Guest Houses and B&Bs
Give your stay a more personal touch by staying at one of the Portsmouth’s many guest houses and B&Bs. We wouldn’t be a self-respecting seaside resort without a great selection, so you know you won’t be let down when it comes to choice of budget, location and offer.
Many of these guest houses have been around for generations, with visitors returning to their favourites year after year. Book your next stay at one of the below options and you may end up setting a new tradition for yourself!
Southsea is home to a number of independent B&Bs, with a great many centred around Waverley Road, Florence Road and Festing Road. Here, the guest houses are just a short walk from Southsea seafront, providing easy access to the Rock Gardens, Canoe Lake and South Parade Pier.
The city has a varied architecture that spans centuries, meaning that each guest house has something different to offer. Whether it's a fresh, sleek and modern affair, or the bay windows and high ceilings favoured in Victorian times that you're after, there should certainly be places to stay in Portsmouth that fit the bill.
Bed and breakfasts in Portsmouth all have easy-to-access star ratings, be that from the AA, Visit England or elsewhere. This provides a good indication of what to expect before you book, from an independent and impartial source. In the listings we have also noted any award winners, including the Visit England annual awards or Green Tourism Business, for those running sustainable enterprises.
Please note that accommodation in Portsmouth is likely to book up early for weekends where there's a big event (like Victorious Festival). Check the listings to keep up to date with what's going on in the city so you can be fully prepared.
