Stella at Nash Point Lighthouse Marcross, Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales | Cottage in Marcross
3 Bedroom Cottage in Llantwit Major, Marcross
In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Stella at Nash Point Lighthouse.
Built in 1832, Nash Point Lighthouse was erected following the loss of many vessels and lives to the Nash Sands. Originally lit by Argand burners; followed by paraffin 'Hood' burners; and later 1,500 watt electric lamps during the 1960s, eventually to be replaced with 150 watt. Now the 20 mile range light is automated and controlled from Trinity House's Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex. The last of the lighthouse keepers left in 1998, and two of the four dwellings have been converted into cosy holiday cottages with all the comforts expected by the 21st century explorer; complete with luxurious mattresses, bedding and towels, well-equipped kitchens, and comfy sitting rooms. The sympathetic restoration process has ensured the ambience of the original dwelling remains, with no bells and whistles, but all the creature comforts needed for an authentic headland stay experience. Unsurprisingly at such a remote location, there is no Wi-Fi here and very little mobile phone reception, the perfect excuse to switch off completely and just relax! A landline telephone is provided for any unexpected emergencies.
Stella's generous single-storey accommodation includes a sitting room; a separate dining room; and a modern fully-equipped kitchen. There are three bedrooms; one with a king-size bed, a twin room and a single room; the modern family bathroom has a bath with overhead shower and a separate loo with additional wash basin. Outside, an enclosed, gravelled garden provides a private spot to enjoy an al-fresco meal on the stone garden furniture provided.
There are wonderful safe beaches, many of which have been awarded the coveted blue flag. In particular, there is Ogmore-by-Sea (just over 4 miles away), Barry Island, Southerndown and Porthcawl, which are particularly good for windsurfing. A short drive away (just over 8 miles) Cowbridge offers a good range of shops with small boutiques, craft and art galleries and excellent restaurants and pubs. Further along the coast is the famous Gower peninsula and walking on the Mumbles.
Now a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to a rare plant, the Tuberous Thistle (Cirsium tuberosum) discovered within the grounds of the station in 1977.
Also available to book at this location is Ariel, sleeping five guests.
