Pelorus is a welcoming holiday cottage located in Padstow, Cornwall, part of a collection of four cottages situated at a historic lighthouse on a scenic headland between Harlyn and Constantine Bays. This picturesque location is approximately four miles west of Padstow and offers stunning views of the sea, making it an ideal getaway for those looking to relax and enjoy nature. The lighthouse itself, built in 1847, has undergone several modernizations, including electrification in 1973 and automation in 1995, although it remains closed to the public.
The cottages, including Pelorus, are semi-detached and are positioned beneath a protective headland, standing 75 feet above the sea. Guests can access the property via a private one-mile-long road, ensuring a sense of seclusion and tranquility. The communal area at the front features a tarmac forecourt for parking, while the rear offers a shared grassy space with a wall along the cliff edge, although guests are advised against using this area for safety reasons.
Pelorus accommodates up to four guests and is pet-friendly, making it a perfect choice for families or groups traveling with pets. The site also includes additional cottages: Brook Cottage, Verity Cottage, and Nimbus Cottage, each with the same capacity, allowing for larger groups or families to stay nearby. This setup is particularly appealing for those looking to enjoy a shared holiday experience while still having their own private space.
The South West Coast Path runs around the headland, providing opportunities for scenic walks and exploration, leading towards Padstow. This area is renowned for its natural beauty and offers numerous activities, including fishing and enjoying the nearby sandy beaches. Pelorus and its neighboring cottages present a unique opportunity to experience the charm of Cornwall's coastline while enjoying the comfort of a well-equipped holiday home.
