Decommissioned in 1902, Belle Tout lighthouse now has six rooms
(Belle Tout Lighthouse)
Climb up to the lantern room in this remote B&B for a 360-degree lookout of the English Channel and the Seven Sisters and South Downs. Decommissioned in 1902, less than a century after it was built, the lighthouse now has six rooms. Only one is in the tower – the atmospheric Keeper’s Loft, with exposed brick, small window and double bed on a mezzanine reached by a ladder. It’s a tight squeeze, though, so if you want more space, plump for the bigger, lighter and brighter five rooms in the adjoining house.
Whichever room you choose, be sure to watch sunrises over Beachy Head Lighthouse and sunsets over the Birling Gap, either from the lounge or the lantern room, with its outdoor walkway. Once darkness falls, take a nightcap up the stairs for a spot of stargazing.
Price: Doubles from £195
