Wij kozen deze woning vanwege de ligging g bij de Festinog Railway. Alles was geweldig, het uitzicht en dichtbij het station en de winkels. Wij komen graag weer terug. Zijn treinliefhebber.

We opened the door to a lovely apartment, everything was clean and fresh. The view from the patio windows was great, and it was nice to sit outside on the private patio watching all of the activity on the water.
The apartment is perfectly situated, only a 2 minute walk to the town, and just under a 1 mile walk to Borth y Gest (we hardly used the car, which has its own parking bay). Really quiet at night time, and really peaceful during the day. Free Wi Fi and Sky TV for rainy days and night time added to the comfort. We would definitely recommend this apartment, its perfect, but book early (we booked in August 2024 for Whitsun 2024). What a lovely place.



Beautiful location, parking tricky.

We had a lovely week staying here and overall the weather was kind to us so that we were able to sit outside and enjoy watching the boats in the harbour! Near to shops, pubs and restaurants!
2 Sun loungers were provided but were heavy to man handle in and out everyday and no outside table was provided even though it was mentioned in the notes on the coffee table, as was the coffee machine which we never found. We emailed the owner twice but never got a reply.
WiFi was very good when we eventually found the correct provider (again the notes are out of date and we had to phone the owner, correct WiFi was on a card on the kitchen notice board!).We gave up on the TV!
There is no storage cupboard for food in the kitchen area so you have to leave everything out on the kitchen worktop, the location of the microwave needs a rethink!

Beautifully situated with ever-changing views,this appt.is very nearly perfect. Comfortable bed,settee and armchairs.Outside, the designated space removes the nightmare of parking!
Inside, the welcome milk and Welsh cakes was a nice touch. However, following a long and tiring journey, the appt information book could have been more helpful. This needs to be updated.
Finally, in our opinion, delightful though it is, it is not suitable for people with mobility issues.

A nice property in a brilliant position.
However certain appliances iin the kitchen need to be looked at.The icebox in the fridge doesn't shut properly as the handle seems to have been broken off. This makes the top shelf in the fridge wet and unable to be used. Also the settings for the oven have worn off the dial and there were no instructions.

Booking through agent (STS) very easy. Needed to make contact with owner during our stay and had immediate response to our query. Property was clean and tidy with everything we needed. Parking spot next to the apartment so easy to unload luggage. The location is very quiet and peaceful yet only a short walk to shops and amenities.
The view so relaxing, no need to venture out as plenty to watch on the river. Would definitely return.

This apartment is in an excellent location over looking the river. It was lovely to watch the changing tide and watching the birds. The apartment is ideal for two people and great to have a car parking space right outside the apartment. It was nice to have blackout curtains in the bedroom, I like the bedroom to be dark when I go the sleep. I have found in the past that a lot of holiday lets have fine light weight fabric curtains which don't help with the summer light nights. The sofa and chairs were comfortable as was the bed. All in all a lovely apartment for two people. r

This is a lovely apartment set in a perfect location. We had a great week walking to the local beaches and travelling on different trains, the highlight being the steam train to Caernavon. The maritime museum in the church at Nefyn is well worth a visit. Remember to take a pair of binoculars with you to observe the wildlife from the living room window.

We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. We walked in and immediately loved the views out of the windows. We looked out on to the water with boats right outside. We spent many hours watching the tides, the boats and the bird life. A heron visited regularly and we watched egrets, oyster catchers etc fishing outside.
The apartment was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The bed, sofa and chairs were really comfortable. The apartment was nicely decorated and the shower was good.
There was good parking right next to the apartment and it is in a quiet position but close to pubs, restaurants and shops.
All in all we had a great week. We thoroughly recommend it and we hope to return in the near future.

The accommodation was perfect for us having been sailors for the past fifty years Ned the comings and goings of the yachts reminded us of our past. The owners had warned us of a red wine stain on the wall and carpet by the previous tenant but we couldn’t see any of it. They must have cleared it before we got there. The place was spotless and every thing had been thought through, down to Welsh oat cakes on our arrival, lounge chairs for the terrace, dvd’s for when it rained(which it didn’t).
All in all a good weeks holiday.



