Brook Cottage (Cornwall)

Padstow, Cornwall

Brook Cottage at Trevose Head Lighthouse, located in Padstow, Cornwall, is one of four holiday cottages associated with Trinity House. Situated on a headland between Harlyn and Constantine Bays, the lighthouse was built in 1847, electrified in 1973, and automated in 1995. The cottages are not open to the public and are accessed via a private road, offering stunning views of the sea and fishing boats in Padstow.

The semi-detached cottages are positioned beneath the lighthouse, with a communal parking area at the front and a shared grassy space at the rear overlooking the sea. The South West Coast Path runs nearby, providing easy access to Padstow. Brook Cottage features sea views from both bedrooms, and is one of four cottages on the site, including Verity Cottage, Pelorus Cottage, and Nimbus Cottage, each accommodating four guests.

Guests at Brook Cottage can bring two well-behaved dogs for an additional charge, and can request travel cots and highchairs. However, the lighthouse does not have a fog signal, and guests should be aware of narrow access roads with limited passing places. Due to the heritage nature of the building, certain features may not comply with modern standards, so caution is advised. Maintenance staff may visit the site at any time for necessary repairs, and guests are reminded to respect the surroundings by not using fireworks or drones.

While WiFi service at the cottages may be intermittent, guests can enjoy light browsing and occasional use. Streaming and gaming may not be possible due to the remote location. Guests are welcome to bring their own barbecue, but must adhere to safety precautions. Overall, Brook Cottage at Trevose Head Lighthouse offers a unique and historic accommodation experience with breathtaking sea views and easy access to the surrounding area.
