Atemberaubende Leuchtturmlage mit Panoramablick auf das Meer
Das Anwesen besteht aus zwei Teilen, die jedoch eine Einheit bilden. 1843 bauten die für die Sicherheit der Seeleute zuständigen Leuchtturmkommissare den Leuchtturm von Crookhaven und das angrenzende Häuschen. Das Cottage befand sich über 160 Jahre lang über der Einfahrt zum natürlichen Hafen von Crookhaven und schützte die Familien der Lichtwächter. Als der Leuchtturm zum ersten Mal automatisiert wurde (er ist noch voll funktionsfähig), brauchten die Kommissare die von der Hütte zur Verfügung gestellten Unterkünfte nicht mehr, und der Besitzer wechselte den Besitzer.
Die neuen Eigentümer haben das Cottage von 1843 vollständig renoviert. Dieser Teil des Grundstücks besteht nun aus 2 Doppelzimmern und einem zusätzlichen Raum mit einem ausziehbaren Doppelbett und einer Treppe zu einem großen Wohnbereich, der aus dem Dreifamilienhaus umgebaut wurde. Dieses große Wohnzimmer bietet umfangreiche Sitzgelegenheiten, Sat-TV, DVD und Blick in alle Richtungen. Ebenfalls im Erdgeschoss befinden sich ein Duschbad, eine Küche und ein Essbereich. Die bauliche Unversehrtheit des 1843 erbauten Häuschens wurde bewahrt, wobei die Aufteilung der Räume im Erdgeschoss dem ursprünglichen Plan entsprach.
Auf der anderen Seite des kleinen Hofs befindet sich der außergewöhnliche, lichtdurchflutete Raum, das "Langhaus". 2008 schlossen die Eigentümer einen radikalen Entwurf ab, der aus einem rechteckigen Quader mit Glaswänden besteht, der auf zwei neuen Schlafzimmern und einem zweiten Badezimmer ruht. Diese wunderbare Ergänzung ermöglicht eine spektakuläre Aussicht von der oberen Ebene durch 270 Grad. Das US Airways Magazine (Januar 2012, Seite 38, online verfügbar) empfiehlt das Anwesen in einem Sonderartikel über einen Besuch in Irland als fabelhafte Übernachtungsmöglichkeit. raumhohe Fenster, die die hypnotischen blauen Wellen des Atlantiks enthüllen!
In der oberen Etage befinden sich eine voll ausgestattete Küche, ein Esstisch für 8 bis 10 Personen, ein Holzkamin, ein HD-Fernseher und ein Blu-ray-Player sowie komfortable Sitzgelegenheiten. Entlang der Länge dieser Ebene befindet sich ein Balkon, von dem aus die Aussicht gesehen werden muss. Er reicht vom natürlichen Hafen von Crookhaven über den weltberühmten Fastnet-Leuchtturm, 7 Meilen vor der Küste, bis nach Baltimore, Cape Clear und Roaring Water Bay mit seine '100 Inseln'.
Obwohl auf Rock Island gebaut, ist dies zumindest seit einigen hundert Jahren keine echte Insel. Der Zugang erfolgt über eine wunderschöne, von Steinmauern umgebene 'Leuchtturm'-Straße, die etwa eine Meile lang über die Felder von Heidekraut und Ginster verläuft. Nur 3,2 km entfernt finden Sie Goleen mit seinen Geschäften, Pubs und dem erstklassigen Restaurant Heron's Cove. Auf der anderen Seite der Bucht liegt das Segeldorf Crookhaven, das jahrhundertelang die erste Anlaufstelle für Schiffe aus der Neuen Welt war, die für den Nordwesten Europas bestimmt waren.
Im Winter erwartet Sie in der O'Sullivan's Bar immer ein Willkommensfeuer, und im Sommer herrscht am Hafen reges Treiben als Segler und Bootsfahrer aller Altersgruppen und Nationalitäten, die auf See gehen oder auf der Suche nach einer der leckeren Fischrestaurants von Bord gehen und Restaurants am Meer.
Rund um die nächste Bucht liegt das Ende der Mizen-Halbinsel mit ihrer rauen Küste, dem Surf-Mekka und dem goldenen Sand von Barleycove Beach und am Ende der Straße ein oder zwei Meilen weiter der südwestlichste Zipfel Irlands. Dort finden Sie ein Besucherzentrum und spektakuläre Spaziergänge entlang der felsigen Küste, die zur kürzlich umgebauten und wiedereröffneten Fußgängerbrücke über den Mizen Lighthouse und die Fog-Signal Station führen. Nächster Halt Amerika!

