The only self-catering lighthouse in Britain where you actually get to sleep inside round rooms in a 110-foot- tall historic lighthouse tower. Built in 1830 and located on sand dunes near a six-mile stretch of award-winning golden beaches in Somerset, Burnham High Lighthouse is the perfect location for an unforgettable holiday, romantic weekend, or short-break. The High Lighthouse still has its original lantern preserved inside a room with a glass floor and copper-domed roof. Climb 120 steps, through 8-storeys, to the lantern room and from the balcony you will enjoy the best views in Somerset – up to 22 miles in every direction!

The tower sleeps six comfortably in:

• Three double rooms – all are en-suite.
• Separate circular bathroom complete with a French cast-iron roll-top bath overlooked by a ship’s figurehead
• Modern fully-equipped galley kitchen at the top.
• Second kitchen/breakfast room at the bottom with a farmhouse table and dome ceiling.

• Well behaved pets are welcome but must be restricted to the ground floor.
• There is a strict NO SMOKING policy throughout the building.

Burnham-on Sea is an old-fashioned Victorian seaside resort – much smaller than the neighbouring Weston-Super-Mare. It is an ideal base for a family seaside holiday or an unforgettable break with friends. The lighthouse is located only 2 miles from the M5 and is an ideal base to explore Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. The list of things to do is endless from windsurfing, golf and kite-flying on the beach to shopping in Glastonbury or exploring the historic cities of Wells, Bath, Bristol and Exeter.
