About this property
This comfortable cottage is situated on the Pendeen Lighthouse site, on a majestic granite headland. It provides a hall, double bedroom with limited sea views, single bedroom, sitting room with sea views, kitchen, dining room and bathroom.
In association with Trinity House, we are proud to present Argus Cottage at Pendeen Lighthouse.
Argus is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse and has a dramatic location on a granite headland on the North Cornwall Coast within a Site of Special Scientific Interest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The South West Coast path passes round the headland, passing through part of Cornwall's oldest mining areas. The lighthouse lies six miles north of Land's End and two miles from St Just. The lighthouse was established in 1900, electrified in 1926 and automated in 1994.
You may be lucky enough to spot seals on the rocks below the lighthouse headland, as well as a variety of seabirds. With banks of seasonal pink thrift and golden gorse, the headland is a perfect location to watch the sun setting over the Atlantic.
Also on this site is Solebay Cottage, sleeping four guests.

Travel cot and highchair available on request.

Wonderful spectacular scenic position situated on the SW coastal path and easy walking distance of short walks to both a lovely secluded beach and fascinating mining heritage areas. Forms an excellent base for exploring the Penwith peninsular. The cottage is well equipped, well maintained, and clean clean, and has comfortable accommodation.
