Solebay Cottage

Penzance, Cornwall

Solebay Cottage at Pendeen Lighthouse, located in Penzance, Cornwall, is a holiday rental property managed in association with Trinity House. Situated on a granite headland along the North Cornwall Coast, the cottage offers a stunning backdrop within a Site of Special Scientific Interest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The South West Coast path passes through the area, showcasing Cornwall's oldest mining sites. The lighthouse itself, established in 1900, was electrified in 1926 and automated in 1994.

Guests staying at Solebay Cottage may have the opportunity to observe seals and various seabirds from the headland, surrounded by pink thrift and golden gorse. The location is ideal for watching the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to Solebay Cottage, Argus Cottage, which accommodates three guests, is also available for rental on the site. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small additional charge, but there is no WiFi service at the lighthouse and no fog signal.

Visitors should be aware of the limited mobile signal on the premises and the potential for maintenance staff to visit for regular or emergency upkeep. As a heritage building, the lighthouse may have features that differ from modern structures, such as uneven steps and stairs. Access roads to the site are narrow with limited passing places, and guests are advised to exercise caution and supervise children near the cliff edge. While a barbecue is not provided, guests can bring their own, following safety guidelines outlined in the arrival information. Fireworks, drones, and remote-controlled flying equipment are not permitted on the premises.
