The Old Signal House, situated at Penlee Point in Torpoint, Cornwall, offers a unique getaway for up to six guests, featuring three elegantly furnished bedrooms across two floors. This period property, originally built for the staff of the Eddystone Lighthouse, boasts a bright and airy open-plan living area on the upper level, complete with a multi-fuel burner and stunning sea views from nearly every angle. The inviting atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for guests to unwind while observing the dynamic beauty of the ocean.
The well-equipped Shaker style kitchen, integrated with the dining room, provides ample worktop space and modern appliances, ensuring that cooking and entertaining are enjoyable experiences. Guests can take advantage of the furnished front terrace, perfect for savoring refreshments while soaking in the breathtaking ocean panoramas towards Plymouth Sound. The property is surrounded by unspoiled countryside, offering numerous scenic walks, including a remarkable 5-mile circular route along the South West Coast Path that begins right at the doorstep.
This coastal area is rich in natural beauty, with access to several sandy beaches such as Penlee Point Beach, Cawsand Bay, Kingsand Bay, and the expansive Whitsand Bay, which stretches for four miles at low tide. For a change of scenery, a seasonal ferry from nearby Cawsand provides a delightful journey to the Barbican in Plymouth, where visitors can enjoy shopping, dining, and cultural experiences, including a small museum dedicated to the Mayflower voyage. Plymouth itself is home to a variety of attractions, including the national marine aquarium, museums, art galleries, and entertainment venues.
It is important to note that The Old Signal House is accessed via 82 steps, which may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. To ensure the property's upkeep, a £150 good housekeeping bond is required, which is pre-authorized against a card and released after the stay if no damages occur. The location, nestled in a rural area near the beach, is complemented by local landmarks such as Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers and those seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure.
