★ Portholes at the waterline · A lounge deck under strung lamps · A launch to fetch you from the pier ★
A Victorian red-hulled lightship moored a mile offshore, her masthead lantern burning through every storm. The main saloon runs below the waterline — round brass portholes on both sides showing dark water and distant harbour lights, red leather chesterfields between iron ribs, oil lanterns swinging on gimbals, and a brass reception desk topped with the ship's bell. A wrought-iron spiral stair rises to the lounge deck above, where lamps are strung stem to stern until dawn.
Ring the brass bell and choose your cabin for the night.
