TAKE a look inside the luxury apartments on the Dorset coast which offer beautiful and scenic views - and people can stay in them.

Pennsylvania Castle Estate has officially launched its luxury Clifftops, situated on the cliffs of Portland along the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast.

They consist of the five self-catering apartments, each with a unique design focus, nestled into the cliffs just below the estate and Pennsylvania Castle. 

The lodges provide 'uninterrupted panoramas' of the English Channel and are all angled out to face the natural environment.

The lodges, built from stone selected from Portland’s Albion Stone Mines, are individually named and styled to reflect the surrounding environment that created Clifftops: Blue, Stone, Copper, Silva and Ope.   

The clifftop flora has been recreated to attract the local butterflies and visiting birds while the copper wrapped lodges will sustainably age to retreat into the natural landscape over time. 

The apartments all feature free WiFi as well as a Bose portable sound system, a Samsung smart TV and its own iPad for guest information and lodge management.

Bespoke fires have been designed for both warmth and visual impact in addition to underfloor heating.

Additional luxuries include an outdoor hot tub and outdoor kitchen at ‘Ope’, perfect for entertaining larger groups. 

Clifftops can be hired as a single hire, for corporate retreats or events space or as an intimate wedding location. 

The site can also be hired in conjunction with the Castle, providing additional luxury accommodation for wedding parties or larger groups wishing to take over the Estate as a whole. 

Jo Peters, estate director at Pennsylvania Castle Estate: "We are incredibly excited to announce the opening of Clifftops here at Pennsylvania Castle Estate.

"We have watched as the lodges emerged from the cliffs and it’s been incredible to see the design come to life. 

"As with every element of the Estate, Clifftops has been carefully planned, with each feature curated with comfort, design, and luxury in mind.   

"The clifftop location provides a stunning backdrop for weddings and events, or simply a peaceful escape from the stresses of busy life."
