Lovely location, well furnished and equipped and immaculately clean. Diana was very welcoming and helpful. A good quality radio and some salad servers in the kitchen would be handy
Lovely location. Very peaceful. House in excellent condition in terms of decor and cleanliness. The only negative point is the ridiculously large table (would easily seat 6) crammed into the kitchen and blocking access to some cupboards.
We have stayed here over 20 times during the past 14 years. Sadly I don't know whether we will be returning. The lack of WiFi is a real game changer for us especially as the phone signal is so poor down at the Lighthouse. We already pay a premium for staying as such a unique location and now with prices rising all the time, I am disappointed in Trinity House by withdrawing the WiFi from the Cottage. The Cottage itself is beautiful and kept in a great condition by your hardworking housekeeper Di. Come on Trinity House - think of your customers and restore WiFi to this beautiful property.
Very nice place with wild coast.
Having stayed here over 20 times in the past ten years, it is always a pleasure to return with the same high standards appararent on each visit. The housekeeper Diana keeps the cottage so wonderfully clean. We cannot wait to return again.
Excellent location. Accommodation was very clean and spacious. Furnishings and beds very comfortable, giving all items for modern living. Access is good, and affords amazing views. Highly recommended. Will definitely stay here again.
A unique property in a breathtaking location! With seals bobbing in the ocean below, excellent views over to the old tin mines at Geevor and Botallack, and a beautiful sandy beach with nice surf just a 10 minute walk, this was an amazing place to stay. Beyond that, for those with an interest in maritime history (like me) being up close and personal with an active lighthouse is a very unique experience. On misty nights, it's like having your own slightly eerie - and predictable - laser light show (however, I was very glad that the old foghorn was thoroughly decomissioned, although the dispersion horns are still present on top of the foghorn building, and if you look carefully through the windows, the old machinery is still present). Diana, the housekeeper, was very discreet - never got in our way at all, other than to inform us upon arrival that there was a slight issue with the shower but a fix was coming (this was fixed while we were out one day, with our permission). The property is extremely clean and beautifully presented, with all of the facilities you would expect. You really don't need to bring any domestic supplies, as everything necessary is present.
Alles hat unsere Erwartungen ĂĽbertroffen.
Fabulous place to stay. I could never tire of the view across the sea, and the stars at night are amazing
"Cottage" does not do justice to it. It felt more like a house with lots of space. In a great location overlooking the sea. A really memorable place to stay.
Fantastic location, privacy from public, spotlessly clean, everything good quality and comfortable, including bed, shower wonderfully powerful. Nautical books a thoughtful extra.
Beautiful location. Everything was spotless and whole place was comfortable and relaxing Will come again
Lovely cottage, stunning location.
Have stayed there 4 times in the last 2 years and find it an idyllic place to enjoy some peace and quiet. Set behind gates in its own private environment the rest of the world passes you by. Superbly presented it has all you need for a holiday along with the most stunning views imagineable. Cannot recommend highly enough
A wonderful cottage in an awesome location. The cottage was beautifully presented & the whole booking /arrival process was very smooth.
Secluded, comfortable, beautiful views, nicely presented and ideal for a quiet retreat.
We were very pleasantly surprised and delighted to find the cottage was so well equipped and nicely decorated. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch as were the quality toiletries. We felt however that the cottage could do with some window coverings such as blinds in the kitchen and bathroom as the windows are obviously old and draughty. It's not very welcoming to use the nice bath at night looking at cold, uncovered glass.
Fabulous location; atmospheric and excellent cliff and rural walks on the doorstep. St Ives just a short drive away. Comfortable, warm and well equipped. Friendly help and advice from Diana throughout.
Stunning location, lovely cottage and high standard of cleanliness.
We are frequent returners to Solebay Cottage which speaks for itself. The whole experience of staying there is so relaxing. The housekeeper Diane is a great asset to staying here.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
