Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

8/10 Good
"I really enjoyed our stay and our cottage was lovely. My only real complaint is that there was an incessant beeping - like a fire alarm panel chirping - coming from the dining area where they serve breakfast. You could hear it from outside the building, and it permeated the dining room while eating breakfast! I called the front office about the noise, but it chirped through all three mornings we were there trying to eat breakfast! Insane. I still can’t get over what an annoying sound that was and I can’t believe no one on staff could figure out how to make it stop."
