[mistericeman]

I hadn't noticed this before BUT Portmerion have put in place 23 motorhome pitches

Not the cheapest BUT when you weigh up the facilities available ...

And entrance to portmerion is £20 per person in main season ....

Thought the same ....

Doesn't seem to specify on WHAT type of assistance dogs though ....

Thinking one each of these for the whippets filled with a decent single malt would be no end of "assistance" to me ...

I was there last year and we really enjoyed our stay. I thought it was excellent value for money at £65 for the trip. It’s £20 each to enter so for £25 you get excellent facilities. Each pitch with hedge separation, great showers, two elsan points, fresh water, EHU and the best grey water facility I have yet to see. Also when the public have left you are free to go back if you want to take photos. I loved the Prisoner which was filmed there in the 60s. It’s a unique experience, when we were there it was the height of summer and a warm sunny day, we felt we were in Italy and not north Wales.

I've visited several times over the years and seen the ups and downs from slightly neglected to well kept and spanking looking ...

As you say cracking value ....especially with what's offered .

We stayed almost opposite last year at Lech just on outskirts of Harlech and walked over the Estuary almost to the concrete ship .

Lovely part of the world always round .

Here’s the thread I posted last year

Portmerion north Wales

As a fan of the prisoner from the 1960s starring Patrick McGoohan I always wanted to see where the series was filmed. So I booked a pitch in their Motorhome park. For £65 you got excellent facilities including great pitches each one secluded with hedging, EHU, excellent showers, two elsan...

If we visit again would take this up, last time we went it was raining as we entered on opening time, but the sun came out and we had quite sometime before the crowds came.

It is indeed . Was at Beamish recently, dogs not allowed virtually anywhere

We visited many years ago and were surprised to catch glimpses of `The Prisoner` dashing between buildings, complete with signature striped blazer.
If you're in Wales then St Fagans https://museum.wales/stfagans/ is a good visit with dogs and now features a reconstructed Cardiff pub. A charge for parking but otherwise free.

Your visit might have coincided with a Prisoner convention day - although no.6 didn't wear a striped blazer, it was black, with white piping round the collar and lapels!

Can’t understand the no dogs thing. Especially on beaches

You are probably right. It was quite a while ago and I'm very old now!

Can't remember them ever being allowed in portmerion ...
Certainly not on the occasions we've visited in the past .

We have 1 night booked for early June, looking forward to wandering around in the evening. Complimentary entry includes free use of the swimming pool. Found it on Search for Sites and initially thought it was too expensive but then spotted that complimentary access was included.

Presume still the same . Yes you can walk about outside with the dog but you can only take them into , I think , the 2 bars .
I mean the old co-op, for example , is a replica of an old drapers shop basically. Surely no health hazards ?

We don't have a dog so we aren't bovvered as it were. However if you have an electric vent fan in your camper roof which blows fresh air in, would that make it ok to leave doggy inside the van?
I fitted an electric extractor / impeller fan and it works brilliantly. Extracts fumes from kitchen, and blows cool air down when it's hot outside. And those with hair (not me) can dry their hair after a shower.
