The apt has been very carefully refurbished to a great standard Everything you need The views and tranquillity were great A central base to explore snowndonia or the Llyn peninsula with beautiful beaches so unspoilt Our favourite walk is Borth-y-Gest from the apt around the harbour then through the foot path and Llanbedrog Disappointed the price to go up Snowdon now and no dogs on the train Noticed no free parking since Covid But hope the parking funds goes to keep the area beautiful. We were blessed with fabulous weather
Perfect location overlooking the harbour at the front and the railway to the back. The views are to die for and the apartment was extremely comfortable. It is a little gem and highly recommended! We will definitely book this property again and for a longer stay.
We enjoyed our stay at Sampson’s place. The bungalow was large airy and had a comfortable feeling. Bed and settee comfortable and clean. It had everything that we needed. Enjoyed the little garden where we filled the bird feeders and watched a variety of birds come to feed. No TV instructions. And if I’m really looking for something to say the kitchen tiles were not particularly clean. This doesn’t bother us as I don’t cook on holiday. The toaster and microwave were fine,
The fact that this was our 33rd stay says it all! The wonderful view is ever changing yet always the same.
A beautiful cottage with everything you need for a break away from everything. Clean and comfortable kitchen and living room and a big garden where my dog was in his element! Only 2 single beds in one room to sleep in though - was a bit of a squeeze for an adult! Nonetheless, a lovely place and a warm welcome.
What an amazing little place with so many traditional features that add to the experience of feeling at one with the views. We used the cottage as a base for doing the zip world events with both sites being under an hour away. The cottage is very homely with a lovely family kitchen to cook and eat in then cosy down in the lounge together with the open fire crackling away. We will be back again
This was our family's 3rd visit to Treetops, so that should tell you they enjoy staying there- and we always visited them. This year 3 octagenarians (parents and uncle of the above) stayed in the Garden flat - suprised how much bigger it is! For us it is like coming home as we owned a property in Borth-y- Gest for 20yrs. We have found this property far superior than any other we have stayed in, in Portmadog which we continue to visit regularly.
This place was ideal for us, modern and spacious . It was very well equipped. Location is perfect for North Wales exploration. Walking distance to caernarfon. I would love to stay here again.
Very spacious, comfortable & well equipped flat. Although just off the high street it was very quiet. Lovely open garden area though we got no use out of it due to the poor weather.
Excellent stay in Snowdonia. Good customer service, cottage was lovely, only regret, not long enough . Thanks
Had a lovely time safe parking for the car great views and very close to all amenities The only downside was the electric shower it literally just dribbles out But that aside we had a lovely time would go again definitely
This is our second time of staying at Treetops. The flat is well equipped and comfortable and you feel like you are at home. Gwen, the owner was very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The flat is perfectly located in Porthmadog, near the Ffestiniog Railway. We look forward to staying again in the future.
The cottage was roomy and very comfortable. The location was stunning, with a large garden and wonderful views.
Another fantastic holiday in a perfect location and accommodation. As always the captains beach house was spotless, cannot wait to come back next year
Lovely house in a good location, very warm and comfortable Parking a bit tight, one of the toilets was very poor at flushing and the other was smelly when door was closed
Amazing Christmas holiday. the house was great and the views beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped and parking space right by the door which was very convenient. The location was superb- walking distance to the beach, the pubs and the shops. We also went on the little steam train- the railway station was a few yards away from the property. Thank you for everything- especially for a welcome present- it was a lovely surprise.
I've been coming to stay at Porthmadog for a good number of years now. All places I've stayed in the town have been great, but this apartment really blows them out of the water. Came to stay here last week for 4 nights, and I strongly consider it THE best place I've stayed at to date. Ridiculously stunning views from the balcony, excellent kitchen utilities, comfy beds, it's got it all. And a really good & fair price to top it off. 10/10 would recommend this property to anyone wanting to spend a holiday here. Great for solo travellers, couples and families! Will definitely be booking it ...more
We had a great stay here, the views are amazing and the location is great with easy access to the forest.
This apartment was in an excellent location for 4 train enthusiasts with stunning views over the harbour. The apartment was well equipped although we were surprised that 'towels' did not include for the kitchen - fortunately my wife had brought some. The negatives we will take away did not spoil our stay but feel they need to be addressed:- The bed in the master bedroom was creaky and both the mattress and pillows have surely seen better days. The socket extension and small shelf at side of the bed were very badly placed and the cable channeling to this socket had come out of the wall with t...more
The shower was faulty, kept turning off and on, meaning hot then freezing. The extractor fan in the shower room did not work. The extractor fan over the cooker did not work, nor did the light. For autumn, even with the storage heaters on, chilly. The tv was fine if you only want to watch BBC1. Surprisingly, able to pick up the other channels on my iPad through the same WiFi connection. Shortage of tea spoons - only 4 in a property advertised for 5 people.
The apartment had everything we needed. Very clean and tidy, with beautiful views over the estuary and the cob. Watching the steam engines coming across from Boston Lodge in the morning was lovely. The only moan from my partner was he forgot his binoculars, being a train buff he suggested some little ones available would have been perfect! We had a fabulous time and can't wait to return again early next year. Thanks for everything STS.
Situated in an isolated wooded setting with a long winding access track through forest this is the perfect quite retreat for those who love nature.
Really clean, lovely and warm having stayed end Nov to 7th Dec when storm Darragh arrived. All electrics worked which was a bonus to others we have stayed, really did feel at home. Lots crockery, glassware, cutlery. A clothes airer would have been ideal for number of days rain we had but that will not put us off staying again. We thoroughly enjoyed. No freezer, no problem you work round it, buying fresh is good! It's a fab place to stay and recommend it!
