Guests are delighted with the cottage's location, noting its proximity to the beach, the peacefulness of the surrounding lighthouse grounds, and the convenience of being close to Broadstairs town. The scenic views and walking opportunities are frequently mentioned as highlights.
The cottage is consistently described as cosy, warm, and welcoming, with spacious bedrooms and comfortable living spaces. A few guests noted issues with heating in colder months, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally regarded as excellent, with the cottage being well-equipped and maintained. Some guests mentioned minor issues such as the layout of the kitchen and the lack of a tea cosy, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.

On the North Foreland Lighthouse site above Broadstairs, this delightful cottage features entrance hall, fully fitted kitchen, sitting room, dining room, bathroom and two double bedrooms.
In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Lodesman Cottage at North Foreland Lighthouse.
Lodesman Cottage is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse, which lies on the chalk headland above the charming and unspoilt seaside town of Broadstairs at the far eastern tip of Kent. Both cottages are very child friendly, surrounded by spacious lawned grounds and set well away from cliffs. The holiday cottages have shared use of a very large, one-acre lawned garden and patio with ample space to sit out.
The earliest reference to a light on North Foreland was given in a deed dated 1499 and, at that time, it was almost certain that the beacon was used to warn of attack or piracy rather than as an aid to navigation. The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.

Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
Guests are reminded they are renting a heritage building, therefore certain features such as steps, stairs and floor levels may not comply with that of a modern building. As such, we would advise guests to acquaint themselves with the premises on arrival and exercise caution accordingly.
Access roads to the lighthouse site are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.
A barbecue is not provided, however guests are welcome to bring their own, subject to adhering to the safety precautions set out in the arrival information.
