The window only opened a couple of inches which meant you had no air flow (no AC) so the room was very hot.

The owner was very friendly and accommodated us checking in early which was appreciated.

Lovely property with real character. Nice rooms, comfortable and cosy. Really nice sitting rooms and dining rooms where you can bring your own food. Plus a lovely cafe just across the road. The best is how lovely and friendly the owners are. Lisa and David were so accommodating despite a last minute change in our part. I hope to go back again.

nothing ( it is by a dual carriageway but the glazing cuts out the noise and the road gives access to the area so is convenient

great for a one night stay and would be great for walkers on a longer stay... a 100 yds and you in country side , a shop, pub ,river etc

Every need was catered for so nothing to suggest.

Portland House is a unique Grade 2 listed property with many original features. The owner made us extremely welcome and the visit was excellent from start to finish. As well as very well proportioned and decorated rooms, the garden is lovely and ideal for a dog to investigate. The location is perfect for exploring the Wye Valley and has off road parking. The deli and village store next door was an added bonus. Definitely well worth the money.

Toilet was noisy so don’t didnt flush at night as could hear other rooms flushing.

The old house with the features still in place. Lovely gardens too

The shower cubicle in our room was a bit small for a big chap like me. My wife was fine.

Great location. Comfortable room. Lisa was incredibly welcoming - and tea and cake in the garden on arrival was fab. Although they don’t offer breakfast there was a fabulous place about 50 yards away

Host was very welcoming and helpful. The room was great as were welcoming touches - lemon drizzle cake, (Yorkshire) tea, biscuits in room. Use of the fridge also very convenient. The location is excellent. Symonds Yat and the Wye close by - great if you're an angler during river season!! Breakfast from Woodies (Whitchurch) is fantastic. Close to lots of outdoor activity :)

I chose the room with a bigger bed by mistake and it was two beds pushed together. This wouldn't have been a problem usually but one of the beds dipped so there was a slope making it a bit uncomfortable. The door to the lounge was also very low and my boyfriend who is 6 ft 1 hit his head twice. The first time he had a cap on so I wasn't as bad, but the second time he wasn't wearing one and he forgot that the door was low and hit his head really hard, leaving a gash. A "mind your head" sign, or some padding wouldn't go amiss. This didn't change the fact that it is a very nice hotel with great facilities, and despite the above we had a nice pleasant stay.

We were in the area for a family event and it was the perfect location. The cafe/shop down the lane offered takeaway food both in the morning and in the evenings and was good for any additional amenities. There was a fridge in the lounge which was really handy and we were provided with milk in a small glass bottle and a case to keep it cool in the room, which I thought was a good idea. The biscuits in the room were lovely as well. We also liked the information about the history of the house. Overall we had a nice stay.

The water pressure was a bit low but I really appreciated how open they were about it when checking in, it’s a beautiful old house so wouldn’t expect it to be perfect.

In a nice quiet location, very close to Symonds Yat. The house is stunning and we instantly felt at home. We were greeted by Lisa, who was very friendly and friendly. Loved the little touches, tea and cake on arrival, home made biscuits in the room. It was lovely.

The toilet had some kind of pump which made a noise when flushing. But It wasn’t a problem.

Lovely facilities and made to feel very welcome by Lisa. The bed was super comfy.

Lovely place with a warm welcome. We had our dog and were pleasantly surprised at the thought that went into him too, including treats, poo bags, towels and an area to wash him off if needed. Lovely hosts, great communication. We'll be back if we need to stay in the area again.

Lisa was so welcoming. We really appreciated the little touches like a tea tray with fresh cakes brought up to the room, and the prosecco as it was my partner's birthday.

Could not fault our stay.

Everything to like, nothing to dislike. Lisa was a fantastic host. Quick to reply to messages before our stay. Was there to greet us on arrival and show us all the facilities. We were given delicious homemade muffins. Friendly and accommodating. Provided us with iron and ironing board.. Beautiful property with thoughtful touches to enjoy your stay. Would definitely book there again.

There is no breakfast offered but luckily there is a nice cafe next door that opens at 9am. Check it is open . It may closed on a Monday. There is also a nice, dog friendly pub along the road for an evening meal. It did mean a walk in the dark over a bridge. It wasn't too far. Road noise outside but not inside. The room was well soundproofed.

Very pleasant and helpful hosts. Everything was very clean. Big house with comfortable bedrooms. You also get use of a few other rooms plus the garden.

Despite the hotel being very close to the busy road, you could not hear any road noise at all. The beds were fantastically comfortable. The welcome touches were lovely and we will definitely be back to stay again. Although no breakfast was provided, the small cafe across the road was fantastic and we would highly recommend a visit!

The plumbing system was noisy. The toilet made a loud noise when flushed as did the water for the basin and shower when it was running making us feel a little conscious of disturbing others whenever these were used.

Lisa was very welcoming and helpful. Very nice tea and homemade cake on arrival. There was a well stocked tea/coffee tray in the room with fresh milk in the fridge in the guests' lounge and delicious home made cookies in a jar on the tray. We had all we needed for our stay and everywhere was spotless. The dog was also made very welcome with lots of little extras to help with her. The location was excellent for visiting the many National Trust and Cadw sites we wished to visit.

Nothing bad to report - all good

A warm welcome from Lisa who gave us tea and cake on our arrival Saturday evening. We loved the period surroundings which were clean and comfortable. The lounge, dining room and garden were all at our disposal so we didn't need to stay confined to our room. We and our dog were made to feel very much at home, as if we were staying with family.
