I bloody love anything to do with The Muppets, and so have swiftly begun checking my holiday sheet after discovering you can stay at the actual lighthouse from hit ’80s show, Fraggle Rock.
Although Jim Henson’s beloved characters have long since moved out, St Anthony’s Lighthouse in St Mawes, Cornwall, still makes for a charming – and truly iconic – seaside destination.
At the base of the striking white lighthouse is Sally Port Cottage, a one storey holiday home where up to four people can enjoy a beautiful, peaceful getaway.
With breathtaking views, this haven of tranquillity is located at the end of a 300-metre long path from the land above; offering a peaceful sanctuary besides crashing Cornish waves.
Available to book through Host Unusual, Sally Port Cottage comes with its own observation room where guests can watch the sun set in comfort.
As well as a patio with ocean views, this uniquely lovely hideaway offers a cosy sitting room complete with a telly, meaning you can watch all your favourite Muppet movies in style.
Although you may feel a million miles away from anywhere, St Anthony’s Lighthouse is located in the sweet seaside town of St Mawes, which boasts the oldest small bakery in the whole of Cornwall, dating all the way back to 1912.
For those looking to explore further afield, the bustling Cornish capital of Truro, is just a 40 minute drive away.
