Marietjie, South AfricaWe thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the lighthouse. It is full of character, and we enjoyed the stories about the history of the lighthouse and the hotel. Lovely to wake up to the pounding of the sea on the rocks and look out of the window to see the light tower against the dark sky above you. Dinner was excellent and the service warm and friendly throughout. We especially appreciated the assistance with charging our car. We did not expect the weather in December to allow walks and hence booked for one night only; I would definitely recommend staying longer and exploring more of the site. Warmly recommended!
Christine, United KingdomA very comfortable stay, delicious food and welcoming staff. A lovely way to spend Christmas.
Private GuestThe room we had was large and contained everything we needed. It was clean and tidy with pleanty of space for our clothing. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. The meals over the Christmas break were excellent and with good choices. Christmas dinner was away from the norm which was wonderful. John and Helen, with chef Richard, made everyone feel welcome and went out of their way to satisfy different food requirements. We would certainly recommend Corsewall for a peaceful, relaxing stay.
Joshua, United StatesThe highlight of this property is definitely the staff. They are so friendly. The best food we have had on our entire trip. The property is unique, but by it's very nature has some limitations. Quarters are snug but comfortable. The en suite was TINY! Overall fun property and I would visit again.
