Portland House was converted from a private dwelling to a guest house
in the 1970s. The House has its own history and was part of a much
larger establishment having been the local hospital and doctor's quarters.
In the early nineteenth century it was also called the Whitchurch Lunatic Asylum.
So you don't have to be mad to stay there but it helps!

At the end of the 19th century it became a young gentleman’s academy before
being sold as a private dwelling .
