We stayed for 2 nights. Excellent room ( 5 ). Everything was as described. Mike and Maggie made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was fantastic. Would really recommend you stay there when visiting Portsmouth. Will definately be booking again when we are in the area. More

"Attention to detail " best sums up Mike and Maggies' approach to their Business. From the minute we booked online, everything happened efficiently, yet in a relaxed and unobtrusive way. Our Room (Room 5) was as described; stylsh comfortable and well equipped with a superb en-suite "wet room".The Dining Room has stunning views across the Harbour to the Spinnaker Tower... More

We decided to have a day in the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth and to make a proper trip of it by spending a night nearby. Fortitude Cottage is quietly positioned in Old Portsmouth and you can see the Spinnaker and Dockyard easily from it; however, the walk to the gates is about 20 mins or so at a leisurely pace... More

We knocked on the door whilst on a research trip to the area to enquire about the possibility of spending the first night of our married lives here, but the 'gentleman' who answered abruptly said he wasn't interested in our custom - somewhat odd given the comments on their website about being an ideal place for honeymooners and other comments...

We stayed with Maggie and Mike for a friends wedding for 2 nights and I knew we had made a great decision from the moment we arrived. Mike sorted us out a permit to park free right outside in what was a quiet street and we also had the option of a more formal car park over the road, again... More

We stayed at Fortitude Cottage on our wedding night. The room was fantastic with great views over camber docks and the breakfast was perfect. We would highly recommend staying here and we thank Mike & Maggie for making our wedding day even more perfect. You were both very welcoming and great hosts! More

Our stay at Fortitude Cottage was very pleasant. The owners were very hospitable and helpful with any questions we may have had. We stayed in the twin room which is on the small side but it was very clean and comfortable. We had a great stay! More

It's impossible to say enough nice things about this place. Breakfast was brilliant and plentiful, the breakfast room itself light and warm. It's in the perfect place to see all of Portsmouth, close to all the museums, churches, Spinnaker Tower, and walks along the coast. Within walking distance also is the newly revamped Gunwharf Quays shopping centre, with just about... More

We stayed here for two nights while visiting our son who is at Portsmouth Uni. We booked the Penthouse, which was a lovely room with a wonderful soft comfortable bed. Although the weather was rather foggy, we did go up onto the roof terrace to enjoy the view. Maggie and Mike were wonderful hosts and were very helpful - ie... More

Fortitude cottage is a lovely old townhouse in a fabulous location. The room we were given had views across to Gun Wharf and the Spinnaker tower. There are lots of good pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance and the Isle of Wight ferry is right on the doorstep. The room was very clean and well maintained and the bed... More
