English country holiday cottages to rent

Self catering holiday cottages in Portsmouth

Portsmouth, the ‘Island City’, is the birthplace of Charles Dickens (and home to Rudyard Kipling and Arthur Conan Doyle during their lives) and a quite effervescent city, bubbling with an incredible and quite enviable maritime heritage stretching back some 800 years. It is home to two of Henry VIII’s most famous artefacts (his six wives aside!), the Mary Rose and Southsea Castle. Admiral Lord Nelson’s iconic battleship HMS Victory is also berthed in the city’s historic dockland area. And the city’s most modern of attractions, the Spinnaker Tower, looking down on Gunwharf Quays, offers 360-degree panoramas which, from its 170 metre height, gives views that stretch almost to 25 miles. There’s a 100-acre common right on the seafront that is very popular for picnics, dog walking or just relaxing and letting the time and the people pass by.

And for the self-catering holiday maker, as in any major city, you won’t be disappointed with the food available from a rich panoply of shops selling produce from the ‘four corners’ of the globe. It’s also a great place for general shopping, and the one thing you will find with no trouble is a maritime-themed gift.
