Great experience. Gail was very helpful in suggesting places of interest and where to eat. Very enthusiastic and proud about her family’s history. A pleasure to meet her and treasure the memories she passed on to us.
Everything. Location, old world decor,, serenity, and of course the novelty of staying in a lighthouse property
Meeting Gerald Butler, the Ireland Light, Lighthouse keeper himself. He has an amazing wealth of information and history. Gerald showed us around the house, and explained all amenities. He told us all about the house, his family, history, and gave us a tour and history of the Lighthouse. Watching the light beams go around at night right in front of us was Spectacular. The remains of a previous castle was beside the lighthouse.
Stunning location, wonderful hosts. It was a magical Christmas!
Great view. Comfortable, quiet.

The location was amazing. Next door to the working lighthouse, the house had fantastic, far reaching views of glorious beaches and rugged headlands, with the inside being cosy and comfortable, and equipped with all mod-cons, except a TV and wi-fi, which we didn’t miss at all. The colourful, friendly town of Clonakilty is a short drive away, and we were spoilt for choice when it came to wonderful places to eat.
The Galley Head Lighthouse is situated on a dramatic coastal cliff with panoramic views. The history and presentation of this historic and still functional facility is exceptional, but the addition of the opportunity to spend time with Gerald Butler, former keeper of this magnificent place, made it a standout experience for our time in Ireland. Gerald has a lifetime of experience and anecdotes, he is a natural raconteur, yet self deprecating and funny. The area is steeped in history, tranquil and beautiful. What more can I say? 15 out of 10????
Amazing to be at the tippy end of a peninsula, sea, surf, wind all around. We were met by the Lighthouse keeper, which made the stay all the more special.
The house was cosy the heating was on when we arrived. The views were spectacular. A very relaxing holiday.
