Brook Cottage (Cornwall)

Brook Cottage is one of four holiday cottages at Trevose Head Lighthouse, sitting 75 feet above the sea on the headland between Harlyn Bay and Constantine Bay. Access is via a mile-long private road - the setting is remote by design. The cottage sleeps four in two bedrooms with one bathroom, all on the ground floor: one room has a 5ft king-size bed and the other has twin 3ft single beds.

The property is dog-friendly, with two well-behaved dogs welcome, and both bedrooms have sea views. Wifi and parking are included. The lighthouse still operates as a working aid to navigation, managed by Trinity House. Mother Ivey's Bay, a quiet and sheltered cove, is 0.9 miles away. Constantine Bay, known for its surf and rock pools, is 1.1 miles.

The South West Coast Path runs directly around the headland and continues northeast towards Padstow - about 5 miles by the path. Padstow has the harbour, Rick Stein's restaurants, and the ferry across the Camel Estuary to Rock. Harlyn Bay (1.6 miles) is a sheltered sandy beach with lifeguards in season.

Best for couples or families who want genuine coastal seclusion and don't mind the lack of walkable amenities. Less suited to anyone who needs shops, restaurants, or evening entertainment within easy reach - Padstow is a 15-minute drive.
