    I absolutely loved how welcoming and cozy Portland House felt. The beautifully decorated common areas were a delight, and the thoughtful touches made it accessible and comfortable for seniors like myself, enhancing our overall experience.

    Parking can be challenging, especially for seniors.

    delicious breakfast
    friendly hosts
    tight parking

    We had a blast hiking around and even visited Theatre by the Lake, which was a short walk away. The breakfast was fab, made fresh each morning, and our hosts were super welcoming. Loved the little touches like cold drinks and snacks available.

    On-street parking was quite tricky. We tried to avoid using the car to keep our spot during our stay. The host mentioned a local convention made it a bit worse than usual.

    welcoming hosts but parking was tricky

    The hosts were genuinely accommodating, making me feel at home throughout my stay. Breakfast had a great variety. I enjoyed both the fresh fruit salad and the full English every morning.

    Parking was a bit challenging during peak times.
