Located near Helston, Cornwall in the South West of England, Lizard Lighthouse offers accommodation for up to four guests in six adjacent cottages. Situated on the Southern-most tip of mainland Britain, guests can enjoy stunning coastal walks and breathtaking scenery right at their doorstep. The nearby Lizard Village provides convenient amenities such as shops, restaurants, and a friendly pub just a short distance away.

Originally established in 1619, Lizard Lighthouse features two distinctive white towers that were built in 1751 by Thomas Fonnereau. Controlled by Trinity House since 1771, the lighthouse was electrified in 1924 and fully automated in 1998. With a 26 mile light range and an automatic 3 mile fog signal for misty conditions, the lighthouse continues to operate to this day.

Guests should be aware that the property is a fully operational lighthouse with occasional maintenance visits throughout the year. Due to its heritage status, certain features such as steps and stairs may not comply with modern building standards, requiring guests to exercise caution. Limited WiFi and mobile signal are available, and guests are reminded to supervise children at all times due to the location and surroundings of the property.

Additional amenities include two well-behaved dogs welcome for a small additional charge, a travel cot and highchair available on request, and an electric fire in the sitting room that is currently unavailable. Guests can bring their own barbecue, but fireworks, drones, and remote controlled flying equipment are not permitted. Ear plugs are provided for the automatic fog signal, and guests are advised to familiarize themselves with the property upon arrival for their safety and comfort.
