I grew up watching The Prisoner so visiting here was a treat. It’s a very beautifully weird place, a idealistic view of an Italian town in stunning Cymru. The “town” is not large but the experience is truly unique, we enjoyed the long walk around the property through the woodland. I’m shocked at some of the other reviews on here, as before I visit anywhere I check prices and activities etc online beforehand. I think the price is acceptable for caring for the large site, and as it’s a treat visit on a holiday definitely worth it. All the staff we spoke to were lovely and friendly, it was wonderful hearing the native language being spoken (something I adored as currently learning). All in all it was a lovely visit. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Beautiful place but way over priced! If we didn’t already travel so far to see it we probably wouldn’t have gone in. I don’t get why it’s priced so high for what it is and most of the bits were private or shut. But the actual area is beautiful.

We stayed for 4 nights in the excellent Belvedere accommodation that was value for money with beautiful views from the property and everything you expect and more for a self catering stay. We ate at the the hotel and castle, that although appear expensive, deliver value for money. The weather was not great but really enjoyed the village and gardens. An outstanding experience.

We went to portmerion late in the afternoon thinking we wouldn’t have enough time to see it all.How wrong we where, within an hour we had seen everything and heading home. The only thing that was missing was the odd roller coaster. Over priced theme park, don’t waste your money.

Had a great experience at Port Meirion . What a fantastic host at the main gate to meet Amanda who can add sparkle and professionalism to any rainy day as it was on Friday 20th October . She assisted so well with explaining About the village and even gave us both a black plastic bag to sit on through the rain ☔🌧️! 🤗 The village itself was inspiring and I couldn't help but continuously admire the 'creativity' and attention to detail from the inspiring 'Clough Williams -Ellis: for all the great work spanning over 50 years of craftsmanship and architecture .. Such a wonderful day out and the staff at the Portmeirion Hotel were lovely too..nice coffee ! 🍮. A great day out even in the pouring rain Thank you Mandy Hill

Absolutely stunning location. Highly recommend the motor home park... It was £55 a night, but that included entrance to the village (which is £18 per person), WiFi, electric, showers and toilets.. and a TV hook up.. the staff are so wonderful, so attentive and kind, the food in the restaurant is beautiful, the views are spectacular and the staff were amazing!

Portmerion could be expensive, but as I am over 60 and disabled my companion came for free, so our entry was £14.50 for both of us. The blue badge parking was close to the entry and the free guide shows the accessible routes. There is an app, but it would not work on my 'phone. We spent a pleasant 2 hours looking at architecture and wandering through the woodland.

Seems to be a divisive place this. I think we paid around £40 for 2 adults and 1 child. I am a fan of The Prisoner and mainly went because I wanted to see where it was filmed. I loved the beautiful architecture and little nooks and crannies, for example the shell covered viewing platform hidden away. I can see some people’s point about there not being physical information and it all being on the app. We personally didn’t look at the app and just wandered round. I think physical boards would deter from the beauty of the place. We had food (chips and a halloumi wrap) which came to around £14.50, both tasted very good and the halloumi wrap was made from scratch. The cafe, I would avoid though, there seems to be no system, some people paying first then getting food, others visa versa. We went round in a couple of hours and don’t regret going.

We booked a Be our Guest break & stayed 2 nights at the Castell , it was amazing right from the start check in was helpful & friendly . The room was a wow spotlessly clean & had everything you needed , plug sockets positioned really well all around the room plenty of seating in room , beautiful bathroom with Bath & shower , a nice little kitchenette, the views were amazing down to the estuary & over the garden , the ladies who done the rooms were amazing they came in as a little team & done everything. Breakfast at the Castell not as good as the hotel smaller offering ( also sham they didn’t have the fruit compote which was on the menu ) we had dinner at the hotel the first night which was very good & good service, second night ate at the Castle also very good especially the desert apple & cinnamon pie with 3 different ice creams the pie very light & just a tiny square but plenty apple flavour ice cream & like a green bomb filled with ice cream it was wonderful . The village is magical we were lucky enough to see it by day & also illuminated at night , nice shops with good Welsh offering, I bought the same dressing gown in the Ship shop ( in a bag for £25 , the Castell & hotel charge £30 ) the pot Jam shop have a wonderful selection of Welsh products some lovely gift ideas. We done walk from village through the woods amazing tree colours , lovely Chinese lake we followed the lighthouse route as the beach would of been too much for us , we ended up at hotel for a nice cuppa . Thank you Portmeirion

We booked a long weekend staying in one of the cottages in Portmerian village on a dinner, bed & breakfast late deal, and had a fabulous time. Nestled into a Welsh hillside is an Italian style, architectural gem of a village, made famous by the TV series Prisoner. The cottage we stayed in was nicely furnished, with extremely comfortable beds and period (1920s-1930s) decor. Although not one of the self catering cottages it had a fridge freezer and kettle / coffee maker etc. But the thing that we loved the best about it was the amazing view of the village and down to the estuary. Meals were taken mostly in the Hotel, down by the beach, where the staff were friendly & attentive. We ate from both the set menu and treated ourselves to the tasting menu on the last night. All the food, whether breakfast or dinner was absolutely amazing - extremely delicious, varied, and the chef used many local and Welsh products in the menu. The village itself is quite small, and can be easily walked around in 15 minutes or so (although there is also transport provided in small buggies if you are less able to get around, it’s raining, or have eaten too much! There are several places to get meals, refreshments or ice creams, and the village itself is a tourist destination in its own right. Further out there are gardens and woodland walks with a ‘tree trail’. The autumn colours were stunning. All the staff we met, whether they were housekeeping, buggy drivers, groundskeepers, shop workers or in the restaurants & cafes, from the time we checked in to the time we left were helpful, polite and a real credit to Portmerian. I cannot recommend this place too highly for couples wishing to spend a few days away or small group of friends.
