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



Great views

The location is superb. Plenty of road side free parking. As it’s a basement apartment it has a very pungent damp smell, the apartment is also quite tired with soft furnishings, Bedding ripped and no pillow protectors which we noticed when we stripped the beds. The pillows really need replacing. There was also a huge amount of hair and dust under the sofa which we noticed when our dog lost his tennis ball underneath. Not sure i would rush back in it’s current state

All in all we had a good two week stay. We feel the place needs a fresh lick of paint now, along with a new mat in the kitchen. The TV could do with being tuned in properly without it falling on the holiday makers to do it themselves. The scenery is fantastic as always but I feel the bathroom needs updating too.



As advetised.

Patio furniture was basic would have been nice to be more comfortable enjoying the view. Quite expensive for two guests only but otherwise as advertised.

Captain Jack's was great. The views are amazing, the location is in a quiet part of Porthmadog but only a short walk from shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony morning and evening, watching and listening to the steam trains, listening to curlews from the nature reserve and watching the boats going in and out of the little harbour. Not to mention the ever changing colours of the mountains. The apartment had everything we needed with a pretty and well equipped kitchen. It was lovely to be able to soak in a bath after a long day of walking in the mountains. A few things in the apartment are looking a bit tired and could do with refreshing and tidying up but this didn't impact on our stay in way - more a case of first impressions (e,g. worn bar stools, old sealant in bathroom and kitchen, rusty chair on the balcony, rubbish and full mop bucket left on balcony). The big clock in the kitchen is very pretty but didn't work even when we put a new battery in it. The neighbours were friendly and very quiet (or away) but for a few nights the apartment with a room directly above the bedroom at Captain Jack's was occupied and the creaky floor boards in that room meant that we were woken up in the middle of the night and around 5.30am several days in a row. However, we had a fantastic week, very much enjoyed the apartment and would definitely consider going back again.



Another super stay!

This is the second time we have stayed at Capt Jack's and we love it. It's a fantastic location with beautiful views central to everything in Porthmadog. The facilities are excellent and we always find the apartment in very good condition. I think the bedroom could do with a dehumidifier but that's my only recommendation. We'll be back next year!

We enjoyed our 4th visit to Captain Jacks but our last day was tinged with sadness and disappointment as we cannot return due to the extortionate increase in price for next year.

This apartment is worth it for the wonderful views. It was clean and tidy and had most things we needed (kitchen scales, a working tin opener and more than one toilet roll would be useful!). It's a great location to explore the area with so many things on your doorstep and some great little pubs and places to eat within Portmadog.
Although the access at the front isn't for anyone with mobility problems we didn't have any issues but the back entrance is a bit easier if you do (still plenty of steps!). Parking isn't easy but if there was none on the street above we found some in the square below.
The one thing we found a bit off-putting was the list of things we were expected to do when we left. I believe this is a requirement of STS holidays and not the owners. We never leave places in a mess but to be asked to empty all bins and recycling, strip the beds, put everything back in the place we found it (sorry didn't take a picture!) and vacuum the floors, on threat of a minimum £20 bill for non compliance, seemed a little OTT. It is supposed to be a holiday after all!

The ratings are made up as we never actually made it to the property as we were nursing my dying father and despite taking out insurance, we lost every penny of our money and my father died. Very disappointed as expected more sympathy from a small business



Great place for watching the trains

Very comfortable and memorable holiday due to the wonderful panoramic views of Porthmadog Harbour and mountains.



The apartment was clean, modern, and well equipped for creature comforts but one shortcoming.

The apartment was clean, modern, and well equipped for creature comforts; however, during our 5 nights stay, the bedroom had a mouldy smell, especially during the nighttime which had prevented us from sleeping in the bedroom, instead we have had to sleep on the sofa for the entire stay. There is the multicoloured growths on the external wall facing the bedroom which can be seen through the double UPvc doors.

from the time we opened the door to our room and saw those steps,we thought,oh no.but when we got downstairs and saw the rooms and the fantastic views,it was well worth it.the kitchen and dining area was fantastic,imagine having breakfast,seeing that view,and snowdon in the back ground.the bedroom was large,and the bathroom was excellent.the lounge area was fantastic,and the patio was the best we have seen for views.we often sat on the patio looking at the boats and steam trains,and just enjoying the views.the only negative was the steps down to the room and the steps down to the harbour,but we overcame this by going down in the morning by the steps,and coming back useing the main road.there are lots of shops,charity shops and bakery,fish and chips shop,cafe!s and restaurants.lots to see and lots to do.fantastic holiday.



nice warm studio.
