I posted these Victorian island forts when they first went up for sale and were not converted. Well, thanks to anatovrocktail, who sent them all fixed up as hotels and for sale again. (Guess they weren't such a great idea.) They're up for auction and the bidding starts at $1M each.
The first one is called Spitbank Fort and is located in Solent, Hampshire, UK.
And, this one is called No Mans Land Fort, in Solent, off Isle of Wight, UK. Which one would you choose?
Spitbank. You can turn them into homes, or anything else, with approval.
No Mans Land. Hmmm, 2 very different visions.
Spitbank game room and a dining room for event dining.
No Mans Land. Has 2 dining spaces. A bistro and more formal dining.
Spitbank's restaurant & wedding venue.
No Mans Land's communal seating area and game room.
Spitbank's dungeon-like gym and communal sitting area.
No Mans Land rooms with glass floors and ceilings. Weird.
Spitbank's outdoor area with a hot tub on the roof.
No Mans Land's outdoor area.
Spitbank's nicest bedrooms.
No Mans Land's bedrooms.
Spitbank
Or No Mans Land? I wonder how hard it is to get staff for these places. What a pain getting to work.

“Where are we, Mr Bush? I don’t recognise it.”
“It’s Portsmouth, sir.”
“Really? It looks completely different!”
“Everywhere does now, sir.”
“And what’s that?”
“I believe it’s Spitbank Fort.”
“Funny spot to put a fort, don’t you think?”
“It’s not my place to say, sir.”
“I’m not sure I like these newfangled ships. No guns, no sails, and the food..! Where’s the salt beef and hard tack?”
“I don’t know, William, but I do know one thing.”
“What’s that, sir?”
“They have coffee.. Lots of coffee.”
(I should have taken a photo of Horatio in front of a Costa Coffee sign. Missed a trick there!)
“Where are we now?”
“Yarmouth Castle, I believe.”
“Look, sir: a gun at last! It’s a bit small, though.”
“Seems big enough to me, Mr Bush.”
“Aha! This is more like it. That’s what I call a gun! FIRE!!!”
“Don’t get carried away, Mr Bush; we can’t take it home. Hotspur’s too small, and we don’t have enough gunpowder.”
“Plenty of that here, sir. We could do some serious damage to the French with this!”
“Yes. For goodness’s sake, don’t tell Styles.”
“My lips are sealed. Sir?”
“Yes, Mr Bush?”
“About that gun, sir...”
#hornblower bears#mr bush bear#horatio bear#my photos#isle of wight#yarmouth castle#i was going to take them to the needles old battery#but that got nixed because the queue for the car park was insanely long#archie has the sniffles so he stayed at home

Finally, someone bought an 18th century abandoned sea fort, that was constructed to defend the British from Napoleon’s navy, and turned it into a luxury hotel.
This is the former Spitbank Fort.
It’s now called Solent Forts. This lounge is lovely.
Game room.
There’re only 8 suites, so it’s kind of intimate.
Very romantic and I would be happy that I could still see land.
