About Argus Cottage

Argus Cottage sits right next to Pendeen Lighthouse on a dramatic granite headland in Cornwall. This cozy two-bedroom holiday home offers spectacular sea views and sits within a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Want to wake up to crashing waves and seabird calls? This place delivers big time.

Perched on Cornwall's rugged coastline, Argus Cottage gives you front-row seats to nature's greatest show. The South West Coast Path runs nearby for epic walks. Spot seals playing in the surf below or watch gannets dive-bombing for fish. And when night falls? The lighthouse beams create a mesmerizing light show across the water. Perfect dark skies for stargazing too - on clear nights, the stars are absolutely bonkers.

The cottage sleeps three guests across two bedrooms - one with a king-size bed and another with a single. There's a well-equipped kitchen with gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The bathroom features a bath with shower over, plus there's a separate WC. Outside, a large walled patio gives you private outdoor space to soak up those views.

Explore Cornwall's oldest mining areas or visit local pubs and cafes. Penzance is nearby (15 miles, 25 minutes) with its shops and harbor. The stunning beaches of St Ives (12 miles, 20 minutes) offer golden sands. Land's End (10 miles, 18 minutes) and the Minack Theatre (15 miles, 25 minutes) make excellent day trips.

Argus Cottage is perfect for couples or small families seeking coastal tranquility. Dog owners will love the pet-friendly policy - bring up to two furry companions! Diana the housekeeper keeps everything spotless. Just remember - no WiFi and limited mobile signal means actual conversation. Shocking, I know!
