The Mumbles Lighthouse over the centuries has been the site of numerous historic events and personal stories, many of which revolve around the lighthouse keepers and their families who lived and worked there.

One of the most notable figures in the lighthouse's history is Abraham Ace, a lighthouse keeper in the mid-19th century. Ace and his family lived on the lighthouse island, and his daughters, Jessie Ace and Margaret Wright, played a crucial role in a dramatic rescue in 1883.

During a ferocious storm, the German barque, Admiral Prinz Adalbert, ran aground on the rocks of the lighthouse island. The Mumbles Lifeboat crew made heroic attempts to rescue those on board, but in the process, four of their own were lost. Jessie Ace and Margaret Wright, with the help of Gunner Hutchings from the lighthouse fort, managed to rescue two of the lifeboat crew.

Happy New Year from The Poste House, let’s hope we continue to get reviews like this first one of the year .

“Public review
Just delightful - we stayed for the New Year's weekend and hoped for lots of walks and meals out.
Because the accommodation was so wonderful, cosy and welcoming, it didn't matter that it rained so much and we had to stay in (more than expected) as we had everything we could have wished for at The Poste House! Would love to return in better weather. Thanks for all the care and attention you took to make it a wonderful stay!”

We look forward to welcoming old and new guests alike. Roll on 2024
