The surrounding coastline is of a dramatic character with cliffs sculpted by Atlantic storms where rock ledges and caves are home to seabirds, seals and other maritime animals. Loop Head Lighthouse station is a major landmark on the northern shore of the Shannon River. The Lighthouse station is built on a clifftop with 300 degree views of the sea down to Kerry Head and Dingle and across to the Cliffs of Moher. Special Notes: The lighthouse station is reasonably remote, although Kilbaha village with post office, shop and pub is only 3 miles away. It is recommended that guests bring bottled drinking water as there is no mains supply at the station. Access to the lighthouse tower (for a fee) is only possible during the summer months when the tower is open to the public for tours.

  • Sleeps 6 people. 2 Double Rooms and 1 Twin Room (1 Double Room is located downstairs)
  • Welcomes 1 pet.

We had a lovely few days at Loop Head, in all weathers! But the house was very cosy and warm.
The house guardian Mary was super helpful and accommodating and had the place in lovely condition.
All in all a unique and most enjoyable experience.
Thanks to all at Landmark Trust.

We recently spent 2 nights at Loop Head Lighthouse Keepers House. Mary greeted us with a warm welcome on arrival & showed us around the cozy house. The spectacular sunsets & wonderful views make it such a special location. Our youngsters were very impressed that scenes in the last Star Wars movie were shot very close by! We highly recommend it as a lovely place to spend a relaxing time.

The location of the property is absolutely amazing. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and the dramatic coastline is stunning.
The weather was not at its best while we were there, we had wind and rain and some lovely sunshine. The wind and rain added to the atmospherics, and the house was totally cosy with a very effective heating system.
The highlights - the wonderful viewing window upstairs, we sat for hours in those comfy armchairs admiring the Kerry mountains in the distance.
The local Kilbaha gallery is not to be missed.
Best of all was the genuine warm welcome from Mary.

I love lighthouses. When my children gave me a gift of a trip to Loop Head for two nights I was delighted. The six of us headed off, taking with us...our dog. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. I have absolutely no complaints.

I do however, have one piece of advice. If you want to take the time to enjoy your Loop Head experience bring all the food that you need with you. We did this, and were able to maximise our time at the venue, rather than travelling the considerable distance to the nearest shop. The fridge, cooking and cleaning facilities were more than adequate for cooking for six adults. We were very glad that we had come prepared.

We stayed for a bank holiday weekend and had an absolutely wonderful time. Lots of walking along the cliffs - we saw dolphins, hares and loads of birds in their “apartments”. Went for a lovely cycle around the peninsula, and went for food in a spot recommended by Mary. Beds were so comfortable, and the reading room was such a lovely spot for a morning coffee. We were mesmerised by the lighthouse itself - delighted to get up for a tour, but even better to see it alone among the stars by night! Thank you so much to Mary and all the team.

Thank you for your brilliant review. We have kept this property as authentic as possible to the time it was last inhabited, which really suits the age of this building. The reading room upstairs with an amazing view out to sea, is loved by all our guests. Mary is an excellent ambassador for this area and a credit to us all, her great care of our visiting guests and this old building keeps this property busy all year round.

Loop Head Lighthouse is located at the end of the peninsula. Therefore it is realy quiet and calm there after the lighthouse is closed for the public (at weekends at 5pm). Mary was very friendly and helpful. The house is very cozy and has everything you need for your stay. If you need a pub close by you are at the wrong place. If you need a relaxing view on the ocean come here.

Thank for your great review. During the summer the lighthouse opens for tours, which is a paid tour to cover its costs, unfortunately we do not get a discounted rate as this is run by a separate source.

We had a wonderful time at Loop Head Lighthouse. The weather was great & this added to our enjoyment. We walked all around & the view was stunning. Our bedroom was looking out at the light going round in the lighthouse. It was so different. Mary is brilliant, she welcomed us, showed us around the house & how things worked & told us to give her a call if we needed anything. It is an experience we will always remember.

We had a wonderful three night stay in the Loop head Lighthouse cottage in April. We were made very welcome by the caretaker and indeed by everyone we met on the peninsula. Calm seas, near windless days and plenty of sunshine enhanced our exploration of the immediate area around the lighthouse and beyond towards Kilkee and Kilrush and lots of places in between. There's no shortage of things to do. The cottage is very nicely done out and everything we needed to self cater was in it. We found it a very cosy and comfortable retreat.

My extended family (six adults) stayed for three night in early April 2024, a time which coincided with storm Kathleen. The storm and sheer energy of the sea added to the occasion. The cottage was warm and had very authentic feel. Cleanliness was excellent and the property had all the appliances we needed. Great support and flexibility from the host on joining and leaving. Highly recommended.

