Please note, we offer the Basement King at this reduced rate as the room is located underneath the kitchen, being an old building - we have some creaky floorboards and this room can be noisy as we prepare for breakfast in the mornings. The NCP Car Parks which are located opposite The Portland Guest House are NOT included in the parking permit, and there is a possibility of being fined if guests use it to unload and check in without paying for parking.
