Fortitude Cottage was the first B & B we visited and it certainly was excellent. Maggie & Mike made us feel welcome from the moment they answered the door upon our arrival. The breakfasts were delicious with lots of choices. Our room was bright and clean and had a lovely view of the harbour. The location is perfect for visiting... More

This was my second visit to Fortitude Cottage and as my daughter came with me, it was a great experience for her. We had a lovely twin room with added touches like a hairdryer which girls cannot survive without. The breakfast is great with a wide choose of options and I would recommend to anyone planning to stay in Portsmouth.... More

I could not fault my stay at Fortitude Cottage. Everything was great. The room was fresh and clean with quality fixtures and bed linen. The bathroom was large with a powerful shower. The complimentary bottled water was also a nice touch. The breakfast was to die for. It was possibly the best B&B breakfast I've ever had, and trumps all... More

Mike and Maggie are the friendliest people you could meet, made to feel very welcome. We arrived early and were given a parking permit for the carpark few feet in front of... More

This is our 3rd stay at the Fortitude, and Mike and Maggie our hosts, welcomed us as always with a warm smile as if we never have been away. The rooms are always done to the highest standard in which I can never fault. Breakfast, especially the scrambled eggs is something not to be missed, and we usually do not... More

What a fantastic find! Having stayed in Portsmouth twice previously we wish we had found Fortitude cottage earlier. In comparison to other accommodation this is in a league of its own. Maggie and Mike were wonderful hosts and welcomed us like friends. Nothing was too much trouble and little extras like free parking across the road meant that we could... More

My partner and I stayed at Fortitude Cottage for one night in late May, when visiting Portsmouth for a short break. We could not fault the b&b in any way. Firstly, it's in a perfect position, being just a short walk from the Dockyard and Gunwharf Quays shopping area, but also within easy reach of several pubs and "eateries" for... More

My wife and I found this wonderful gem in Old Portsmouth. The hosts Maggie and Mike were really hospitable and made us feel very welcome. The room was spacious and very clean with easy chairs and a really comfortable bed. We had excellent facilities at our disposal such as a walk in shower and a lovely selection of bathroom toiletries.... More

We stayed here for the 2nd time in the new year and it was even better than our first stay, which I didn't think was possible to top. We spent 3 nights and wished it could have been longer. The bed was so comfy we didn't want to get up at first, although the delicious breakfast on offer downstairs was... More
