Portland House

I visited with my daughter, as she was kayaking at Symonds Yat. Lisa (the owner) was lovely - very friendly and accommodating. Communication was great, and the property was in a perfect location, next to a village shop. Room was very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and would be very happy to come back.

Nothing 😊

Staff exceptional Lisa literally couldn't do anymore for you. Fantastic location.

Absolutely zero complaints.

My colleague and I were looking for somewhere quiet and convenient, and Portland House was brilliant. Our host, Lisa, was really transparent that it was very near the A40, but with the double glazing, I didn't hear a thing, and I am usually sensitive to noise. I really appreciated her integrity, and I can honestly say it was not the slightest problem The house is full of quirky charm, and small thoughtful touches. It was very comfortable, with a lovely garden out the back, and an unexpectedly charming small store/cafe less than five minutes walk away where we could get a take away meal and a great breakfast the next morning. We agreed that we would definitely come again - it really felt like a home away from home and we were made to feel incredibly welcome. (The cup of tea and slice of apple cake when we arrived was top notch too!)

Beautiful building definitely had the wow factor. We stayed in the Monmouth room and it was stunning. Homemade biscuits was a welcome touch

Having to leave it

The house is very nice and warm in winter, which is always a good thing in the colder months. It's also very quiet and peaceful despite being close to a main road you can't hear a thing. Michael and Lisa are very welcoming and friendly. Coffee, tea, and hot drinks are available in the room.

Excellent place to stay. Clean tidy, and host was briliant

N/a

The accommodation was beautifully presented and immaculately clean. They provided everything we needed including delicious biscuits with a large range of hot drinks. We arrived in a storm and there was a power cut. Liz and Michael had filled the entrance hall with candles which looked beautiful and there was emergency lighting as well as torches provided. It did not affect our stay in any way. Liz very kindly let us know about the power cut before we arrived giving us the option to stay elsewhere but we were so happy we stayed. There was a wonderful cafe just across the road serving the most delicious breakfasts which was a bonus. Communication from Liz was very good.

I literally can't think of anything that could be improved.

Lovely location and highly proactive in contacting us before our stay to confirm details.
