    I got married there a few years back now and I have been to a few weddings since and I would highly recommend it.... They couldn't do enough for us when we got married and we had an amazing day there.......

    Default Portland Arms

    Noticed in the job section they are currently looking to employ a new wedding planner so i guess that would depend on who they find to fill the vacancy!

    I would say that the fact that they are looking for a new wedding planner (and lots of other staff too) speaks volumes. It's a great venue but will there be any staff left by the time your wedding comes around ????

    The jobs vacancies were advertised before saturday and we had a great time regardless. I was pleased with the bar staff as we didn't have to queue at all for our drinks

    The Mackay's are advertising for staff at the moment, so I don't think that means anything.

    Portland's always had an excellent reputation, has lovely bedrooms and a nice, big ballroom.

    sorry to ask but did anybody hear of a wedding that had to be cancelled at the Portlands on Saturday night due to staff walking out or was this just a horrible rumour? im just asking as am having my wedding there in the not too distant future and beginning to panic would be gutted if i had to change it is a lovely hotel

    that is def rubbish no truth at all i know someone who works in portlands and they were working on saturday night and they had a wedding on.
    Typical horrible rumour of wick people see jobs advertised and add arms and legs onto it, dont suppose it crossed the persons mind who started this rumour that maybe portland arms are really busy and require more staff this is the busy season for hotels,maybe that is why mackays hotel advertised for staff as well.
