Reviewed Jun 7, 2025Staying in an operating lighthouse in the wild bits of Ireland is an absolutely amazing experience. It was cozy and relaxing.
Cell signal is not great and WiFi is not provided, while that did allow us to fully disconnect, it was a bit challenging at times when we wanted to plan our outings and find food options. We absolutely managed though!

Reviewed Jun 1, 2025We made our own breakfast with our own provisions, which was fine.... and we were spoiled with the beautiful scenery and shore line.
We loved our stay in the apartment which was lovely. Then we walked along the country roads and shore line every evening, which we both enjoyed very much.

Reviewed Apr 9, 2025The Tory room was fabulous. Rustic and awesome as a 200 year old lighthouse can be. It is self catering so don’t forget to stop in Letterkenny for some provisions. I like stay here over and over and over.

Reviewed Jan 3, 2025We had an absolutely amazing stay here. We stayed in Dunree View and the views were absolutely stunning. The cottage was so warm and cosy and was really well equipped. We really enjoyed our complementary tour of the lighthouse too. The staff were so friendly and went over and above for us, we can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back!

Reviewed Nov 23, 2024Stayed in inish traul cottage. It's a beautiful cottage. Very comfortable and cosy. Amazing views from all the windows of the wild Atlantic ocean and a view of the lighthouse from the bedroom window. Cottage decorated beautifully too and bed was very comfy. Bathroom was modern with a shower and bath.Kitchen was well supplied with utensils and other bits.The fact that there is no TV or WiFi made it more enjoyable. I did manage to have minimal 4g in some spots but wasn't needed with the amazing views. Perfect getaway to recharge, switch off and relax. Tour of lighthouse which is free was also entertaining..
There was nothing I didn't like only that I couldn't stay longer 😂 Only advice I would have is to bring supplies of food. Tea coffee and sugar are supplied.

Reviewed Nov 2, 2024Excellent location seeped in history, very comfortable and peaceful and we had great fun with the fright at the light for Halloween. Had a lovely tour of the lighthouse on the day we left. The tour guide was knowledgeable and stayed on when one of the kids wouldn't go up the stairs and waited for me after the rest of the tour came down. Had a great stay

No wifi or tv allows life to slow down and become unplugged. This trip was the break that I didn't realise how much I needed, totally stress free and just total relaxation.

Reviewed Oct 24, 2023Amazing location and incredible tour by John who came in on his day off to tell us all about the local history. It made our trip!!
The property really could benefit from wifi and tv- it was made clear neither were available but to attract families and remote workers both would be needed. Also would be good to offer a hamper for extra cost and leave basics like milk and bread as we didn’t know all stores and local eateries were closed.

Reviewed Oct 20, 2023Isolated location to get away from it all
It would be hard to find any negative points about this beautiful location. But the bathroom space between the toilet and the bath/shower was narrow and the door was in an awkward position opening against the wash handbasin.

we were not prepared for how remote the location … if we had known we would have bought groceries on our way to the property… and eaten our evening meal prior to arrival… just a bit more communication would have made a huge different… how to turn on heat, hot water… once turned in all good.
