- spx522Dubai, United Arab Emirates33 contributionsWeekend visit - staying in the villageWe had a weekend - 2 nights there and had a really good time. The Weather could have been better, but it really didn’t spoil the weekend, we got a couple of walks in. It was good to have access to the village ‘out of hours’ although it wasn’t that busy in the day (maybe due to weather) We last stayed there about 18 years ago, things have been improved greatly, the rooms have been upgraded and the facilities are really good. There are buggy’s to take you between the residents car park and the main facilities (like the Village rooms, the castle etc.) if staying or eating there, so there aren ‘t any cars allowed near the buildings. The architecture is still really appealing, we had visited Italy this year and so it was interesting to compare.Visited August 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten February 12, 2024
- cmay22Evesham, United Kingdom141 contributionsNice visitHad a nice few hours. I think it would be more beautiful during the summer however. Some gorgeous views from so many different area. The buildings are beautiful however there was alot more unaccessible for the public even after paying to get in. However the price was only £10 each and for around 3 hours of walking and views it seemed worth it.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 22, 2024
- abstopsHarrogate, United Kingdom62 contributionsFebruary visitWe visited on a beautiful day in February with the bluest of skies which made the experience much better than it otherwise might have been. As other reviewers have mentioned, much of the site is ‘private’ because it is holiday accommodation so you can’t walk everywhere. Most of the cafes etc were also shut because it’s early in the season. Those that were open were sad and slightly scruffy and desolate. All that said, it’s definitely worth a visit.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 26, 2024
- goldenoldie20 contributionsHmmmmErm… well… beautiful views. I wouldn’t return however. The whole place had a strange, unnerving quality. Surreal in an unpleasant way. Staff in the two cafes we visited were devoid of all life, I wanted to ask, “who has died?!”. Just a very dead atmosphere. Too quiet. Not peaceful, just… empty. Woodland could be amazing, so much potential, but in need of care. Camping / motor home facilities good, glad we didn’t pay the £20 fee to visit the village (free entry with camper). Lots of empty shops. Wouldn’t recommend. Had high hopes. Such a shame.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 8, 2024
- Leanne JLiverpool, United Kingdom33 contributionsNice views quirky little placeWas a beautiful to walk around very quirky the architecture was stunning. I have always wanted to go here. I'm glad I have visited ... would I visit again ? Probably not I feel a lot could be done with the place and it could be amazing. The costal walk was beautiful but overall I Found the place a bit derelict. The cafes had no life in them I just felt there was something missing it had an eerie feel to itVisited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten March 11, 2024
- Owen34 contributionsA Village StayWonderfully unique place to stay the village accommodation was a little luxury with the views of the estuary and the staff were our sunshine breakfast was delicious. Something to see around every corner. We had a lovely lunch in the cafe and indulged in ice creams followed by walking it off on all of the great trails to be followed by a naughty hot chocolate we earned it ! Beautiful place to visit and Clough had such a great vision and it’s an inspiring destination in a stunning part of the world.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 14, 2024
- Natalia ADartford, United Kingdom26 contributionsStunning!For anyone thinking wether this is worth a visit, I can guarantee this is more than worth it! I have no words to explain what it looks like, have a look online at pics or vids and trust me, it is just as wonderful as it looks. I spoke to some of the staff and they were wonderful, very informative, polite, friendly and professional, the views are outstanding and you get unexpected stuff at every corner, it really is a whole experience on its own, I would recommend it 100%Visited March 2024Traveled soloWritten March 14, 2024
- Gwilym PBenllech, United Kingdom147 contributionsThe quirky things well worth hunting.My first time in over 50 years and 1st time fir my friend. Admission was a reasonable £10 per person and parking was free, please not this was February. I recommend a very leisurely walk and look for curious and unexpected items among the rocks,buildings and plants.The view of the Dwyryd Estuary provides an ideal opportunity for landscape photo. There are far too many building,sculptures etc to mention,therefore go there and find them.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 19, 2024

Gorgeous scenery from our balcony looking over the village, lovely rooms with a bonus sitting room and cupboard kitchen. What a treat, the staff was all friendly and the food was delicious. Needless to say, we are already planning a return visit.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 23, 2024
- Moh C2 contributionsApproximately Italy on a Sunny DayWe were lucky that it was a sunny day. The views were good and it had a semi-Italian feel to it. The entry fee is a bit high imo as you can cover the entire place in 30 min. If you're vegetarian/ vegan, food options will be limited in the area. You can also go walk along the coast if you fancy but March is a bit cold to get the full Italian feel. Overall good experience but may not be entirely Italian if that's what you want it to get out of it.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 25, 2024

Second time here and whilst an interesting place, it's now far too expensive for what is little more than a walk round the old film set of The Prisoner. The souvenir shop has gone downhill a bit too, remember buying a 'Rover' weather balloon and blazer from there last time, this time a lot less to choose from. If they keep putting up the price to enter the phrase will soon be 'won't be seeing you' with a v-sign.

