Arrival late Sunday evening for a funeral the next day. Friendly and informative welcome. Spotlessly clean. Two blokes, one probably looking fresh out of a "boot camp", the other looking like he ran it. We felt like part of the family when we left on the Tuesday morning. Sharing Jenny and John's home very special and warm. Smokers but a... More

The house is cosy and welcoming and we enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the Magnolia Room which was comfortable and tastefully decorated, The bathroom was a bit noisy but nothing we couldn't look beyond. Jenny and John were great hosts and were very sweet to get the room ready early as I had nowhere to go whilst my husband... More

We stayed at Portland House for one night in the Monmouth Suite which has a very comfortable four poster bed. The facilities in the room and on suite bathroom were excellent and very clean. John and Jenny were very welcoming and were very helpful when we asked about local activities and walks. Breakfast was delicious and there was a great... More

We stayed at Portland House in September in the Marstow Room - very comfortable - lovely bed. Spotlessly clean throughout. Really enjoyed our stay and were made very welcome by John, Jenny, Jo and Jess! We have a special thankyou to Jess for making our stay especially enjoyable being dog lovers. We really looked forward to our breakfast times -... More

Very welcoming and friendly staff (and cute dog!). We stayed in the Magnolia Room which was an adequately sized room and fine for us as a couple-though we were only staying one night. Very comfy bed. Good service trays in room for a B&B. Lovely breakfast-homemade porridge was yummy, and the eggs Benedict was the best I've ever had! Great... More

I stayed here in the Ross Suite (family suite) last year with my husband and children and enjoyed it so much that I came back for a short break with my Mum. This time I stayed in the Marstow Room, a gorgeous and cosy room, very bright and cheerful, lots of lovely touches that individualise the room, a good en-suite... More

The welcome is genuine, it is spotlessly clean, the beds are the most comfortable we have come across and the breakfasts are fabulous (especially recommended is the scrambled eggs with herby French toast and any of Jenny's home made jams or preserves). John, Jenny and bubbly Jo, who comes in daily, are obviously interested in people and are helpful with... More

Six of us 'Tants Tours' spent two nights with John and Jenny, going to a wedding in the vicinity. Our stay was the icing on the cake, we had lovely rooms, excellent breakfasts, but best of all was the banter with the 4 J's - Jenny, John, Jo and (not forgetting) Parsons Jack Russell, Jess ! If they'll let us... More

We chose it because it is half way between Sheffield, where we live, and Devon our holiday destination, and it was dog-friendly. We got the "dog" room with an exit to the garden, which was fine, except the stone floored bathroom was freezing and we ended up not using it for showers. But apart from being the dog room, it... More
