ABOUT PORTMEIRION

Portmeirion was designed & built by architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis from 1925 to 1978 in the style of an Italian village. 

Clough wanted to show how the development of a naturally beautiful site need not lead to its defilement, his motto was:-

“Cherish the Past, Adorn the Present, Construct for the Future”

Portmeirion gave Clough pleasure during his life and he hoped that it would give pleasure to others.

### 5/5 — A visit not to be missed

*2025-05-21, version 2.0.0*

What a spectacular village. Well worth a visit. The buildings are spectacular. So pleased to see that they are all listed buildings. The architect certainly made his point. Love it.

### 2/5 — Map hard to use and tide times look wrong

*2025-05-16, version 2.0.0*

The map only has limited zoom, is slow to respond and it’s hard to find any single building. The tide times appear to be on GMT not BST and are one hour out from other sources

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-12-07, version 2.0.0*

The app was really helpful as a preview before our stay. I can’t recommend Portmeirion enough. We had an absolutely fabulous stay in early December. We stayed in Upper Pilot, a village suite and it was delightful. Newly refurbished, wonderfully comfortable and superb views across the estuary and parts of the village. When you step out of your room you are right there in the village. Food is excellent. Free transport on demand to get around if needed. Stunning location. Plenty to see and do. A gorgeous and interesting retreat. Relaxing and special.

### 5/5 — Truly amazing

*2024-10-13, version 1.2.0*

Easy to find, amazing buildings, stunning food and THE nicest staff. The room was spacious, the view stunning. Absolutely brilliant

### 4/5 — Download before you arrive

*2024-08-27, version 1.2.0*

Great app. Really useful. Take the time to download before you arrive. Network and WiFi coverage wasn’t great and this app is so useful. Couldn’t download on site easily

### 4/5 — Great but frustrating!

*2024-07-03, version 1.2.0*

I think the app is great but when exploring I chose the sort by ‘Near Me’ and it didn’t seem to work very well, hence only 4 stars. Please note it won’t stop me coming back. I love this place!

### 4/5 — Useful but battery hungry

*2024-06-04, version 1.2.0*

I used the app around the village to read and listen to the history. The spoken commentary is generally a subset of the written text but sometimes appears to contain unique information so I needed to read and listen to both for the whole story.  I enabled location services and was surprised by the amount of battery that the app consumes - 44% today meaning my battery is nearly flat, an unusual occurrence for me. I have now exited the app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-03-06, version 1.0.3*

Great place to visit and great app.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-03-03, version 1.0.3*

We have visited three times now and really love it.  There is a such a nice atmosphere and we enjoy the fact that we can access the beach and the woodland walk too

### 1/5 — DIDN’T WORK FOR ME

*2022-11-01, version 1.0.2*

Sadly, it wouldn’t work for me. I got as far as “Explore” and then it cut out. This happened repeatedly.