You self-direct your time in Portmeirion and having stayed for two nights and three days, we will definitely be returning to experience the charm and calm of the place in future.
Portmeirion is most definitely not “Disneyland for Wales”, as someone suggested and the comparison is not useful.
Portmeirion is the creation of an architect who wanted to fuse nature and his own favourite elements of architecture, to create a truly unique space. Some features were gifted from iconic locations, and others were simply creations of the imagination of the architect.
No one lives in Portmeirion, save maybe the staff who look after guests in the two hotels (Castle and the one in the village) and you can book to stay in the village overnight, which gives you access to the village in the evening once day visitors have left, and first thing in the morning, before day guests join, and this is the perfect time to explore without crowds.
You can explore the village itself, made famous from a 1970s British TV show called “The Prisoner”, and there is a huge area of forest and Beach surrounding to be discovered. The idea is to explore and discover things yourself, not to have someone tour guide you around.
The “private” /“residents only” signs are for where the people staying as guests are staying and you can’t access these rooms unless you are the guest staying in the specific room.
We stayed in the Upper Arches for two night in early September and had a lovely stay.
Portmeirion is not easy to navigate if you have impaired mobility, so be aware when deciding to visit - there are many steps and hills.
The dog cemetery is a particularly lovely and mindful place to visit, with a statue of a good dog to greet you at the entrance, with a lovely pile of sticks gifted by visitors.
The restaurants in both the main hotel and the castle serve distinctly average food (sorry folks, but it is), at high prices, however, the buildings and atmosphere are very nice and almost make you forget the food is overpriced. It’s more about the experience, so enjoy it for what it is, which is a wonderful location and story, rather than fine dining.
Weddings are also catered to and the food is perfectly lovely for a wedding reception (but again - not fine dining).
We had breakfast in the room on our first morning, and sadly, the finished plates, including fish, were not cleared away, so the smell of fish greeted us each time we walked through the door to our apartment.
You won’t find a huge amount to entertain children here, unless they are happy exploring with you.
The ice cream in one of the cafes was excellent and we enjoyed several scoops here on both days.
The staff were all very friendly, polite, and helpful, particularly the people driving the buggies.
Wi-Fi in the room was not worth having and hardly worked, and there is very poor connection signal across the whole of Portmeirion, so if you need a signal, this isn’t going to be the place for you.
A truly lovely experience and a great place to simply walk around, chat, sit, relax, people watch and take everything a little bit more slowly.

We booked a stay in a village room as an anniversary break. The new arrival process at the Castell was great and the room had a lovely view. Unfortunately the bathroom has significant damage to the shower wall and there was no hot water. We were moved to the room next door, again lovely view but barely enough hot water for the two of us to have a shower.
Dinner in the Castell was lovely but the atmosphere not so good - no music playing. We also didn’t appreciate being charged 10% tip on the total cost of the meal when on an inclusive dining package.
When we got back to the room we were unable to turn down the heating so we struggled to sleep. Unable to open the windows due to a storm outside.
Raised these issues prior to checkout. The bill was adjusted re the dinner tip but reception did not bother to respond to our issues with heating and lack of hot water.
Given the cost of a stay for one night, we were disappointed with the service from reception when reporting issues and this would affect our decision to stay again. It’s a shame as we have stayed a number of times both in the village and the Castell.

I visited here many years ago as a child on a family holiday and have always wanted to visit with my now husband. As were up in North Wales we decided to pay a visit, but sadly it did not live up to either of our expectations.
The lady who served us on the gate (Amanda?) was very helpful and informative but we were shocked to find the entry was £20 per person. As we have always wanted to visit as a couple we paid the entry fee and had a wander around.
The buildings are lovely but we were disappointed to find that a lot of the village was closed off to day visiters and was reserved for guests only.
After an hour or so of walking around the weather began to turn so my husband decided he wanted a coffee. The Town Hall was rather busy so we decided to try the Angel Cafe across the way.
As soon as we walked in the atmposphere there was awful. There were aroud 4 embers of staff who looked at us when we walked in but said nothing. After a few minutes of looking at the ice creams if was apparent that the staff were not even speaking to each other. My husband made a joke about eveyone being miserable when a young woman responded that staff were being"monitered" by mangement. This left us feeling rather uncomfortable, so were ordered our coffees and left.
On the whole, it was ok to spend a couple of hours and it would have been a better experince on a nicer day. But due to how expensive it is to enter and the bad staff morale, I don't think we will be visiting again anytime soon.

