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

Can't believe Scott beat u too it Steve, I guess that is 2-0 to Scott now, LOL 😅😊😊
I love your videos and the fact you use public transit or walk to places. That to me is the adventure. You and Steve Marsh are my two favourite travel vloggers. Thanks for such great content.

I quite agree, I love to watch Scott, Steve and Alicja.
Well done for beating Steve Marsh to this fabulous place. I can see him doing a review before long. xx
Beats the hell out of Travelodge. That place looks amazing.
I liked how he went for an explore after his long walk . This guy is seriously fit !
You have an enviable life Scott. Travelling around the world with only a passport and your toothbrush. The “Jack Reacher” of the travel industry.🤣

lol , i can easy imagine oor Scotty as Jack Reacher 😊
I love everything about the hotel, except the 5 mile walk!
@16:58 Absolutely stunning 😍
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!
Yes nice to see public transport being used particularly Bus. Use it or lose it!
Wish you'd asked to see the room you originally booked too. As the only guest, there's no-one else to disturb.
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!)
I might give that a try one day. It looks great. It looked especially appealing during a spell of nice weather in winter as well :)
Great video, a return to form. No silly UV stick checking for invisible dirt in case you want to eat your tea under a sink👍 I think we all had that mystery non COVID illness so sympathy with you there, hope you didn't get the accompanying cough too.
It's the coolest hotel that I've ever seen. No wonder For the tranquillity lovers it stands as the best choice to stay.
What a lovely and quirky place to stay.
Thanks Scott that was a very enjoyable video I didn’t even know Corsewall Lighthouse even existed 🙄
Breakfast looked great! But I must say I was curious about dinner too. The place setting looked lovely.
When a Scot tells you, "I can not believe how cold it is ".... yeah it is time to go inside ...Nice video
Fantastic vlog . I have always wanted to stay in a lighthouse.
Scott what a wonderful video its looks like Stunning plus your video is very good 👍 for the hotel and im sure the owners of the hotel would have been very appreciative our your comments kindest regards Paul in Kent
i stopped there was fantastic
I adore lighthouses...that room looked fab, and the breakfast 🎉 delicious....
I am a huge lighthouse fan, and have always wanted to stay in a lighthouse hotel! Thanks for making this video, Scott.
I am a subscriber. Scott, I hope you reach 50 thousand subscribers by the end of January. 🌨🌨❄❄❄❄☃❄❄❄ Or sooner! 🩵
Lovely to see that you walked past a sign for Leswalt, home to my ancestors. McNeil is their name, they still farm there.
Beautiful lighthouse
I'm sure this will encourage people to go there . I'm sure 99% of the population had never heard of it . Until now !
Good to see you looking fitter Scot... imagine two nights
Beautiful & yet only 1 night. .Dont think i'd be able to leave that quick.geat video.Thank you.
I knew instantly Scott meant you Steve 😬! I noticed the year 1815 on the Wall of the Lighthouse! Another very important event happened that year! The Laphroaig Distillery on Islay was founded that year! Thank God and Christ 😘!
Not sure how we missed this video! Now we have to add ANOTHER place to our bucket list! We love D&G!
Absolutely stunning.
Such a great episode! Thank you for taking us along. Love that you see so much without a car ❤️

Thanks very much for your support. It's greatly appreciated.
Also, that sign about waves from passing ships, I wonder if that dates from the time when there was a high speed catamaran on the Belfast route? Stunning scenary as everyone says, so thank you for the trip.
What a super duper place to stay scenery wonderful room that was a good upgrade 👌 you did a good video again 😀 u do a good chat 😊
wonderful video Scott 😊
Thank you Scott. I thoroughly enjoyed the entirety of this video. I thought of making some comments on different sections of the program, but then thought I'd put that on hold until I viewed it again, and maybe again..........
Your best content is vids made in Scotland (and then the rest of the island) in my personal opinion. Love the place!
I was just thinking before you mentioned it that its great how you walk or show us how to travel somewhere. Great videos.thanks
Thank you for an absolutely superb video which had me on the edge of my computer chair. As a bus enthusiast, may I apologise to you for the bus stop muddle at Stranraer. I am afraid that the problem, Where does my bus go from?, occurs in lots of places in deregulated Britain.
What a wonderful hotel. Great video as always - informative, honest and witty. It's nice to watch videos about unusual places/buildings that many of us might never know about.
Really enjoyed watching this Vlog Scott how cool was that to stay in a lighthouse very cool indeed I’d say keep up the good work Scott
Excellent
Great video Scott ,I could feel the cauld when you were out on the patio,brrrrr.ciao
Thanks!
Stunning Scott, really loved coming along with you on this one 🥰
That place looked amazing! But, as with everything, people will complain because they can complain! Great video!
Oh wow
Good evening Scott, what a truly amazing place to stay. Your bedroom looked lovely and the views were beautiful, certainly a very unique experience, I really enjoyed this video, thank you.😊
Love your posts. Thank you Scott
I love your videos Scott, I’ve been watching for years, loving seeing you doing bucket list stays - you deserve it! .. I kind of want to stay in a light house now 😅
Great video love lighthouse videos
That was an amazing journey. The lighthouse hotel Itself looks idyllic and the setting couldn't be better for it. Thanks so much for this really enjoyable trip and great video!
Another brilliant video Scott 😀🍺
What an amazing place. I'd go there in a heartbeat too. Thanks for introducing us to some great places.

