What guests think
At Keltic Lodge At The Highlands, travellers rave about the breathtaking coastal setting and views, generally friendly staff, and convenient access to trails, but note dated buildings, maintenance issues, noise, and occasional closures or service inconsistencies.
Room quality varies: some renovated or Corson House rooms are spacious and comfortable, while others feel dated, noisy, or have AC/heating quirks. Dining is often praised, though several reviews report long waits, changed menus, and meals that are average or overpriced, with breakfast quality inconsistent. Expect a characterful stay with occasional rough edges.
