Wir haben zu zweit im Juni eine Woche im Leuchtturm-Cottage verbracht. Für Leute aus einem Binnenland war es ein grossartiges Erlebnis. Das Meer so nah, die grossen Schiffe, Ebbe und Flut, die Naturbeobachtungen und nicht zuletzt die herzliche Art der Nachbarn Brenda und Gordon. Auch die Vermieter waren sehr nett und haben uns mit Brot und Wein empfangen. Ein kleines Paradies dort oben beim Leuchtturm!

Basically for our first trip to Ireland this cottage exceeded our expectations. On arrival the owners greeted us with a welcoming bottle of red and a fresh-baked artisan loaf. And things only got better. The cottage was a delight. Beautifully furnished and comfortable. If the proof of really great accommodation lies in the ability to feel truly relaxed by doing nothing and just admiring the view, then this is just the cottage. Would I recommend it to friends? Naturally. But it was so good, I'd prefer to keep it a secret! A truly memorable holiday.

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to visit Ireland. Finally it worked out this year and we could honestly not have picked a more perfect spot than the magnificent Lighthouse Cottage.

We were greeted in the house personally - thanks for the bread and the wine, Gerrie and Malcolm! We enjoyed both very much! I've never experienced a lovelier welcome in any holiday home I've ever stayed in!

The house itself is just absolutely beautiful. It's spacious and each room has such immense character and is full or warmth that you can't feel anything but at home there. Our favourite spot, day and evening was surely the wonderfully decorated kitchen with those stunning views out to sea. I could have glad sat there for the entire three weeks we stayed in the cottage.

The setting is, well, stunning to say the least. The photos on this site, while already giving a good impression, simply cannot do the beauty of it justice. It is even far more breathtaking in reality!

You do of course need a car to get around but I would generally suggest that when travelling to Ireland. Roches Point is a great spot for trips all over Cork and even beyond. We made trips as far as Kilkenny and Beara Peninsula and still had time enough in the evening for a glass of Guinness on the terrace, watching the ships come in and out of Cork harbour.

Best of all though is Roches Point itself and its lovely inhabitants. We had the pleasure of getting to know some of the permanent residents there and it made leaving a lot harder than it already was.

Having dreamt of a holiday in Ireland for a long time, my expectations were high. Our stay at Roches Point far exceeded those and made me fall in love with the country and particularly the area around Roches Point. I will definitely come back sometime for another wonderful holiday.

Thanks to Gerrie and Malcolm for allowing us to enjoy their beautiful cottage!!!

The location is spectacular and the cottage is just beautiful! The views are just as depicted in the photos which makes it very difficult to tear yourself away from the living/dining/kitchen area that faces the Atlantic Ocean. The "cottage" is spacious, clean and very inviting. There is also a nice den that faces Cork Harbour that I would have loved to have spent time but we just couldn't leave the views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Our stay was much too short so my husband and I plan to return to spend all of our stay on Roche's Point! Thank you Malcolm and Gerri!

We congratulate Gerrie and Malcolm on their tasteful and unique restoration of the lighthouse cottage at Roches Point. Gerrie and Malcolm`s warm welcome, along with homemade bread and a bottle of red wine was only the start of our wonderful 2 week stay this year. The cottage has every mod con you can think of and was the perfect place from which we made many day trips; Blarney Castle, Ring of Kerry, Killarney, Kilkenny, Cobh, Cork, Youghall, Midleton - even a day trip to
Dublin on the train (to be recommended)! Our time in between these trips we spend relaxing on the terrace, drinking tea while watching the tremendous variety of shipping vessels going back and forth into Cork harbour. Gordon and Brenda were perfect neighbours. Gordon was kind enough to show us the lighthouse and tell us about the history of the area. We cannot fault anything!

This property was the closest to heaven I will be on this earth..There is no way even with the most vivid imagination would you be able to anticipate the breathtaking views. It was far enough away from the hustle and bustle of a city but close enough to drive to easily and get a bite to eat or do some shopping. I recently spent a little over a month at this cottage and fell in love with it...and the people that live close by. You immediately felt welcomed by Malcolm and Gerrie and soon get to be fast friends with the neighbors close by ..Gordon and Brenda...I traveled around the country a bit but it was wonderful to be able to drive up to this location and know it was home...at least for a while. The historic significance of the area was amazing...It was truly a sensory overload of beauty ..You see so much of the harbor traffic as you are located right between the Celtic Sea and the Bay of Cork. I almost hated to write this review as I would like to keep it to myself but there is no way this amazing place will be kept a secret. Do yourself a favor..do not miss an opportunity to stay here. This truly was the most amazing vacation I have ever had. I had hoped to come and relax, experience a different way of life, have some new adventures, and meet people I would come to miss when I left. I have far exceeded those goals....Good luck to you all...save some time for me..I will be coming back

Based on the other reviews on this site and the photos I had very high expectations going into this trip. My sister, brother and I traveling with our Mom as this trip was our Christmas present to her. EVERYTHING exceeded my expectations!! The pictures barely do the views justice - you are never bored as the traffic in and out of the harbuor is always changing and once in a while we were treated to dolphins playing!! The cottage is spacious and beautifully decorated adn so well equiped!! We made dinner most nights at the house as no other restaurant had the same view! The owners were very hospitable and welcomed us with bread & wine and their neighbors were extremely knowledgable and more than willing to show us around the lighthouse property.

We hope to be back soon!!
