Dreadful, unclean and unsafe. Would not recommend.
Pros:

The Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Safety and Cleanliness The entrance to where we stayed, which was about a 5 min walk from the main building, was unsafe with loose slabs. The room was unclean with stains on the carpet and cobwebs on the ceiling. I felt the cost of over £275 per night outrageous bearing in mind the accommodation on offer.
Did receive a credit (not a refund) from Booking.com for £69 which I found insulting.

Pros:

We stayed for dinner at the lighthouse which was superb, very good value for money and made our stay. The chef explained his food and was very well educated in his field. The location was lovely and we enjoyed a walk along the coast in the evening and slept with the window open to listen to the sea.

Cons:

The building is tired which we weren't expecting as the price of the room is on the more expensive side.

Excellent and unique for a short stay.
Pros:

Location and food were first class. The accommodation was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The art work/photographs around the place were tastefully done.

Cons:

I would have liked to stay in the actual lighthouse but as we requested single beds this was not possible.

Ideal for a quiet break by the sea, no passing traffic to wake you up.
Pros:

We loved it. we wanted to get away and have a quiet night and this place was ideal. The location was for us, no passing traffic or rowdy revellers late on just the sea beating on the rocks. The restaurant was very good and the staff were fantastic.
Our room was small, which we knew about but it was big enough for us.

Cons:

The bathroom was not en-suite but it was not a problem so nothing to complain about really, we would stay there again.
