Fodor's Expert Review Fortitude Cottage
51 Broad St., Portsmouth, Portsmouth, PO1 2JD, England
With sleek modern bedrooms, this friendly B&B provides top-class waterside accommodation in two buildings in the center of Old Portsmouth, within walking distance of the Historic Dockyard via the Millennium Promenade just across the street. The best option here is the penthouse room—costing slightly more—but worth it for the 360-degree view of the harbor and Isle of Wight beyond (binoculars are provided) from its own rooftop terrace.
PROS
- central but quiet location
- helpful, friendly owners
- great view from penthouse suite
CONS
- a good amount of stairs
- not all rooms have great views
- some rooms on small side
