About No Mans Fort
No Mans Fort makes the most of its bar and dining room, serving food to guests who've made the journey out to this converted sea fort off Portsmouth. Breakfast is included, and the bar gives the fort's stone-walled interior a sociable focal point once the day's exploring is done.
The 22 rooms sit within the thick walls of the original Victorian fortification, a striking setting for what is now a hotel and events venue. Beyond the rooms, guests can spend time in the garden, make use of meeting rooms if travelling for work, and take advantage of porter and concierge services along with luggage storage. There's even laser games on site for something more active. Childcare is available for those bringing family along.
Free on-site parking is provided, and beyond the fort itself there's entertainment, pubs, bars and restaurants nearby for anyone keen to see more of the surrounding area. Free WiFi keeps guests connected throughout their stay.
What guests say
Went on a day trip visit with a lovely 3 course lunch. Very well done with a light tour with key historical detail. I'm sure it is a lovely place to stay with quirky rooms and lots of places to relax with stunning views. I would say it was good value at £65 a head.

Mixed reviews about No Man’s Fort.... A great idea and experience. The best thing was watching the sunset in the hot tub! We were very lucky with the weather. However: - definitely understaffed - the different bars are not all open at once only specific timings which is extremely annoying if you wish to have a drink but explore elsewhere on the fort - drinks are highly priced (£14 for a large glass of wine!) with additional 12.5% on your drink orders despite having to go up to the bar (no waiter service) - a huge disappointment for us was at dinner they make you sit on large round tables with other guests. Not what you expect when you go away for a romantic weekend as a couple. Instead of spending quality time with your loved one you end up talking to other guests which was fine but not what we had planned/wished to do but we had no choice. - the gourmet dinner was good but we had no clue what we were getting until it was served - lacks atmosphere - no music on the decking and the cabaret bar was shocking (the only bar open after dinner) - we had a surprise sword and champagne experience which never took place and staff were not easily available to find out so gave up - our room was dripping with rusty water which stained the carpet.. may be difficult for them to fix but something to consider if possible - the breakfast was already running out of things at 08:40 and again you sit on round tables I feel for the price, these issues should be rectified.

Lovely adventure starts with a 40 minute boat ride out into the Solent. The fort looks very forbidding as you arrive. A welcome glass of fizz then a tour and you are left to roam at your leisure. Rooms were massive, food was good and staff very friendly. Would love to return

We would highly recommend an overnight stay at the Fort. We had a fantastic experience. We were very lucky that the weather was fantastic. We shared the boat with people visiting Spitbank Fort and people that were going for lunch on No Man's Fort. The staff organised the two groups very well. We were ushered to the open space on top of the Fort where the bar was open. Whilst the lunch group were taken to the dining area. We were then given a tour, which was very interesting. After the tour we were given the keys to our rooms, where our bags were already in the rooms. We chose to enjoy the lovely weather and use the hot tubs, and later in the afternoon used the games room. Dinner was at 8pm, we were sat with other overnight guests, we didn't mind this at all, and it made the evening very sociable. The food was excellent, and the service brilliant. Breakfast was served in the atrium, it was self service and very good. From the time we checked in at the Gunwharf until we left the Fort, the staff were fantastic, they were helpful, friendly and attentive.
