About this property
Presented in association with Trinity House, Trevose Head Lighthouse lies on a headland between sandy beaches, four miles west of Padstow. Brook Cottage is one of four delightful cottages on this private site, sheltered beneath the headland.
In association with Trinity House, we are proud to present Brook Cottage at Trevose Head Lighthouse.
Brook Cottage is one of four holiday cottages available at the lighthouse which is located on a headland between the sandy beaches of Harlyn and Constantine Bays, four miles west of Padstow. The Lighthouse was built in 1847, electrified in 1973 and automated in 1995. The site is not open to the public and the four cottages are sheltered beneath a headland and are 75' above the sea, accessed via a one-mile-long private road. There are fine views out to sea from the site and the chance to watch fishing boats coming in and out of Padstow.
The cottages are semi-detached, with the lighthouse positioned in the middle. At the front, there is a communal tarmac forecourt with parking. To the rear, on the sea side, there is a shared walled grass area which is fenced at the cliff edge. (In the interest of safety, it is recommended that guests do not use this space). The South West Coast Path runs around the headland and on towards Padstow. Both bedrooms at Brook Cottage enjoy sea views.
Also on this site are Verity Cottage, sleeping four guests, Pelorus Cottage, sleeping four guests and Nimbus Cottage, sleeping four guests.
Additional Information:
Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.
Two travel cots and highchairs are available on request (shared between the four cottages).
Sea views from the bedrooms only.
Limited mobile signal. A landline telephone is provided.

The cottage is in a spectacular location. It is well equipped and maintained. It was very cold for June when we were there and we required the heating to make it cosy but the place soon warmed up. We did a lot of walking only moving the car to go to Padstow. There are beautiful sandy beaches in the area and all walks were accompanied by birdsong. It was too cold for us to sit out so we missed the chance to relax in the garden and look out to sea. However, the inclement weather didn't detract from a lovely stay.

Because myself and my husband fell very ill at the last minute and was not well enough to travel, I did ask if the dates could be moved forward and they were not very accommodating so we lost out on our holiday altogether so when you book be aware you will lose out on your holiday if you need to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances
