Wolf Rock at Lizard Lighthouse The Lizard, near Helston, Cornwall

In association with Trinity House, we are pleased to present Wolf Rock at Lizard Lighthouse. Located on the southern-most tip of mainland Britain, the six adjacent cottages of Lizard Lighthouse 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.

With its fabulous circular observation tower, Wolf Rock is a two-storey former lighthouse keepers' cottage with a spacious kitchen and dining area with plenty of modern units and fully equipped for preparing memorable holiday meals. The comfy sitting room has an inviting leather corner sofa and armchair surrounding the fireplace with an electric flame effect fire. The contemporary family bathroom is also located on the ground floor, with a bath and overhead rainfall shower. A ground floor twin bedroom enjoys its own en-suite shower room. Wolf Rock is the only cottage at Lizard Lighthouse with access to the unused West Tower. On the ground floor level, a second dining area is ideal for a more formal or celebratory meal, guests can climb the 32 stone spiral steps to the circular observation room with seating and an electric 'wood burning stove' effect fire for enjoying a stormy night and making the most of the magnificent sea views.

Upstairs two further bedrooms include a king-size and a twin room, ideal for families. Outside, the property enjoys its own enclosed courtyard and allocated parking.

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.
