“The Old Signal House is a wonderful dog friendly property in a unique location.”

It is very well equipped, warm and with amazing views - and came with a very generous welcome pack of provisions. It is just off the coastal path with lovely walks of about a mile through woods into Cawsand and Kingsand, or along the coast path to Rame Head and beyond. Visitors do need to be fit though to tackle about 80 steep steps from the access lane (and parking area) down to the door of the property (and back up again) - but it is well worth the effort.

Apologies for the delay in responding to your feedback. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We also gather from the kind feedback left at the cottage that the dolphins and Sammy the seal came out to play on several occasions adding to already beautiful views from the balcony, always lovely to see.

Mark December 2025

“The Old Signal House lived up to expectations, the views were amazing and the accomodation was of a high standard.”

The only issue is to be aware of the 80+ steps to the house, these can be quite challenging

- Mark, December 2025

Thank you for your feedback and so pleased you enjoyed your stay and had everything you needed, we try to make it a special home from home for our guests. Property Owner

Mr Ian Bellingham Nov 2025

“Excellent accommodation - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would do so whatever time of the year!”

The balcony was a joy, plenty to see with ships, boats and yachts around. Very well equipped and the generous welcome pack was very much appreciated. Whilst some may have concerns about the steps to the property, this should not detract from what it has to offer, and you can always take your time, taking in the views as you ascend and descend!

- Mr Ian Bellingham, Nov 2025

Many thanks for sharing your feedback and for letting us know you enjoyed your stay, it means a lot to us. We also love the views from the balcony, always something of interest to see from ships, boats and yachts to seals and dolphins and even the odd submarine. Thank you for booking with us. Property Owner
Mr Darren Haines Aug 2025

“An outstanding property situated in peace and tranquility.”

Helpful hosts who cater for everyone in the welcome pack including the dog. Beautiful walks and views with wildlife in abundance. Just the perfect place for peace.

- Mr Darren Haines, Aug 2025

Thank you for your review, we are very pleased all two and four legged friends enjoyed the house and beautiful surroundings. Thank you for booking with us. Apologies for the delayed thanks there was a problem that prevented an earlier response. Property Owner
Mrs Janet Lewis Aug 2025

“Amazing property in a stunning location.”

Comfortable airy and clean living space and lovely comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen. So nice to have adequate supplies of cleaning equipment and a lovely welcome pack with tea, coffee and cream scones. The balcony was a perfect spot to sit and take in the view and the property big enough for 6 in our 3 generation party plus dog. Short walk to small sandy beach meant we could swim every day. None of us wanted to leave

- Mrs Janet Lewis, Aug 2025

Great you all enjoyed your stay including the swimming from the little beach, and thank you very much for your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Mr Gerry Dooner Aug 2025

“Wow, wow, wow!”

This house is fantastic, it has the wow factor as soon as you open the front door, which follows through to you opening the balcony at the front to witness a stunning view. Ideal for walkers and swimmer alike, especially with the hidden beach ;) ideal for jumping and diving which you don't really get in either of the main beaches... I could go on forever... I hope to come back soon !

- Mr Gerry Dooner, Aug 2025

How lovely for sharing this feedback and that you have enjoyed staying at our Old Signal House as much as we always do, that means a lot to us. Great to hear you enjoyed the little tidal beach, hopefully you found the private path to it ok. And we would be delighted to welcome you back. Property Owner

Mr John Gallagher Jul 2025

“A wonderful location with outstanding views.”

The property is of a high standard, the steps were a little bit hard to start with but we soon got used to them.

- Mr John Gallagher, Jul 2025

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to do so. We hope to welcome you back one day. Property Owner
Ms Christine Rosser Jul 2025

“The Old Signal House is a beautiful house in an amazing location.”

We could have spent the whole week on the balcony observing the ships and boats of all sizes sailing by, the wonderful view constantly changes. The walk along coastal path, through the woods to the villages of Cawsand and Kingsand is lovely. The Cawsand ferry over to Plymouth is a great day out too. The steps down to the house are a bit of a challenge but so worth the effort. We had a brilliant holiday and thank you for the welcome pack, the cream tea and prosecco were a really nice treat!

