Fran and Les extend a warm welcome to their lovingly restored, privately owned lighthouse. |
Branscombe Lodge Cottage
Old Higher Lighthouse, Portland Bill
Built
in the 18th century the lighthouse was used for its original purpose
until 1906. Past owners include Dr Marie Stopes, the pioneer of
birth control, who entertained a number of famous people during
her time there (see history page).
The lighthouse actually has four cottages within its grounds and
it is Branscombe Lodge Cottage, a beautifully restored old paraffin store,
which is available for holiday lets. At the time Fran & Les
purchased the property in 1981 it had lain derelict for a number
of years but it has now been lovingly restored without losing its
unique character.
Sitting almost on Portland Bill Branscombe Lodge Cottage is peacefully situated
up a quiet track and offers spectacular views from the lighthouse
tower. It's ideal for walkers, ornithologists, photographers or
those just wanting to get away from it all.
