Lovely cottage situated above the harbour in Porthmadog with excellent views. Would suit one or two couples wanting to relax in the evening looking at the view and explore during the day.

Guest Comments:
KB (Sept 2024): Excellent "Fabulous location. The house is lovely everything you need and some really good local suggestions of what, where and general information. Well worth the stay."

The cottage felt very homely - we loved it. It had everything you could need and more. Very thoughtful of the owners. The beds were very comfortable.

We spent a very enjoyable 2 weeks at Garth Cottage in August. Accomodation is in an excellent location a few minutes walk into Porthmadog, you can watch the comings and goings of the steam trains and harbour from the front garden and living room. You can walk to borthy guest and then onto the beautiful sandy beaches in around 15 minutes.

Garden at back unusable, over grown and unable to even access seating area, bathroom disgusting started our holiday by removing the mold and cleaning everything. Mattresses all stained and disgusting. Kitchen tiles cracked. Kitchen kick boards all loose. Cupboards in kitchen smelt damp...when it rains the roof leaks and water runs into Kitchen under Kitchen cupboards. Carpets stained, personal belongings of owners everywhere including bedroom drawers and cupboards. Generally grubby, badly maintained and not worth the money at all



Fantastic location for Snowdonia with amazing views from the terrace

Great spot for exploring the area. The cottage is a good size with everything you need, it's comfortable with fantastic views.

This is a family holiday home for the owners which is apparent due to the lovely homely touches. The pictures and paintings are amazing.

The weather was amazing which is always a win.

Not a 5 star due to the outside areas being overgrown to the point that we could not use the garden. We had to cut down a bush to be able get on to the terrace. House needs some TLC.

Please don't let this put you off though. Beds are comfy. Bed linen supplied and clean. Bathroom roomy with a good shower and everything you would need in the kitchen.

DVDs and games to keep the young ones entertained if raining.

Had a really lovely week.



Garth cottage, we will definitely be back

We stayed at Garth Cottage during Easter 2024.

Communication from the owner was excellent prior to our arrival with an excellent welcome pack sent on email. Thanks to the detailed directions we found the property without any problems.

The cottage is well appointed with good sized rooms which are comfortable. The property over looks the harbour, with views of the steam railway beyond, together with the mountains.
There are many thoughtful touches such as good quality maps, well appointed drying room and barbeque on the terrace. Kitchen has all you could need (and more) for cooking on holiday.

The cottage is well situated it is a few minutes walk to the centre of Porthmadog, There is plenty to do locally such as Llama walking, trips on the steam railways, beaches (such as Borthy Guest), and plenty of opportunities for nice walks.

All in all an excellent stay we will be back!

Booked at the last minute, we were delighted to find a cottage so central . STS are a very helpful and reliable company to use and I would recommend them ten times over.
The cottage itself was comfortable with a STUNNING view over the harbour and mountains which we enjoyed from the balcony a few times, despite the time of year.
Parking can be a problem! We arrived and were unable to stop outside to unload our luggage. I'm guessing it must be a lot harder during the season. Such a pity as this is a beautiful location.



Stunning property, wonderful location.

Garth Cottage is ideally positioned, just the right distance away from the hub bub of Porthmadog but within easy walking distance to shops, cafes, the beach and coastal and hill walks.
The property is great for dogs, allowing them safe access to an open space.
The beds and soft furnishings are comfortable, and there is an endless supply of hot water with a very good powerful shower.
The kitchen is well equipped, with enough of everything you should need from a self catering holiday.
The house is architecturally interesting and full of character.

Had a fabulous time in Garth Cottage this week. The location, layout and in particular the terrace over-looking the most amazing views couldn’t have been bettered. Also as the weather was changeable and staying in a cottage like this meant being stuck in doors was also fun, with views from the lounges making up for not being out. Catherine has provided everything one needs, including maps, advice, and all the cooking essentials (oils, tea, sugar etc). She always responded quickly and the check-in and -out very easy. Will be booking again

A warm and comfortable cottage in a very convenient position not only for Porthmadog but also for visiting Snowdonia and the Llŷn Peninsular.There are lovely seating areas outside for when the weather permits and the views from the front of the cottage are fantastic. There is an abundant supply of hot water and the kitchen is extremely well equipped. We have stayed here several times already and certainly intend to come back again.

Garth cottage has a fabulous view of Porthmadog harbour, the front terrace is a perfect spot to watch the boats and crabbing. The accommodation met our needs well, beds were really comfy, shower was great and kitchen well equipped. Really quiet at night, no noise from the town even on a warm weekend night. Not so many places to eat in the evening in Porthmadog but we enjoyed meals at Y Banc for tapas and Good Mood for pizza.

The real bonus is that you’re so close to many top days out. We managed a steam train trip to the gorgeous Beddgelert, Zip World at Blaenau, fabulous beach at Llandanwyg, Portmeirion, Black Rock Llamas (don’t miss this!), Borth y Gest beach and Llanbedrog beach.

Cottage location perfect with local shops 5 mins away. Beautiful views from cottage, as description on website says though a little dusty, and could tell dogs had been on sofas, wifi not very strong. Cottage has everything you need otherwise equipped kitchen and spacious rooms has comfortable beds and nice secure garden, street parking was ok always got a space. Enjoyed sitting watching harbour of an evening. We've been to Porthmadog before so know the area, short walk to Borth Y Guest and Black Rock sands which is a lovely long beach. Best Fish n Chips from Chippy Dre in Tremadog and lovely Pizza and walk in Beddgelert. We had good weather for Wales so overall a good week.



A welcoming holiday base with all the basics provided for you.

Superb views from the front of the house across the town and harbour, to the mountains and valleys beyond.
A great place to enjoy the sunshine, as you watch the world go by with the famous narrow gauge trains coming and going in the distance.

We very much enjoyed staying at Garth cottage: the house has a lot of character and superb views. It was wonderful to be able to see mountains, boats and steam trains from the house and garden. The cottage is only a short walk away from the harbour area and the town. Porth Madoc is an excellent base for exploring Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsular.

This is a lovely old stone built Welsh cottage, with amazing views across to the mountains and The Cob, with the steam trains. Very comfortable and in a very quiet location. Only downside are the steep flight of steps from the road to the front door for the less fit!!!
(Could do with a potato peeler, despite having every other kitchen utensil, and a new microwave, as the present one is very temperamental.)