- Ms Christine Rosser, Jul 2025

Thank you for taking the time to feedback, it means a lot to us and hopefully future guests. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope we may have the pleasure of welcoming you back another time. Property Owner

Mrs Kelly Warren-Green May 2025

“We loved our stay!”

It was absolutely wonderful - although I didn't get to see a seal or a dolphin :) Kitchen had everything we needed, had some chilly nights and the log burner was perfect. No complaints. We are in the UK for nearly a month so lots of luggage - we ended up emptying the largest suitcase into carrier bags at the car to make it easier - same for leaving - started taking our things we didn't need for last few days up to the car each time we left - I am fitter for it. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!! Would return again!

- Mrs Kelly Warren-Green, May 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to feedback. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay, it means a lot to us. Hopefully the seal and dolphins are just saving their show for a return visit! Property Owner
mrs Briony Adams May 2025

“A brilliant property, wonderful location.”

- mrs Briony Adams, May 2025

Thank you for your feedback and so glad you enjoyed your stay. We think it is a rather special property in a very special location and it is always lovely to hear others think the same. Thank you for your booking. Property Owner
Mr Phil Ewels Dec 2024

“Fabulous well equipped property with lovely festive touches.”

Loved every minute and could not fault anything. Thank you so much

- Mr Phil Ewels, Dec 2024

“Amazing view, excellent comfort, perfect if you like walking”

- Mrs Cornelia Hausman, Aug 2024

Thank you very much for your booking and your feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay. With the cottage having the coastal path just at the top of our path we are spoilt for walking. Property Owner
Mr Chris Bradford Aug 2024

“We had a lovely stay at the Old Signal House.”

The accommodation was very comfortable and the location and the views were incredible. The Rame peninsula is a beautiful and relatively quiet corner of Cornwall with lovely coastal walks. Kingsand and Cawsand are a half hour walk away, are vey pretty and have a number of good pubs and cafes. I won't miss the many steps to the property but when we return (which we very much hope to) we will make sure we pack less so we have less to carry down! Highly recommended.

- Mr Chris Bradford, Aug 2024

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, always much appreciated by us and we are sure future guests. We find we miss the step exercise at times to help with all the good local food =). We very much hope to welcome you back sometime. Property Owner
Mrs Linsey Milnes Jul 2024

“A wonderful place to stay.”

Fully kitted out, very comfortable, amazing location, such welcoming hosts - cream tea, coffee and champagne - three of my favourite things! We came with our dog and there are some lovely walks right out of the door. Cawsand and Kingsand are beautiful little villages to explore only a short walk away. Would highly recommend!

- Mrs Linsey Milnes, Jul 2024

Thank you very much for your feedback and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back again one day - coffee, scones and fizz always available =) Property Owner
Mrs Jackie Harding Jun 2024

“We loved our stay at the Old Signal House.”

It is an effort to transverse the long steps to access the accommodation but worth it for the location which is wonderful, peaceful and very special. Just sitting out on the balcony watching boats cross the Sound is joyful. We stayed with our two lively springer spaniel puppies who were equally happy and at home. The house is extremely comfortable and decor and facilities are a high standard and includes great little luxury features such as coffee machine, tv where you log into your own streaming services. We were also very grateful for the welcoming supplies and cream tea. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending but only if you’re fit enough to walk the steps.

- Mrs Jackie Harding, Jun 2024

Thank you for providing feedback on your stay at our house. We are so pleased you loved it. Hopefully you also found the little path with less steps to the little beach =). We try hard to make it a special home from home. Property Owner
Mrs Sandra Sandercock May 2024

“Really loved staying here.”

The location was everything and we thoroughly enjoyed the balcony and view it offered every day. We were spoilt with the delicious goodies left for us and all enjoyed the scones in particular. The accommodation had everything we needed for our stay. We love the area and will definitely be booking again!

- Mrs Sandra Sandercock, May 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your stay and apologies for the delay in responding. We think it is a very special place and it is lovely when we hear others have enjoyed it to. We would be delighted to welcome you again sometime. Property Owner

Mr Brian Cosgrove Dec 2023

“Fantastic location, high quality facilities (kitchen/bathroom/en -suit/utility area) and very well maintained.”

