About this property
Situated in possibly the best and most unique location on the Rame peninsula, this former Trinity House fog signal building is a true hidden gem. This fabulous period property was built to house the families of staff manning nearby Eddystone Lighthouse. Atop the cliffs, this property, one of three in the building has spectacular panoramic sea views this is a truly unforgettable holiday home, ideal for older families, friends and couples. Accessed via 84 steps from the parking area, from the hall head to the sunny open plan living space, sea facing and beautifully finished. Twin doors open to the full-width balcony where you can take in the ever-changing seascape beyond.
On the same level are three comfortable bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and doors leading to a small garden area. On the lower ground floor you'll find a patio garden looking out to sea with a small communal lawned area. Sited directly along the coast path, follow in the footsteps of smugglers and explore the historic Napoleonic fortifications protecting Plymouth sound. In the evening why not meander along to the pretty fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand where you'll find plenty of pubs and restaurants in which to enjoy a hearty meal. The Mount Edcumbe Estate and Gardens are within easy reach as are the golden sands of Whitsand Bay.
Further afield take the Cremyll foot ferry across the Tamar to spend the day exploring Plymouth with its many shops and attractions. Whatever you choose you're sure to have an unforgettable holiday at 2, The Old Signal House.

The accommodation was very comfortable and the location and the views were incredible. The Rame peninsula is a beautiful and relatively quiet corner of Cornwall with lovely coastal walks. Kingsand and Cawsand are a half hour walk away, are vey pretty and have a number of good pubs and cafes. I won't miss the many steps to the property but when we return (which we very much hope to) we will make sure we pack less so we have less to carry down! Highly recommended.

Fully kitted out, very comfortable, amazing location, such welcoming hosts - cream tea, coffee and champagne - three of my favourite things! We came with our dog and there are some lovely walks right out of the door. Cawsand and Kingsand are beautiful little villages to explore only a short walk away. Would highly recommend!
