Lighthouse Business

West Usk Lighthouse £950,000 St Brides, Wentloog, Newport, S.Wales NP10 8SF

The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1922, and became a private house shortly afterwards but soon fell into dis-repair. The Sheahan family purchased the West Usk in 1987. It took 2 years of hard work to make it habitable

The West Usk Lighthouse has been used as a bed and breakfast and has its own flotation tank, outdoor hot tub, life-size Dalek model signed by one of the Doctor Whos and a Rolls-Royce. The lighthouse has been run since the 1980s as a bed and breakfast by the same family who are moving on in search of a sunnier climate.
