On the ground floor is the impressive living accommodation, a spacious drawing room and library, ideal for socialising while enjoying the sea views, a cosy study, a formal dining room as well as a fully-equipped kitchen which boasts all the tools you could possibly need to whip up a delicious meal. On the mezzanine-style floor above are the first two bedrooms, a super-king and a twin room, both complete with en-suite facilities. Upstairs on the first floor are seven of the bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom or shower room. The master bedroom is truly special, positioned within the turret of the castle it boasts impressive views out to sea and features an emperor bed and freestanding handmade bath. On this level, there are a further five king or super-king rooms as well as a fantastic family room which can be set up with either two super-king beds, four singles or a combination!

The tranquil gardens are perfect for afternoon strolls or picnics, after action-packed days spent exploring this delightful part of Dorset, guests will enjoy laidback meals al fresco on the terrace.Penn Castle is situated on the Isle of Portland, the most southernmost point on the Jurassic coast, a tied island joined to the mainland by Chesil beach. Despite being relatively small in size, there is plenty to see, do and explore without even leaving the isle, enjoy a visit to the 16th century Portland Castle, Rufus Castle or Portland Bill Lighthouse or simply choose to spend afternoons lazing in the sun on Church Ope Cove.
