Stay at Portland Guesthouse

Lovely place to stay in Cheltenham. The room was full of character and very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and accommodating and it included a good breakfast. I would recommend this hotel. We stayed in a superior room. Shower was nice and hot. Parking reasonable in nearby bay.

It was great and fantastic value. Only comment is that my room (7) was cold, but maybe I should have checked the radiator settings! I'll definitely stay again.
