My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights during our visit to Portsmouth. The location was perfect with beautiful views of the water and Spinnaker Tower. There were some nice pubs nearby, and the walk to Gunwharf Quays took about 10 minutes. We booked the penthouse room, which included access to the rooftop deck with really nice views of... More

We spent two nights here in room #1. the room itself over-looked the harbour. It was directly above the breakfast room. The amenities tray was very well stocked. The bed was really comfortable. Although the television was a bit small we only watched it when we got in at night. The breakfasts were amazing and you were offered all manner... More

The position is wonderful. Near the water, great pub up the road, easy walk to shopping centre and Dockyard. Lovely owners who are very helpful and a wonderful breakfast in a room overlooking the water and ferries. Only downside would be a bit of stuffiness in the rooms. More

We booked for an apartment with Maggie & Mike in November. The apartment is beautiful and kept spotlessly clean. Mike was such a fantastic host, giving us pointers and recommending restaurants, etc. On the day we checked out, Mike helped keeping our luggage, so it would be easier for us to do some last minute sight-seeing and shopping. He delivered... More

I stayed at the Fortitude cottage on the 12th of November as i was attending a reunion. The landlady was very accomodating and had parking facilities sorted for me prior to my arrival which was a big plus as parking in Old Portsmouth is at a premium. The room that i stayed in was on the ground floor, it was... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here. There was a miscommunication on my part, yet Mike and Maggie were VERY accommodating. If you are lucky enough to get the top suite, the view from the roof is awesome. It's about a 30 minute walk to the historic section, but well worth it. There are great restaurants near the BB.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in November 2011. Maggie & Mike are ideal hosts and Fortitude Cottage is spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The cooked breakfast was excellent. We stayed in the Penthouse room which has its own balcony and a spiral staircase to a private roof terrace with magnificent views of the harbour and Spinnacre Tower. The room... More

Stayed at this B&B 26-28 October 2011. Mike and Maggie are extremely friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The B&B was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The view of the Spinnaker tower at night was spectacular from our bedroom window, we could not have chosen a better location. Only about 15-20 stroll to Gunwharf Quays and Spinnaker... More
