle size would be better especially when 5 people are staying.
However my wife and I have stayed here annually for the last 5 years mostly on our own and that speaks for itself!

We have just been fortunate enough to have two weeks of almost constant sunshine in North Wales which enhanced our enjoyment of our holiday but even if the weather had been rainy Sailing Home was the perfect place to stay. A lot of thought has gone into every aspect of the apartment from two loos to kitchen equipment to cushions and everything in between. The only thing I would mention is that there is a higher than usual step into the shower, this caused me some problems but wouldn’t affect anyone able bodied. The other great plus is that Porthmadog itself seems to have recovered from Covid restrictions, there are lots of great places to eat and watch the world go by and, of course, all the attractions of the area to visit.



Wonderful Holiday apartment

Another fantastic week in Sailing Home. Great views of the estuary from the balcony, just watching the world go by with a glass of wine. Although without cushions the rattan patio seats get uncomfortable after a while.

Shops, pubs & bars are a few minutes walk away, whilst Spooners bar/resturant is even closer, perfect for watching the trains go by.
The apartment is always spotlessly clean.

Smart TV and good WiFi as Freeview TV receiption on South Snowdon Wharf & Porthmadog area in general can be a bit hit & miss and has reduced number of channels.

The views are stunning, the house is comfortable, (just two of us) well equipped and well located. It's possibly a little small, but having stayed on South Snowdon Wharf previously we knew what to expect.
We found lots to do in the area, plan to return in the future and would not hesitate to recommend Sailing Home. Its unusual nowadays for towels not to be supplied and we would hope the owners consider providing them.

We have self catered for many years and this is one of the very few which were almost faultless. The house felt like a well loved holiday home, not filled with hand me down furniture and the like. Everything was to hand and obviously a lot of thought had gone into the decoration and furnishing . We lived our stay here and would highly recommend it.



Fabulous place, and a fabulous location!

Fabulous place, and a fabulous location!
This was our fourth visit to the sailing home, and as always we had a wonderful time.

It is a beautiful, bright apartment, very well equipped with everything that you could need. Comfortable, cosy and superbly located with stunning views over the harbour. The balcony gets the Sun in the late afternoon and early evening, so it is beautiful to sit out in the evening.

Right next to the Ffestiniog Railway and the best crabbing spots. Black Rock Sands Beach a few minutes away by car and also the stunning Portmeirion..

We cannot wait to come back for our fifth visit to the sailing home.



It was perfect in every way.

Very peaceful property close to all amenities and great place as a base for visiting Snowdonia. We have stayed four times here previously and love the property and location but disappointed this time with the cleanliness when we arrived.

We have stayed at this property several times, finding everything about it wonderful.
It's well situated, with amazing views, close to all the amenities and peaceful at night.
I would recommend it to everyone who wants to share in our beautiful Welsh scenery.

The apartment had everything that we needed for our visit, the kitchen is well-equipped and there are throws and cushions for added comfort. The bed was comfortable. The fridge/freezer had plenty of storage space. The decking area has a nice range of chairs and a table for the perfect relaxing spot after walks/cycle rides. The Wifi worked really well.
The location was brilliant, beautiful views from the decking area and a really quiet spot. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a great secret holiday location which I would like to keep to myself. The sea view is amazing and the patio gets the sun from noon to evening. You can walk to Tesco’s and Cadwalladers. We also walked to Borth Y Gest and drove to Cricceth and Portmerion.