I've heard of Portmeirion Village but had never visited in all the times I have been to North Wales and finally I got the opportunity. I was very glad I did!
It's a little expensive to buy a day ticket however if you are planning on coming back it is worth getting a year pass as this is the same as the cost of two adult visits.
The directions are pretty straightforward to get to and it is very well signposted. You drive along a fairly long driveway to arrive at a large car park. We arrived fairly early and I was surprised to see how busy it was already as there were already a few coach parties arriving.
You can buy tickets in advance or at the gate. I had already got ours on the internet and it made for a fairly smooth admission. I would definitely recommend getting a guide book to tell you so much more about the history of the village and Clough Williams-Ellis and the work that he and his family did to preserve and village and enhance it.
I was aware of the village as a result of the TV show The Prisoner. A friend also made me aware that Siouxsie and the Banshees films a video here to one of their songs.
I would recommend taking a walk around the whole of the village and down to the riverside for some glorious views of the river and Snowdonia. I did not realise that Clough Williams-Ellis was influential in the formation of the Snowdonia National Park.
Within the village there are lots of lovely buildings and there are some small things set in the walls and pillars which are worth checking out. Looking at the guidebook definitely helped us to identify some of these lovely little quirky things.
It's also worth taking a walk through the woods. I know someone said the walk to the pagoda was a waste but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially as two robins came to join us.
There are a couple of shops within the village and a postbox you can use to mail people from the village. I would recommend a visit to the Prisoner shop for some memorabilia from "The Village".
A truly wonderful, inspiring place to visit.

I visited Portmeirion Village for the first time at the end of June and found the place to be absolutely idyllic. From the beginning we were off to a great start, free parking can't be bad this day and age, followed by greetings from the warm and welcoming staff at the entrance booths. We had made a reservation for lunch in the Portmeirion Hotel, a good thing to note is that if you book for lunch the entrance fee of £20 per person to the village is free. You just tell them you have a booking and they check your reservation, and away you go. The walk through the delightful buildings in the village, winding your way down to the harbour was a delight. The place puts you in awe of the foresight Clough Williams Ellis had to for the idea to build such a place.
We headed to the restaurant at the hotel and had a meal that was not just delicious but also an exceptional standard. I recommend the chocolate torte, but also the choux bun, hard to say which was the best. With the entrance fee deducted from the price of the lunch, it made it that lunch for two came to about £27.50, and I had a glass of wine too.
I can't wait to return to this lovely place and stay in the hotel. I reckon the place at night must look even more enchanting.

I have wanted to go here for years. Mainly because Prisoner was filmed here.
When I finally did it was such a let down.
The entry fee is a rip off. The buildings are dirty and run down. You cant go in any buildings. There is nothing to interact with.
Everywhere is private or residence only. There are a couple of shops and a cafe which are vastly overpriced. Small ice cream £4!! The highest I’ve ever seen! There is just nothing to do! Why is there even an entry fee when people spend upwards of £360 a week to stay here?
Total rip off and waste of time.

Was a lovely place to walk around but for £18 per Adult, this is very over priced! Enjoyed my time but would not revisit or recommend for anyone on a budget. We spent most of our time on the beach admiring the wildlife and views (something you could do for free if you researched your tide timings). Although the building as nice, there isn't really opportunity for children to explore or interaction opportunities which meant the kids got bored quite quickly. The food there was also quite expensive so if you're planning on spending the day there I would recommend snacks/picnic if you want to save the pennies.

We found it tricky to locate and surprised that Portmeirion is barely signposted.
It was an unwelcome surprise to be required to pay £20 each for the apparent privilege of going into the village.
The building are on a small scale usually accompanied by a private, keep out sign.
The situation is utterly wonderful but there’s little to do apart from visit shops selling merchandise at inflated prices, and visit cafes or hotels which equally seem somewhat “off”. We visited at a time when the tide was in, so there was no opportunity to walk on the beach.
It had the sensation of visiting a beautifully located Disney venue but without the rides and related characters who greet you.
I will not be returning.

We stayed in motorhome park so entry to Portmerion Village was included in the cost, as was access out of hours and use of the pool (which made it good value).
We stayed for 2 nights so we were able to visit the village for 3 days - we discovered something new every day and loved it! As well as the village, there’s the woodlands and coastal walks to explore.
We would really recommend downloading the free app or buying a guide book to get the most from your visit - the history and detail of the architecture and sculptures is fascinating! The staff we met were so welcoming and helpful - they were really an asset to the whole experience.
We ate at the hotel one night, which was also wonderful.
Well worth a visit, yes it’s the setting of The Prisoner but so much more. (Oh, and the pool was lovely and warm even in April!)

I was considering booking dinner or afternoon tea at Portmeirion for the 5 of us. I expected it to be costly but I can’t seem to find prices for children? Surely afternoon tea or dinner would offer a reduced rate for kids? Mine already eat like birds so the high prices seem insane for them?

Hi if we visit here in the summer with children can we spend the day here and sit on the beach many thanks

£18 entry free for adults, not sure what a family ticket costs. But yes, pay for your ticket and you can stay till it ‘closes’ to the general public - you have access to the beach

Yes but we thought it was terribly expensive. We always take a picnic when we go out for the day but there are cafes and restaurants there plus an ice cream parlour which we did use, the ice cream was delicious and a reasonable price.
