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). 'Godrevy' is a three bedroom, two bath/shower room property sleeping six people. With excellent sea views from both the ground floor living room and kitchen, as well as the upstairs bedrooms.
An enclosed courtyard leads to the entrance hallway with original slate floor and plenty of room for coats and boots etc. There is a ground floor twin room with en suite.

Four of us stayed here in June 2009 and we wanted to report how great Godrevy is. Clean, tidy and absolutely everything provided that could be required for a great holiday in an amazing location with wonderful sea views. Most certainly somewhere we'd come back to.
