This "peculiar" hotel on the southwestern edge of Scotland could be the country's quirkiest.
The iconic spot with "absolutely beautiful" coastal views was built in 1815 and started life as a working lighthouse, guiding ships away from the jagged coasts near Kirkcolm in Dumfries & Galloway.
Described as having a peaceful, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel is a listed ‘A’ building of major national importance.
Why this 'peculiar' lighthouse is Scotland's quirkiest hotel
Highlighting what makes the lighthouse hotel the quirkiest place to stay in Scotland, one user on Tripadvisor said: "A truly novel experience made all the better by the hospitality.
"In winter, the location takes on a special magic which is peculiar to this wonderful place."
Another said the setting of the hotel is "stunning," adding: "Wild coastal views and such a peaceful atmosphere.
"The highlight was definitely the five-course dinner. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with care using local ingredients.
"The service was warm and friendly, and the whole experience felt really special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food in a truly unique location!"
A third added: "Awesome stay!! Horrible, wet and windy weather outside. We were greeted by such warm and friendly staff.
"We chilled in the lounge with a bottle of vino. Thoroughly enjoyed our fine dining experience (all 7 courses) before retiring to a characterful four-poster bedroom with spectacular views."
These amazing views are said to include Kintyre Peninsula, Arran, the Firth of Clyde, Ailsa Craig and the North Channel over to Ireland.
