Pelorus Cottage details

In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Pelorus Cottage at Trevose Head Lighthouse.

Pelorus (with accommodation for four guests) 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. Fine views out to sea 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 round the headland and on towards Padstow.

The picturesque fishing village of Padstow and its harbour is also home of chef Rick Stein's seafood restaurant ( book well ahead if you wish to secure a table), bistro and cafe. Harlyn Bay (on the road to Padstow in the lee of Trevose Head) offers surfing and a sheltered family beach with a wide crescent of yellow sand and rock pools, with safe swimming (lifeguard on duty in summer months).The Eden Project is a 30-minute drive away.

Access roads to some of the lighthouse sites 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.

Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
