Loophead Lighthouse – Attendant’s Cottage

This authentic lighthouse attendant’s cottage exudes charm and other-worldly peacefulness, offering guests a unique retreat amidst stunning vistas. Settle into an inviting space that incorporates historic ambiance blended with modern comfort.  The Loop Head Lighthouse Attendant’s Cottage was originally the home of one of the attendants who helped the Lighthouse Keeper tend the light. The cottage was extensively renovated in 2024 and the interior was designed to provide modern comforts whilst preserving the history of the building. It has wonderful views of the Atlantic from the back windows and garden, a fully fitted modern kitchen, a cosy lounge diner with a flat screen TV, 3 lovely bedrooms, a reading room/study and a beautiful bathroom with sea views. Every room has been styled with great attention to detail and there is Wi-Fi throughout.
