“The Portland Guesthouse presents a smart, understated base in Cheltenham, its rooms proving consistently quiet and clean with comfortable beds at their core. Service is notably kind, even when navigation is a little complex, and the breakfast, though sometimes basic, is a welcome start to the day. It's a competitively priced option, particularly given its central position and the ease of nearby parking.”
