Pennsylvania Castle
castle · coastal · country-house
An exclusive coastal estate on Portland with indoor and outdoor ceremony choices, castle accommodation and modern clifftop lodges. Dorset Council lists a maximum of 100, while the estate can sleep up to 40 across the castle and Clifftops.
Pennsylvania Castle, part of the Penn Estate on Portland, is an exclusive coastal venue with indoor and outdoor ceremony settings and reception spaces overlooking the sea. Dorset Council lists the venue at a maximum of 100. Couples should confirm how that limit applies across the ceremony, dining and evening layouts, as the official venue pages describe several possible spaces rather than one standard room plan.
The castle sleeps up to 20 guests in nine en-suite bedrooms. The Clifftops accommodation adds space for another 20 across ten bedrooms in five lodges, giving a potential estate total of 40. The official offer is based on a minimum two-night exclusive hire, which makes it suitable for a destination-style gathering but also means accommodation and event costs need to be considered together.
No current public numeric wedding price was found on the official pages reviewed, so Acre records Venue to confirm. The quotation should specify which accommodation, spaces, staffing and supplier arrangements are included. Ask for separate costs for the castle and Clifftops stays so you can compare the accommodation choices for your guest list.
