I could totally live there. Would be a phenomenal home. Can't believe it's still abandoned

[@patrigdon4205]

100%! Id go tomorrow if it had running water and was close enough to make bi weekly food runs or something. And fishing. This IS fantastic! AGREED!

[@jomama5186]

Same here. A harden, some chickens and maybe a few sheep, a fresh water holder, and I'd be set !

[@patrigdon4205]

@jomama5186 what is a harden?

[@rufusgroves1820]

I worked on no man's land fort for about a year. It was a bit lonely when it was empty. There was a mannequin in the basement that made me jump out of my skin every time I went down there 😂

[@patrigdon4205]

It would have had to take swim w the fishes.......nah

[@KD-KayakDanglerUK]

I visited this in the 80s with school , crazy place before it was renovated, looks amazing now

[@Mr.Unbreakable83]

The owners of this place should turn it into the world's first airbnb in the middle of the ocean. This place is absolutely gorgeous.

[@AANDYist]

its in the solent not the ocean, also had bad reviews when was open mate

[@simon-oy6um]

I remember climbing on that fort 60 years ago when it was abandoned and deralict ,wonderful to see it now 😊😊

[@rebeccabailey9258]

Wow! This property is absolutely amazing! The combination of nautical, brick & stone! So loving the lighthouse/ship vibe! And the history! Lovely old furniture but no fireplaces?, LOL! Would love to book a stay! What a uniquely beautiful concept and property! From USA. Thank you so much for sharing❣️

[@deanwebb1362]

What an amazing place just imagine making that into one big home. Absolutely stunning😊😊

[@mikemotorbike4283]

insanity in 2 weeks awaits

[@katlhp957]

They are auctioning it on 12/14/2023. Can you believe it's been abandoned all this time? It's so beautiful and such a magnificent piece of history! I hope someone will purchase it and keep the same vision. I'd definitely put it on my travel list!

[@Flat_Earth_Sophia]

And so many homeless.

[@Doggmatt]

​@@Flat_Earth_Sophiaand yet no matter what happens to this those people will still be homeless 🙄. I don't really understand your point!

[@Flat_Earth_Sophia]

@@Doggmatt That's wrong. What don't you get?

[@IAmHisSword]

Sad to say, but they would never put one homeless person in this forte. They’d fill it with migrants first. Welcome to the new world.

[@Flat_Earth_Sophia]

@@IAmHisSword True enough.

[@Marilyn195]

Alex’s hidden talents-guitar playing…enjoyed seeing the Reno’s of that former bunker,is definetly going to be a classy get away hotel site🇨🇦

[@VacantHaven]

🤣🤟 thank you. Yeah it's apparently £500 a night here, but just sat in the middle of the sea abandoned.

[@Spa67]

That's such a shame, it looks so good and is now falling apart again. It looks beautifully designed and lovingly and cozy.

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Very nice place to stay , If you could afford it !! Thanks for the look round , Stuart in Canada ..

[@MarianneNelson-dv8kk]

That was awesome , so beautiful. Thank you guys ❤️

[@glengosling5636]

Amazing, hope new owners can make a go of it, I’d love to visit.

[@alexhayden2303]

The trouble is that we have stopped fighting them on the beaches!

[@jezwaters2773]

Our friends own that fort and Spitbank plus one of the derelict. Spent millions doing them up. We last stayed at Spitbank in 2019/2020 closed them as not enough people wanting to book them. They were up for sale a few years ago. Pity.

[@redlion-o8855]

9:14 Pembroke Dock my hometown mentioned, didn't expect to see that on this vid. Cool!

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Alex, whoa why on earth is that place abandoned, it looks ready to receive guests, what a great place to get away to. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🥰

[@Abadger77777]

Blinder chaps..proper turn out when you started talking about flange 😅😅im cracking up aint heard that in donkeys proper 🤣 ❤😅😅😊

[@sheilad83]

I have no how i missed this one #Alex! I loved this one! Just going back and looking at the ones i missed! ❤

[@jasonlewry3307]

I’ve stayed here and the smaller sister spitbank fort. It was an amazing stay run by a company who gave full tour, an overnight stay and incredible food. Was lucky enough to pick it up on secret escapes at just under half price. It was £800 per night at full price from memory. One of our best stays ever…… please check out the raves that happened there in the 80’s!! Looked epic. The rubbish that had to be cleared up when they were renovated into hotels was ridiculous. It sits over an aquifer that comes from France and has its own water supply. You can walk around the cavity in the smaller fort and it’s a spooky walk… I could go on for hours about the place. Packed with history both ancient and recent……So sad it’s empty and now for sale….. I believe Covid was the nail in its coffin.😢

[@kingy23king17]

Can't believe this place is abandoned! Its awesome.

[@roseogrady8785]

What a amazing Place.. That's a WOW.

