Denise July 2024

“This was our second stay at this lovely house.”

The location is perfect for our needs; handy for shops, handy for restaurants and the railways, but sited in a very quiet development. We even walked over to Portmeirion from the front door! The house itself is very cosy and comfortable. It was so lovely to be able to sit out on the roof terrace, or just sit with the patio doors open, enjoying the beautiful sunset we had on a couple of days. The house was beautifully clean; it was such a joy to walk into, finding everything sparkling from top to bottom. Our holiday began the moment we walked through that front door.

- Denise, July 2024

Hi Denise Thanks so much for your kind feedback. Glad you had a good stay and looking forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best regards Ed Property Owner
Marion May 2024

Diane March 2024

“Great location for exploring Snowdonia and Portmeirion.”

View of the harbour, the little steam engines, all framed by a mountain backdrop. We were pleasantly surprised how much sun we got... Public transport options are very good. A new Sunday bus started up the month before we arrived going to Barmouth, so what with that and the Cambrian Coast railway it's really easy to walk a section of coastline and get a bus or train back whatever the day. The property was cosy and clean.

- Diane, March 2024

Hi Diane Many thanks for your helpful information about your stay. Hope to welcome you back again soon. Best regards Ed Property Owner

Colin March 2024

“This is the second time at 1 Snowdon Wharf and it is a lovely clean place to stay.”

The Kitchen and Lounge have a balcony from which you can sit and watch the little Engines being loaded with fuel and the boats on the harbour, with the town of Porthmadog behind. The Kitchen is well equipped and a lovely oven. We feel comfortable there and an easy walk into town.

- Colin, March 2024

Colin Great to have you stay again. Thanks for your kind comments. Looking forward to you staying again Best wishes Ed Property Owner

“Wow what a holiday.”

The house was perfect. The view was amazing over the harbour. The house was warm and cosy and central to everything. Great to have parking right outside. Very clean and everything you needed was there. All in all we had a very relaxing stay (despite the weather). Would highly recommend this property.

Lesley January 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay at Snowdon Wharf.”

The property is cosy and well equipped and ideal for a winter break with the lovely harbour view which can be enjoyed from the first floor open plan kitchen/lounge whatever the weather (which in our case was mostly sunny despite it being January). You're also close to the High Street and nice walks across the estuary next to the train line or along the coastal path. We enjoyed visits to Portmeirion, Barmouth and the Lleyn Peninsula, all in all a lovely holiday.

- Lesley, January 2024

Hi Lesley Many thanks for your great feedback. Hope to welcome you back again soon. Best regards Ed Property Owner
Anne December 2023

“It was our 3rd Xmas at this lovely cottage and my 4th time there.”

It's wonderfully peaceful and relaxing, I sleep much better than at home. The cottage has everything, and the view is ever changing so there is always something to watch, even the terrible storm we have just had was spectacular. The owner is easy to contact and very helpful. 10/10

- Anne, December 2023

Glad to have welcomed you back again Anne and you enjoyed your stay. Very kind words on your feedback. Best wishes Ed Property Owner
Tove December 2023

“This property is in a nice and quiet location, but still central in Porthmadog.”

It has convenient easy parking. With the living room and kitchen upstairs it makes the most of the pretty view over Porthmadog harbour. There is effective wifi and a well equipped kitchen. The minor issues we experienced when arriving were rapidly attended to by Ed. South Snowdon Wharf provided an excellent base for our walking holiday exploring the Llyn peninsula and Snowdonia National Park.

- Tove, December 2023

Thanks very much for your kind feedback. Glad the minor issues were resolved quickly. Hope to welcome you both back again soon. Best regards Ed Property Owner
Georgina November 2023

“An absolutely fabulous place to stay, super comfortable with absolutely everything you need and the most amazing ever changing view from the balcony (we spent hours watching the tide coming in and out and the seagulls were comical) Plenty of choice of eating out within a walking distance (even Tesco for all you need just a 10 min walk down the high street full of tempting shops).”

Ed the owner was lovely and nothing was too much trouble, we will definitely be returning! Lovely place to stay in a gorgeous part of Wales!

- Georgina, November 2023

Lovely feedback. Glad you had a good stay. Looking forward to welcoming you back next year. Best regards Ed Property Owner

“WOW...”

What can I say !!! this was a much needed holiday due to ill health and my goodness it just couldn't have been better. Everything about this property was wonderful. The amazing view from the balcony with the old steam trains, the boats in the estuary and the red jet planes flying low over the hills were all brilliant. The cottage was so well equipped we wanted for nothing. Also a great location for getting around seeing he wonderful sites this area has to offer. We loved our time there so much we have already booked for next Spring. Big thanks to ED for everything . Liz and Mick Poole

Valerie June 2023

“1 South Snowdon Wharf was an excellent property, very well equipped and very comfortable furniture, especially the bed, which was one of the most comfortable ones we have experienced in a holiday let.”

The view was great, both of the harbour and the engines being loaded with coal. It is only a few minutes walk from the town and 2 mins from the the Harbour Station.

“Ed the owner kindly phoned us on the Friday morning to keep us up with the new kitchen and heating instructions.”

On arrival we were overcome with the appreciation of such a lovely cottage with its cleanliness and position.

It impressed us so much we have already booked for next March.

- Colin, March 2023

Colin thanks very much for your kind words and very pleased you are coming back to visit again. Best wishes Ed Property Owner

Very reasonably priced with a great location and stunning views, located close to the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway. I will happily recommend this property to friends and family. A Thoughtful touch was milk in the fridge and Welsh Cakes (Yum).

