FRAGGLE ROCK was one of the most popular children's TV shows of the 1980s, featuring a cast of puppet creatures called Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs.

The programme, which was created by Jim Henson, ran for 96 episodes until 1987 and showed the animals playing, exploring and having fun on a rocky outcrop at sea - known as Fraggle Rock - that was also home to a lighthouse.

Fraggle Rock kept children in the 80s entertained, and was broadcast in 95 countries.

The lighthouse featured in the opening credits of the show, where the camera zooms down from the sky and pans around the building before popping through a window in the roof.

37 years after the show first aired, Fraggle Rock fans can actually stay in the lighthouse itself through- in St Mawes, Cornwall.

Sally Port Cottage is a one-storey holiday home at St Anthony's Lighthouse in St Mawes, which can sleep up to four people.

The completely modernised property is reached by taking a 300-metre path from the cliffs above and it enjoys views across the ocean.

As well as two bedrooms, there is a country-style kitchen, a sitting room with an electric wood burner and an observatory room where holidaymakers can soak up the view through a large picture window.

For those who want to do some sightseeing, there is the nearby St Mawes with Cornwall's oldest bakery serving Cornish pasties, as well as plenty of walks on the Roseland Peninsula and the The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

The price for a seven-night stay stay costs from £928, which works out at £33 per person a night.

 The rooms are light and airy, with blue and white interior and decor

A hamper of provisions is also included in the price that features scones, jam and clotted cream.

One of the reviews on the website for the property raved: "It was amazing. It was a childhood dream come true to be in Fraggle Rock.

"The facilities were first rate and the lighthouse was amazing. A brilliant start to our honeymoon."