[@davidupton4730]

The chap who owns “Dreams Beds” bought this fort at one time, apparently, In Portsmouth we have so many historical buildings and things to see.

[@toriladybird511]

Hi from Portsmouth sad I didn't know about this video when you put it out! But here I am so glad I finally get to see it.

[@Dan-xx5jq]

It could be a nice hotel under proper management. Lots of hotels in Thailand and Fiji are located on tiny islands and it is amazing how much is recycled and reused on the islands with as little impact to the land and water on the island. They collect all the gray water, ie water from baths, kitchen except the toilet waste, and it is treated on site and released in retention ponds which are beautifully landscaped into the hotel with koi fish. The water then treated and used everywhere except for drinking. All garbage and kitchen refuse is treated with the organics used to make compost which helps to grow the herb and vegetable gardens. Very little is incinerated. The heat from the incinerator is used to heat the water for bathing etc. And sola energy is used to provide all the power needed. The toilet waste is placed in holding tanks and pumped out with equipment from the mainland using trucks and boats. Of course all plumbing has to reworked to separate the gray water. But this place can easily do it too. It could be almost self sufficient. The hotels in the Maldives all have their own sea planes for guests at the hotel.

[@judedavidson5453]

Definitely zombie proof, I'll turn it in to a community place grow food in the middle greenhouse full self contained off grid living love it thankz guys.

[@AbandonedandForgottenWales]

Awesome video,and great to see the fort being restored and reused.Keep up the good content 👊

[@lynnedeeloo]

I was lucky enough to stay there once with my husband, as a surprise for him when it was an Amazing Venues Hotel. It was an amazing place and the walls in our bedroom were about three or four feet thick. Such a shame its been abandoned all that time, I really hope that it becomes another hotel as I'd like to revisit it again one day.

[@JamesRogers-vs4vb]

We used to have raves on there bout 15 years ago it never looked like that tho used get a few hundred people was brilliant

[@stevearmstrong4561]

It is wonderful that urban vandals could not get to this place to destroy it.

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

Such an awesome place. Well worth seeing. Beautiful inside and bright. Still need that bath ☺️😸

[@VacantHaven]

Thank you Jackie and yeah I thought about running myself a bath there 🤣🤣🤣

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

@@VacantHaven I just love the shape of the bath, and just know it would look great in my bathroom. 😁

good place fishing round there in the summer , when i had my Hardy with a yam 60 on , before it got smashed up in the hurrican of 1987.

What a great 👍 property

[@1jahelen]

How did you guys get out there? Did you have a boat??

[@jomama5186]

Hope it is open again soon !

[@noahkling4018]

Why is that abandoned? That place looks nice. I would convert it to a house and live there.

[@marcushull12]

it had been open for 8 years then In 2020, use of the hotel was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. The hotel was unable to reopen as other English hotels did in July, "due to their unique requirements in both transportation and sanitisation requirements"

[@Dan-xx5jq]

​@@marcushull12sad. I am all for saving the environment but of late it has just gone too far. The people that make up the rules and regulations have no clue about operating these places etc They are usually a bunch of lawyers and some environment biologist etc who have nothing better to do but sit in a nice office making up more unnecessary things one has to abide by. They don't take into consideration the consequences to small businesses with all their impractical rules which make little impact on the environment. Just like the US now trying to stop the use of gas stoves/cookers in US households, yet the VP Kamala Harris was photographed this Thanksgiving next to her gas stove. I do as much I can for the environment, always recycling and re-using, as I buy most of items/clothes from trift stores being on a measly disability income. But these darn rich lawyers who write these regulations are always spending their money on the most expensive handbags, fancy cars and flying all over the place. It is same as Harry and Meghan educating us on the environment yet they are constantly flying private all over the world. Now these mom and pop businesses have to suffer the blunt of their ridiculous regulations and taxes putting them out of business!

[@midwestmike613]

​@@marcushull12 that's a shame beautiful place definitely sad to hear the rona bring down so many beautiful locations only to be bought by the friends of the people responsible for the rona debacle in one way or another.

[@joevanlear7566]

Would have been more enjoyable if we actually saw more than two seconds where you werent following your mate and swinging the camera all over the place.

[@Mike-h1k]

I’ll wager you complain about everything.

[@jackb7705]

The best bit was the drone footage of everything that he didn’t explore 🙄 also a narrow angle lens was useless along with no camera stabilisation. Feel like he missed a lot of film opportunity here

[@wklilly1]

A bit rude. You’re not wrong. It’s dizzying, agree there, but your delivery could be better.

[@beverlybradley5485]

The filming is terrible, my vertigo has kicked in.

[@lindabainbridge7574]

​@@Mike-h1kthat's a wager you'd lose

I think this fort was famously used in the filming of a doctor who story in the 1970s. The story was in 1972 and featured Jon Pertwee as the doctor.

[@bazra19]

One of the was I'm not sure which one though.
