In association with Trinity House, Cornwall Hideaways are pleased to present Lizard Lighthouse. Located on the Southern-most tip of mainland Britain, the six adjacent cottages of Lizard Lighthouse present guests with dazzling scenery and coastal walks right on the doorstep. Rare and beautiful flora and fauna make this cliff top location particularly special. The nearby Lizard Village provides shops, restaurants and a friendly pub only a short ¼ mile distance away.
Lizard Lighthouse is a fully working lighthouse, first established in 1619. The distinctive two white towers that it is known for today were built in 1751 by private entrepreneur Thomas Fonnereau, and first lit on 22 August of that year. Trinity House gained control of the lights in 1771 and continues to look after its operation to this day. It became electrified in 1924 and then fully automated in 1998. It has a 26 mile light range and an automatic 3 mile fog signal if conditions are misty.
Also available to book at this site are: Bishop Rock, Godrevy, Longships, Round Island and Wolf Rock.

An amazing cottage with a beautiful view and lots of rabbits. A perfect destination to spend the summer holidays and an interesting one in the winter. There are great beaches for body boarding and a nice walk along the cliffs to Kynance Cove. The weather was ok and we quite enjoyed listening to the fog horn after a while. The welcome hamper was well stocked and Mum went through the shortbread very quickly. We enjoyed playing scrabble to prepare for the eleven plus in September and the amount of things to do in the cottage was good for rainy days. Thanks for the great destination and history to be discovered here and it is possible we will be back again (fingers crossed) P E aged 10

Lovely views. Very clean and organised cottage. It has everything you could ever need. We enjoyed eating out at the The Witchball and eating in. Have walked the coastal path in both directions. Breakfast at the Polpeor Cafe is lovely too. Foghorn went off once and the weather has been very good, quite windy. Thank you, we will be back!
