A harbour villa with an extra large balcony with river, estuary and mountain views. Nice and comfy with all modern conveniences. Short walk to the 'Ffesty', Spooners and the town.

Another lovely week here despite the weather.

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.

Great location right on the harbour side with lovely views across the harbour and out to Borth-y-Gest. Excellent balcony on both sides of the flat. Large comfortable lounge dinner at the top level again with great views.

Comfortable bedrooms however the door in the master bedroom for some strange reason is like the door of a nineteen seventies wardrobe and doesnt shut properly. The bed was comfortable.

Lovely walks and beaches nearby and good food and beer at Spooners and also The Square at Tremadog.

Overall it's excellent accomadation in a beautiful part of Wales cant go wrong if you get the weather.

The view from the windows and balcony is so beautiful you can’t help but relax. Apartment has everything you need. Beds very comfy, enough room for two adults and two teenagers. Perfect location for snowdonia and Wales coastal path. Porthmadog has everything you need whilst also being a charming unspoilt town. Check out the local purple moose beer! Really good!
If you like walking this was an excellent spot. We will probably go back to climb some more mountains!
Only criticism was that there were only 3 chairs at the breakfast bar so one of us had to eat off our knee.

We enjoyed our week staying at this property. It has a double aspect balcony which enhances the views.
The bed in the main room was very comfortable and it was well equipped, apart from a hair dryer, which I understand is being bought.
It very close to the Festiniog railway and other tourist attractions, castles, Port Meirioin, gardens etc.
We were able to put on the heating when necessary.
Although it said in our paperwork that towels were not provided; we were given plenty.
A very comfortable property to enjoy a holiday, with car parking space outside the door.

As always, a very comfortable stay & the location is just perfect!
Love being able to watch the birds as well as activity on the harbour from both inside and from the superb balcony. Property is really well maintained, new furnishings, excellent new cooker and very nice refurbished bathroom with walk-in shower.
Hope to be back again soon!

Stayed a few days over the Easter holiday,
Pros:
the location is perfect.
lots of shops at walking distance
we had book the train trip, so the location was perfect
the house was kept clean and stay was comfortable

cons:
I am nitpicking
The shower was electric and had leakage, so the pressure was very low

My husband and I wanted a property with waterfront views for one week to recharge our batteries. This duplex has superb views of Porthmadog harbour . Being an end property you get views from every window. The duplex had everything you need. It was warm and you could get extra boost from the fire in the living room . Cooker was easy to use . Hot water for showers just needed 10 minutes to heat upon. I wasn’t sure what I needed to take , and was very pleased with starter pack dishwasher tablets , washing up liquid and tea towels . (There was also full washing up liquid on the sink) UHT milk in the fridge . Few tea bags and sachets of coffee for arrival. Lots of hand soap and toilet roll . Very nicely presented and clean . Parking for one car directly at door . Easy to understand instructions on key safe . Porthmadog itself is a lovely town . Lots of places to eat. spooners at the top of the harbour by the station a short walk . Did breakfast 9.00am onwards. Out of season for train service , but there was a shuttle to Minffordd (Portmerion) was £2 per adult return . We also ate at “The Port “ cafe very reasonably price and very very tasty. Lots of supermarket nearby. We had day trips to Pwllheli , Criccieth and Aberdaron. Llanberis and Caernarfon.

This is a wonderful location with views out to sea and the harbour. The beds are very comfortable, WiFi was good. Comfortable lounge. Eclectic mix of cooking utensils and equipment. Plenty of crockery and glassware although the brandy glasses were on the small side! The cooker was modern and easy to use but it had a downside in that the knob for the grill and small upper oven was missing (we discovered it the back of the work service, obviously broken). We reported this to STS but, as they thought, there was no time for a replacement to be found during our stay. Only other negative was the kitchen fan which could do with an overhaul. As the review title implies, it was raining quite a lot but we were always warm and dry and enjoying the view. Great holiday.

Great location with loverly views of the estuary & mountains due to the large two sided balcony. It is a short walk from Spooners pub/restaurant, ideal for watching the trains with a refreshing drink. Accommodation is clean & comfortable. The kitchen would benefit from greater range of cooking utensils including larger cooking knives & larger chopping boards.
TV is streaming services only, no freeview.
Front door has clear glass window, be careful if using the bathroom from 2nd bedroom at night, you don't want to frighten the wildlife!
Property is not suitable for children as the balcony is completely open and not enclosed with perspex sheets as other properties have done.

This holiday home is in an excellent location with lovely views of the harbour. It is quiet and peaceful but just a few minutes walk to the high street. The accommodation is bright, comfortable and clean. We would happily stay here again

We spent Christmas here and it was excellent. The property is well equipped, modern and warm - very important in December.
There was a Christmas tree and goodies which made all the difference to our stay.
The weather was mixed but we could sit in comfort and enjoy the views (double aspect windows) and watch the weather nd tide change.
It was only a few minutes walk into Porthmadog to restaurants, pubs and shops.

Just back from Portmadoc. Our eighth stay on Soith Snowdon Wharf/ the fifth time in Island views. We were doubtful about time of year but apart from a few showers we had brilliant sunshine every day which made it ideal for browsing the many shops on high street.
Our only downside was TV reception in evenings
( Limited to just 2 channels) and even these channels kept Pixelating )

The apartment really needs a better television to access WiFi including Netflix. This would not be a major outlay considering the apartment is rented out for most of the year. ( this is just a personal opinion
Taken all round we had a great stay , as usual and are already looking at dates for next year.
