We had a fantastic weekend here in November 2012. We are a family of five with three small children (aged 6, 4 and 2) and so the Ross Suite on the top floor of the house was ideal. We basically had the run of the whole of the top floor - two large bedrooms separated by a thick curtain, and... More

What a lovely review, many thanks. So glad you enjoyed being here - we enjoyed the weekend too. The children were comical, great entertainment - no trouble at all. The other guests were very happy too. Just had another super review on our website from one of them. Everyone happy - just the job! More

Very much in need of a break and relaxation we thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at Portland Guest House. A lovely period house sympathetically restored we found Jenny & John to be friendly and accommodating, always ensuring that we saw the best of the surrounding area which is outstandingly beautiful. Breakfasts were a culinary experience of locally sourced produce... More

A weekend away with my partner and I wanted to show her Symonds Yat, a most beautiful area. Portland House, which is in Whitchurch near Ross on Wye, is an old, elegant house upgraded for modern living but not spoilt. Jenny and John are friendly and easy to like and the whole weekend felt like we were staying with friends.... More

We (couple with 2 young kids) had stayed in Ross suite. Superb size with separate room for kids. Rooms come with fantastic views of scenic Ross-On-Wye. The kids were particularly impressed by the toys available. The full english breakfast was first class and definitely one of the very best we had ever came across among our travels. Overall would definitely... More

We could not have been made more welcome and the service was very good. Loved the breakfast; lots of choice and lovely home-made jams. Comfortable and charming room (Monmouth) and great bed made for a good night's sleep. The only problem: WiFi not on offer and the Orange/T-Mobile signal very poor. Happy to recommend this B&B for a great holiday... More

Thank you so much for this very kind review. We were delighted to have you stay. WiFi was such a problem wasn't it, very frustrating for all of us for 4 days due to Orange having 2 masts damaged because of the dreadful over-night weather. Pleased to say that Wifi is back however Orange has some way to go with... More

All of the reviews highlight the quality of the breakfast and quite rightly too. You feel you want to stay several nights just to try the different options. Homemade jam and bread are additional touches. It was especially nice to eat around a big table. We had a good time to chat to the other guests who were all equally... More

We could only stay for 3 nights and wish it could have been longer.We had a very well equiped room which was very comfortable,the breakfast was among the best we've ever had at a B&B. John,Jenny & Jo were so welcomiing that we felt like friends rather than customers. We would certainly stay there again,