Stunning perch above Crookhaven bay
The Rock Island light is a one-of-a-kind venue. Where else can you see so closely seals and dolphins and people all frolicking in the same shimmering waves? The location was perfect for our tour, proximate both to gigs in Goleen and Schull AND Mizen gems like Barleycove and three castle head. We loved the mix of old light keeper’s cottage and modern Malibu style. Otherwise, communication with host was a breeze and all perks in good working order—greatly appreciated!Keep the light on for us, we’ll definitely be back!

Verbesserungswürdig: Check-in und Kommunikation
Beautiful Spot, But Communication & Maintenance GapsLovely location and facilities, but our experience was marred by a stressful check-in. Despite being told to coordinate entry with the property manager, my three texts over a week went ignored. I arrived from Dublin with my 19-month-old to an empty house and no instructions on how to enter. After messaging the owner, the manager finally called, insisting she’d sent lockbox info (she hadn't). As a physician and property owner myself, I’m meticulous with my correspondence; the lack of communication was unprofessional and unnecessary.Cleanliness & Comfort:Arrival: We were greeted by a full dishwasher of clean dishes to put away.Hygiene: Found dried smears on toilet buttons and several insects/cobwebs in the cottage—signs of a space not thoroughly checked between guests.Heating: Early May evenings were quite chilly. While cottage space heaters worked, the fireplace and "boost" functions in the longhouse were ineffective. The extensive property manual revealed a complex 3 zone systemI messaged the owner privately upon checkout to share these concerns constructively. While previous interactions were lovely, the final response was disappointing—syrup-sweet yet dismissive. We chose not to involve the "on-call neighbor" during our stay as we prioritized family privacy over fussing with a stranger about heating. Great potential here, but the management, oversight and communication need significant improvement.

Our overall experience was great, and the good weather didn’t hurt either.
The views from the Long Hose are absolutely beautiful, as are the other amenities. The only downside is the one car access road. When you meet another vehicle going in the opposite direction, someone has to back up a fair distance. There are stone walls on each side of the one lane road so you can’t pull over.

Amazing location
We had a wonderful vacation in the Lighthouse. The location and views are unbelievable. We were looking for peace and quiet and found it in Crookhaven. The narrow road leading to the property is not for the faint of heart but it contributes to the isolation. The roadsides were covered in wildflowers, including the famous fuschia. The long house has 2 small bedrooms and one bathroom. The bathrooms had a lot of mold so beware if you have allergies. I highly recommend this property.

Many thanks for the five star review. We were sorry to see the reference to ‘mold’. In fact the comment is misconceived. If our guests had mentioned their concerns to us during their stay we could have reassured them that what they had thought was ‘mold’ was in fact ‘efflorescence’.
The ground floor walls of the ‘Longhouse’ are 168 years old. For 165 of those years they supported outhouses of the lighthouse (built in 1843 and still operational). Since we rebuilt the outhouses and added the ‘Longhouse’ the marine salts that had accumulated over the years have been slowly emerging from history.
Efflorescence often occurs on masonry construction, particularly brick, when water moving through a wall brings salts to the surface that are not commonly bound as part of the cement stone. As the water evaporates, it leaves the salt behind, which forms a white, fluffy deposit, that can normally be brushed off. The resulting white deposits are referred to as ‘efflorescence’ and have nothing in common with ‘mold’. Following the departure of guests we regularly brush down any traces of salt deposits which may have emerged . Allergy sufferers (and the owner is one) have nothing to fear whatsoever and efflorescence does not have any implications for them.

A welcome return to the fabulous lighthouse
We love this place. Last visited 8 years ago and the location and glass box living space is unsurpassable. 4 seasons in a day right outside your window.
We will most definitely return again.
The only comments we would make are that the kitchen equipment is in need of updating and adding to and 8 years on the shower room and facilities in the cottage could do with some renovation and improvement as there is a real difference on the sleeping and bathroom arrangements and comfort in the main house and in the cottage.
Nothing though can detract from its location and the design of the living space.

Quality-time in bester Lage
Wir sind mit acht Erwachsenen gereist und hatten ausreichend Platz. Es gibt vier Doppelzimmer plus Ausweichmöglichkeit! Das Haus war sauber und komplett eingerichtet. Es fehlte an nichts.
Die Abwicklung war toll und unkompliziert. Atemberaubend war die Lage. Durch die großen Fensterfronten hatten wir stets Blick auf's Wasser.
Das einzig schwierige war, dass wir mit einem Neunsitzer unterwegs waren und die Zufahrt zum Leuchtturm eine sehr lange (ca 800m) und sehr schmale Zufahrt ist. Tipp: Lieber ein kleines Auto mieten!!

