The Porterhouse

The bedrooms are very comfortable. The bed very nice. A shelf in the bathroom would be useful. I would prefer different towels as I expressed while I was there. The breakfast room is charming and very nice to use. We also had a nice cooked breakfast. The cooking was very good first night not so good subsequent nights. Because I can't eat certain things my choice is limited. An expanded menu of tried and tested dishes might be better instead of daily specials that are not thought through. The staff were lovely and very accommodating.

Great stay, friendly service and comfy bed. Food and drink in restaurant was good and free continental breakfast in shared kitchen was really nice - thank you

The staff were more than welcoming and i would not hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent value.

Great little place to stay, with a shared kitchen including a double doored balcony. Very reasonable price per night too. The breakfast is "self service continental", using the food that is in the kitchen. There is no Aircon, and it was the hottest day of the year so far. There are 3 rooms in total. I was in the front one near to the road. There was quite a lot of road noise when I arrived, especially with the windows open, but it was not anywhere as noisy as I was expecting at night. The pub downstairs is a gastro pub, with a decent if slightly eccentric (imho) menu, and a decent selection of drinks.

Lovely stay

The whole checkin experience was excellent from the owners of this great pub/restaurant/guesthouse despite them not having a clue that i was staying due to Expedia not informing them of my arrival. However they worked around this, and made me feel welcome and even upgraded me to a suite, I did have to pay direct, but assured a refund if the Expedia payment is also taken

Great hotel above the pub. Food is excellent. Rooms are comfortable. Breakfast is self service continental in a comunal kitchen. Staff are really helpful.

Would stay again - good value and a delightful set up with your room and bathroom and seperate kitchen facilites - very well thought through

Rather noisy road

It was above a pub but no noise and very clean roonm, nice kitchen

Upon an early arrive I was politely greeted at the bar, and told that they would check to see if my room was ready, which it was. I was booked in for one night, on a friday, in mid July +28°C. I had the front room by the main road and had to keep the windows open and the two supplied fans switch on all night, which others may find noisy but I slept pretty well. The place was very clean but a bit cramped for a twin room with an en-suite shower room with very good water pressure. I ate in the restaurant and the food was very good. The beer garden is very stylish and a huge suntrap, Shades are provided.

I picked the Porterhouse due to its location for work the next day. Check in was fine and to have a little kitchen on hand was a lovely touch and help yourself to what you might like if you wanted to use it (I only used the kettle to make a drink) The wifi was not working at all during my stay which was really annoying as I needed it for work and the french doors in the kitchen kept blowing open and the heating would not come on so it was cold. It is right on the side of the road by traffic lights so for me personally the road noise was too much and the lack of internet and being cold meant I didn't enjoy my stay there as much as I could have. The place is clean, the kitchen great and there is pub food which I didn't try, and if you are used to road noise it could be great for others, just not right for me I'm afraid.

All the staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Chloe L, and Rosie in the Tee Pee restaurant. We found the room spotless and comfortable, and enjoyed the continental breakfast set-up.

Great studio room well equipped with more than enough for breakfast

A nice pub/restaurant with on site parking. Helpful staff once we got checked in. The room was clean and well kitted out. I loved the self prepare breakfast arrangement. There was a kitchen with m/wave, toaster kettle, fridge etcetera. Just the job for a breakfast where I could choose when and where I wanted my breakfast. A tiny bit disappointed that my call regarding room availability time was not returned but a small blip in a great stay.

Great food and very comfy bed Parking could get bit busy at times

I have stayed at the Portahouse a few times and I am glad I do, very nice place and the staff are friendly and very close to where I work when in the area.

Wow what a lovely place to stay, I was a little concerned when I first arrived to check in as the bar area had a few rowdy patrons, however they left relatively early and there was no noise following this. The room was nice, well decorated and comfy bed, would have liked thicker pillows, however this did not affect my sleep. The Kitchen was always stocked with nice breakfast essentials and allowed an away time from the bedroom. Overall a very nice place to stay.

Everything was excellent apart from the fact there was no heating on at all and in the night it went below zero. I mentioned this to the staff and they said they would change it. I could not watch TV or sit for breakfast it was too cold and miserable.
