About this property

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.

    Sorry, no barbecues, fireworks, drones or remote controlled flying equipment permitted.

    Sorry, charging of electric cars is not permitted.

      Clean and well equipped cottage. Great location for walks along the beach. Both Margate and Broadstairs have plenty of really good restaurants and coffee shops. We took a 4 night midweek stay in November, and fortunately the weather was good. Cottage has a drier if you do get wet walking. Booked up to return again.

      Cottage rated as 5 star and cost of accommodation was high even compared to other 5 star I have stayed in. However quality of presentation of Accommodation disappointed. Insufficient and slightly grubby cutlery. Glassware needed washing before use. Dirty mugs. Bathroom cleaning needs to be improved. We left on a Sunday which seems to be a “non arrivals day” but housekeeper sent message that she would arrive at 10:15am to prepare for next guests although appeared to be no booking until following Tuesday. Seemed unnecessarily direct. Information folder contained contradictory instructions covering current , Covid and Christmas circumstances. All “attention to detail” matters which would justify star rating and charge.
