Great place to stay if you need to be close but not too close to the town centre. The room was very spacious and had a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean and had a great shower, hot and powerful. We asked for alternative milk which was supplied in the breakfast room. If you want to be close to the centre (5 mins walk) then i would recommend the Portland Guest House

The breakfast menu was fresh and there were enough choices for someone to eat. We were in one of the basement rooms and found it dark. Work was being done on the outside of the building, so lots of scaffolding which blocked a lot of the light. The bed we had was not very comfortable but we did like how quiet it was.

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.

Highly over priced for what you get… it’s a 2 not 1, because its location is okay and the staff is friendly. If you are overweight, don’t bother; rooms are too small! The mattress is probably the most squeaky I’ve ever seen. Squeaks with every single move. No proper chair in the room. Breakfast quality is worse than that at a hostel: Bread from grocery shelves - not freshly baked, only bananas - no other fruit, only Nescafe!!!, no cheese or even yoghurt! A few cereal types, peanut butter, cream chocolate and tea…

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.
