What they say
“Exceptional! A group of four friends did Dinner, Bed and Breakfast and first off, and in hindsight for the experience, it was a complete bargain! £230 for single occupancy rooms, and for the overall experience was very good value. Drinks too, at the hotel, were good value. Around £45 for a good Chablis and £65 for the house Champagne was very fair. Food at the hotel was great. Service friendly. Environment stunning. The chaps in the buggies very friendly and the off site parking spot on. I could go on - but we all thought £230 was very good value and a real find. The demographic mid week was mostly retired couples and our younger and slightly noisy group was welcomed and catered for very well. Diolch.”
“"Had a wonderful Sunday lunch at Hotel Portmeirion; the food was delicious and the setting is stunning. Whole staff was wonderful but, A massive thank you to Himanshu, who was exceptional. He was incredibly helpful and cooperative, ensuring we had everything we needed. His service truly made the day special!"”
“We had afternoon tea here as we were curious about visiting Portmeirion for the first time, but found the £20 entry fee a bit steep, but if you book afternoon tea at the hotel you can visit the village for free. The afternoon tea was delicious. Lots of unusual teas to choose from, and catered to my nut allergy excellently. So much food, all delicious and the sweet treats of patisserie standard! We were on a break for our anniversary and even got a little anniversary surprise which was lovely of them. The only things we noted were my partner's coffee wasn't great, and despite the lovely dining room and the great view, it was lacking a bit of ambiance and some background music certainly would've helped. We had a lovely visit though and would recommend as a great way to visit Portmeirion”
“Had an evening meal here recently, as well as breakfast during our stay in the village. The food was exceptional - the best we've experienced in a long while. Really enjoyed it and will be going back.”
“This is a bit of a weird place. A bit Disney-like, as it's a "fake" village. The cafe's are a bit canteen-like and a bit naff. The staff were a bit grumpy and rude, ignoring customers and having a conversion with other staff members. Very grudging service, at each location I went into. And apart from that, the food was quite expensive. It's a very interesting place, due to its history, and the gardens and walk were lovely, however we wouldn't return.”
