Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"We honestly loved everything about this place and plan to go back again. Only issue we had was there is serious asphalt damage due to roots pushing up from the ground at the cottage side. It was a bit of a struggle for our small car but going at it from an angle helps. There was some rust damage in the rooms but honestly kind of expect it because it's on the coast. Other then that it was lovely. The fire pits at night were amazing especially with a glass of wine. And a jetted tub in the cottage was a nice e surprise."
