Overview
Property code: OC-WAG271

The fabulous waterside position of 50 Snowdon Wharf gives views over the harbour to Porthmadog. Situated on a private managed estate, this is within a very short stroll of Porthmadog with its shops, restaurants and cafes and just a few hundred yards from the Welsh Highland Railway station. The sandy beaches of Borth-y-Gest and Blackrock sands approximately 1 mile, the Italianate village of Portmeirion, 2 miles and the Snowdonia National Park just short drive away.

This two story Porthmadog property has an open plan sitting/dining room/kitchen situated on the first floor, with a balcony to relax on and enjoy the views. This beamed area is light and airy with a leather three piece suite, side tables and a flatscreen TV/DVD/Freeview, a pine table and benches and a cream coloured fitted kitchen. On the ground floor the double bedroom has fantastic views over the harbour. There is also a compact twin bedroom and bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. Heating by electric storage heaters.

This property could be accessed relatively easily by public transport and once here there is plenty to do within walking distance. The Welsh Highland Railway goes on a fabulous scenic route via Beddgelert to Caernarfon with its famous castle. The Ffestiniog Railway travels to Blaenau Ffestiniog with its underground slate caverns,  ZipWorld Titan arial wire and Bounce Below underground trampolines. Criccieth, with its castle, is at the start of the Lleyn Peninsula, 4.5 miles away. Harlech castle and beaches 10 miles.

The location was superb, on the harbour with an uninterrupted view out to sea, next to the Ffestiniog Railway and very handy for the town. Porthmadog is an excellent location for a car free holiday. It is on the main line railway and has good bus links in all directions including the excellent Sherpa bus to Snowdonia.

No 50 is a really lovely appartment to stay in. The location is perfect with everything you need. The balcony is a real suntrap where we enjoyed many coffees and glasses of wine! We would definately try to go back there.

The holiday property is very well situated on the harbour at Porthmadog with its own parking space. Perfect for exploring Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula. The bedrooms and bathroom are downstairs, leaving a nice living area upstairs with a balcony overlooking the harbour and estuary. The property is well equipped with most things you should needRead more for your stay. Hide

In a ideal location for visiting Porthmadog. This small property is suited for a couple with easy access to the beautiful local area and the adjacent Welsh Highland Steam railway.

Brilliant location & view from lounge window & balcony. Very convenient for walking into town & for the Welsh Highland Railway station. Upstairs lounge area very comfortable & kitchen well equipped. Enjoyed our stay. The area under the stairs was a bit messy/cluttered & spoiled the appearance of the ground floor, especially as there were also a loRead moret of cobwebs & several spiders in that area. One of the taps in the kitchen dripped constantly....we meant to leave a note but forgot. The double bedroom would benefit from a couple of nice pictures on the wall. WiFi often very slow which wouldn't have mattered if the the phone signal wasn't so poor meaning we couldn't use our mobile data. Hide

Super location, quiet area, great views over harbour & estuary from upstairs balcony, parking area's can get congested if guests don't park within guide lines, a few times guests at other houses parked so they took up more than one space.

The cottage was situated in an ideal spot with glorious views across the estuary. It was within easy walking distance of shops, cafes, and public transport which meant we didn't have to drive unless we chose to. It was important to us that the property is a dog-free zone due to allergies. The size of the property is ideal for two adults, though posRead moresibly a bit cramped for four people (unless two were small children). I would say that it is not suitable for someone with mobility issues due to the stairs. Hide

The excellent location for the steam railway and the lovely vista down the estuary were spoilt for us by the fact that the wi-fi stopped working after two days, the TV didn't work at all, under cupboard lighting in kitchen area didn't work, bathroom floor floods every time you take a shower as shower screen leaks and the whole place would benefit fRead morerom a thorough deep clean (e.g. peanuts and crisps from previous occupants visible under furniture). I would also hope that the system of extension leads in the bedrooms have been PAT tested. Hide

Wonderful setting and gorgeous views. Really handy for all amenities and close to the Ffestiniog railway. It is a lovely area to visit and centrally located for visiting the lovely coastal towns of the peninsula. Will come back again.
