EXPLORE THE ESTATE

Overlooking the charming Church Ope Cove, with views stretching along the Jurrasic Coastline, Pennsylvania Castle has inspired writers and hosted royalty. The bright Portland stone and neo-gothic aesthetic effortlessly combine intimacy, elegance and grandeur.

Our Story

We became custodians of the castle when it was purchased by Colonial Leisure Ltd in 2011 and, since then, we have expanded the estate to include our lodges, the park and the Hayloft. In 2020 we built Clifftops, a project which focussed on respecting the natural environment of the Jurassic Coast and signifying our desire to create unforgettable experiences in an undeniably unique destination.

Our team strive to exceed your expectations, by understanding your individual requirements and tailoring our offer to suit your specific needs. So whether you’re looking for a completely managed wedding, a fully catered family holiday, or enjoy some quiet privacy to drink in the views, we’ve got you covered.
