The Lighthouse Cottage is stunning inside, with thoughtful touches throughout. Nothing has been overlooked — everything you could possibly need is provided, and all to a very high standard. The location is fantastic as well. The narrow track can feel a little daunting in the dark at first, but you soon get used to it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Lighthouse Cottage is truly beautiful.