* Directly on the path for costal walks in both directions, 1/2 hr into the local villages (and beyond) and in the other direction to a stunning peninsula. *had an issue on the first night with an external alarm sounding, something to do with the drainage system. I called the maintenance number which was answered immediately and the "fault" rectified within the hour. I also know the owner was involved by phone and was very interested to be updated. For me this was a very good indication that if issues arise they will be dealt with asap. What more can one expect ? ;-) Recommendation = 9 rather than 10. Only because due to the steps leading to the property one would have to give a caveat to some groups (I am 56 and I got up and down 2/3 times a day but I could imagine some would struggle)

- Mr Brian Cosgrove, Dec 2023

Thank you for your feedback, it is important to us that you enjoy the property as much as we do and have a relaxing time - so really pleased you had an amazing Christmas with your family and dogs. We hope the rest of your 'bucket list' is equally enjoyable. Property Owner
Mrs Pamela Withers Oct 2023

The large car park was a great bonus. All in all it was fabulous and the views were amazing.

Miss Emma Cook Sep 2023

“We absolutely loved our stay at The Signal House - the views were incredible and having almost your own beach on the doorstep was so special.”

There are beautiful walks in both directions and a selection of great pubs in Cawsand / Kinsgand. We were very lucky with the weather and had such a memorable week - we can’t wait to come back!

- Miss Emma Cook, Sep 2023

So glad everything went well for your special stay and that everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you for taking the time to feedback and for sharing your thoughts with others. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

Ms Clare Compton Jul 2023

“We loved our stay at the Signal House.”

Our weather was mixed - but the sea was always fascinating to watch. Well equipped house and great instructions for boat spotting etc. We saw seals from the balcony! Steps are a challenge but we feel fitter after 2 weeks of them and the walks and views are totally worth it. Cawsand and Kingsands are lovely villages, welcoming and with good eating to be had. Useful instructions in the house for what is open when. Fantastic stay and we’d like to return!

- Ms Clare Compton, Jul 2023

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking the time to feedback online and on eating places in the visitors book for future guests. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Hopefully dolphins as well as boats, seals and sea next time! Property Owner
Mrs Clare Goldney Gallagher May 2023

“Really lovely stay and property.”

The view from the balcony is so beautiful. Yes, the steps are hard to get down there, and the private road to drive to the property is quite narrow, but it's worth it! We loved exploring the small tidal beach 2 minutes from the property and we had it to ourselves a couple of times, which was brilliant! Kingsand-Cawsand town is really lovely and quaint and we enjoyed the ferry that took us over to Plymouth. The property is very well equipped and we were very happy to see the scones, jam and cream and prosecco that was left for us when we arrived. We would love to come back another time soon.

- Mrs Clare Goldney Gallagher, May 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and great to hear you enjoyed your mini-break. We hope you can come back to enjoy a longer stay next time. Property Owner
Mr Norah Smith Apr 2023

“We love this property!”

This was our 3rd visit since 2021 and we are never disappointed, if we could go more regularly we would. There is a lot of thought and attention put into your stay, it's so well equipped, you don't need to think of anything at all. The walks are fantastic, a hike up through the woods and you might to get to see deer and ponies! And the views are just wonderful, if you don't want to walk, just sit on the balcony and take in the glorious views - including sailing boats, the ships and the seal. Thank you again to David and Heather who are fantastic hosts, your welcome pack is lovely :)

- Mr Norah Smith, Apr 2023

Thank you so much for your repeat custom and lovely feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay and that the wildlife came out to greet you again. Property Owner
Mrs Linda Catton Apr 2023

“Lovely accommodation with beautiful views.”

Welcome pack was very much appreciated and a very nice gesture. Would recommend the mirror in main bedroom has access to a plug socket for the hair dryer. Please can you warn dog owners the metal staircase is a hazard for dogs claws if they run up or down them.

- Mrs Linda Catton, Apr 2023

We are glad you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the views which are pretty special and thank you for your helpful feedback. Property Owner
Mrs Tanya Knight Apr 2023

“Amazing location, great to sit and watch the ocean or to walk in to Cawsand for a pasty and catch the ferry to Plymouth.”

Or short stroll to beach by the house. Brilliant owners so helpful and kind We had a wonderful welcome Easter package on arrival. So handy for our dogs to have a courtyard and also access to shared garden space Would def recommend and would love to come back

- Mrs Tanya Knight, Apr 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. The Cornish-Pod pasties they sell in Caswand are pretty special. We would love to welcome you back sometime. Property Owner
Mr David Freeman Nov 2022

“The steps leading to the old signal house are a challenge, but what awaits you is well worth the effort!”

