West Usk Lighthouse, The

Set on the old coastal road between Newport and Cardiff, this former lighthouse offers unique accommodation with views over the Severn and Usk Estuaries and the Bristol Channel.
Designed over 2 floors, plus the lantern room, the West Usk Lighthouse is a circular building with a spiral staircase running through the middle, with a wishing well at the very bottom. As a result, each room features a distinctive wedge shape. Not your most traditional hotel, at the bottom of the stairs you will also find a Dalek!
Quirky, friendly and relaxed, the West Usk Lighthouse aims to offer a relaxing stay unlike any other. You can enjoy a session in the Floatation Tank, have a soak in the hot tub which is on the roof and be pampered with a choice of complementary therapies.The West Usk Lighthouse was decommissioned in 1921 and was sold as a country retreat with over 50 acres of land. It was left derelict for a number of years afterwards until its conversion to a home in 1989. Today it offers comfortable accommodation and a room that has been made over by the TV programme "The Hotel Inspector".
The lighthouse also offers an authentic Mongolian yurt and holiday mobile home suitable for those who would like to do some fishing or bird watching or just would like to experience peace or something quite different whilst visiting Wales. On request and at an additional cost, a Rolls Royce can take you to a local restaurant, sipping champagne if you want!
