Lizard Lighthouse is positioned at the Southern-most tip of mainland Britain and the six newly refurbished adjacent cottages enjoy unrivalled access to breathtaking scenery and coastal walking, literally from the front door. Rare birds, rare flowers and even the occasional school of dolphins can be spotted from the cliff tops surrounding the accommodation, yet you are just a ¼ mile from Lizard village with its friendly pub, shops and restaurants.
The working lighthouse was established in 1619, with the current towers being built in 1752. In 1924 it became the first electrically powered lighthouse before being fully automated in 1998 with a 26 mile light range and an automatic 3 mile fog signal if conditions are misty.
The on-site visitor centre provides tours of the working lighthouse and an opportunity to learn about the work of Trinity House (the number of visitors will not normally affect your privacy).
'Round Island' is the largest of the Lighthouse Cottages having four bedrooms and three toilets/bathrooms (one en suite). With a large enclosed yard and a spacious breakfast kitchen as well as a bespoke dining room, it is the perfect location for an extended or larger family.

2008 Availability & Pricing Hover Over Changeover Days To Show Week Pricing
We had a wonderful week in this cottage last May half-term! Plenty of room for our two families (4 adults & 4 children). A very warm & comfortable house, and everything provided that we needed. The youngest child had prayed for fog as he wanted the foghorn to go off, which it did most nights! We shall certainly be back to Lizard Point.
