Portsmouth bed and breakfast will typically offer comfortable and cost effective b&b lodgings with the additional benefit of the owner's personal knowledge of the town and it's visitor attractions.
Portsmouth has acted as one of the primary Naval Bases of the United Kingdom for many centuries. This is reflected by the recent construction of the Spinnaker Tower, a 558 foot tower in the Harbour shaped like the sail of a ship. In the dry dock it is possible to find the legendary ship, the HMS Victory.
It is an 18th century ship which is synonymous with Admiral Horatio Nelson and his victory over the French and Spanish at the battle of Trafalgar. It is the vessel in which his body was transported back to England and she now functions as a museum, making her the oldest of the navy’s ship still in commission.
The harbour has variously been used by the Kings of England to defend and attack. A tradition dating back to Richard the Lionheart whose love of the town caused him to develop it by granting its first Royal Charter to hold a ‘Free Market Fair’ and ordering the construction of many buildings.
A popular destination for tourists and anyone interested in the maritime history, the city is a very hospitable place for visitors. A Bed and Breakfast in Portsmouth is the ideal base from where you can explore the city and its many attractions.
Lodgings range from the centrally located guest houses to a number of well maintained old buildings with a sense of the past.
