Wedding Venue Suggestion for Wales or the UK

Wedding Venue in South Wales for a Unique and Intimate Wedding (in a lighthouse):

The West Usk Lighthouse is a cosy bed and breakfast plus a small wedding venue situated near the City of Newport, Gwent, at the junction of the Severn and the Usk Estuaries, overlooking the Bristol Channel. 

Built in 1821, this wonderfully unique B&B and unique and intimate wedding venue in South Wales is unique among lighthouses. 

All of the accommodation is within the building. It is quirky and comfortable rather than luxurious. 

The West Usk Lighthouse was designed as a first venture by Scottish architect, James Walker, who went on to build another 21 lighthouses. The West Usk Lighthouse, B&B and unique South Wales Wedding Venue is perhaps the strangest house around, found at the end of a very long stony and bumpy track - it is an unusual example of its kind, built to a unique design; not tall as most lighthouses are, and considerably bigger in circumference.

All of the B&B rooms are wedge-shaped and there is a stone spiral staircase in the centre, right above a collecting well, which is now our wishing well! 

The entrance hall is slate bedded and we have a Dalek at the bottom of the stairs and a Tardis on the roof, which is an added bonus for Dr Who fans and those visiting the new Dr Who Exhibition in Cardiff.  This area is one of the two areas that can be used for our intimate weddings in South Wales!

The lighthouse has had a long history of being in the media. Cosmopolitan magazine once named it as "one of the 'Most Romantic B&B's or Wedding Venues in Britain" and we have been featured as a unique B&B and intimate wedding venue in most National Magazines and Newspapers as well as TV programmes such as "The Hotel inspector" in 2008 and many international newspapers as well. 

The Last article in The Telegraph was on Saturday, March 19th 2011. 

We were also one of the 50 best B&Bs in the Independent. We were on ITV1 on the 19th July 2012 with Eamon and Ruth Holmes on "This Morning - Special Destinations".

You can book your B&B Stay or Wedding online if you wish or you can ring them.

Please note that for weekends there is a minimum stay of 2 nights as well as for Bank Holidays, we recommend a 3 night stay. However, sometimes we can let for one night if the room is free or if you ring a couple of days before your intended visit.
