About this property

Verity Cottage at Trevose Head Lighthouse Padstow, Cornwall

  • In association with Trinity House, we are pleased to present Verity Cottage at Trevose Head Lighthouse.

    Verity 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 75' above the sea, accessed via a one-mile-long private road. Fine views out to sea and the chance to watch the 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.

    Also on this site is Brook Cottage, sleeping four guests, Pelorus Cottage, sleeping four guests and Nimbus Cottage, sleeping four guests.

    Additional Information:
    Two travel cots and highchairs are available on request (shared between the four cottages).
    The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.?
    Sorry, no pets.
    Please note:
    Very limited mobile signal.
    There is currently no WiFi available at this property.
    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.
    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.
    Please note that although the accommodation is on the ground floor, there are internal steps and level changes within the property.
    A barbecue is not provided, however guests are welcome to bring their own, subject to adhering to the safety precautions set out in the arrival information.
    Sorry, no fireworks, drones or remote controlled flying equipment are permitted.
    Please be advised, there is no facility for charging an electric car at this property and charging of an electric car is not permitted.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy

Great views, clean, NO Internet

PROS: Great location and views. Very clean. Washing machine is a nice addition. Generous supplies to get started. CONS: 1) There is NO Internet access. There is a router and it has Wi-Fi, but the service doesn't work. Hosts provide instructions to reboot it and state in the house rules that lack of Internet is not an "emergency", so clearly they know it is an issue. It is a remote location, so probably not their fault, but there are ways to resolve this. You also get no cellular coverage. No one visits Cornwall to surf the web, but in a new place, you expect to be able to look things up. Maps, restaurants, etc. 2) Appliances could use some simple instructions. Hard to look up how to use the combo washer/dryer or what the icons on the oven mean with no Internet access. 3) A powered gate would be nice. OVERALL: It was a unique experience and I recommend it. Just be prepared and understand what you are getting into.
