Excellent location - easy walk to town / railway. Marvellous view of estuary, yachts, which even with rainy weather brightened the spirit. Could sit & relax just looking at the view.
Superb bathroom with large shower. Good facilities apart from kitchen utensils - need overhaul. Didn't like fold up dining chairs.
Top rate apartment in a perfect location.Our third visit but still finding plenty to do. The apartment is perfect for visiting the local area.Do not miss osprey watching at Glaslyn and Dyfi or the Dinorwig slate museum. Yr hen fecus is a delightful restaurant 5 minutes away. Beware Harlech castle has a tiny carpark and a very steep hill
This property was very comfortable and well furnished. It suited our needs and had outside space to sit and enjoy the beautiful views.
Access to the town nearby was good.
We would definitely book again.
Wow, what a wonderful place to stay. OK, we had fantastic weather, but the location on the waters edge was perfect. Well equipped and an easy walk into town. Good communication from the host also. Would thouroughly recommend.
Our second trip here. Excellent apartment with great views of the estuary. So much to do here . Glaslyn and Dyfi ospreys a must see. Good communication with owner
Nice comfortable apartment in quiet location with lovely view, well furnished with comfy bed. Location close to rown centre with plenty of restaurants within walking distance meaning no need to use car when eating out or make use of well stocked kitchen facilities.
Picture postcard view, excellent location for amenities and fantastic local walks, helped by the lovely sunshine we enjoyed for most of our stay. Host contacted us beforehand, which was helpful and the parking made life much easier.
Perfect location and property exactly as described
We stayed in this property for 4 days recently. The property was exactly as described, ideally located, with beautiful views and all very calming. Emma was brilliant at keeping us informed regarding all aspects of the property and local area. Would highly recommend this property
This holiday apartment is in a perfect position on the estuary the view from the patio window changes all the time yachts rowing boats wild life. close to town . We had a very relaxing week in a great little apartment
We have just returned home after a great week. The apartment is lovely and the views are just amazing!!! Its in a great location, shops and places to eat are in easy walking distance. We will definitely return as missing the views already.
I am not very mobile so find this apartment ideal. I don’t think it would work for a wheelchair user but ideal if on sticks or crutches. New shower amazing!
Beds very comfy.
If weather unfavourable, wonderful views from the patio doors.
A really good apartment, beautiful location. Comfy beds, wall heaters efficient and we did need them this time in the evening, kitchen good. Lots to do and easy to get to, a short walk gets you to Porthmadog centre and to the Ffestiniog trains.
This ground floor apartment was perfect for mum husband and I and my 91 year old Mum. Walking distance to shops and cafes. Fantastic views from lounge and main bedroom and you can even see the steam train coming and going. Would definitely stay here again. Great to speak to Emma too before we went who answered any questions I had.

About the host
Hosted by Emma Patchett
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.
