We had a great 5 night stay at Rame Head. The view from the window was incredible. We literally sat at the window transfixed with looking out to the sea, spotting all the different boats and enjoying the ever changing skyline. The room was lovely and cosy and the space wasn't an issue for us. All equipment was easy to use. The bed was comfy and the shower hot and powerful. We made good use of the jacuzzi from 5pm onwards when the coastwatch closed up. It was lovely to sit out in the dark and look up at the stars. We had a chat with the coastwatch volunteers who were so friendly and let us view the ships with their binoculars - lovely people. Yes, they are next door which wasn't an issue for us, and given the time of year we visited, we were completely alone. Rame Head Chapel is a must as the views are stunning and the gorgeous town of Kingsand is a 10 min drive. We loved it here, peaceful and cosy. For us, we were the only people in the world. We will return....

Rame head is an amazing location with fantastic views. The attention to detail on the internal decoration was beautiful. We saw a pod of dolphins with the binoculars provided. The wild ponies walking past made it extra special. We went to the halfway house pub in Kingsand which had a great atmosphere and yummy food. One thing we didn’t realise is that the hot tub is overlooked by the staff of the lookout during operating times. ...

How awesome must it have been to see the pod of dolphins from such a fabulous viewpoint. The station is set next to Rame Head Lookout but is only manned until early evening (5/6pm) leaving you with the evening to star watch from the warmth of the hot tub! It is worth checking out the photos and captions as they can give more information and show the landscape that the area has to offer. Donna, Customer Support....

Rame Cottage was in a beautiful place with gorgeous views in a very quiet and peaceful setting. Seeing the ponies and deer right outside the property were an added bonus. The hot tub outside was really relaxing and a great idea. Great walks around the cliffs and the shops were not too far away (Millbrook) to buy your daily newspaper. Overall a really great stay and would love to come back. Have already recommended this property to friends. ...

How amazing that you were able to see the ponies and deer right outside the property! The hot tub outside really is a great advantage to this property - we can imagine it to be the perfect place to relax and star gaze in the evenings. We can't wait to welcome you and your return!

The Lookout was amazing with unbeatable views. Everything we needed was on hand and the lovely hot tub was an added bonus. The coastguard volunteers next door were very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. We'd definitely recommend the place to others and we hope to visit again ourselves. We had a really fantastic time, thank you. ...

I've seen a mix of explanations around how much guests are overlooked by the Coastguards next door . . . the fact is the Coastguards are there from 9am to 6pm (5pm in winter) every day. there are generally 2 or 3 of them. They are on 3-hour shifts. They definitely, clearly overlook the outside terrace - including the hot tub and could see inside the accommodation if they chose to - they open their window so you can also hear their conversations. As it happens, they are a lovely friendly bunch, and keep themselves busy with the task at hand. I enjoyed having them next door and never felt exposed. It's a pleasant little quirk. But people need to make an informed decision. It's right opposite a popular tourist attraction. And has a carpark just behind it. People come and go all day - even into the early hours. Some forget to turn their car radios off, or have loud conversations as the walk past. I didn't mind too much, but assumed it was a touch more 'remote' than it actually was. All in all, it's stunning. a 45 minute stroll to a costal village in one direction and a 20 minute stroll to coves and beaches in the other. The views across the channel are spectacular. ...
