Although most of the breakfast was delicious, the sour dough bread was disappointing quality.

Stayed one night here for work. The parking instructions seemed complicated, but in reality the parking was fine and within an easy 3 minute walk from the property. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room itself was gorgeous, lots of antique furniture and unique touches, very clean and with a luxury feel. The bathroom had a fab shower, and the bed, though a little soft for my liking, provided a good night's sleep. The location was ideal, allowing me to walk into town for an evening work social. The area was nice and I felt safe returning to the hotel alone even at 10:30 p.m. Lovely hotel and I would stay again.

Breakfast was ok, location was perfect, the staff were welcoming and pleasant.
unfortunately we were in room 3 which is below the kitchen which meant we were awake from 6.3.am. When this was mentioned to the guest house, I was told this was why we had a discounted room, this was not pointed out to me at the time of booking otherwise I would have not chosen it.

Great value for money. Great convenient location.
Really welcoming host.
Great cooked breakfast to order which set us up nicely for a busy long day.
Really impressed with this last minute booking
Nothing to fault with the room or hotel.
A note though that it's near the centre and was a bit noisy with an alarm that kept me awake some of the night.

Delicious breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff member who looked after us throughout our stay. The room was very comfortable. The option of getting a parking permit was very helpful. We found plenty of parking in Clarence Square round the corner. The guesthouse was good at communicating and replying to messages swiftly. It was well located close to the town centre and to Pittville.
It was all good!

The location was excellent, a five minute stroll into town. Car park right across the road. The room was very cosy with a comfy bed and pillows. Decor was very classy. Great bathroom, massive bath towels, shower was excellent and the toiletries smelled divine. It was all very well kept and clean. Dining room was nicely decorated for Christmas with a lovely tree and fireplace decked out with decorations.
I would stay again. The hosts were very welcoming, and I love what they are doing.
I think breakfast could have been hotter. The locally sourced sausages were not to my taste, and the bacon a little dry. There was not a choice of white or brown toast, it just came with brown.
I did enjoy it though, and there was a good choice of menu.

Everything was great about the place. Location, breakfast, cleanliness, staff were very friendly. I used the NCP car park opposite rather than on street parking so cannot comment on the parking zone.
Would prefer a firmer mattress, but that is just a preference, the mattress did not affect our sleep. Not sure there is anything more they could do to make our stay better, to be honest, as it was all good.

Try to persuade the council to let residents park overnight in the opposite car park using the supplied residents permit !?

Staff helpful and friendly, rooms clean and comfortable. Breakfast was full English and filling. Close proximity to town for restaurants and bars and for culture, shopping and meandering during the day. Excellent choice of place to stay. Absolute bargain. Parking via permit in the area but available from the hotel.
No issues with anything, all positive

Nos sentimos em casa na Portland. Cama confortável, banheiro moderno, localização excelente. O destaque especial dessa acomodação vai para o staff, extremamente solícito e atencioso (em especial, a Poppi!)
O único problema é que se ficar no andar de baixo logo cedinho vai escutar as pessoas que circulam no café da manhã. Como acordávamos cedo, não nos incomodamos com isso.

It was super hot on the day we checked in, but we were able to get a fan from the staff that help us get through the night. The carpet is stained.

Location was good for town centre and parking arrangements worked well. The removal of duvet and replacement sheet and blanket was welcome in warmer weather.
Slightly disappointed that my poached egg for breakfast was more hard boiled than poached. Poaching eggs, keeping the yoke runny, is a skill - yet to be mastered in the Portland kitchen.

The staff, well the person who showed us in and cooked breakfast, etc, the next day was extremely welcoming, smiley, and happy to help. Pleasant surprise (I probably didn't look properly), but the parking and breakfast was included in the price!
Very clean room/bathroom!
The location was fantastic! It was right near the centre where we wanted to be! Price was very good for location.
The breakfast was tasty (full English option).
Metal framed bed l'm juat not keen- They creak when moving in sleep, but very minor- excellent place!

Lovely house, restored sympathetically, nice rooms, good brekky, Very near shopping and restaurants . If driving there, contact them first about parking permit Don't be put off by the fact it's directly opposite a car park.
Needs a more prominent sign, and needs a door number on show, took a while to figure out which building it was

The Portland Guest house is perfectly located. Less than 10mins walk to the shops, bars and restaurants and a few minutes drive to Cheltenham Race Course. We had pre paid a parking permit through the hosts prior to our arrival but there is ample parking in an NCP just across the road if needed. The guesthouse is clean and tidy and the room we had just right. Found the Bed a little on the soft side but wouldn’t mark the Portland down because of that. Tea/Coffee making facilities in the room with a jug of fresh water on arrival was a nice touch. Awoke to the smell of the Full Breakfast being cooked downstairs, that certainly gave us an appetite. It didn’t disappoint, my only criticism was it didn’t have Black Pudding on the menu🤨😂
All in all what a lovely place to stay, very comfortable with friendly staff we couldn’t ask for more. Would highly recommend and yes we will definitely return.More
