About this property

A delightful ground floor apartment in an attractive, private, security-gated courtyard of a prestigious development of 16 flats and apartments, near Porthmadogs harbour and marina. This welcoming apartment is perfect for a romantic break for couples or an outdoor activity holiday for friends or a small family in this wonderful seaside location. There is secure parking close to the front door making access easier, and once inside you will find this to be a superb apartment offering good quality accommodation with a modern and light feel. This wonderful apartment has spotlighting throughout, and a well-appointed open plan living area, which includes a fitted kitchen with solid slate worktops, a lovely sitting area with comfy sofas, one being a sofa bed for that extra guest, and French doors that open out to a courtyard, where you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast or late supper. Both bedrooms are homely and well-appointed, with the main bedroom benefiting from a king-size double and the other room has a single bed. The apartment is within walking distance of all the town's facilities, including shops, pubs, restaurants and the famous narrow gauge Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Steam Railways. Take a stroll along the coast to the wonderful beach at Black Rock Sands, or explore the pretty village of Borth-y-Gest, enjoy the stunning landscapes, or visit the historic castles at Criccieth, Harlech and Caernarfon. Discover the Llyn Peninsula: with many watersports opportunities at Abersoch and the quaint fishing village of Aberdaron. Everything is so accessible, making this charming apartment the perfect place to stay all year round.

The harbour town of Porthmadog is situated on the Glaslyn Estuary and offers individual shops and restaurants, and is home to the Ffestiniog Railway. Close by is the pretty village of Borth Y Gest and the unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast.
