Serenity, Solitude and Seaside Splendour

“So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea. ”

- Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

What They Said...

“What a spectacular and unique location! Jane was the most perfect host and was incredibly helpful. The cottage was perfect, newly and very tastefully refurbished, cosy yet spacious and being within the walls of the lighthouse complex, felt very special. The included Lighthouse tour was well worth doing and the views from the top of the lighthouse were breath-taking. I could not recommend Loop Head Lighthouse Attendant's Cottage more highly!!”

- David (Booking.com)

“We had the best stay at Loop Head Lighthouse Attendants Cottage! The cottage was so cosy and comfortable and beautifully decorated. The cottage was so well equipped with everything we needed, and our host Jane couldn’t do enough for us. We had an amazing family getaway here, with lots of adventures and activities on our doorstep. The location was as amazing as you could imagine being on site with a lighthouse and surrounded by great walks. Thanks to Jane for being such a helpful and accommodating host. We are planning our next stay already!”
