Same reason why we gave Portmeiron a miss in addition to it being over priced!

Why does having a dog stop you going to Portmerion? We've had dogs on & off for over 30 years, the dog stays in the car / MH if we want to go round a National Trust house or English  Heritage / Historic Scotland castle or a "yellow book" NGS or SGS garden open for charity. Obviously not if it's really hot & sunny, but then you'd check him/her into local doggy daycare aka kennels; however, we've always found somewhere under a tree, left the MH vent & windows open, water out, and the dog has never ever been distressed. 

You can't let a dog rule your life.... They sleep overnight on their own, so they can be on their own for 8 hours now & then for a special specific reason, your visit to Portmerion won't take that long. You could always come out of Portmerion to give the dog a comfort break after a few hours and then go back in.

Bodnant is beautiful but I'm not sure it compares to Portmeirion does it? Portmeirion, in my humble opinion, is hideous and run down.

I am glad I am not the only one that thinks that!

I must admit I was soooo disappointed with Portmeirion. I wanted to go for years and none of the kids wanted to so I had to wait to move up here to do a day trip with the new BF at the time (he is my hubby now).

I thought it was overpriced to get in and overpriced once in there. I have only returned once and that was to do the first trail run in April 2014. I would not go again if it was free entry.

It is hyped up to be something that it is not in my eyes - it needs a lick of paint in places and prices to come down.