Enjoyed your Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel video, Scott, and had to laugh out loud as you "refrained" from pointing out that you were one-upping your KZread compatriot and lighthouse enthusiast Steve Marsh. 😅👍
Brilliant as always Scott 😂
Always enjoying the travelling videos
This is on my list too! Fantastic wee film, thank you 😊
That's on my bucket list now!!
Fantastic vlog Scott, I am from Stranraer but live in Norway now so it is always nice to see the toon.....btw, we used to go on school trips to that lighthouse
Fantastic! Thanks Scott
That sign warning about the waves after the ferry was because of the wake of the Stena HSS ferry when it was on the irish sea loved travelling on that ship
A brilliant video 👍
A great review and trip as ever, looks a nice place to stay.
Stunning views, something really tranquil and peaceful about that area. The hotel itself wasn’t gimmicky as I was expecting and actually looked really cosy. I’d imaging it’s the kind of place you would get to know other guests. Fantastic find
Look after yourself Scott, keep up with the videos, from another Scott 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Great video Scott really enjoyable.
Beautiful!
What a beautiful hotel! :) so impressive
Worth it for the breakfast alone !
My favourite part of the world.Also the Blue Peter hotel in Kirkcolm.. Lovely Hotel and Village ❤️
Great video Scott
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!
That was awesome Scott. A fabulous place to stay and stunning views too. A win win 👍
An amazing and interesting video! Thanks for taking us along. I’m sure there will be a lot more people putting this on their bucket list!
I've been fortunate to stay there twice. First time in 1999 during the foot and mouth crisis, second time in 2003 with some friends. Both stays were amazing and I do remember the evening meals back then were almost Michelin star level, no idea if that is still the case, but they were excellent.
I have that same bed at home. It looks a real photogenic hotel to stay at. Another great vid thank you!
Fabulous vlog!! Always enjoy tour travels but this was outstanding! Incredible hotel and absolutely wonderful surroundings!!! The walk to and from was even great. Perhaps not with inclement weather though!! Thanks for this journey where the destination Was the highlight!!!₩
Looks like a fantastic place to stay i might take the motorbike over from Northern Ireland to stay there
Good video, thank you for sharing 😊
Gorgeous scenery excellent video really inspirational
On my list now!
Thanks for this amazing video , think I just might check out that hotel as it looks so impressive, clean, comfortable, fantastic views and yummy looking breakfast.
What did you do for dinner the night you arrived? I would have loved to see what the original room you booked was like. Your upgrade looked lovely.
Wow, I love the Stranraer area
Great update Scott 😊
What a beautiful situation, very peaceful, and the hotel has been tastefully renovated. I'm sure that Mrs Scott would have liked it, but maybe not the long hike to get there!
Enjoyed the video very much! I live on the Valencian coast (Spain) quite near to two lighthouses. They are all amazing structures.
Amazing location
Great trip and video Scott, just not sure about all this walking, even in good weather!
Great stuff Scott, love seeing that lighthouse when crossing on the ferry (especially if it has been a rough crossing from NI, it signals the water is about to get calmer!) Will have to stay there some time!
What a fun thing to do and what a lovely place to stay. We've seen that lighthouse from the Stena but haven't visited it and had no idea it was a hotel. Might have to put it on our "list". I think you are right. That other subscriber/youtuber who had a penchant for lighthouses might be a bit jealous of your latest destination. :)
A very honest review
No mention of your evening meal? I only take notice of hotel/restaurant reviews up to a year old, even in that time a lot can change; refurbished rooms can start to get tired, scruffy rooms might have been refurbished, management and staff might have changed as well as chefs and menus. You and your fellow lighthouse enthusiast make great videos.
Great video, Scott! Definitely worth that long walk to stay in such a beautiful spot. Very envious. 😃
Another good video Scott, met you in Stranraer Tesco and you told me about this adventure ,glad you enjoyed your stay
I stayed at the hotel last year, great hospitality and fantastic food, the dinners are excellent. I have an ambition to return when there's a gale blowing! The rooms to the front have amazing sea views. NB there is a set of external stairs to the upper floor which aren't quite are tight as the spiral staircase but obviously still limit who can access.
