About this property
Set on Porthmadog’s wharf in Gwynedd is this delightful seaside holiday home, 25 South Snowdon Wharf. With amenities nearby and the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park within easy reach and fabulous birdwatching opportunities, this home is an ideal base for a couple or small family to enjoy this scenic area of Wales. Allocated parking greets you before making your way into the lovely and bright home; the ground-floor hosts your sleeping quarters, with a double and a twin room to choose from to catch your rest. Finishing off this floor is the shower room, perfect for freshening up after a day at the beach. Make your way upstairs for dinner, with a kitchen equipped with an electric oven and hob for you to rustle up your meals in. From here, the dining space allows you to gather with your loved ones, or you may want to sit out on the balcony, which really steals the show. Completing the property is the sitting area, with a TV and books for your entertainment, and the perfect view for watching the tide come in and out and spotting some local birds - you even have distant views of the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Steam Railway from here! When sitting out with a cup of tea, you may spot Curlew, Teal or Redshank on the banks, or even Ospreys, Cormorants, or Black-tailed Godwits exploring the water’s edge, while anglers’ fish off the wall just outside of the property. When you’re ready to head out and explore the town, you can find beaches, shops and restaurants to keep you occupied, as well as handy supermarkets to stock up on the essentials. When you’ve seen the sights and dined at the eateries of Porthmadog, there are a wealth of attractive towns nearby you can visit such as Harlech and Barmouth. Harlech, known for its magnificent beachside castle and beautiful golden sands makes a lovely day out for a couple or family. Barmouth, slightly further down the coast is another friendly town, with stand-up-paddle boarding available and another selection of restaurants to choose from. Inland, you can find a whole host of outdoor activities at the Eryri National Park, or simply enjoy walking through the stunning park. With something for everyone, 25 South Snowdon Wharf is the perfect place for your next break.
The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland railway where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog or Caerforn. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well-known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. Also within reach is the famous Zip World Slate Caverns and Bounce Below where you can get involved with a variety of activities including the thrilling zip wires and underground caverns to explore; there is something here to suit the whole family. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.

Sitting on the balcony with either your cuppa first thing in the morning or a glass of wine before it went too dark. Very central for either driving out to places or the jumping the train. The only thing was with us was we couldnt find the bins for our rubbish it is mentioned in the welcome book but still couldnt find it that might have been us getting confused on where to look but we just took it out with us on leaving and put it in Tescos big bin. I would recomend for anyone to stay here a little welcome pack would have been nice when arriving as most seem to do that these days.
