Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited on a quiet Sunday morning in Januray. There were no trains running as its seasonal but the volunteers were doing a great job with repotting and maintaining the platforms. We had some drinks in the cafe and sat in the window with a great view keeping warm.
The shop had a good selection of items and it would be great to come back in spring when there is more activity. We picked up a leaflet detailing all the activities throughout the year and there's a great choice.

Both steam trains to Caernarfon and Blaenau Ffestiniog depart from Porthmadog Station, where they were once also used to transport slate. In front of the station entrance there is an information stand, where a very kind lady provided us with all the information on the possible routes. Having already been to Caernarfon the day before, we opted for the other option. The station has remained the same as in the Victorian period with also a bar/restaurant.

The Porthmadog train station is a pleasant facility on the railway line. It is basic and serves the needs of local and visiting passengers well. It is a short walk to the town’s centre. The heritage train operates from a station near the harbour.

This was a little gem we found by accident. This railway station is very well kept and made very pleasant with hanging baskets and flowers etc. I am sure this place is used by film studios as it is well kept and authentic.

This is a very basic pub on the platform of the main line station. A waiting room with choice of real ale, friendly service, plenty of room but I don't think food is on offer. You can down your pint when you hear the train approaching and still make it to board before the doors close! Well worth a visit.

A very well kept station, its a bit like going back in time. All the staff are in keeping with the era, and are all well versed with what they are about. Had to smile when i saw the exit sign. It read ALLAN WAY OUT. I presume allan means way out in Welch. And im called Allen.
