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.

As to be expected we found the apartment clean, tidy and had sufficient seating . In the kitchen area there was no shortage of utensils , crockery or glassware. This is the first time we have been in accommodation where there has been a breakfast bar and we found it a refreshing change. The size of the bathroom was good , with in our opinion a very good walk in shower, the bathroom was only let down by having a broken chain on the sink plug. We were surprised when we initially opened the front door and saw a request to take our shoes off ( not mentioned in Sykes summary), which proved a little concerning, as pensioners we need supports in our shoes to walk, however we had slippers with us , which alleviated the problem to a certain extent. There is one further point that should be mentioned based on our experience of visiting many other rental accommodations and that is , the apparent lack of information on the appliances in the kitchen area, which we could not find it in the information pack. Whilst we list these points , you will always be compensated by the view through the patio window of the river , the harbour, boats and in the distance Eryri and that is the reason we keep returning to Oakley Wharf.

We could not have been happier with the place or the location. Exactly like the photos, comfortable and well equipped. We will definitely stay here again.

I consider the landlord could save money if they turned down the temperature on the hot water immersion heater. We also discovered, on vacuuming before leaving two oars by the side of the wardrobe & a deflated blow up boat under the bed, not that we would have used it with the sea level, even at high tide, was a drop of 20 feet. .
