Lighthouse description

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 on the doorstep. Rare and beautiful flora and fauna make this cliff top location particularly special. The nearby Lizard Village provides shops, restaurants and a friendly pub only a short mile distance away.

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.

Notes / rules:

  • Please be aware, this site is open to the public for lighthouse tours.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Sorry, no barbecues, fireworks, drones or remote controlled flying equipment permitted.
  • Due to its location and surroundings, please ensure that children are supervised at all times whilst at this property.
  • Sorry, charging of electric cars is not permitted.

    Beautifully clean and warm

    Beautifully clean and warm and such a privilege to have stayed at Round island, one of the Lighthouse cottages. All six cottages were unique in their own way and beautifully managed. Visit the lighthouse before the lantern, as it is now, is replaced.
