Great location and some where very different to stay.
Wolf Rock Cottage is steeped in history. and you can't help but wonder who has walked along the huge stone flags in the hallway or climbed the stairs to the lookout tower. Its location at the Lizard Lighthouse provides stunning sea views and, of course, the beauty of the lighthouse at night - and the foghorn, which off a few times. The cottage itself is very well equipped- tt's perhaps not luxurious but it certainly has everything you could need, the beds are very comfortable and the property was lovely and warm. A radio in the kitchen or sitting room would be nice but it is available via the TV. The lookout tower is really what makes this property. Aside from a little fog (more of that later) we had superb weather so didn't get to storm watch from the tower. Our only criticism would be that the seating in the tower isn't very comfortable and not conducive to sitting up there for any length of time. Another comfy chair or two would help people make the most of it. Some things have been removed due to covid precautions (cling film etc) so perhaps the website/arrival info could be updated to advise of this. There are areas of paintwork that are flaking off and could do wiht a repaint and neither of the fans worked in the bathroom, which will cause issues in time - the property just seems a little unloved in areas and it's a wonderful place. On to the foghorn - It's not like the foghorn sound of my childhood (a deep tuba-esq note) but more of a mid tone, which took a while for us to fathom out what it was at first, thinking it was a low oil warning or carbon monoxide sensor! It was only on opening the front door that we realised it was the foghorn. We managed to sleep through it and the earplugs worked and you do get used to it. This is a working lighthouse so do not stay here if you can't cope with the foghorn! All in all a superb cottage and we would love to return- and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
If you get the chance to visit during the winter months do so. Very tidy and spacious
Location brilliant. Felt supported with contact easy with housekeeper and Rural Retreats. Loved the hamper. Issues with decor peeling ?damp. No bathroom upstairs but realise you can't change that. TV too small. But having said that unique experience.
Really enjoyed it - Good all round facilities and great to have the viewing tower included in the cottage we stayed in. Short walk to village with shops and pubs etc, fabulous coastal walks, beautiful scenery
Wolf Rock is a beautifully outfitted cottage that allowed us to explore the south of Cornwall. The situation of the tower and the rooms is really breathtaking and the not-often fog horn just added to the beauty of the stay. We enjoyed exploring Lizard Point and the village, as well as short drives to Lands End, Falmouth and Charlestown. The welcome basket was delightful and communication was easy throughout our booking and stay. If you are visiting Cornwall, make sure Wolf Rock is in your plans.
fantastic, very clean and warm the hamper was full of treats and the property was great fun perfect for a family get away. I would recommend this to anyone
The property was of the highest standard. Very well equipped. The quality of the beds, bed linen and furniture was the very best. It was spacious and the watch tower somewhere to go for some piece and quiet. The property was spotless and the welcome hamper very good. The location is spectacular and if you like nature and a wild coastline this is the place to go.
Great place to go lots to see and do.
Firstly you need to remember that this is a working lighthouse. It is rather damp and the fog horn will go off in the night! The location is superb and the accommodation atmospheric and fantastic. The tower has the most amazing views and we often ate at its base. The one major downside is the lack if WiFi and 4 G signal. Do be aware of this as our teenagers used major data from hotspots. Spent our time walking and in the sea. Housel bay is 5 mins walk and it's quiet. Seals everywhere. Incredible.
Amazing setting, full of character. Some of the fittings a bit dated now, but very comfortable, clean and great welcome hamper. Highly recommend.
Brilliant property, lovely and clean, well appointed though a few minor niggles around housekeeping. Resolved amicably enough though.
Would have been 5 but some people might need an iron & ironing board if they were staying several days. Lovely location & nice & clean really nice 4 day stay. Lovely welcome hamper.
Thank you for leaving your feedback. We are delighted that you had a lovely stay and have passed your comments on to the housekeeper. The iron and board are actually in the cupboard on the left as you enter the property.
Wunderbar eingerichtete sehr grosse Wohnung, mit perfekter Lage, oberhalb der Meeresklippen. Der ehemalige Leuchtturm ist Bestandteil der Wohnung, was das ganze noch viel eindrücklicher macht.
Vielen Dank für Ihre schöne Bewertung. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie Ihren Aufenthalt in unserem Leuchtturm-Anwesen genossen haben.
A fantastic house to stay in and the tower was fantastic. Our whole family enjoyed it. Fantastic location with walking from the house. The house was clean and warm and the hamper was lovely. Can't wait to revisit.
Fantastic location but lack of personal outdoor space was disappointing. The tower in our cottage was a bit disappointing as you had to stand to see the view and the binoculars supplied were broken. Luckily we managed to fix them! On the whole the cottage was well decorated and clean.
Expect totally utilitarian. This is a building built for purpose. Reminded me of my Edwardian school as a child with its corridors and classrooms. However the cottage is perfectly equipped with everything you will need and a fabulous breakfast food selection. The tower is an unusual feature, but you carnt get on the roof,which is such a shame as the views are amazing. We didn't get the fog horn ,but as a working lighthouse watching the lights sweep over the sea at night was so cool. Amazingly the windows are positioned so the light doesn't shine in! Such an unusual place to stay, views of seals and birds from practicality every window, and a nice village in walking distance. There were a few downsides however. The master bedroom with the best view is up a long staircase, while the nearest bathroom is downstairs and along a long corridor. Not for those with weak bladders, or wobbly legs. There is a small twin room between the 2 bath room's, but it looks at the car park not the sea. Also when we were there, one of the bathrooms had such bad smelly drains we had to keep the plugs in and the door shut! The bathrooms could also do with more shelf space to put things on. Note also we thought we'd look around the heritage centre after checking out at 10am, but it doesn't open till 11 in the morning. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and Kynance beach nearby was the most beautiful beach I've ever visited despite the crowds.The lighthouse is such an iconic building on a rugged clifftop at the most southerly point on the mainland. Definitely out of the ordinary.
The lighthouse was so fun and unique. Views are gorgeous! Our family spent 3 weeks in the UK and everyone agreed that the Lizard was OUR favorite!
Lovely cottage, great views and generally well presented. Having the tower is an experience: you can dine at its base and relax on the floor above. The twin ensuite doesn't have the fine views of the two upstairs bedrooms, so its lay out and decoration is perhaps even more important. Unfortunately these aspects seem to have been overlooked making it the least attractive room in the cottage but it is still comfortable. Spotless, which makes the provision of just one tea towel and one kitchen hand towel for the week a little odd. Either use the washing machine (not very eco friendly for 2 items or bring extras
