In association with Trinity House, we 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.

Additional Information:

This is an operational lighthouse with an automatic, electric fog signal. During occasional periods of fog and mist, ear plugs are provided for your comfort.

Babies under 10 months of age are welcome, however, for safety reason, children must be over 5 years old.

Sorry, no pets.

A travel cot and highchair available on request.

Please note, WiFi is not available at this property and there is very limited mobile signal. A telephone with honesty box is provided.

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.

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.

Guests are reminded they are renting a heritage building, therefore certain features such as steps, stairs and floor levels may not comply with that of a modern building. As such, we would advise guests to acquaint themselves with the premises on arrival and exercise caution accordingly.

Sorry, no barbecues, fireworks, drones or remote controlled flying equipment permitted.

Due to its location and surroundings, please ensure that children are supervised at all times whilst at this property.

    We really enjoyed our stay at WOLF rock. It was a 60th birthday treat for my wife. She could not stop saying how much she was enjoying it. The weather was perfect and we were able to tour round cornwall. The accommodqtion was perfect, always warm and never cold. We would have liked to have access to the lighthouse but understood this was not possible.

    Excellent stay again. Nice new bedroom furniture and freshly painted walls. Slight problem with the heating beyond anybody’s control but addressed quickly by housekeeper and rural retreats. Thoroughly recommend staying here.
