A holiday with a view in a lighthouse keeper’s cottage

The sound of crashing waves, the smell of sea air, morning walks on the beach and watching the sun set over the water… there’s nothing more refreshing and revitalising than a holiday by the sea. And you can’t get much closer than a spectacular lighthouse keeper’s cottage.

Rural Retreats are the only company in the UK that offer such an eclectic and vast range of lighthouse properties. Exclusively partnered with Trinity House, we have a collection of 32 lighthouses on some of the most beautiful parts of the UK’s shoreline. Take a look and start planning a genuinely different type of coastal break…

An exclusive partnership with Trinity House

With over 500 years of history, today Trinity House is the UK’s largest-endowed maritime charity. In fact, they maintain over 60 lighthouses around England and Wales, over half of which have associated holiday cottages. These gorgeous escapes come with buckets of coastal charm, comfortable facilities and – of course – ocean views like no other.

Thanks to our exclusive partnership, Rural Retreats is the only place you can book a stay in one of these stunning holiday properties.

A cottage break like no other

Often overlooked, lighthouse stays are some of the most unique holidays the British Isles have to offer. Our collection of 32 properties around the coast of the UK span from the tip of Cornwall through to the cliffs at Whitby, sleeping from between 2 and 8 guests.

All our lighthouse cottages are comfortably appointed with the modern amenities you would expect, all at the superb quality you would expect from a Rural Retreats break. Bright, modern interiors with superior bathrooms, dining areas and kitchens feature across all our lighthouse properties. This puts you in the centre of comfort and relaxation – ensuring you have a truly memorable holiday.

Unique locations for family and friends

Not only does staying in a lighthouse make a unique location to stay and experience, but they make a great getaway for groups of friends and families alike. Many of our self-catering properties welcome children and pets, so no one has to miss out on a memorable holiday with the people they love.

Based at popular locations around the UK, you’ll find yourself tucked away from the hustle and bustle, enjoying a relaxing holiday without missing out on all the local attractions and activities on offer. Or, if you’d rather stay closer to home, each one of our lighthouse accommodations come with a stunning outdoor area in which to relax and enjoy time together… complete with a sea view, of course!

Functioning lighthouses steeped in history

Many of our lighthouses are still fully functioning and come with a fascinating history which you can learn and indulge in on your visit. There are usually guided tours available so you can experience how they work, who they service and how long they’ve been working for. This adds a completely different atmosphere to your self-catering holiday, allowing you to take a break in history.
