Portland House is uniquely placed in the Wye Valley on the borders of Monmouthshire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire.

The River Wye is just five minutes away on foot. Wonderful walks direct from our door. Ross on Wye is 10 minutes in the car.  The house is Grade 2 listed and has a wealth of character and charm plus a fascinating history; the oldest part of the house is Georgian (1676) - not overly large but very spacious for guests to feel relaxed and comfortable, and especially cosy during the autumn and winter months. In the spring/ summer you can relax in the interesting award winning garden or during autumn/winter in our very attractive lounge with a log fire; as well as enjoy the elegant dining room and our wonderful 3 course breakfasts including yummy home made muesli and fruit compotes, breads and up to nine different preserves to feast upon.

For the romantics amongst you, the majestic Monmouth Suite, with its own entrance hallway, has a unique 4 poster bed with a luxury mattress topper as well as a really comfy leather chesterfield sofa to snuggle into while watching TV/DVD or just relaxing with a book or the magazines on offer. To complete your comfort factor the Victorian bathroom is complete with large roll top bath to lie in and gaze up at the black chandelier. For wheelchair users and people with limited mobility, The luscious Lloyd Suite, just off the ground floor hallway, was completely refurbished in 2005 to an extremely high standard and has been awarded a M2 level rating for accessibility for the disabled by the English Tourism Council.