Special experience on staying in a old traditional keeper's house right close to the lighthouse, still working. Surrounding nature is quite beautiful, with privileged views over the Ocean.

Enjoyed another wonderful stay in a Landmark Trust property. So peaceful, a real escape. It felt a little less isolated than other properties as the lighthouse is open to visitors, so other people were on site during our visit. Frontroom was cosy, so we had a relaxing few nights playing boardgames. Weather was poor so no views across to Kerry unfortunately. We'll have to come back!

Thank you for your review, your stay not only covers the costs of staying in the property but also a portion of your rate goes towards the maintenance of this old landmark property, our pricing is very competitive compared to other holiday lets or hotels in the area, this location has spectacular views, the building has great history and we only increase the costs minimally each year with inflation, like all our properties and consider them all great value. We look forward to you trying your next unique location with us.

The host of the property was amazingly helpful and kind. Once we explored the property it was easy to settle in. Perfect. Not my first stay with the Irish Landmark Trust, and it hopefully will not be my last. You can feel the history in the air all the time. Simply magic. If you are looking for a cool place to stay that is not the norm, this is it. We had great weather and it was very much fun exploring the surrounding areas. Thank you very much!

Our 2 night stay at Loop Head Lighthouse Keepers cottage was a truly wonderful experience. Mary met us at the property and was very friendly. The property itself is charming and cosy in equal measure. We had all sorts of weather raging outside and we had a most lovely refuge. Will definitely return, hopefully for a longer stay

Thank you for your great review. This lighthouse, as with most of our other lighthouses are very wild and windy due to being so high up and at the end of the head land. But, once inside they are a great experience due to the sympathetic restoration. I hope you and Trooper can visit another of our dog friendly properties again soon.

We (3 people and a dog) really enjoyed our stay in Loop Head Lighthouse on the edge Atlantic Ocean. Having stayed at Fanad Lighthouse last year prepared us for the experience, the internal setting being very similar, it was outside the building the difference in location was apparent. Unfortunately we were there in February so we missed out on the Lighthouse tour as this is only available from March onwards.

Blackhead and St Johns, both in NI are very popular too, the only other dog friendly lighthouse is Wicklow but has to be booked well in advance!

This lighthouse keeper's cottage is remarkably authentic. It is not particularly comfortable or warm: nor should it be. It is a splendidly isolated place and in winter there is nobody else around for miles. It was Bliss to walk the lonely clifftop path on a frosty blue morning and rest in the surprising warmth of the sun as the Atlantic rollers crashed below. We were as happy as children here.

Thank you for your review. Im pleased you enjoyed the experience. This property should be comfortable and warm... its not fitted out with modern beds or decoration but with decoration that is in keeping with the property and the life the working lighthouse keeper experienced. There is suitable heating that you can boost to suit and a wood stove in the living room. Loophead has the original single glazed period sash windows that do let in the cold so we advise at night you close the wood shutters to keep the heat in.

We had a very comfortable stay at the light keepers house. It was warm and comfortable with all the facilities needed for cooking. We stayed in the loop head area and walked to the Éire sign just beside and had a hot whiskey in Foleys, a lovely pub in the village of Cross. Released, enjoyable and a very safe place to bring the dog. There is a large enclosed area around the house and lighthouse.

Mary was a fantastic host she was very helpful and accommodating. The house itself is beautiful and has a lot of character. Unfortunately the heating was problem and wouldn't work in the morning for us. Once we contacted Mary she was able to rectify the problem (Hard to contact in the house as there is little to no reception) The hot water also didn't work in the shower.
Overall it was a beautiful, relaxing stay.

Thank you for your review. This is a bucket list property, we keep the price in line with similar historic landmark properties, Loophead is about being part of the experience living as a lighthouse keeper, living on the cliff edge under the sweeping light, with little wifi to let you immerse in great conversation, play some old fashioned games or enjoy a good book. Our checkout times are our standard throughout, as the House Manager could have another arrival on the day you leave, this enables the next guest to receive the property in its best condition, and fix any small problems that may have arised during your stay, before the next guests arrive.

We absolutely loved our stay at Loop Head Lightkeeper's Cottage and would have loved to stay longer. It was about the midpoint of our tour of Ireland vacation, and it was such a perfect stop amid the busy trip. It was so nice to have a couple days with nothing to do but sit in the coziest cottage and read and listen to the radio and look out at the ocean. We enjoyed getting to go up in the lighthouse tower and hear about the history of the lighthouse. Mary was wonderfully sweet and so helpful. It was all just so wonderful, and we were sad to say goodbye. We hope to come back someday but bring our boys with us next time.

