We are really uniquely placed in the Wye Valley just within Herefordshire and near to the borders of Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire

Portland House stands proudly at the centre of Whitchurch, conveniently between Ross on Wye to the North and Monmouth to the South; surrounded by wonderful scenery and history to explore in an area of outstanding natural beauty; and adjacent to the famous Symonds Yat Rock on the outskirts of the Forest of Dean. The house has a wealth of character and charm as well as fascinating history; the oldest part of the house is Georgian - not overly large but spacious enough for guests to feel relaxed and comfortable, and especially cosy during the autumn and winter months. You can relax in the interesting garden or very attractive lounge and enjoy the elegant dining room and our wonderful 3 course breakfasts with genuinely home made offerings, like AGA baked muesli, bread and preserves. Dinner can be pre-booked.

The Guest House has been graded as 4 stars by the AA and has been awarded a Green Business Award and Wildlife Action Award. And graded 5 stars for food hygiene management.

For wheelchair users and people with limited mobility, The 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.

The Lloyd Suite also has a small conservatory leading from the bedroom and overlooks the garden. A special place to relax. The large ensuite bathroom is equipped with toilet for the disabled, shower area and wall seat as well as a spacious bath.

The Ross Family Suite on the second floor has two adjoining bedrooms to accommodate a family of 5-6, sharing an ensuite and looks onto the Doward. The suite is equipped with TV and DVD as well as traditional past times such as chess and family games as well as a doll’s house.

For the romantics amongst you, The Monmouth Suite, has recently been refurbished and has its own 4 poster bed built on site with a Victorian bathroom complete with a black chandelier..

Besides this we have other spacious bedrooms like the Magnolia Room (double), overlooking our Magnolia Tree, The Doward Room, (Twin) overlooking the Doward alongside Symonds Yat, and the Marstow Room, (double) overlooking farmland at the rear.

Portland House is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty so there are plenty of glorious countryside to enjoy however our garden is also available to our guests for a relaxing few moments during your stay.

A warm welcome awaits from John and Jenny Jarvis.