- Gillian, November 2022

Thanks for your kind review Gillian, I’m glad you had a good stay. Hope to welcome you back again in the not too distant future. Happy Christmas and best wishes Ed Property Owner

Anne September 2022

“We love the cottage and have stayed twice before and are booked for Xmas this year.”

It is so peaceful watching the harbour and the steam trains restock with coal right opposite the balcony, there is always something to see. Lovely walks nearby to watch the birds. Porthmadog is great with good mix of independent shops and several supermarkets for essentials. Buses are on the main street to many places along the coast. All in all its a 10 out of 10

- Anne, September 2022

Thanks Anne for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed another stay and looking forward to welcoming you back at Christmas. Property Owner
Angela September 2022

“The house was very nice, clean and tidy and had everything that we needed for our stay.”

It had a very comfortable bed and warm quilt. The view from the lounge window and balcony was lovely, mountains, harbour and the railway engines coming to coal and water everyday, what more could you ask for. The property was within a short walking distance of the town which had places to eat, although I would suggest that if you wanted to eat at any of the restaurants you need to book these, as they seem to be very popular and don’t open on certain days. We had very good instructions from Ed the owner about the property and these were clear and easy to follow. We appreciated the milk and Welsh cakes left for us in the property. Would definite recommend staying at the property especially for railway enthusiasts!

- Angela, September 2022

Angela thanks very much for your kind feedback. It really does mean a lot knowing you’ve had a good stay. Hope to welcome you back next year when all being well the kitchen will have received an update along with the heating system. Best regards Ed Property Owner
Chris September 2022

“Excellent property, however, just a couple of comments.”

Could not work out how the oven extractor fan worked. Could have made use of a freezer (a small countertop one would suffice) . Kitchen tongs needed. No toilet brush. . However a lovely comfortable stay, we will definitely return.

- Chris, September 2022

Hi Chris, Thanks for your feedback. There is a small freezer compartment in the fridge. I will address your other items as well. Hope to welcome you back again soon. Best regards Ed Property Owner

Stephen July 2022

“New bathroom very nice, lovely shower, fantastic towel rail, but toilet seat not fastened on one side and couldn't find anywhere to tighten it.”

In serious need of shelving for toiletries. Kitchen cupboards had musty smell every time on opening. In fact, musty smell every time you went in through the front door. Sofas lovely and comfortable, balcony a real bonus. Comfortable double bed, although bedding a little on the tired side, furniture rather dated. Wallpaper coming off wall in single bedroom by bed. Not appealing to sleep in there. Excellent parking. Would recommend a spare key available, just in case.

- Stephen, July 2022

Your maintenance points have been noted. As for the musty smell this will be investigated as you are the first to mention this. The new bedding bought one year ago must be showing it’s age. Regards Property Owner

“A very comfortable stay in a location ideally suited for the railway, with a great view over the harbour and the range of locomotives coaling just below the balcony.”

In spite of the variable weather we had a great time and enjoyed our week very much. Will recommend to friends!

- Howard, June 2022

Howard, your review is very kind. Glad you had a good week and thank you for putting up with the outside painting. Much appreciated. Best wishes Ed Property Owner
Janice June 2022

“This property is fantastic, really clean, brilliant position, close to all amenities and because the living area is upstairs you have a great balcony overlooking the harbour directly in front of you and Ffestiniog steam railway to the side.”

We had an amazing holiday and would definitely book this accommodation again if staying in Porthmadog. If it was rated by stars we’d give it a five, couldn’t fault it at all.

- Janice, June 2022

Janice , thanks so much for the review. Very much hope to welcome you back soon. Best wishes Ed Property Owner

Graham June 2022

“Brilliant cottage in a fantastic location you can sit on the balcony watch the harbour and listen to the trains perfect.”

everything is in walking distance, it's a very quiet pleasant cottage. we felt so comfortable there, we said if we had won the lottery we would have made a offer to buy it. I can't recommend this cottage enough. It's a 5 star cottage in a perfect location. We will definitely be returning next year. Another bonus with the property is the owner Edward is a perfect gentleman.

- Graham, June 2022

Graham, Thanks so much for your kind words and very pleased you had a good stay. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Happy retirement! Property Owner

Jackie February 2022

“Comfortable for two people as small, but perfectly adequate and cosy (We were there in February during high winds and rain and snow on the mountains!”

).Good location on the edge of town overlooking the harbour giving a great view from the sitting area.Located a few yards from a small tidal estuary a great area to walk around if you are interested in birds.Also close to coastal walking and inland, mountain walking.Harlech not far away for castle visiting, or the Llyn peninsula, or inland to the higher Snowdonia mountains.Good to have a parking space too (as last time we visited a different property with no parking we found it difficult to park in the town).Oven a bit complicated to work out so just used the hob

- Jackie, February 2022

Thank you very much for your review. Hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

Thank you for your feedback. With regard to the mattress protector and the condition outside the front door a call to me ( as I requested on the contact email and info sheet) on arrival would have had these items resolved in short time. I apologise that standards were not met. With regard to the tv selection, basic freeview is offered. Property Owner

Cosette August 2020

“We would liked to have had somewhere to dry our clothes as we got soaked a couple of times.”

We had to leave them hanging around the apartment. An airier would have been useful. Also a waste paper basket would have been useful in the bedroom. Apart from that the apartment was very comfortable and we had an enjoyable time visiting lots of places within easy access of Portmadog. We would definitely go back sometime in the future.

- Cosette, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback. There has now been a substantial heated towel rail added to the new bathroom. This will provide more than adequate clothes drying facilities. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you again for your valuable feedback. Property Owner