All great but WiFi poor.2 bathrooms were very handy.It was nice to be able to look out overlooking the river.
Hi, we loved our stay. The views were great, accommodation lovely. There were a couple of things that weren't clean but when I emailed, they were extremely quite to resolve. The sofa wasn't amazingly comfortable, but ok . All in all we loved our time in this accommodation
First impressions:Entrance is at the rear of the property, where the dustbins are and that area could do with a good clean up. Not welcoming. However the apartment, once in, was very clean throughout (a definite plus) though dated but cared for furniture. It was evident the owners look after their property. Excellent view from the floor to ceiling windows. This window showed the position of the apartment in relation to the amenities of Porthmadog. These windows opened easily. (See below). Kitchen was well equipped. Please note the oven door will not stay open when in use if we needed to check ...more
The mill is in a great location for visits to all of the Llyn peninsula and Menai area. We found it to be comfortable and well equipped if a little dark ( not surprising for a converted mill). The inclusion of the fishing passes made us wish we could fish. The rivers are very beautiful in this area we will return soon.
We always stay in the Village as the location is perfect. We always have the same house that backs onto the river. We were sad it was not available this trip. First time staying in this cottage and we were over the moon how beautiful and comfortable it was. We will defo be booking this cottage again.
Cosy ground floor flat with patio door opening onto a small private patio and the promenade (marina residents only). Short walk to town, passing the Ffestiniog/WHR narrow gauge railway station.
This was our second Christmas here and it didn't disappoint. The house is warm and cosy with lovely views. The bathroom had been renovated this year and there was new sofa and chairs adding to the comfort. Porthmadog is an excellent base for touring and we went to Caernarfon, Barmouth and Tremadog. There are a number of pubs and restaurants in the town and we took advantage of many of them. For food the Hen Fecws is particularly good and Y Sqwar in Tremadog.
The only thing I think could be improved would be to rearrange the kitchen cupboards to provide room for food items---we left things on the worktop which was inconvenient & untidy. Apart from that, if you could provide better weather.........!
Charming chalet on the beach. A good size for 4 people. A bit draughty, but we never had the heaters on in late May. Good phone signal (with Vodafone) so lack of WiFi isn't a problem. Very well equipped kitchen. All the things that are often missing that we brought along weren't needed. Despite all the reviews mentioning dogs it didn't smell of dogs. Amazing view.
Fab cottage, although a little dated, but well equipped and the garden is spectacular. We will happily go back. Fantastic location for many thinks and the train line is a must to visit the villages it services.
The accomodation was reaaly nice, clean and tidy. Location is excellent, but a bit awkward to find. The organisors were really friendly and helpfull. Thanx for a wonderfull stay.
We wanted a base within the Snowdonia National Park that offered access to North Wales and easy access to the vicinity. What an amazing find! A beautiful cottage, finished to a wonderful standard with excellent facilities. The games room was a huge hit with my teenagers; pool table and darts being daily activities with a tournament score kept during our stay! Very comfortable, really modern and well equipped. Love the images of the refurbishment in the downstairs wc. Only slight downside is the busy road which gets a little noisy when you want to open the windows but really a minor point...more
It was a great place to stay brilliant view. We went on the railway only a ten minute walk. Easy to get to plenty of place to see. Nice places to eat near by. I would definitely return again if I am in the area.
We stayed at this fantastic house in October 2024. The location is incredible with wonderful sea views and the beach close by. As we have a couple of dogs this was brilliant and we would recommend it for any owners of four legged friends. The house itself is in good condition and was clean on arrival. There were a couple of minor issues with the upkeep of the house itself but nothing to impact the overall enjoyment. There is plenty of space for up to 6 people and separate bathrooms and toilets is a major bonus. Overall we would recommend this property to any family looking to explore North W...more
Very well furnished apartment tastefully decorated.The panoramic view that literally blew our mind as if an artist painted all that outstanding beauty.Could sit and stare at it for hours no end. The only thing that needs to be improved is the patio area.It has got potential to look much better. Would certainly come back to this lovely haven of charm and quiet
The property was reasonably clean, but the fabric of the property was very tired. Unable to find any instructions for the cooker and unable to work one of the ovens. Considering the standard would not stay there again.
We really enjoyed our stay in Green cottage .It was a perfect home to return to each day after exploring the wonderful local area. It’s a warm,comfortable home in a perfect location. Thank you for letting us stay ,we will definitely be returning to Borth y gest and would book again if the house is available.
This cottage is in an amazing location and ideal for enjoying walks around the forest. The drive up to the cottage was a bit harder than expected - taking us about 25 minutes in no more than 2nd gear! (in a Honda Jazz). The cottage was warm, Wifi worked, cooking facilities ok, good shower, and bed comfortable. The downsides were: 1. It could have been cleaner - used towel on back of bedroom door, undies left in bedside drawer and small stain on sheet. Cobwebs round windows. Bath mat looked dirty. 2. Left front ring on gas hob will not stay lit 3. DVD player not working 4. Fridge/free...more
The flat is well equipped and in a splendid location - we keep coming back! It is always clean and well-presented. The long anticipated bathroom upgrade would be welcome. STS staff were as helpful as ever - many thanks.
Would have been really great to be able use the fire place as we found the downstairs quite cold. The water was also turned off when we arrived and we couldn't find it in the instructions. We did look around and luckily found the outdoor tap to turn it on. If we could have used the fire place or the house would have been warmer our whole stay would have been much more cosier and nicer.
Thoroughly enjoyed the short break in this ideal location. Have been to this area many times and have always had a lovely stay. Hopefully will be back again soon.
