Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Praa Sands beach is fantastic. We have know Andrea and her late husband ozzie for 8 years or more. The lighthouse is like our 2nd home.

"The owner was very friendly and helpful and left a very welcome cream tea as a welcome pack."
The cottage is in a lovely location, with easy access to many tourist spots, and has a lovely and peaceful garden in which to relax. However, we did find the sofa uncomfortable, the bed was rather creaky, and the shower door access very small, which made it difficult to get in if your not thin. However, despite these faults,we did enjoy our stay.

The property is so close to the beach which is wonderful. The Coach & Horses Inn's decor and food was lovely too. Thats's about a 5 minute drive from the cottage. We loved Praa Sands' beach. We travelled to St Ives, Falmouth, Penzance & Porthlevan which is a fishing port and adorable. We will definitely visit Praa Sands and stay at the Lighthouse Cottage again. Andrea who owns the Lighthouse cottage is lovely and was extremely generous with so many gifts. Thank you Andrea xx

They both feature a sitting area, a quaint dining area and an amply equipped kitchenette, where you will be able to rustle up some delicious treats for you and your loved ones.

To keep you busy whilst staying at these wonderful cottages, spend an afternoon soaking up the sun at the beach before tackling the famous Cornish waves with your surfboard. Alternatively, brush up on the local history by discovering Pengersick Castle which is rumoured to be one of the most haunted places in Cornwall! These quaint cottages promise a refreshing getaway for two couples looking to get away from their day to day routines.

Where you’ll be staying
PRAA SANDS
Marazion 4.5 miles ; Helston 6 miles ; Porthleven 5 miles
The village of Praa Sands sits on the south coast in between Helston and Marazion. Praa Sands is known for its mile-long sandy beach and excellent surfing conditions. There is a bar/restaurant overlooking the beach – the perfect spot for lunch with a view or sunset drinks. Praa Sands is also home to a Golf and Country Club, from where the most wonderful sea vista can be enjoyed whilst you play. Just inland from the beach is Pengersick Castle, the tower of which dates back to the 16th century. It is said that Pengersick is haunted, and that the ghost of a monk has been seen wandering the grounds! The house at Pengersick is rumoured to be the birth place of John Carter, the self styled King of Prussia and a tunnel which leads from the house to the beach was apparently once used by smugglers. There are supermarkets and other retail stores in Penzance (8 miles) and Helston (6 miles).
