Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

The garden is very interesting with many small rooms flanked by Yew and Box hedges. Each room has its own focal point which could be a statue or a mountain. Very well kept and a pleasure to walk around.
The cafe was good too. We had lovely salads with a delicious cucumber pickle.

A little hidden gem of a garden. So peaceful and very well kept. Gorgeous views of the mountains. Cafe was closed but looked nice. Toilets and good parking, pay and display. Walks in the woods too. An honesty box on the back of the gate if no one is in the cafe. Rhs members get in free.

One of a few Grade 1 listed gardens in N Wales, Plas Brondanw, provides a horticultural legacy of garden structure that Sir Clough Williams Ellis made to his family home. Avenues, pathways, terraces each are aligned to the mountain peak of ‘Y Cnicht’ whose Matterhorn like peak lies near to the home. Statues, topiary with extravagant pinnacles bring contrast to lead the eye to another apex. The terraced lawn is dominated by an aged holm oak, and a mixed border of apple trees and perennials runs the length of the lower terrace. A charming orangerie displays the classic CWE style as does the much photographed arched lodge near the entrance. The house is now open to the public displaying an exhibition of the creative artwork and ceramics of the talented family. The cafe provides an excellent place for a light lunch, where fresh ingredients shine, and local seeded bread makes a perfect match.

These gardens are well worth a visit if you have an interest in Portmeirion. As a bonus the house was open at the visit and is well worth a look with an art display currently on.
The parking situation had changed since I visited previously. There is a pay and display meter and it says £2 charge card only refundable at the cafe with a ticket. I went through the process as best I could (instructions are in Welsh). I did not get a parking ticket same as the people before me. When I mentioned this on entry at the cafe I didn't get a clear response. Some people I met in the car park who made purchases in the cafe said they got a refund (maybe they were wrong?). Looking at my statement I do not appear to have been charged but the whole process is confusing and needs to be sorting out. Not sure why they are charging for parking since you have to pay for entry.

Regrettably the website for the gardens and Historic Houses were not accurate about the opening times. We originally felt the gardens were closed as there was no sign of life. However, bolder folk tried the gate and let us know we could go in. As we had historic houses membership the visit was free. We trust others paid using the honesty box in the reverse of the gate.
The garden is divided into multiple rooms with views into the distant mountains and sculptures around every corner. A huge assortment of hydrangeas with different forms and colours frames one garden border and well maintained topiary other margins.
Across the road a walk through woodland leads to a 100 year old tower, built as a folly, but elaborated during WW11 to act as a defence tower and now offering spectacular panoramic vistas of the area.

This was a return visit to a garden that made a great impression when we first visited some years ago. Our return visit on a beautifully clear summer's day did not disappoint.
The garden really is exquisite. It is not one for plantsmen, but as an architectural creation in the classical tradition it is one of the finest and thre are probably no better examples of borrowed views than the way the avenues and hedges here are aligned to frame the surrouding peaks to give one of the finest views of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and especially of Knicht ("the Welsh Matterhorn").
A visit here is balm to the soul!

Great small garden to visit with wonderful views of Snowdonia framed by the gorgeous Portmeirion blue gates and with lovely buildings.

Plas Brondanw really is a hidden gem. Every bit as lovely as Portmeirion, but without the other visitors. While we were there I think there were only four other small family groups visiting. It was a pleasant Sunday afternoon in August (some sun and some showers)... but still very few people.
The gardens are those of Clough Williams-Ellis own home, where he lived from 1908 to 1978. Most of the garden pre-dates his work on Portmeirion. They are an amazing example of gardens in an arts and crafts style, sitting perfectly in their landscape - close to the mountains and the coast. There are Italian elements as at Portmeirion, with yew trees and lime trees giving structure. It also has a theatrical quality, as if a troop of performers will enter from the side. Don;t miss the walk up to the monument and folly - a castle like feature in the woods. Which has lovely views back to the coast.
The gardens are clearly well maintained (and loved) without being overly fussy. The day we visited the tearoom/ cafe was closed (the toilets are still open even when the cafe is closed). So we moved to the very nearby, and recently re-opened Brondanw Arms for lunch. A lovely day out.
The day we visited there was an honesty box for garden admission and the parking you pay by card. Historic Homes members are free.

We arrived on a hot summer's day, was so surprised at this beautiful garden what a gem, we all enjoyed the cafe just what is needed after the past year and a half.. we also loved the back drop of the Welsh mountains breathe taking... the garden is well maintained and could tell that efforts where under way to sort the flower beds which run the length of the main garden, for anyone with any knowledge of gardening this is a massive undertaking, so well done, we also noticed that lawns where being cut and wedding taking place, we spoke at length to who we found out only at the end of our conversation was the head gardener Kimberly,,, what a wealth of knowledge and passion for her work, we could not understand how she copes with such a demanding work load. She did mention that there is a volunteers.
There are 2 negative's, firstly the Privet Hedges these which happen to be one of the stand out features where unkept...even after a year and half of lockdown seem's odd to us....
2nd after doing a little research into both Portmeirion and Plas Brondanw it's appears that the family of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis still own both sites.. we are not sure who runs Portmeirion site,,but the Property at Plas Brondanw was Sir Clough Home and is run by this family,, you would think that THE FAMILY would care more for the latter but no.. from the slate paths which need attention to some of the statues.... everything left to 1 person reflects the real attitude of the owners. We would again like to thank the Kimberly Gardener for her love of plants and for the garden, keep up the good work.... as with most cases I imagine she receives little in the way of appreciation from those who should know better we might be wrong hope so.

Hello: This is the notice on the Plas Brondanw website about winter opening:-
Plas Brondanw Cafe will be closing its doors for the Winter on September 30th.
We would like to thank everyone that visited us this year for your continued support. It has been a very successful year.
I would like to emphasize that the gardens remain open all year round and access can be gained through the big blue gate to the right of the cafe doors, on the other side of which is an honesty box for admissions.
Also, please keep an eye on our news page for any upcoming events, such as special food evenings.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the Spring, so until then……..all the best……
Lowri Jones and Staff.

Yes it is dog friendly. Dogs however are not allowed in the cafe, but the big irony is that this is where you pay to get in.
