Family hotels in Gosport

From historic sites and museums to beautiful beaches and an array of indoor and outdoor activities, Gosport has plenty of attractions and activities that promise an unforgettable holiday experience for families. Here are some top recommendations for you and your loved ones.

A visit to Gosport wouldn't be complete without exploring its impressive maritime history. Fascinate all ages with a visit to Fort Brockhurst, a well-preserved Victorian fortress or dive into the world of underwater exploration at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum. Take a ride on the iconic Gosport Ferry, which links the town with Portsmouth, opening up a world of additional family-friendly attractions, such as the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the Spinnaker Tower. Gosport's coastline and beaches create the perfect setting for a day of family fun, building sandcastles, enjoying a paddle in the sea, or simply taking a leisurely walk by the water. Rainy days won't dampen your holiday spirit with Gosport's numerous indoor and outdoor activity centres offering a range of exciting family activities, from indoor play areas to climbing walls and trampolining centres. Finally, take a step back in time with a visit to Rowner, site of the ancient Anglo-Saxon settlement, allowing your family to immerse themselves in the fascinating history of the area.

The best time to visit Gosport for warm-weather activities and family outings is from late June to early September, during the 3-month warm season. Spring (March through May) and summer (June through August) offer comfortably cool temperatures and moderate precipitation, making it ideal to explore the many outdoor attractions that Gosport has to offer. While July tends to be the busiest month for tourism, followed by September and August, planning your holiday to avoid term times is always advisable. This ensures that you can enjoy a guilt-free family break without the risk of any fines for taking your children out of school during term time.
