Lizard Loft at Trinity House
Conveniently located close to the harbour in the former lighthouse depot and National Lighthouse Centre, Lizard Loft at Trinity House is a beautifully renovated apartment bursting with nautical history. Sleeping two, it’s perfect for a romantic escape where days can be spent exploring the seaside town on foot, swimming in the sea or geothermal pool, sipping cocktails in trendy bars, and watching the sun set over the harbour from the apartment. Make the most of your stay and hop on the ferry, just steps away, for an unforgettable day trip to the Isles of Scilly.
Lower Trenarthan
Situated in an elevated position overlooking Mount’s Bay, Lower Trenarthan is a stunning residence offering breath-taking views. Sleeping four guests, it’s ideal for a romantic retreat, close friends holidaying together, or a family break. From its advantageous position, you can sit back, relax and watch the comings and goings of life in the bay.

If, however, you’d rather stay in a more remote location, head further west for a landscape that’s rugged and wild, where rolling fields merge with brooding moorland and dramatic sweeping coastlines.
