Stella details

In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Stella at Nash Point Lighthouse.

Stella (with accommodation for 5 guests) is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse which is located on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. There are wonderful safe beaches, many of which have been awarded the coveted blue flag.
The perimeter of the holiday site is fully fenced and gated but once outside this area, it is very dangerous for children. Strict supervision at all times is recommended, as not all guests will remember to keep the gate closed and locked.

This lighthouse does not have a fog horn.

The lighthouse is open to the public from Saturday 7th April until Sunday 30th September (weather permitting). If you would like to view the lighthouse, go to www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses/visitor-centres.html or telephone 01803 771802.

Access roads to some of the lighthouse sites are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.

Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
