Named after an old ship of the Line, Fortitude Cottage overlooks the quayside at the heart of Old Portsmouth. Situated a few yards from the ancient fortifications which give unrivelled views of the ships as they pass through the harbour entrance. Established forty four years ago, Fortitude Cottage enjoys an excellent reputation for providing welcoming and comfortable accommodation combined with quality. There are four prettily furnished bedrooms and immaculately maintained, each with TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfasts are served in a bow windowed dining room with a view of the fishing boats and ferries. For lunches and evening meals, there is an excellent selection of tea rooms, bistros, restaurants and pubs all within a few minutes walk.

To walk through Old Portsmouth today, with its cobbled streets, charming pubs and restaurants is a walk through maritime history. Narrow side streets and old fortitfications reveal a medieval community huddled together within town walls.Much still remains to entrigue. For over 800 years every English monarch with the exception of Mary Tudor, passed down the ancient High Street. It was in these streets that press gangs roamed seeking new recruits for the Navy, and where sailors took their ease, as sailors will! Standing proudly at the corner of Broad Street and High Street, the Square Tower was the official residence of the towns military governor.
