This was by far the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. Despite Saoirse being out of the country at the time of our stay, she was very quick to respond to our questions and was always available. Check in was very easy. We simply parked on the street which always had spots right across from the lighthouse and used the lockbox to get in. It’s was a short walk into this very quaint town from our stay. The location felt very private and serene. I thought staying here would be a special treat for my 17 year old son and I. The Lightkeeper’s Cottage far exceeded our expectations. We were so delighted to have been able to stay at this wonderful lighthouse! Everything was so welcoming right down to the last details which were obviously very well thought out. Appreciated the coffee with multiple coffee pods to choose from and the condiments and jam! She even left ice cream bars in the freezer! The kitchen was superb and had everything we needed to cook and prepare meals and more. My son cooked a very nice breakfast and dinner every day we were there as we couldn't think that there was anything better than right here. We sat in the glass enclosed sun room with lighted candles looking out onto the sea every night. We raced home from our daily excursions just to be able to come back to relax here. This was our first stop in Ireland after a very busy 12 day trip around the Ring Circle in Iceland. It was really great to have such a nice home base to come back to after some side trips to Ardmore and Rock of Cashel. The townspeople were so welcoming and friendly. They were very excited about seeing the lighthouse fully renovated as they had been watching the process from afar. We started talking with three local gals out for their morning walk. They were excited about the lighthouse and we welcomed them in for a look. They love their town and provided local excursion ideas and helpful hints. I think Saoirse will even have a few locals booking at her place as well!
My son and I could not believe we were able to stay here. A treat we will both remember for the rest of our lives for sure! We really did not want to leave!!
Thank you to Saoirse for sharing your beautiful home! If we are ever lucky enough to return to Europe, we will need to plan a stopover in Ireland to stay here again. It was the highlight of our trip here!
