CORSEWALL LIGHTHOUSE HOTEL, KIRKCOLM. Stunning location for a unique hotel, close to Stranraer. (2024)

YES I DO love lighthouses and YES I AM jealous :D

Well done for beating Steve Marsh to this fabulous place. I can see him doing a review before long. xx

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.

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!

Beautiful lighthouse

I liked how he went for an explore after his long walk . This guy is seriously fit !

Beautiful British Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

You have an enviable life Scott. Travelling around the world with only a passport and your toothbrush.
The “Jack Reacher” of the travel industry.🤣

Loved the walk and the lighthouse. What a treat to have it all to yourself. The owners gave you a wonderful history of the lighthouse and gave you their plans for its improvements.

I love everything about the hotel, except the 5 mile walk!

Wish you'd asked to see the room you originally booked too. As the only guest, there's no-one else to disturb.

What a lovely and quirky place to stay.

@16:58 Absolutely stunning 😍

Yes nice to see public transport being used particularly Bus. Use it or lose it!

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!)

It's the coolest hotel that I've ever seen. No wonder For the tranquillity lovers it stands as the best choice to stay.

Beats the hell out of Travelodge. That place looks amazing.

I am a subscriber. Scott, I hope you reach 50 thousand subscribers by the end of January. 🌨🌨❄❄❄❄☃❄❄❄ Or sooner! 🩵

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!

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

That looks like a really nice place. Thanks for taking us there.

Excellent

I'm sure this will encourage people to go there . I'm sure 99% of the population had never heard of it . Until now !

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!

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 :)

Breakfast looked great! But I must say I was curious about dinner too. The place setting looked lovely.

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.

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

When a Scot tells you, "I can not believe how cold it is ".... yeah it is time to go inside ...Nice video

I adore lighthouses...that room looked fab, and the breakfast 🎉 delicious....

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 😘!

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!!!₩

Thanks Scott that was a very enjoyable video I didn’t even know Corsewall Lighthouse even existed 🙄

Thanks!

A brilliant video 👍

Good to see you looking fitter Scot... imagine two nights

Fantastic vlog . I have always wanted to stay in a lighthouse.

Lovely to see that you walked past a sign for Leswalt, home to my ancestors. McNeil is their name, they still farm there.

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 beautiful hotel! :) so impressive

Looks like a fantastic place to stay i might take the motorbike over from Northern Ireland to stay there

Not sure how we missed this video!
Now we have to add ANOTHER place to our bucket list! We love D&G!

i stopped there was fantastic

Fantastic! Thanks Scott

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

Look after yourself Scott, keep up with the videos, from another Scott 👍

Beautiful & yet only 1 night.
.Dont think i'd be able to leave that quick.geat video.Thank you.

My bucket list hotel/stay is at the station in Corrour.

Beautiful!

I am a huge lighthouse fan, and have always wanted to stay in a lighthouse hotel! Thanks for making this 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..........

On my list now!

Good video, thank you for sharing 😊

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 😅

That place looked amazing! But, as with everything, people will complain because they can complain! Great video!

I also stayed just outside Kirkolm one night- on the old airbase where the Sunderland sea boats were based during the war. That was an interesting spot.

Great video Scott really enjoyable.

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 😊

Absolutely stunning.

Scott,GoPro sell a 2 battery and charger kit.with that you will always have a fully charged battery to swap in . Nice video 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 🇦🇺

Oh wow

Such a great episode! Thank you for taking us along. Love that you see so much without a car ❤️

Your best content is vids made in Scotland (and then the rest of the island) in my personal opinion. Love the place!

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 TH-cam compatriot and lighthouse enthusiast Steve Marsh. 😅👍

I was just thinking before you mentioned it that its great how you walk or show us how to travel somewhere. Great videos.thanks

My favourite part of the world.Also the Blue Peter hotel in Kirkcolm.. Lovely Hotel and Village ❤️

Loved this video scott..you must be pretty fit to walk there.i was exhausted watching you .scenery gorgeous and what a view from that beautiful listed lighthouse...your breakfast looked amazing....oh boy.it did look cold.put a scarf round your neck as well as a hat.. cheers again scott..🍺🍪

Great video Scott ,I could feel the cauld when you were out on the patio,brrrrr.ciao

Ive had coffee and shortbread biscuits there. Didnt stay just had that

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.

What an amazing place. I'd go there in a heartbeat too. Thanks for introducing us to some great places.

My mantra. "Other parts of Scotland are available". More to it than midges, heather and shortbread

Great content. I was happy to see that photo of the Bristol Steam Navigation ship.
I used to work for that company in the late 60s on the MV Dido. Great memories.
Keep up the good work. 👍

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.😊

Stunning Scott, really loved coming along with you on this one 🥰

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

Haha I knew you were talking about Steve 😉. I love the Uk trips, I've watched all Steves so now I'll watch all yours Scott. Really enjoyed that one, I'd love to stay there too. xx

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!

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.

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.

wonderful video Scott 😊

Love a lighthouse! Not stayed in one, but have stayed close to one or two in my campervan. They are amazing places. Love your videos btw

That's on my bucket list now!!

Love your posts. Thank you Scott

You can see NI from Galloway, 20 miles, & Mull of Kintyre, (13 miles) very close!

GOAT

Great video love lighthouse videos

Love this place. Great vlog, Scott.

Worth it for the breakfast alone !

This is on my list too! Fantastic wee film, thank you 😊

Another brilliant video Scott 😀🍺

Great video I enjoyed it immensely

A great review and trip as ever, looks a nice place to stay.

Brilliant as always Scott 😂

Scotland is so beautiful. If I would be living there, I would make long walks and trips in my own country as well.

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

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.

Always enjoying the travelling videos

That was awesome Scott. A fabulous place to stay and stunning views too. A win win 👍

Have you ever thought instead of walking use a fold up bike? Great blog Scott 😁
