In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats presents Lizard Lighthouse.

In association with Trinity House, we are pleased to present Lizard Lighthouse. Located on the southern-most tip of mainland Britain, Godrevy is the smallest of the six adjacent cottages of Lizard Lighthouse and present guests with dazzling scenery and coastal walks right from the doorstep. Rare and beautiful flora and fauna make this cliff top location particularly special.

This charming single-storey, dog friendly property provides exceptionally generous accommodation with a stylish and fully equipped kitchen including the dining area with a sea view. A cosy sitting room has ample comfy seating for two to stretch out on a sofa each, and more views out to sea. The welcoming bedroom provides a king-size bed and modern en-suite shower room, with an additional bathroom too!

Outside, relax or dine al-fresco in the enclosed courtyard garden with picnic table.

Lizard Lighthouse is a fully working lighthouse, first established in 1619. The distinctive two white towers that it is known for today were built in 1751 by private entrepreneur Thomas Fonnereau, and first lit on 22 August of that year. Trinity House gained control of the lights in 1771 and continues to look after its operation to this day. It became electrified in 1924 and then fully automated in 1998. It has a 26 mile light range and an automatic 3 mile fog signal if conditions are misty.

The nearby Lizard Village provides shops, restaurants and a friendly pub only ¼ mile away. There are an abundance of other small seaside towns and beaches to explore including St Michael's Mount, St. Ives, Mousehold, Newlyn, Penzance and The Helford River.
