Love the Portland Guest House, fantastic location for wide choice of restaurants in the town. The place is always spotless and the staff are so friendly. Entry is now via key box system and breakfast has moved over to Continental only. This still offers a good choice of food and drinks. Defo recommend the place.

Lovely pet friendly place. Tastefully decorated rooms that were spotlessly clean and tidy. The self check in was convenient and worked well. Rooms quite cold at times and vegan options weren't provided at breakfast on at least one of the days, despite me advising the property of my requirements twice in advance of arrival. Would certainly stay again.

The room was warm and clean; the beds were comfortable and the shower was good. The welcome could have been a little more effusive. Breakfast could definitely be improved. Refrigerate fruit juice. Offer toast, butter etc. Croissants looked a bit feeble.