The best apartment that we have stayed in!

We have stayed in 4 apartments in Porthmadog over a period of several years, this was the best so far!
Two comfortable arm chairs, large patio doors and views onto the harbour, it was brilliant, Milk ready for us to have a cup of tea and a packet of Welsh caked was a good welcome and all that we needed for a relaxing holday

Great base for exploring other areas, of this North West (Wales) coast. Terrific views of the ever changing scenery, created by different daylight and evening sunset (although no sunsets are visible from the apartment) on the mountains and sea coast estuary.
Great week, with gorgeous weather, helping the mood !

The apartment was as the photos on the STS website and on arrival found everywhere clean, neat and tidy. On the coffee table was a well written information booklet on how to operate the various equipment in the apartment plus advice on places to eat in Porthmadog and advice to book a table in advance, as we found out. Porthmadog town was within walking distance. All in all a very good week spent in the apartment even if we did not go out , there was always plenty to watch on the river or across at the Ffestiniog railway station. We are elderly and the apartment suited us perfectly. One of the trips out we made was to see the Glaslyn Ospreys, which we found very interesting and informative.



Lovely to be back again.

We enjoyed another comfortable week at Oakley Views, our second visit. Welcome of milk, welsh cakes and flowers was appreciated. The apartment is perfect for the two of us with direct views to the Heritage Train Station (which we come for) but also to the estuary for bird spotting, which we also enjoy very much. The heating and water controls are easy to use and don't need to be on for long for comfort. We enjoy shopping in the High Street - the butcher and fishmonger are particularly good and the kitchen has everything needed to make all our meals. We hope to return as we know that a clean, comfortable property will be waiting for us.



Almost 100% perfect

We have stayed in this accommodation before in 2019 whilst it is still a nice apartment it is looking tired and the decor needs freshening up and the carpets need cleaning or replacing.However the location is excellent for the town and for getting around the area.The apartment is well equipped and is peaceful with great views.



Lovely stay, some comments.

We really enjoyed our stay, and the location is excellent.

We thought the advance information was quite unwelcoming, with too much COVID expectations which feel no longer necessary and a rather menacing statement of things which will involve losing the deposit.

We were told there was no hair dryer, but there was. It was frustrating to find this after we brought our own.

In terms of the facilities, there were references to a coffee machine which we could not find.



Great place to stay

This was our second stay here. Lovely apartment, everything you need and more from the generous owners. There was fresh milk milk in the fridge, a gift bag of Welsh oatcakes, lovely fresh sunflowers in the lounge, canisters containing sachets of coffee, tea bags, sugar, fresh sponge and lots of cleaning products… the list goes on. Slight problem with the shower when we stayed but I phoned the owner Paul and it was quickly rectified. I have mobility problems and use a wheelchair for going out which we left outside and is undercover. I managed to get around the apartment well and the shower is great; low level and large. My only positive suggestion would be to put a grab rail in.A good base for exploring and walking but it’s lovely to sit and watch the boats, changing views, wild life and steam trains. If you have a disability the staff at the railway are fab. They have ramps and get you on and off. All in all BRILL and highly recommended.



Everything we expected. Fully equipped accommodation with modern utensils.

Peaceful,yet interesting location in an apartment ideally situated. An ever changing scene through the panoramic French window of the tidal and river flows was fascinating.



Excellent accommodation and location .. Ever-changing views .

We really enjoyed our little holiday in Portmadog. The flat was conveniently situated for all amenities, and the view was absolutely awesome changing colours often. The whole area is very pretty indeed and beaches are superb too. The property was very comfortable with everything you would need for a pleasant holiday.

This apartment is in a great position. You cannot get any nearer the water and harbour activities. Very well maintained with everything needed for two people. Quite area and so easy to walk into town for a coffee etc. if you want something to do take the train around the coast to one of the stops on the Cambrian coast, really super scenery.
Good value accommodation, only two niggles. Car park is very tight for a bigger car if the other apartments are occupied. Please lose that great big lamp! It’s not a big room and it takes up a lot of it.
You won’t be dissatisfied with this place.
