Wolf Rock

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.

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.

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.

This was our 4th holiday at Wolf Rock, our first with Rural Retreats. We had a wonderful holiday but unfortunately standards seem to have slipped in the cottage. When we arrived the first thing I had to do was to clean the dead flies off the window frame in one of the bedrooms . I then cleaned the mirror in the lounge and the TV screen, I think they'd been wiped with the same dirty cloth. There was dirty cutlery and cooking utensils in the drawer and dirty crockery and mugs in the cupboard. During our 2 week holiday we were not offered any clean bed linen. We were bought clean towels on day 10 of our holiday - and had to wash some of them before we could use them. The welcome hamper of local produce was lovely. I'm not sure what I could have done with 2 lemons. Salt and pepper would have been more useful. Of course we could have tried to contact the housekeeper during our stay but we were on holiday and I did not want to waste my holiday time or have any conflict whilst I was away. The written information asks you to respect the housekeeper and not to contact her in the evening unless there is an emergency - none of these issues were an emergency. Several of the windows were in a poor state of repair. Our experience would not stop us staying on the Lizard again, it is a very beautiful part of the world.

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

Excellent location. Newly decorated and refurbished. Excellent housekeeper.

The cottage and tower are wonderful. i have now stayed in every light-house Rural Retreats/Trinity have on their books with the exception of Kent where I live. House keeper was also responsive.

Lovely location and quirky cottage being an old lighthouse. There was even a welcome hamper on our arrival.

Excellent location, clean and well kept with lovely surroundings

Really lovely cottage and the West Tower was a real treat. We had a very atmospheric Christmas dinner with the wind booming around the tower and the floor vibrating below us. Makes you appreciate why lighthouses are there in the first place! The only disappointment during our stay was the kitchen, which was poorly equipped. There were only 4 teaspoons and it lacked utensils like kitchen scissors, roasting dishes and casseroles. We only threw our roasting pan into the boot as an emergency but would have been stumped without it on Christmas Day. There were no waste paper baskets in any of the rooms either which was a nuisance; sweet wrappers, tissues, make up remover pads etc all had to be stored up and carried to the kitchen. So it was the little things that irritated.
However overall we had a memorable Christmas there and that was really what mattered.

Just a few minor issues, particularly need bathroom upstairs and another frying pan

A superb location and excellent accommodation but a couple of minor glitches.
The two steps from the ground floor bedroom and bathrooms were difficult for me. The first had a narrow tread - not wide enough to put my foot flat, The second one was onto the door frame, so not flat and there was no hand/grab rail.
Some of the dishes were too big to fit into the dishwasher - the wine glasses and some of the dinner plates which obstructed the arm distributing the water.

Not sure what you mean by that

This cottage is an a superb location and the presentation and facilities of the cottage do not let the location down.

Beautiful location, superbly furnished and spotlessly clean. The welcome hamper is a great touch too.
