Portmeirion Village is unique. It was built by Clough Williams Ellis between 1925 and 1975. Williams Ellis wanted to create a thing of beauty but conserve the area. The result proves that he achieved his ambition, Portmeirion village, built on his privately owned Snowdonian peninsular, nestles in the Gwyllt sub-tropical gardens and woodlands with miles of sandy beaches. The village is owned by a charity, The Second Portmeirion Foundation, and the cottages are let by the Portmeirion Hotel.
