Add this experience to your wishlist Burnham High Lighthouse

See more Self catering. See best of West Country in United Kingdom.


Three round bedrooms, an innovatively-fitted galley kitchen and a massive circular bathroom are all stacked on top of one another inside Burnham High Lighthouse. Built in the 1830s to guide ships through the Bristol Channel and now defunct, it is the only self-catering lighthouse accommodation to be found in the whole of the UK, and the building's heritage is far from avoided in the interior decor. Clean, white walls, raw original features (including the old lantern), narrow spiral staircases and endearing local souvenirs make up one of the most unique holiday homes available, but the lantern room is most definitely the crowning glory, with windows on all sides for unbeatable views from sunrise to the magnificent sunset over the sea to the West.