Incredible views
A modern glass wing and an old Victorian cottage make up this listing. As it was just my friend and me, we stayed in the modern glass wing and as we didn’t used the old Victorian cottage, this review is mainly about the modern part. Incredible views from the upstairs living room. The downstairs bedrooms have doors which open onto the courtyard. You fall asleep and wake to the sound of the ocean.
The property was clean, although some of the upstairs seating and the general paintwork was just starting to feel a little tired. But that said, your eyes are taken to the stunning 270 degree views out to sea and across the peninsulas.
The beds were comfy. The water was hot and the shower pressure was good.
A couple of things to know. To reach the lighthouse you have to drive down a very narrow walled lane - amount a mile long ( at least it felt like a mile). I clipped the wing mirrors on our car twice - soooo before you go down the lane, bring your wing mirrors in, and if you’re renting a car, don’t rent a wide one.
The second thing is that the modern wing is essentially a green house and on warm days, with the doors shut, the interior heats up (to 34 c !!) - even with the shades pulled down. We would return from a day out and fling open the doors. There is a small terrace and a gantry/balcony off the upper living room which a wonderful for enjoying the sea breezes.
Beaches, walks, restaurants are all nearby. Would recommend.

Our overall experience staying at this location was a 10 out of 10. The facilities were magnificent and the view was simply stunning. From the very first contact with the owner on booking this exquisite accommodation to the very pleasant experience with Rose the caretaker made us feel right at home. Our family are originally from West Cork and all agree that this is perhaps the single most impressive accommodation location that they have ever experienced. I would highly recommend this property to anybody interested in experiencing Ireland in all of its glory. Thanks to Margaret for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your spectacular property. We will book again, that is a certainty.

Amazing experience
My family of five had an incredible week at the lighthouse. We easily found activities and day trips in this area of Cork that we loved, as well as friendly people and some great food, but we all looked forward to returning to the lighthouse each afternoon. My husband found everything he needed in the kitchen to cook most nights, and the house was full of board games and books. We found that almost all activities are exciting and relaxing when undertaken in a glass room overlooking the ocean! The area around the house had so many stunning views and places to explore, and the many wildflowers were just gorgeous. After a week’s stay, none of us were ready to leave, and my six-year-old has hatched a few schemes to get back that involve ponies.
A few things to know: you do absolutely need a car, and we (Americans used to roomy cars, roomy roads, and driving on the right) found the roads challenging in general and the long narrow lane lined with rock walls to reach the house really difficult. We had the hang of it by the end of the week, but kept a policy of only leaving and returning once each day, with 4-5 minutes of silence in the car so the driver could give full attention to getting us in or out and we could all hope that we wouldn’t meet a car going the opposite direction (which luckily, we didn’t). It was beyond worth it to stay in such an amazing place but definitely a consideration for planning. Also, there are a number of businesses that only take cash, and the closest ATM is in Schull. In terms of safety, after establishing some ground rules, we felt like the setup was perfect for our 6, 9, and 12-year-olds to enjoy, but it would have been tough to relax with, say, a strong-willed, climbing 4-year-old.
Our stay at the lighthouse made for an unforgettable family trip. We feel so lucky to have been there.

Perfect
We spent a really enjoyable break over Christmas with my sisters family and parents who live on the other side of the harbour who joined us for Christmas celebrations. Thank you for the Christmas decorations you added.
The accommodation split over the two lighthouse keepers cottages suited us very well as our older independent children had their own space. The location is stunning, the views inspirational and the house is cosy, stylish and was very well equipped for our needs, even the walled single lane track from the main road revealed a stunning view at every turn.
Plenty to do here in winter. Who wouldn't enjoy relaxing, playing board games, reading, walking (Brow Head, Barleycove beach, Three Castles Head pier, the old mountain road to Goleen) watching the wild life and whiling away time in pubs.
We all wished we could have had more time at the lighthouse but even so, our short stay was very recuperative.
A car is a must.
Thank you for letting us stay.

