We had an excellent 4 nights in Porthmadog. The property was clean and instructions very clear.(We needed to put some heating on although it was June!) Interesting place to stay, ate out two nights and enjoyed watching the ebb and flow of the tides from the flat. We played golf, visited Snowdon on the iconic cog railway and took in three historic castles. Parking is quite tight but managable.

Our host was lovely and quick to respond to any question raised. Thankyou Emma.A lovely apartment with fabulous views of the estuary overlooking moored boats. There was constant activity watching House Martins swooping by; geese congregating on a sandbank that constantly changed as the tides turned, and in the distance glorious mountains that constantly changed as the sun shone or morning mist lifted. The apartment is at ground level, located in the heart of Porthmadog and at sea level, making easy access for the less mobile to an abundance of eating places, pubs, shops and local buses.The apartment is charming and tastefully decorated with every appliance you could wish for or need, including binoculars! Yes, would highly recommend.

Thanks our stay was very good really. Hot water pressure could be better but I’m sure you would have heard that before. The finish (sealing etc) in the shower was awful if you payed someone to do that you should get your money backOther than that it was a lovely couple of days away.

About the host

Hosted by Emma Patchett

Host profile image
My name is Emma Patchett and I live in Warwickshire with my husband and two children. Before having my children I had a career as a solicitor, although I decided to give up my legal position whilst the children are young. I now work part-time. The apartment in Porthmadog belongs to my mother.

It is in such a beautiful and peaceful spot, with every type of amenity close by. We hope it appeals to many types of holiday maker - walkers, beach lovers, climbers, wildlife enthusiasts, fans of steam railway or those who simply want a restful holiday watching the yachts in the harbour. Our children have loved trips to the beaches and amazing coastal castles nearby. All of our family have had wonderful holidays in the apartment and we would like others to be able to enjoy the delights of Snowdonia too!

Why they chose this property

Snowdonia is a wonderful destination for a holiday. We love the area because there are so many different things to do and it also has both spectacular coastal and mountain scenery. The apartment is ideally positioned to take advantage of both.

The apartment is very quiet and peaceful and is at the edge of the small town of Porthmadog. It is situated on the Harbour, the access road is actually part of the Welsh Coastal Path. In the 19th century Oakley Wharf was a busy quayside loading Welsh slate for export around the world, and the area retains many historic features. It's only a few minutes walk to restaurants, pubs, shops, beaches and Ffestiniog railway station where you can travel by steam train into the surrounding countryside. The apartment can cater for everyone's holiday needs!

What makes this property unique

One of the best things about Oakley Wharf is its waterside location and the fabulous harbour views from the garden. This makes it a wonderful spot for sitting in the garden, having a cup of tea/glass of wine, or eating, and watching the boats go by.

To the left you can see the ever changing colours of the mountains of Snowdonia and to the right is the Glaslyn estuary with its varied bird life and the beautiful sea views.

From the front door it is a pleasant walk to the beaches beyond Borth-y-Gest or the shops & cafes of Porthmadog High Street. You can choose a short stroll or a longer hike along the coastal paths, past beaches and coves with spectacular views.

The Ffestiniog railway is also very nearby for memorable steam-powered trips into Snowdonia.
