Becketts Townhouse - 4-Star Hotel in Portsmouth

Becketts Townhouse occupies two meticulously restored Grade II listed buildings built in 1900, a project that earned the 'Best Restoration' award. The inn offers six en-suite bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, with some rooms providing views of the city. Guests access their rooms and the building after hours via a keypad code system, and a complimentary Prosecco is offered on check-in.

The on-site bar serves a creative cocktail menu distinct from typical hotel offerings, with drinks priced around £13 each. Breakfast includes a continental buffet with fruits, pastries, cereals, and a choice of hot bacon or sausage baps, with vegetarian options available. The bar area features a log burner and board games, and guests can dine in the unique Courtyard extension for private dinners.

Becketts Townhouse offers exclusive no venue hire fee for private events and functions, a feature that has attracted weddings, engagement parties, and 30th birthday celebrations. The venue provides a Vault room with disco lights and a photo booth (£5 per photo), and guests can customise signature cocktail menus. The team also handles catering for events, including grazing buffets and mezze boards, and has hosted wakes with a Spotify playlist of favourite songs.

The inn is dog-friendly, providing pet bowls and a welcome that allows pets to stay in the rooms. Additional amenities include express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and a safety deposit box, with CCTV in common areas and outside the property. The hotel also offers a designated smoking area and a terrace with outdoor furniture.

Becketts Townhouse is located 600 metres from Southsea Common Beach and within walking distance of Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the Mary Rose Museum. Public transport stops are directly outside the hotel, with buses every 10 minutes to the city centre and the Hoverport for Isle of Wight flights. The property is also close to Port Solent Marina and Boatyard (11 km) and Utilita Bowl (29 km), with Southampton Airport 36 km away.
