Historic HotelThe property was built in 1779 when Portsmouth started to outgrow the original town. New docks and warehouses were built. Under the strict permission of Prince George, Queen Anne's husband, workers were able to build houses and lodges close to the dock. The Historic Dockyard was the main source of income for residents along the coast in the 18th century. Keppels Head Hotel has been around ever since, accommodating travellers and the Royal Navy.
