St Anthonys Head

Guarding the entrance to Falmouth Harbour since 1835, St Anthony’s Lighthouse is one of Cornwall’s most striking maritime landmarks. Built by Trinity House to protect vessels navigating the busy Carrick Roads, the lighthouse still shines today as a vital aid to navigation. Its former keeper’s home, Sally Port Cottage, has been transformed into a unique holiday retreat. Set in a secluded location on the Roseland Peninsula, the cottage offers uninterrupted views across the water towards St Mawes and out to sea. Guests can enjoy the peace and solitude of this dramatic headland, with the South West Coast Path running right past the door. While the setting feels wonderfully remote, the vibrant town of Falmouth is just a short ferry ride or drive away, offering shops, galleries, and restaurants. A stay at St Anthony’s combines maritime heritage, natural beauty, and coastal adventure in equal measure
