Lighthouse Accommodation

If you are looking for something slightly more unusual why not choose to stay at a lighthouse? The National Trust for Scotland has been working in partnership with The Northern Lighthouse Board, who own these properties, for a number of years now and these properties have proved extremely successful with our customers. The properties are ex-lighthousekeepers' homes, and letting them as self-catering not only gives guests the opportunity to stay in these extraordinary, remote and exciting locations, but provides an income for both charities.

We have lighthouse accommodation at Mull of Kintyre, Stoer Head, Covesea and Mull of Galloway (within the RSPB reserve).

About the property:

Built in 1828 and standing on 260ft cliffs, the Mull of Galloway lighthouse acts as a constant guide for shipping. Automated in 1988, the lighthouse has seen many changes since the days when its paraffin lamp was tended constantly by the lighthousekeepers who lived nearby. It is their cottage we are delighted to offer, in association with the Northern Lighthouse Board. There is a restaurant on site at the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse which provides excellent snacks and meals. The Farm Restaurant is a glass building with wonderful coastal views. Highly recommended! Please note it is closed during December & January.

About the area:

Just 20 miles from Stranraer, where full shopping facilities are available, this is an excellent base to explore the Mull of Galloway and surrounding area. The nearest village is Drummore and here you will find a small supermarket (Drummore Stores), a general/ironmongers store (Harbour Stores), the Ship Inn and the Queens Hotel. There is also a post office, and you can get fuel (diesel only) and repairs done at Ward's Garage. You will find local information at Kirkmaiden Information Centre in the main street.
