Experience the charm of one of Victoria's oldest heritage listed properties At Victoria House you can enjoy the friendly atmosphere of a circa 1853, fully restored Georgian private hotel of historical importance. Relax in our guest lounge with comfy armchairs, piano and complimentary Port, Sherry and fruitcake in front of the open fire, or in the relaxing sun-room with books and magazines provided. We have a lovely sunny breakfast room overlooking the garden with full freshly cooked English breakfasts available and offer free WiFi throughout the main building. We are a short stroll from the foreshore of Portland with its Marina, the Information Centre, Portland's cable tram, the Botanic gardens and a great range of cafes and restaurants. The shopping precinct is in the block behind us. In front of our grassy foreshore, the busy marina is home to pleasure craft and keen anglers chasing after the Tuna and other plentiful catches. Whales visit us in the winter, even within the harbour

Detailed Reviews
We stayed two nights at Victoria House, a very nice Victorian-era building that reminded us of British B&B's with its period decor, pretty rear garden, and waking up to the smell of cooked breakfasts wafting in the air - yummy! It is well located just on the edge of Portland's small ''CBD '' and a short walk around the corner to the beach, seafront reserve, Tourist Info office, Tram etc. Even though a big event was on (Portland Classic Car Show and Shine) we never had any trouble getting a parking spot on the street in front of the building. Parking is free and unrestricted, The hotel also has a communal lounge. A large carafe of chilled drinking water in the gust room fridges is topped up every day as well as tea & coffee. making facilities in the rooms.

Take yourself back to the times of the original guesthouse or the boarding school in this delightful establishment. Mandy is running it for a short time for her friend Mandy. Yes that's true! We had a double room with all modern conveniences perfect for our needs. It was reached via the narrow original staircase but easy enough even for a couple of oldies. We were greeted as family or friends rather than paying guests and given a tour of the heritage hotel. Easy parking directly outside the front door. We did not take advantage of the optional continental breakfast because we wanted to see what Portland offered just a short walk down the road. A highlight of our stay was meeting the other guests for complimentary sherries at 5 pm in the unique sitting room in front of an open wood fire. This room with its carefully curated objects d'art revealed something new at every visit. Then if you liked it was off to dinner somewhere and back for a glass of port and piece of fruit cake to see you off to bed. Why would you stay in a modern motel?

We recently stayed at Victoria House to celebrate a special anniversary and are so glad we did!
Mandy, the owner, made us so very welcome and always went the extra mile with her consideration of our comfort, enjoyment and meals etc.
The B&B is a lovely old building with heaps of history and is very close to the waterfront, shops and eating places - and the rooms are very comfortable, spacious and well fitted out - not to mention spotless.
Port/Sherry and fruitcake in the lounge is a lovely touch. Thanks Mandy - and John who unfortunately I didn't get to meet.

Mandy and John looked after us so well when we stayed at the historic Victoria House in Portland while walking the Great South West Walk. Delicious cooked breakfasts every morning, a pre-dinner sherry or after dinner port, plus a comfy bed during our 4 night stay - what more could you ask for. Definitely THE place to stay in Portland!

We visited Portland, staff at Information Centre was very helpful. I decided on Victoria House and stayed 4 nights A beautiful Heritage House owner Ruth her husband Douglas were helpful lovely hosts, enjoyed the Continental breakfast set in the dining room & cooked breakfast while watching the beautiful cottage garden. Mandy who serve the breakfast go out of the way and make you feel welcome to enjoy the breakfast. There was Sherry, Port and Fruit cake for A nightcap.

Lovely place to stay. We three ladies had a large room with a winding staircase to the upper level. Living room/bedroom/kitchonette downstairs along with a bathroom. Loft upstairs had two beds. Price was very reasonable. Owner is friendly and provided everything we needed. Coffee maker, small fridge, microwave, ... even cookies! We loved the sweet dachound dog. The main building is full of antiques and was lovely. Small fireplace room to relax in and a sunroom. I would definitely reccomend this place to others. We loved that the owner allowed us to split the bill amongst the three of us. We enjoyed our stay and hated to leave. Walking distance of a lovely pub The Royal for dinner.

Everything about our stay was incredible, 2 days is definitely not long enough. Where to start, our welcome from Mandy was lovely, warm and genuine. The bed and pillows were incredible, best sleep both of us have experienced on our 10 day road trip. Victoria House is full of history which you experience in every room and can read in detail in the beautiful sitting room. So many lovely touches like mints in the room, fruit cake and port in the sitting room. A wander through the garden. Also a fabulous home booked breakfast in the sunny breakfast room looking out to the garden. We will look forward to returning sometime for sure.

We stayed at Victoria House while doing the 13-day Great South West Walk. Mandy and John were perfect hosts. Their warmth and hospitality were greatly appreciated. We particularly enjoyed the long, hot baths following our walks, and the port or sherry and fruit cake by the fireplace each night. Our room was warm and cozy, and the breakfast was very filling and sustaining. We would highly recommend staying here for the eastern section of this walk.

As a group of three couples we stayed in this wonderful heritage hotel run by Mandy and John. Each room is fabulously set up with all modern conveniences each with it own heritage features and charm.
There is a lovely lounge room available for you to use (with complimentary port and fruit cake each night). Mandy offers a delicious continental and cooked Breakfast for a fee. The house backs onto a lovely garden ( with garden gnomes for the kids to find) that you can sit in and or enjoy.
You can also use the BBQ including utensils and condiments to top of a great day visiting Portland. As host Mandy can fill you in on all of the great places to visit and those not well known. The house, the hosts and the location is wonderful.

Lovely restored 1858 building. Each room as its own special uniqueness. There are two sitting rooms that have their own charm, one with a nice cosy open fire, the other a nice nook for a glass of ?? or a book to read. The breakfast room, where the delicious man sized breakfast is served,( you do have the options to just have continental though) looks out over the pretty garden. Such welcoming accommodation from hosts Mandy & John. I must add I celebrated my 70th birthday there & Mandy went out of her way to organize a friends surprise into our room for me. Sooo nice. On top of all this they have a very cute friendly resident puppy & kitty cat. Our plan is to return one day when we are in the area.