We enjoyed 5 days on the western edge of Ireland that were both tranquil and exciting. Tranquil because the usual distractions of TV/Internet were not there to bother us. And the mobile phone signal was variable to say the least. The arrival of Storm Agnes during our stay made it exciting too. Rain and high winds were the order of the day and, even when the weather outside became a little calmer, the nearby Atlantic Ocean lived up to its 'wild' tag.

On our last day we also experienced a power cut which lasted for several hours. Thankfully our attentive host, Mary, persuaded the ESB to send out a technician and she found and fixed the problem before darkness fell. All this in the middle of another bout of wind and rain! That evening we spent a cozy evening in front of the fire which we lit in case the power cut left us without any heat.

Apart from Mary herself, the staff onsite in the shop and lighthouse couldn't have been nicer. And that goes for everyone else we met in the nearby villages of Cross, Kilkee, etc..

For these two Dubs our stay was a refreshing antidote to the hurly-burly of urban life. We'll be back!

Thank you for a great review, a stay during a storm is an experience in itself, its great to hear Mary was able to save you from a dark night in the house, as it probably would have stayed years ago

Fantastic view, stars like we had never seen, quiet solitude and utterly relaxing! There is limited cell service so a real chance to unplug. The cottage was cozy and the wind was crazy but so isolated, quiet and relaxing. We were sorry to only have two days. Will book a few more next time. If you know anyone that loves Lighthouses it is an adventure of a lifetime. Just an amazing experience!

We had a lovely weekend in Loop Head. Everything was great, from the fact that we could bring our dog Ruby, to the wonderful scenery and the fabulous Mary who looked after us so well.
We will be back and would recommend it to anyone for a great break.
Thank you,

When we arrived we were met by the House Manager who explained all that we needed to know, and answered all our questions. The residence was spacious and comfortable with the sitting room and the kitchen being the most used spaces by us. Our children loved exploring the rooms, and the grounds. I was very glad that the whole compound is walled so I didn't have to worry about the little ones getting out by the cliffs when they played outside. The kitchen was very nicely updated with all the service and utensils you would need for light cooking. We also were grateful that the tours of the lighthouse were only from 1000-1800hrs. After that the gate was locked and we had the location to ourselves. I would highly recommend taking a walk along the many paths because the views of the ocean and sky are spectacular. My wife and I even went out for a late night walk, which was a little windy, but we had the warmth of the Loophead light to guide us home.

We booked this stay for a family get-together. Our parents and ourselves stayed in the actual house itself, with the other members of our family staying locally. We held a barbecue on the Saturday evening and had everyone over for food and drinks.
The actual house itself has all mod-cons whilst retaining the feeling of an original lightkeepers house. The decor is traditional and very well appointed. It is a great experience. Sleeping at night with the lighthouse flickering outside the window is amazing. the sense of calm and solitude this place has is unbelievable.
We couldn't recommend this place enough.
Mary, the staff member who facilitates the check-in was so accommodating.
The other staff of the actual grounds and the lighthouse itself were great also. We all took a trip up the lighthouse and it is a memorable experience.
This is the perfect place for a getaway which is out of the ordinary.
I say it is the best place we have ever stayed for the entire experience.

What a beautiful location and a really comfortable house to stay in. A warm welcome from Mary & orientation of the house and systems highly appreciated. Beds really comfortable and kitchen has everything you could need.

We were lucky enough to have amazing blazing sunshine to make the long weekend unforgettable. The coastline is magnificent - make sure to visit the Bridges of Ross and follow the coast road to Kilkee. Keatings pub in Kilbaha has great food & smashing ice creams, with lots of outdoor seating. Tour of the actual lighthouse with Mary (mark 2) was terrific - interesting, informative and with amazing views as far as the Blasket Islands. Sunsets from the rolling cliffs, covered with sea pinks were magnificent. Sunrises, complete with large murmurations of birds and hares hopping around, even more so.

As a mixed generation holiday (grandparents, children and grandchildren), there was something for all ages and we'll definitely be back.