Needs much improvement
We were a group of 8 who stayed for 2 weeks. 4 adults, 3 infants and a small child. Upon arrival we found the property very dirty. Dust buildup, spider webs in light fixtures, grease covered kitchen, and unusable dishes in the kitchen due to being dirty. Our initial disappointment was only to grow as throughout our stay we found lamps with no light bulbs, broken barbecue grill, and kitchen cabinets in disrepair, such that it was difficult to open or close them due to this damage. The furnishings are completely sat through and are in need of being replaced.
This is a unique property with difficult challenges to maintain. We fully understand that. However, having to spend a portion of your vacation cleaning a rental that you have paid so much for was an enormous wet blanket on our trip.
This is by far the most we have ever spent on a vacation rental and had high expectations. It is with much regret to say that we could not recommend this property. At least not in the current state it is in.
We had addressed several of these issues with the owner and property manager and they were sympathetic. That being said, the damage was done and we really hope these concerns are seriously addressed because the views are stunning.

Dear Steffen H.,
We have read your review.
We are disappointed that you have taken the opportunity to criticise the property in ways that you never brought to our attention during your stay.
Three days after your arrival you emailed me and I contacted the local manager who immediately attended at the property to address any concerns that you might have.
After our manager had attended with you (twice in two days to make sure that you were thoroughly satisfied), she offered (without cost to you) to provide extra cleaning services and linen changes during your stay but you declined this offer.
I specifically asked you to contact me if there were any other concerns or queries. You did not get back to me during the remainder of your two week stay but waited until you were home to post the above review.
Notwithstanding the two or three issues that you had brought to my attention at the beginning of your stay, for which I then apologised and now do so again, I am afraid that the tenor of your criticisms must be completely rejected.
The kitchen cabinets are not in a state of disrepair. They all close as they were designed to do, and always have. The furniture is of excellent quality and is very comfortable. Electric light bulbs sometimes blow and there are plenty of spare bulbs left available. Our local manager offered to show you how to light the barbecue grill but you declined her offer saying that you did not need it. It works perfectly. A spider can spin a web in a matter of hours but the image you paint would lead the reader to expect to be greeted, upon arrival, by Mrs. Havisham of Great Expectations!
In the days immediately before your arrival you contacted me with a list of requests (including a request for 3 x baby high chairs and 3 x baby-cots for three babies, each under 1 year old). We were surprised that we had not been made aware, at time of booking, that the ‘4 children’ in your party would consist of three babies and a 3 year old toddler, especially given the nature and location of our lighthouse property and the warning on our vrbo page that ‘the property may not be suitable for small children’. Still we made every effort to accommodate these requests.
We would kindly ask the reader to read through some (or all) of the other 34 reviews on this page (including those posted in the weeks prior to the one under reply) and to make his or her own mind up about the fairness or otherwise of this review.

Tremendous getaway
I recently spent a week at the Crookhaven Lighthouse property with my family who joined me from the US. We had a fabulous experience from start to finish. The property manager met us at the house as arranged and made us feel very welcome. The stunning scenery, paired with the beautiful accommodations and terrific local people in Goleen and Crookhaven who made us feel right at home, all contributed to an outstanding stay. The longhouse and cottage are both well-equipped with everything you need and the furniture upstairs in the amazing "glass room" is very comfortable. We marveled at seeing Fastnet Lighthouse from "our" lighthouse and if you didn't move from that spot all week, you'd go home happy. However, there are such gorgeous spots to visit in the area, we were glad we ventured to nearby Mizen Head, Barleycove Beach and Three Castle Head, not to mention a breathtaking afternoon at the stunning Sheep's Head Bay, with sweeping views of Bantry and Dunmanus. All of the local restaurants we ate in were great (service and food) and I highly recommend the baked goods at Along the Way, the cafe up the road in the village. We had wonderful walks right from the property and since it was early in the season, we felt like we were the only people out there. It's truly an inspiring place if you want to write, take photos, connect with family and friends, or just get away from it all. The only small criticism we had is of the mattresses in the long house, which are in need of updating. Other than that we had a perfect stay and we would definitely recommend it and book again. I've had many wonderful trips to Ireland over the years, but this one is at the top of the list.

Gannets fishing right outside our windows, three walls of glass make you feel you're right in the middle of the view - all with underfloor heating, big comfy sofas and a brilliant kitchen. Only small criticism is mattresses are not great in the bedrooms ... Highly recommended nonetheless. There's a cute village within walking distance which has a couple of bars and a very well stocked shop. Peaceful, beautiful countryside all around and a view of Fastnet lighthouse which is just magical. Plenty of lovely walks and drives, and only a couple of hours drive from Cork. We LOVED it.
