Brook Cottage is a comfortable holiday rental located in Padstow, Cornwall, within the picturesque South West of England. This cottage is one of four available at a historic lighthouse, which sits on a scenic headland between the sandy beaches of Harlyn and Constantine Bays, approximately four miles west of Padstow. The lighthouse itself, constructed in 1847, underwent electrification in 1973 and was automated in 1995. While the lighthouse is not open to the public, the cottages provide a unique opportunity to stay in this remarkable setting, offering stunning sea views and a tranquil atmosphere.
The cottages are semi-detached, with Brook Cottage situated alongside the lighthouse, providing guests with access to breathtaking vistas of the sea and the surrounding landscape. The property is elevated at 75 feet above sea level and is reached via a private one-mile road, ensuring a secluded and peaceful getaway. The communal tarmac forecourt at the front of the cottages offers parking, while the rear features a shared walled grass area that overlooks the sea, although it is advised that guests refrain from using this space for safety reasons due to its proximity to the cliff edge.
Brook Cottage accommodates up to four guests and is pet-friendly, making it an ideal choice for families or those traveling with pets. Both bedrooms in the cottage offer lovely sea views, enhancing the overall experience of relaxation and connection with nature. Guests can enjoy watching fishing boats navigate in and out of Padstow, adding to the charm of their stay. The South West Coast Path runs along the headland, providing opportunities for scenic walks and exploration of the stunning coastline.
In addition to Brook Cottage, the site features three other cottages: Verity Cottage, Pelorus Cottage, and Nimbus Cottage, each also accommodating four guests. This collection of cottages offers a perfect retreat for groups or families looking to enjoy the beauty of Cornwall while benefiting from the comforts of home. The combination of historical significance, natural beauty, and modern amenities makes Brook Cottage and its neighboring cottages an attractive option for holidaymakers seeking a memorable experience in this enchanting region.