Four of us stayed for the weekend.We found the lighthouse cottage to be spacious, clean and comfortable.There was a third bedroom which we didn’t use.
We had lovely views of the sea. On our first day went for a walk and discovered the Eire sign.
We did the Lighthouse tour on the Saturday of our stay. It was very interesting.
We also did the Cliff walk in Kilkee. Tried the local cuisine at Keatings bar and restaurant ( the last pub before New York apparently) which was very hearty.
We also ate in the Long Dock which has won numerous awards for their food.
We would love to have hired out bikes, visited Scattery Island and maybe got as far as the Burren but we just ran out of time. We will have to return!
Just a small note to add is that you no longer need to bring bottled water with you as the cottage is now attached to the national grid.
One final word is we found Mary the cottage minder to be very friendly and helpful when asking about restaurants walks etc. I would definitely recommend a stay here. Best wishes Margaret

Our stay at Loophead Lighthouse just took our breaths and hearts away. What a privilege to be temporary keepers of the light on the most westerly tip of the Loophead peninsula with the sweeping majesty of the Slieve Mish mountains south across the Shannon and the wide expanse of the wild Atlantic stretching infinitely west, the stuff of the most inspiring sunsets; a beguiling landscape. We could only marvel at the light-keepers and imagine their way of life. Preserving these properties with such integrity is a fitting tribute. This was our first Irish Landmark Trust stay and has lit a fire within us for more holidays that provide something truly unique. We also enjoyed exploring the Loophead Peninsula, our first time there, and took a seaweed bath in Kilkee - needless to say we returned home feeling fully restored and well.

Wonderful stay at Loop Head Lighthouse - Mary was very accommodating re meeting us at the house when times were changing all the time due to the snowy weather!
The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the amount of fuel left for a fire for the first night - 4 briquettes and 5 pieces of kindling - one firefighter! We knew that we needed to bring fuel for the other nights but it would have been better to say from the off to bring your own fuel altogether rather than leave such a paltry amount - particularly as the power had been off all day due to storms so the first thing we needed to do on arrival was light a fire!
This did not distract from the lovely off grid experience and we did manage to get out and about every day despite the weather!

Thank you for your review of this amazing lighthouse experience. Losing the electric, probably due to the very poor weather, before your stay would have affected the heating in the house considerably, this is usually a wonderfully warm property, unfortunalely a rare outage is out of our control. We have taken on board the first night fuel complaint and now supply more fuel for the first night stay, Mary can advise where more fuel can be bought for the remainder of your stay.

We especially loved the little reading room upstairs looking out on the water. Thank you Mary for your warm welcome and suggestions of places to eat - Hickies in Kilkee was excellent.

It was a great experience that we had! 100% recommended. It's a shame that we couldn't visit the lighthouse as it's not open during winter time. As a suggestion, it would be great if someone is staying in the lighthouse, regardless the time of the year, they could have the option to arrange a visit.
The only thing I'd like to mention is that despite the website says there is a limit of firelogs to lit the fireplace, there was litlerally none and only 1 match to light the fire. Thankfully there were smokers in the group and we had a lighter.

Thank you for your review. The lighthouse is automated so no lighthouse keeper is required on site, Loop Head is the lighthouse cottage the keepers used. The opening of the lighthouse itself is out of our control and the winter months would see very few visitors to the point, and may be the reason the local council does not provide a lighthouse guide. We do advertise on our website all of our properties provide fuel for the first night only, and you must bring your own fuel for the rest of your stay. I hope you can return in the summer to experience a tour of the lighthouse and enjoy the views later into the evening

We were a party of six that stayed for three nights and we all really enjoyed it. The remoteness and beauty of the place is spectacular. The lack of internet and phone coverage may not suit everyone but it didn't seem to bother our group at all. I would advise anyone intending to stay to bring plenty of provisions, music, cards, board games etc. as it is quite remote and a good distance from the nearest supermarket. I would highly recommend staying at Loop Head and I intend to go back again.

Spacious and comfortable house with stunning location and views. Beautiful cliff walks, bird watching and lighthouse tours out your front door. The caretaker is also wonderful and willing to help with whatever comes up. Do be aware there are public tours and facilities in the courtyard during the day. It wasn’t a problem for us - we enjoyed access to the coffee each morning and still had plenty of privacy. Cell service also pretty spotty but worth it. Bring a good book!

Grandparent and family with teenagers, this was a stimulating and interesting shared holiday with walks, tour of lighthouse, family history exploration and swimming at the pollock holes at Kilkee. Good restaurants nearby, Keatings and the long dock . Mary our host could not have been more obliging , and staff at lighthouse were very friendly with coffee shop on site.

Grandparent and family with teenagers, this was a stimulating and interesting shared holiday with walks, tour of lighthouse, family history exploration and swimming at the pollock holes at Kilkee. Good restaurants nearby, Keatings and the long dock . Mary our host could not have been more obliging , and staff at lighthouse were very friendly with coffee shop on site.

We stayed at the Loop Head Lighthouse for 3 nights in late June. It is a great location for exploring the north and south areas of the west coast, and about 1.5 hours due west from Shannon Airport. It is the complete opposite of Dublin - quiet, remote and more blustery weather. After o stay at Loop Head, we returned our rental car to Shannon & took the green bus into Dublin. For tourists who would like to experience both aspects of Ireland, I highly recommend Loop Head Lighthouse for the west coast location.

