On Sunday just gone (27/5/12). we decided to visit Portmeirion as we camping in Barmouth. I had always just thought it was a fancy garden (by the pics) how wrong was I. We had always wanted to visit but not had the chance, so this weekend given it was so hot we went. Quite expensive to get in but well... More

Visited Portmeirion on the weekend having moithered my other half about it for many years and was not overly impressed. It was £10 to get in but luckily our 2 yr old son was free. There was nothing for him to do. Due to having a pushchair we were restricted on where we could go. We were only there for... More

This is almost a theme park since it doesn't resemble anything Welsh. A good place to stop if you have had your fill of stone cottages and castle ruins. It's really a hotel designed as a small Italian village and the grounds are open to the public during the day (for a fee). It has some shops, café's and pathways... More

My 3rd visit and it still has that magical feel when you enter the village, from it's painted buildings, amazing architecture, all the little nooks and crannies that you come across as you make your way around the little streets. A breathtaking waterfront with picturesque views, even a ship built into the path for the children to play in. You... More

I loved it all, nothing to dislike about it. The architecture was incredable, Again very clean and well maintained with fabulous views. Everyone should visit it at least once in their lives

Portmeirion costs £10 to visit for the day, but this fee is halved if you visit after 3.30pm. Although the shops only stay open until 5.30ish, the grounds stay open till 7pm which is great for summer evenings. This whimsical little village is like nothing else you will ever visit - a series of winding streets and an eclectic mix... More

Initially I thought the £10 entrance fee a bit excessive but it was worth it. You probably wont spend more than an hour there but you will come away with some nice photos to show your friends.

Staff welcoming and helpful. Free transport round the site if you're not too good on your feet meant you could get down to the estuary without worrying about getting back.

Portmerion village is the best place to stay in North Wales without a doubt. The restaurant is first class and the restaurant staff, especially the head waiter, are brilliant. Efficient, organized, and the cuisine is excellent. The only proviso is, if oine stays at the Portmeirion, the restaurant menu does not change daily. This is a shame. The views into... More