Choose carefully what you take to the property, back packs are the easiest method of carrying. The old signal house is a very historic property, but has been wonderfully modernised inside, tastefully and sympathetically. The views from the balcony are outstanding, plus you can take the stairs onto the rooftop, which is an amazing experience. The walks around the peninsula are plentiful, a wonderful walk is the coastal walk to Polhawn Fort and beyond should you wish to. Sadly we didn’t see any seals or dolphins during our visit but we did see deer and Dartmoor ponies. The options for eating and drinking in Cawsand and Kingsand are very good, even in the winter months, it’s a very friendly area. We are very pleased we chose the old signal house, the steps are quickly forgotten!

- Mr David Freeman, Nov 2022

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We find we oddly miss the exercise of the steps when we leave! Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, your kind comments and helpful advice for future guests - it's much appreciated. Property Owner
Mrs Heather Benner Sep 2022

“Really lovely comfortable, warm and well equipped accommodation, couldn't ask for more.”

Stunning views and very peaceful location, absolutely loved the balcony, what a super retreat, we had a fantastic holiday.

- Mrs Heather Benner, Sep 2022

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it really is important to us that everyone enjoys their stay, so pleased you did. And thank you for the lovely longer guest book comments, it was special to hear more about your link to the area and the local history. Property Owner
Mr Michael Harman Sep 2022

“Perhaps the most amazing location I have ever stayed in.”

The sea views must be world class. The house is beautifully furnished with a fine eye for detail. We particularly enjoyed the short walk down on to the Sandy beach next to the property and the superb walk along the cliff path to Rame Head. Nearby the seaside village of Cawsand has plenty of good places to eat and we enjoyed catching the ferry from the beach direct to the Barbican in Plymouth. We can’t wait to return!

- Mr Michael Harman, Sep 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and so glad you enjoyed your stay. It is a shame you could not stay longer. We have never done the ferry but it is on our list as it is an adventure in its own right. Property Owner
mr Daniel JOnes Jul 2022

“Absolutely lovely place and location we will definitely be returning.”

The place was very clean, cosy and really well equipped. The views are spectacular!!

- mr Daniel JOnes, Jul 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback and sharing with others. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We think it is a special place but to hear you also think so is great. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

Everything went smoothly. We were certainly not the last time in this place. Many many thanks.

Mr Norah Smith Apr 2022

“Our second visit to the Old Signal house was as lovely as our first visit a year ago, it was great to be back.”

The house is in a stunning location, the view from the balcony can keep you mesmerised for hours. We were lucky to see a pod of dolphins appear, which is apparently very rare, the seal made an appearance again and there is plenty of interesting ships to watch. The house is brilliantly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you for the lovely welcome basket, the prosecco and cream scones were a lovely treat. The log fire is great for evenings with a glass of wine, watching the world go by. We are already planning our next trip!

- Mr Norah Smith, Apr 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback, it is really important to us to try and make sure all our guests enjoy their holidays. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, the dolphins are special. Thank you for your repeat custom, that also means a lot, and we would love to welcome you again. Property Owner
Mrs Erica Ogawa Mar 2022

“Loved the beautiful building, which had everything we ever needed.”

The location is perfect for peace and quiet, and the view was breathtaking. Spacious rooms with good front garden area perfect for dogs. Nice distance to Cawsand village which is filled with all the Cornish charms. We loved every minute of our stay.

- Mrs Erica Ogawa, Mar 2022
Mr Russell Johnson Nov 2021

“Great stay lovely location everything you could ask for.”

Everything you could need was provided.

- Mr Russell Johnson, Nov 2021
Mrs Mary Hewett Sep 2021

“This is a fantastic, unique and very comfortable holiday home.”

There are a lot of steps down to it but after a couple of trips up and down it becomes much easier. It’s worth it for the seclusion and spectacular views. All the appliances are very modern as is the decor. The espresso coffee machine was a bonus. The large utility room and extra downstairs loo and shower came in useful. There are lovely walks along the coast path nearby and we enjoyed swimming from the rocks and beach area just below the house (via a newly cleared path). Be aware that the access road to the property is very narrow with few passing places but thankfully not many vehicles need to use it.

