About this property

Lighthouse Cottage with spectacular views!

Beautiful detached Lighthouse Cottage beside Roches Point Lighthouse which is a working lighthouse!

Spectacular views of both the Atlantic ocean and entrance to Cork Harbour - the second largest natural harbour in the world!

This is a true sanctuary, quiet and undisturbed. Exhale and recharge while you lazily watch beautiful sunsets over the ocean, wave at ships cruising into the harbour, or watch sea birds gather on the rocks below. You might even spot a cheeky seal or two, and on clear days you are bound to see some dolphins!

Roches Point was the last stop of the RMS Titanic before its fatal voyage...!

Golf: Five 18 hole golf courses within 15 mile radius including Fota Golf Club (home to Irish Open events) & Cork Golf Club to name a few.

Lighthouse Cottage

The cottage has beautiful views of the Irish Sea. The rooms were nicely designed with comfortable furniture. It was so nice and relaxing coming back to the cottage after a day of sightseeing. Our host Christian was so attentive and responded immediately, especially when we could not figure out the Wi-Fi. We all absolutely loved the cottage!

If you’re looking for a unique and idyllic place to stay in Ireland look no further than this wonderful cottage next to Roches Point lighthouse. Wake up every morning to look at the ocean and ships out of the large window. Go to the local pub and have a pint of Guinness and listen to the music. Talk to the locals and enjoy! We had a wonderful vacation in Roches Point lighthouse cottage.

A true gem!

We absolutely loved staying at the Lighthouse Cottage - a true hide away - quiet and serene! It had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay, and the main bedroom overlooking the harbour entrance was a special treat! The two single bedrooms were more than sufficient for our adult family members.We can't wait to come back next year!

Unique lighthouse retreat

This is a truly special place. The views from both front and back of the cottage are spectacular. We were lucky to have amazing weather during our stay and could enjoy the boats, the birds and the amazing scenery, ocean and harbour views. We could have sat all day looking at the views but there is plenty to explore with beautiful walks from the cottage as well as nearby towns and villages. The cottage is clean, comfortable and cozy. Christiaan was an excellent host and responded quickly to any minor questions we had. We felt so relaxed and rejuvenated after our stay and can’t wait to hopefully return again soon.

Truly Lovely Lighthouse Cottage

This is one of the loveliest places to stay! Stunning views of the sea (whether sunny or rainy) and a cosy, comfortable “home away from home” to view it from. The cottage has everything you need to cook, eat, sleep, and relax. We loved Christiaan’s Welcome Guide - filled with useful apps (the ship app was great to know the ships passing by), local recommendations (well stocked grocery store 10 mins away) and places to visit around Ireland. We used all the time we had to explore near and far - and still managed to see a few seals from the cottage! Thank you for everything :) We’d love to come back!

Slice of heaven

Much like the puffin, who can remain perfectly content in a little crevice on a cliff, no matter the weather or tides, this little cottage offers more than solace and peace, regardless the weather outside. From booking, to the day of check out, we only had joy. The only hard part was checking out, only because all good things have to come to an end, sadly...This place offers everything you will need for a week or weekend break away. The area lends itself to activities that would suit all ages and ranges from walking distance to a quick drive.There are also a good selection of restaurants and pubs nearby, but once again it's fully kitted for self service for a family.We can't wait to book our next visit!

What makes this property unique

Every year for 10 years my family and I would rent the cottage for our holidays: From the very first day we fell deeply in love with the site, the sea and the serenity of the area. We were blessed with a wonderful opportunity to acquire the cottage which is now part of our family, and we hope will be a happy part of yours!
