This terraced, contemporary holiday property is located on the exclusive South Snowdon Wharf development in Porthmadog, and has lovely views out over the end of the famous Ffestiniog Railway to the boats moored in the harbour. As the tide rises and falls the ever-changing vista is utterly compelling, and the balcony is just the spot to most appreciate the view with a glass of wine or an al-fresco dinner.
The little steam trains of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway provide great entertainment as they bustle off on their spectacular journeys to either Blaenau Ffestiniog or Caernarfon. A short stroll takes you into the town centre, which offers a great choice of places to eat and drink. The picturesque Italianate village of Portmeirion, designed by Sir Clough Williams Ellis, is well worth a visit, as is the glorious sandy beach at Black Rock Sands; perfect bucket and spade territory or if you fancy, a paddle in the sea. Meanwhile, Blaenau Ffestiniog is an adrenaline junkie’s delight with Zip World, the largest zip wire zone in the world, Bounce Below, where you can bounce on trampoline nets deep underground in an old slate cavern, or the Stiniog downhill mountain bike trails. Beach 2 miles. Shop and restaurant 200 yards, pub 50 yards.

Enjoyed our stay at this property. Excellent location by the railway to see what is going on. The view over the harbour is excellent. The property was clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable. Only one comment, there are no rails provided to hang damp towels after a bath or shower either in the bathroom or the bedrooms.Would certainly recommend this property and go back again in the future.

The flat met our requirements, we found it well appointed and comfortable. We had occasional problems locking and unlocking the main entrance and patio doors, but other than that would recommend the flat. If you are keen on steam railways it’s an ideal spot, sitting on the patio watching the trains being ‘coaled up’

Harbour View was ideal for what we wanted to do. Our only criticism is that there are no cooker instructions in the folder. Given we cook with gas, an electric oven and hob are well outside our comfort zone.
