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.
Please note:
Access roads to the lighthouse site are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.

This was a fabulous location, peaceful with the ever changing sea and skies on your doorstep. Amazing sunrise and sunsets. Accommodation generous( for two) though the shower room was a little smaller than expected. We spent a very comfortable six night here.