- Mrs Mary Hewett, Sep 2021
Mrs Louise Cambridge May 2021

“Fab property, very comfortable, extremely will equipped.”

I can’t think of anything that wasn’t there. The location of the house was just amazing, enjoying the coming and going of all sorts of boats , ships and wildlife,We experienced all weathers during our stay which we loved, Great walks right from the door step. Cawsands and Kingsands are just lovely quaint Cornish villages. We will be back, just have to brace ourselves for those steps !!

- Mrs Louise Cambridge, May 2021
Mrs Gemma Morgan Apr 2021

“A really quirky cottage in an amazing location!”

What a way to spend the first week out of lockdown, a real treat! The owners were amazing with their communication before and during our stay and the views from the balcony were simply breath taking. The steps down and up to the cottage increased our fitness :), and the walks along the coastal path were really lovely. We loved every minute!

- Mrs Gemma Morgan, Apr 2021
Mrs Victoria Powell Oct 2020

“Beautiful cottage a real home from home and WHAT a view.”

The accommodation is beautifully presented, well supplied and very clean. Beds are comfortable and all linen is of a high quality. Plenty utensils and crockery, enough for everyone. Everything has been thought through here and the owners have done an excellent job of making this a lovely cottage to stay in. Plenty hot water and heating efficient. There are some beautiful walks with stunning views (weather permitting) on the South West costal path, some pretty villages but take care some very narrow. The downside is the steps, steeper than we thought and some steps are deep and a bit slippy in the wet especially with fallen leaves on, also hand rail was broken halfway down and very slimy from wet. Great caution is needed even for the fittest of people, the step issue should be more highlighted in the description. Also it says dog friendly but I would think seriously about taken dogs, the steps down to lower floor in cottage to front are not good for dogs, they slip and can't get grip as no carpets. You need to keep your dogs on leads and watch carefully. Keep your luggage to a light and compact for carrying up and down.

Mr Anthony Barnett Sep 2020

“The place was exactly as advertised and watching the Naval boats, fishing boats and wildlife from the balcony a real joy.”

The only problem we had was the main oven failed to get above 150C but the small oven was fine. We mentioned this to the couple who came to clean on leaving and thought it would be an element and would inform the owners. The place was a joy to stay in and would highly recommend it.

Mr Ian Swanson Feb 2020

“The Old Signal House is unique.”

The property, and it's facilities, is high end, which compensates for the inevitable challenges due to remoteness and access. We stayed with three teenagers during a week of stormy weather, and they seemed to get a kick out of: visiting the little low-tide beach with caves at the bottom of Penlee Point; the windswept hike out to Rame Head, and the rather beautiful walk through forest to Kingsand and Cawsand. This little stretch of coast has a micro-climate that makes it nice being out and about whatever the forecasters throw at us, even in February.

- Mr Ian Swanson, Feb 2020
Mrs G Roberts Oct 2019

“An amazing location, with fabulous views and great walks extremely close by.”

You do need to be relatively fit to carry bags/cases etc. down and then up the steps, but well worth the effort.

- Mrs G Roberts, Oct 2019
Mrs Amanda Mcfarlane Aug 2019

“The location is superb there is no doubt about that!”

The steps up and down were ok for us but this would not be suitable for anyone with a mobility or fitness issue. The house was very nice and homely, with all the things that we required. If you want a quiet spot to stay with dogs, and like steps this is the house for you!

- Mrs Amanda Mcfarlane, Aug 2019
Mrs Melanie Butt Jul 2019

“Wonderful sea views and great location for exploring the Rame Peninsula.”

- Mrs Melanie Butt, Jul 2019
Ms Georgina Southam Jun 2019

“Cannot rate this accommodation high enough.”

Yes there are lots of steps to reach the house, but the views make it well worth it as are just spectacular. We didn't have the best of weather, but the wood burner more than made up for this. The bed was so comfy and the bath towels thick and fluffy. Everything you could need for a self catering holiday was provided. Lovely little hamper on arrival and the scones and clotted cream were a deliciously perfect touch. Will be recommending to all friends and family. Thanks Heather for being a fantastic host :)
