CORSEWALL LIGHTHOUSE HOTEL, KIRKCOLM. Stunning location for a unique hotel, close to Stranraer.

I have travelled several times by ferry between Cairnryan and Belfast, and every time I've seen a lighthouse on the shore. I looked into the history of the lighthouse and discovered it was also a hotel. Immediately the Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel was on my hotel bucket-list. It's an easy 20 minute drive from Stranraer, but naturally I have to rely on a local bus and a 5km walk to get there. #corsewall

    My wife and I stayed there in 2022 and found it the perfect place to wind down and enjoy great food. The unusual perspective of watching the 5 fingers of light from the lighthouse at night swinging over the dark view towards Belfast was unforgettable. We do intend to go back to recharge our batteries some day. Thank you for sharing this visit Scott!

    It occurs to me you need a Brompton bicycle for visits like this so you can take it folded on the buses and then cycle to the hotel. It might open up a bit more travel to get to those post card view points (apart from cycling up crazy hills in Largs of course!)

    Very interesting indeed. There is something about lighthouses that stimulates my passion for the past. They played an important role in the safety of ancient mariners who braved the seas in primitive vessels, but the lighthouse keepers were also a breed of their own too. The ships are now much stronger and powerful. The lighthouse keepers are replaced by technology. However, the lighthouses still stand proud and rock solid. A somewhat romantic connection still with harder but gracious years gone by. Thank you, Scott for a great video!
