The Rosie room is our favorite accommodation in Portland. Sally and Jake are very much like family in that they have a kind of ease and welcome that makes us feel as if we have known them for years.
The house has an eclectic charm about it, little visual surprises everywhere, as soon as you enter the front garden you have a sense of being transported to someplace special. A huge fragrant Daphne perfumes the pathway under a canopy of trees, the path leads down to the entry or on along a perimeter of bamboo to
a lush garden with paths wandering along a hillside and circling back to the house. It is so relaxing to ramble or just hang out for a while and read in the seclusion offered.
The rooms are comfortable and the kitchen fully appointed whether for morning coffee or a full on dinner. There is a great market close by and all the usual cafes etc.
I love waking up in the morning and looking out the window from the bed at the garden's invitation to start the day with a big dose of nature. I think anyone visiting Portland and wanting a different kind of stay would love this close in out of the way place.
I would recommend the Rosie Room without hesitation
