Tony was an interesting and knowledgeable guide of the lighthouse and overall station. Wonderful location particularly atmospheric in the evening.

Walking back in time
Good for nature lovers, walkers and people wanting something different away from suburbia. Lots of daddy long legs everywhere, floors not very clean. Bed comfortable, clean and amenities OK. Definitely not a B&B or hotel type accommodation. Probably more akin to a cabin in a caravan park.

Overpriced and disappointing
Cramped room, tepid shower, crumby amenities, all at 4.5 star city prices. The tiny worn out heater struggled to keep the room at an adequate temperature. On arrival, there was inadequate signage to explain how to get into the gated area. The bed mattress was hard.

Very old home, good condition, great location for people not looking for 5 star luxury but beautiful environment.

Amazing Experience
Stayed in the Inspector's Cottage. It was like being the lighthouse keeper in days of old as nobody else was staying in the other accommodation.

The walk to the lighthouse at night time rates a special mention. Loved the peace and quiet with the lapping sound of the sea to keep us company.

Dodgy Computer System?
When we arrived we were told that we had no booking. This was despite a confirmation from Expedia the day before. There was no vacancy so we were unable to stay. The accommodation eventually found for us was not what we wanted and was worth much less than what had been paid. I would not want to have this experience again and wonder how it can happen. I would like to actually stay at the Lightstation one day as the surrounding environment was lovely.
