Number One Port Hill

The feel

The beautiful residence of Number One Bed & Breakfast, built around 1770 and acknowledged in Nikolaus Pevsner’s Buildings of Hertfordshire, features an eclectic elegant mix of original grandeur and modern touches and offers truly first class accommodation in Hertford. From the moment you walk through the wrought-iron gate and through the award-winning garden, you know that you have arrived at somewhere really special.

Shimmering chandeliers, corniced ceilings, huge mirrors and sculptures combined with modern art, roaring fires and vintage glassware, all make for a visually spectacular experience. Off the main hall is the Dining Room – a treasure trove of glass and a stunning table setting.

The gorgeous Georgian mahogany staircase leads you past the luxurious Drawing Room and upwards to the bedrooms. The Drawing Room is the perfect place to read the papers or a book or to just sit by the magnificent fireplace and relax.

The obvious attention to detail in these surroundings is equally evident in the warm welcome you receive. We pride ourselves in going that extra mile just for you. We understand that our approach and our attitude is key to giving an individual and personalised service ensuring that your stay is unforgettable.
