Lloyd's Signal Station In Cornwall, United Kingdom

Located on the high cliffs of Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula, is this one-of-a-kind maritime gem.

Long known as Lloyd’s Signal Station, you can now rent this historic and iconic building that once provided safe navigation to passing ships.

The vacation rental sleeps six guests and even accepts dogs!

A signal station is similar to a lighthouse; it is a place on shore from which signals are made to communicate with ships at sea.

Lloyd’s Signal Station was built in 1872 and was in operation until 1969.

The vacant building was eventually converted to a residential property, becoming one of the mainland’s most southerly homes with great views over the Atlantic.

Let’s have a look inside!

The décor is muted and neutral, which serves to put the focus on those spectacular ocean views.

Renters of the Station can also partake in beach swimming via the nearby coastal path to the turquoise waters of Kynance Cove.

What an inspiring place to stay!

From the rental listing:

Inside the Signal Station, white-washed walls, blues and greys flawlessly blend with the kaleidoscopic horizon, while industrial fittings and salvaged features nod to this unique home’s seafaring past.

House Crazy Sarah adores all the ocean-view window coves and seats. You really could spend your day just rotating around the place, gazing out all the windows over the sea…

Morning coffee spot?

The fully outfitted kitchen is both modern AND cozy. (Or, as they say across the pond: cosy.)

What a great retreat this would be – for family, friends, or even coworkers!

Could you picture an intimate wedding here?

There are three simple yet stunning double bedrooms on the first floor, all with sweeping views across the sea and comfy window seats from which to savor the vistas.
