• "We all had a lovely stay at Bay View Apartment, the view out of the window was spectacular looking across the estuary and the mountains beyond, the apartment was well equipped and very clean and comfortable."

  20minute walk into Porthmadog which is home to the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway, about 30mins drive to snowdon, all in all a very convenient and very comfortable place to stay to explore Snowdonia. Fiona welcomed us with lots of cake which was much appreciated and was always at the end of the phone if we needed her. I would definitely recommend a stay in Bay View Apartment you will not be disappointed. Diane

• "We so enjoyed this property found it very well equipped and have to say the Sofas were the most comfortable ones we have found in the properties we have stayed in."

  We felt very welcomed in this stay and view out of the lounge window is spectacular with a view over the harbour, we will be going back to this property in the future.

  Hello Dennis, It’s great to get such good feedback! So glad you enjoyed the sofas….they are a new addition, and the view of course. We will be delighted to welcome you and your party back, it was a pleasure having you all to stay. All the best, Fiona. Property Owner

• "Great position & views."

  Apartment felt spacious & well cared for. Access to a parking space in a busy season is useful though the public car park is close by. We had fantastic sunny weather for our September stay & had a lovely week, thank you.

  Thank you John for the great feedback. I’m very glad you enjoyed your stay at Bay View Apartment and found the new dedicated parking space a bonus. Many thanks, Fiona. Property Owner

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bayview Apartment."

  The property is clean, cosy and well equipped. The owner is very helpful even taking the trouble to call us at lunch time on the day of arrival to say the property was ready and we could check in anytime. The views over the bay are lovely and I took great pleasure drinking my early morning cuppa sat in one of the comfy rocking chairs in the bay window watching the dog walkers. Borth-Y-Gest is ideal for exploring Snowdonia and you are right on the coastal path.

• "We all had a lovely stay at Bay View Apartment."

  The location of the Apartment could not have been improved on, as is as close to the sea as it can be and has the most enchanting view over the Bay. The large windows of the open plan living space frame the magnificent sea within the bay and the majestic mountains beyond it. The extraordinary scenery changes on hourly based and depending on the amount of sunshine changes colours as well. No wonder that Borth-y-Gest is considered Porthmadog’s beauty spot. The Apartment is large, comfortable in every sense. The interior is furnished well and aesthetically pleasing. It offers plenty of space for all, children and adults alike. The kitchen is very well equipped if one wishes to prepare even most elaborate of meals. We loved the bathrooms that were spacious and showers with excellent pressure and lovely hot water. The linen and towels were lovely and had a scent of fresh air. The beds were comfortable ensuring good night rest. Our lovely Hostess Fiona welcomed us on our arrival and guided us to our parking area. She also kindly gifted us with some lovely local cookies, chocolate and bottles of milk for much needed cup of tea after our journey. We had a lovely weather through out of our stay and even the temporary showers were enjoyed indoors looking at the outstanding scenery all around us. The coast in Borth-y-Gest is beautiful and lends itself for walks and number of small beaches are perfect for making sand castles and flying kites. The big Plus of staying in the Apartment is its proximity to the Restaurant that is situated on the ground floor with tasty dishes that are on offer there and Cafe/Bistro next door that offers wide range of meals, lovely coffee and delicious ice cream. Both venues are well known in the area for tasty food and always in demand. Porthmadog 20 min walk away offeres a wide range of shops and supermarkets, few charity shops and couple of antique shops with interesting objects. Our memories of our stay in the Apartment and our visit to Borth-y-Gest will always be full of beauty and comfort. We are very happy to recommend this apartment in this location for all who seek rest from hustle and bustle of busy life and seek to restore harmony to mind&body and spirit.

  Hi Teresa, I’m glad you all got back safely. It was an absolute pleasure to have you all to stay in Bay View Apartment. I’m so glad you enjoyed the spacious facilities, crisp linen, complimentary local chocolate and cookies etc. In particular, delighted you enjoyed the home cooked food/cakes/ice cream and coffee from Sea View Bistro our Restaurant, which has just been nominated for another Welsh Food Award this year. I do hope you will be able to visit us again sometime soon, we would be thrilled to see you all again. All the best, Fiona, Henry and Katie. Property Owner

• "This property served us extremely well - 4 adults and a 3-year old."

  It was spacious and comfortable. The location was superb, overlooking the bay. It was within easy walking of numerous small coves and beaches which were mostly sandy - great for the 3-year old. The apartment was also within a 15-20 minute mostly level walk of Porthmadog, so the car mostly remained parked up! There were also lovely woodland walks behind the apartment which provided a nice alternative to the coast. The apartment is dog-friendly. The owner was extremely obliging and able to help with any problems as she lived close by. All round we had a super holiday and would have no doubt in recommending it to family and friends. We look forward to returning.

  Thank you Graeme, It was lovely to meet your family. So glad you enjoyed the views over the bay from Bay View Apartment, it’s a great location! We do try our utmost to ensure our visitors have the best holiday possible, and it’s great to get your feedback, much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you all back in the near future.

  It is well equipped, cleaned and maintained and very comfortable - especially the rocking chairs in the bay window to enjoy the view. The position is perfect with excellent views across the bay and walks from the door along the coastal path or just a few minutes walk into Porthmadog. It is a holiday for dogs too!

  Clean, comfortable, very well equipped, and the location looking out over Borth-y-Gest harbour is just fabulous! Sitting in a rocking chair looking out at the wonderful view and seeing the tide come slowly in - idyllic. Lots of walks nearby, the shops of Porthmadog just over the hill and all the joys of Snowdonia within easy driving distance. And an outstandingly good café just downstairs. Wow. One tiny niggle: in these days of total recycling and waste management the property really does need a full size food waste bin.The little counter-top one isn’t enough for a whole week’s potato peel and banana skins!

  Hi Fennie, thanks for your kind comments, particularly about our Bistro! Will look into the food waste bin situation, thanks for pointing out, good point. Would love to welcome you back again. Property Owner

  The best feature of the apartment is definitely the views over the tidal estuary - whatever the weather or time of day the view was stunning. Away from the windows the apartment is well equipped and comfortable with ample space for our family of four plus dog. The friendly owner lives nearby and we were made to feel very welcome. Lots to do straight from the front door with beautiful beaches, walks and the downstairs cafe/take-away. More stunning beaches are a short drive away and the mountains and walks of Snowdonia are easily accessible by car. We had a brilliant two weeks and would recommend the apartment and the area.

  It was great to have you to stay, so pleased you had a good fortnight. Please come again! Property Owner
