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.

A lovely building close to the city centre. The parking is close at a cost of £5 which is reasonable. The host is lovely. I had a decent sleep and the amenities were plentiful

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.
