Great place to stay (outstanding views) except for 2 problems: 1.) No wifi, come on this is 2024 everyone needs wifi even on holiday, it's practically a necessity. Fortunately, a member of our party had an internet connection which they shared via a hot spot, thank goodness especially when we had to rebook flights due to Hurricane Milton. 2.) The dryer did not work so we had to travel to Penzance to wash & dry our clothes which took up half of our day.

We have stayed here over 20 times during the past 14 years. Sadly I don't know whether we will be returning. The lack of WiFi is a real game changer for us especially as the phone signal is so poor down at the Lighthouse. We already pay a premium for staying as such a unique location and now with prices rising all the time, I am disappointed in Trinity House by withdrawing the WiFi from the Cottage. The Cottage itself is beautiful and kept in a great condition by your hardworking housekeeper Di. Come on Trinity House - think of your customers and restore WiFi to this beautiful property.

A unique property in a breathtaking location! With seals bobbing in the ocean below, excellent views over to the old tin mines at Geevor and Botallack, and a beautiful sandy beach with nice surf just a 10 minute walk, this was an amazing place to stay. Beyond that, for those with an interest in maritime history (like me) being up close and personal with an active lighthouse is a very unique experience. On misty nights, it's like having your own slightly eerie - and predictable - laser light show (however, I was very glad that the old foghorn was thoroughly decomissioned, although the dispersion horns are still present on top of the foghorn building, and if you look carefully through the windows, the old machinery is still present). Diana, the housekeeper, was very discreet - never got in our way at all, other than to inform us upon arrival that there was a slight issue with the shower but a fix was coming (this was fixed while we were out one day, with our permission). The property is extremely clean and beautifully presented, with all of the facilities you would expect. You really don't need to bring any domestic supplies, as everything necessary is present.

We were very pleasantly surprised and delighted to find the cottage was so well equipped and nicely decorated. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch as were the quality toiletries. We felt however that the cottage could do with some window coverings such as blinds in the kitchen and bathroom as the windows are obviously old and draughty. It's not very welcoming to use the nice bath at night looking at cold, uncovered glass.
