Finest Retreats - Lighthouse Cottage

Super remote yet cosy.

Pros: Fabulously wild location. Historic and cosy. Beautiful interior decor and well equipped kitchen.

Cons: Bathroom a little smelly, maybe not used for a while?

Pros: We love the layout. It felt like home, and the view was amazing from the front room, which was upstairs, and the nature reserve was beautiful, and there was a lot of cattle and sheep running free and watching the birds and hares

Cons: Being on the nature reserves, the road is rough, but there is nothing else that we didn't like

Quiet, just you and the birds and maybe a seal or two

Pros: In no particular order… Underfloor heating, the shower and the remote button to turn it on. Very comfy bed. Loved the metal art on the walls. Well equipped kitchen.

Cons: The road in… but that’s not your fault it’s Mother Nature churning up the road. Slowly, slowly. I was thrown by trying to log into Amazon prime account as it was in Ukrainian I think. Gave up, read a book instead. The sofa was uncomfortable for short people. Also the fitted sheet kept popping off.

One of the most peaceful and relaxing breaks that I think I have ever had.

Pros: The Lighthouse Cottage is a fabulous place to stay if you want peace and quiet along with stunning scenery. The Cottage is very well equipped with everything you will ever need for your stay. Absolutely loved the log burner fire which was so nice when the wind and rain outside was blowing a storm. The Cottage is very tastefully furnished and everything is of the highest quality. The Cottage is on a private Nature reserve and the walks are beautiful with many hides dotted around where you can sit and watch the wildlife. I cannot recommend Lighthouse Cottage highly enough.

Cons: Not a problem for us but not suitable if you do not have a car. The long track leading to the Cottage is very bumpy and is mainly gravel with large potholes and about 1.5 miles long (estimated, I didn't measure it). I have a 4x4 so it was not too much of a problem for me but my friend had a standard car and he said his was a real bone shaking ride.

Fabulous property but make sure the access instructions are correct

Pros: Furnished and equipped to a high standard. Spotless and appeared newly decorated. In a brilliant location - magical to be in a working lighthouse cottage.

Cons: We were given the wrong keysafe code and were not given the code for the access gate so had to spend time making calls. The people in the Hide next door had exactly the same problems. The instructions for the hot water were confusing - thankfully one of the showers was electric .
