About this property

Argus Cottage, Pendeen, Penzance , Cornwall

In association with Trinity House, we are proud to present Argus Cottage at Pendeen Lighthouse.

Argus is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse and has a dramatic location on a granite headland on the North Cornwall Coast within a Site of Special Scientific Interest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The South West Coast path passes round the headland, passing through part of Cornwall's oldest mining areas. The lighthouse lies six miles north of Land's End and two miles from St Just. The lighthouse was established in 1900, electrified in 1926 and automated in 1994.

You may be lucky enough to spot seals on the rocks below the lighthouse headland, as well as a variety of seabirds. With banks of seasonal pink thrift and golden gorse, the headland is a perfect location to watch the sun setting over the Atlantic.

Also on this site is Solebay Cottage, sleeping four guests.

Additional Information:
Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome (small additional charge).
Travel cot and highchair available on request.
The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.
There is no WiFi service at Pendeen Lighthouse site.
Very limited mobile signal.
Access roads to the lighthouse site are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.
Guests are reminded they are renting a heritage building, therefore certain features such as steps, stairs and floor levels may not comply with that of a modern building. As such, we would advise guests to acquaint themselves with the premises on arrival and exercise caution accordingly.
Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
A barbecue is not provided, however guests are welcome to bring their own, subject to adhering to the safety precautions set out in the arrival information.
Sorry, no fireworks, drones or remote controlled flying equipment are permitted.
Whilst the cliff edge is protected by a 4' high wall, due to the location of the light house, please ensure that children are supervised at all times.
Sorry, charging of an electric car is not permitted.

Freundlichkeit, Hilfsbereitschaft und Landschaft einfach Top. Die Gastgeber bzw. Verwalter super.

Als wir in der Dunkelheit die Zufahrt zum Leuchtturm verpassten, hat das Verwalterpaar uns gesucht, gefunden und zum Cottage geleitet. Dort haben wir die geschmackvoll eingerichteten Zimmer und den nach unseren Wünschen gefüllten Begrüßungskorb bewundert. Es war alles vorhanden, was benötigt wird, um den Aufenthalt zu genießen. Wir kommen wieder. Sind absolut begeistert nach Hause gefahren.
