The site comprises a terrace of three holiday cottages: Gurnard, Landward and Penda. There are guided tours of the lighthouse throughout the year (subject to availability).

The Lighthouse grounds are enclosed with a wall but young children should be supervised at all times. Each cottage has a private enclosed courtyard and parking area. Beyond the courtyard there is a communal grass area where children could play. Guests can unload in the parking area adjacent to Penda Cottage.
The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.
Access roads to some of the lighthouse sites are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.
Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
There is an excellent real ale pub a 10-minute walk up the hill.
