This immaculate, ground-floor apartment sits in an attractive, gated development of 16 flats and apartments, close to Porthmadog’s harbour and marina. Whistle Stop Apartment is a fantastic choice for couples or a small family seeking a superb location in this harbour town. Beyond the secure gates is a prestigious courtyard where you will find your allocated parking space. Discover the well-appointed kitchen/diner, where the house chef can impress with their favourite meals, before loading up the dishwasher and kicking back beside the TV in the lounge. On a warm day, throw open the French doors and take in those glorious harbour views, reminding you of this idyllic location. Start your nightly routine in the bathroom, with a choice of bath or shower to wash away the day, before finding comfort in a double or twin bedroom, both neatly presented. 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 wander along the glorious harbour where you can take a look at the exhibits on offer in the Maritime Museum or hop on board a vintage steam railway and soak up over 14 miles of charming country views. For a fun-filled day at the beach, venture to Borth Y Gest or Morfa Bychan, where you can spend an afternoon bathing on the sands and beachcombing the shores. With all this, plus the historic town of Caernarfon nearby, a holiday at Whistle Stop Apartment is sure to be packed with adventure.
