Located in the picturesque region of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, St Catherine's Lighthouse offers a unique self-catering accommodation experience through its association with Trinity House and Dorset Hideaways. Among the three former lighthouse keepers' cottages on the site, Gurndard Cottage stands out as the easternmost option, providing comfortable lodging for up to five guests. This charming cottage is well-equipped with essential amenities, including an entrance hall, a cozy sitting room, a dining room, a fully fitted kitchen, a bathroom, and three bedrooms consisting of a double, a twin, and a single.
St Catherine's Lighthouse is conveniently located just outside the quaint hamlet of Niton, making it an ideal base for exploring the Isle of Wight. The cottage is roughly a 10-minute drive from Ventnor, a popular coastal resort known for its scenic beauty and vibrant atmosphere, being the southernmost point of the island. The proximity to Ventnor allows guests to enjoy the local attractions while returning to the tranquility of the lighthouse site for restful evenings.
The site itself features a total of three self-catering cottages, including Gurndard Cottage, Landward Cottage, which accommodates four guests, and Penda Cottage, which also sleeps five. This arrangement makes it suitable for larger groups or families looking for a shared holiday experience while still enjoying their own private spaces. The cottages' historical significance as former lighthouse keepers' residences adds a unique charm to the stay, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the rich maritime heritage of the area.
For those interested in local amenities, an excellent real ale pub is located just a 10-minute walk uphill from the cottages, offering a delightful spot for guests to unwind and enjoy the local brews. The combination of comfortable accommodations, stunning coastal views, and nearby attractions makes Gurndard Cottage and the St Catherine's Lighthouse site a perfect choice for a relaxing getaway on the Isle of Wight.
