Plussat: Wonderful property close to local vineyards. Very helpful staff going out of their way to help. Room turndown included was a nice surprise. The hotel grounds are great for strolling around.

Plussat: The spa bath being two person.

Plussat: Lovely clean unit with all of the facilities needed - and more! The whole property is attractively presented and the owners were absolutely lovely to deal with. Our unit was on the ground floor (another level above above us) but we did not hear any noise from any other guests - which was great as this meant we had an undisturbed and restful sleep after a long drive.

Miinukset: Just a little quibble - we found the Venetian blinds needed to be dusted and the shelf above the microwave oven was also quite dusty. However this did not detract from our experience in any way.

Plussat: In the morning we received a letter under the door providing information about the weather that day and a page from a newspaper from 1930.

Plussat: Location, cleanliness, warm and comfortable stay. Beds and linen were so good to sleep in!

Miinukset: Wifi connection was poor, also on booking.com site says unlimited free wifi however we were limited to 5gb on the voucher. Luckily we were out a lot so didn’t matter too much

Plussat: Loved the fact that we were in unit 1 and away from all the hustle and bustle of the rest of the units,

Miinukset: The heat pump was not working when we arrived and we were frozen. The issue turned out to be because the previous people had changed something on the control, When we first reported this though the man seems less than pleased that we were asking and when he came to look didn't obviously know how to use the remote himself so had to call in the technician who just changed something back on the remote. The man did warm up to us a little when he actually came to our unit and he did provide us with a portable heater while we were waiting for a fix. Also I did notice in the bathroom that the floor was dusty,

Plussat: Close to town.

Miinukset: To access the bathroom you had to go through the bedroom.

Plussat: Very clean and tidy. Comfortable bed. Will definitely stay again in future

Plussat: Clean, well equipped, friendly staff and great location (really handy for Hastings).

Plussat: Portmans is centrally located. We received a warm welcome on arrival and shown the facilities - the heat pump was put on for us so when we got back from our party the place would be warm.

Plussat: Lovely, clean, modern, warm, very friendly, and comfy bed. Highly recommend.

Plussat: I walked in and blown away with the size and cleanliness of the room.

Miinukset: Nothing I found negative

Plussat: Clean and warm

Plussat: The owners were pleasant and friendly. Found they were most helpful as I needed to repair an outfit. I asked if they had some needle and thread and they happily provided this. Unit was tidy, comfortable and clean. We has the added bonus of a spa bath in our unit. Bonus was breakfast brought to our room in the morning. Handy walking distance to shops in Hastings.

Miinukset: I should have checked out the location more. Our unit was close to a busy road so the noise of the traffic was distracting at times. Certainly not the fault of the owners. We had no hot water on our 2nd day due to a leak. Would have appreciated it if we had been made aware of this at the time it happened.

Plussat: Quiet. Beautiful garden. Fantastic home made bread and yummy home made jam. A fabulous place to stay and the hosts were amazing.

Plussat: Spacious unit. Clean. Excellent Bathroom.

Miinukset: Comparing it with Similar price unit at Kennedy Park Top 10, it was just the little differences that made it not so good as their facilities. Eg no lamps or bedside tables in bedrooms. Very thin walls so noise carried from room to room and from unit next door. No SKY TV. Otherwise all very good.

Plussat: The unit bathroom and bedrooms looked like they had been upgraded.the beds were comfortable and the unit warm

Miinukset: Very disapointed that we couldn't cook safely on the stove top,the electrical cord didnt reach the plug and the microwave was too high sitting on top of the fridge. There were no microwabe safe containers provided. We had chosen a unit with cooking facilities to save money eating out.

Plussat: Fair price

Miinukset: Linen well worn, furnishings ( chair) needed recovering or replacing, stained and wobbly, towel trolley in bathroom was rusted and floor needed a vacuum.

Plussat: I love how friendly the staff are, always happy to help and no issues about making sure we had as much wifi as we needed made the stay and planning so easy, a laid back approach when meeting guest gave it a very personal touch almost part of the family but not at all lacking in cleanliness and service at the same time, if looking for a location based in the heart of shops and places to dine this is the perfect location and great for cars and camper vans weather for a break from sleeping on the road or place to base all your travel from just a perfect place to stay.....has a pool for the summer too !!!

Miinukset: The property was perfect for the sake of saying there was something I didn’t like there is no need the price matched the product perfectly so I cannot fault them in anyway a clear understanding of hospitality and their market.
