Shops nearby and also the steam railway which was fun. Portmeirion well worth a visit. We enjoyed our week in Wales.

Very annoying. In the upstairs toilet the toilet brush holder and brush had not been cleaned out and was not very pleasant. On the "upside," the property was superbly located on the harbour and close to the town. Generally well presented, clean, warm and comfortable.