We had a fantastic 2-night stay at Loop Head Light Keepers house.The house is a very special place to stay. The selection of furniture and fittings really make it so authentic.Everything is there to make it feel like your 'home', but with stunning views and atmosphere. But then the sun sets and the place becomes extra special! When the beam from the lighthouse starts to light up the grounds the sea and the sky, it is utterly mesmerizing! Go outside and let your eyes adjust to the dark, then watch this magical display! Spectacular cliff walks and views of the ocean. Bucket-list location for sure.

We would recommend a stay at Loop Head to anyone wishing for a relaxing break in a remote, unique location. The house is comfortably furnished, though king size beds, instead of the doubles provided, would not take from the character of the house and would be more in keeping with what most people are used to nowadays. The kitchen is showing wear and tear and needs to be updated. Everything was spotlessly clean.

The scenery is incredibly beautiful in that area of County Clare. At the lighthouse the only sounds we heard were the waves on the rocks below and birdsong. The small upstairs sitting room has a wonderful view of the sea; at night we sat there listening to classical music on the radio until darkness fell and the beams from the lighthouse were visible over the water.

Some years ago we stayed in the light keeper’s house at Galley Head. That was also an unforgettable, good experience.

This was our second stay at the Loop Head lighthouse. Everything about our stay was excellent. Mary, our gracious host, was there to welcome us and to make sure we were comfortable. We slept like babies both nights in the comfortable bed, and during the day we explored the peninsula and visited some of our favorite places like the Kilbaha Gallery and Long Dock restaurant (both not to be missed). We look forward to returning again soon! We have stayed in many Irishlandmarktrust locations, and the Loop Head lighthouse is one of our favorites.

I had my reservations about staying here but I was wrong. The place was fantastic! The photos do not do the place justice.
Great location with a special room upstairs that look out to the ocean with two blue chairs, Mother and myself spent most of the time in that room when we were in the property.
There is very little to no mobile phone signal, I was with 3 Ireland and had 0 to 1 bar of 3g most of the time. Mother was with Vodafone and she was able to make phone calls etc.
There is one bathroom, located downstairs - so be mindful of who sleeps upstairs in either the main bedroom or the twin room.
The lighthouse lights came on around 8.30pm , so mother and myself spent almost 2 hours at night looking at the lights flashing.
There is central heating (oil), it did get chilly early mornings and at night, there is a stove fireplace but we didn't use it. in fact we didn't spend any time in the living room!
spacious kitchen with everything you need to cook, we brought our own stuff with us, as its a long way to the nearest shop, plus, it was out of the tourist season so most places were not open.
Great location to go walking around the cliffs , we met someone there who questioned going to the cliffs of moher, as the views at this location are amazing! - only difference is no shops/retail at this location
A great place to unplug from the world

The house was charming. We arrived in the dark with the lighthouse light welcoming and guiding us. Christmas lights were on in the kitchen window and it was lovely and warm on arrival. It took only minutes to settle in, lighting the fire and closing all the shutters. We could not wait to wake up next morning to explore. We awoke to the sound of the sea and lovely winter sunshine. Our stay was too short and the location and accomadation far exceeded our expectations. We look forward to returning. The Casey family, Boyle, Co Roscommon

What can I say... it's a fantastic experience. The lighthouse is at the end of the world, in a great way. The location is as remote as you could ever hope to be with the comforts of home. The cottage is comfortable and the views are Incredible. The weather changes by the hour which makes for some amazing sights. Sunsets are incredible.
Having the lighthouse on the doorstep is such a lovely experience and your House Manager Mary is welcoming, helpful and on call if you need anything.
Remember there is no tv or wifi so it's a welcome break from the day to day.
There is plenty of space in the cottage and a room just for reading, watching the sea and possible sightings of sea life.
The kitchen is fully equipped. Stock up with provisions, enjoy the day trips around the amazing Wild Atlantic Way and watch the sea roll by. I can't wait to go back :)

What can I say... it's a fantastic experience. The lighthouse is at the end of the world, in a great way. The location is as remote as you could ever hope to be with the comforts of home. The cottage is comfortable and the views are Incredible. The weather changes by the hour which makes for some amazing sights. Sunsets are incredible.
Having the lighthouse on the doorstep is such a lovely experience and your House Manager Mary is welcoming, helpful and on call if you need anything.
Remember there is no tv or wifi so it's a welcome break from the day to day.
There is plenty of space in the cottage and a room just for reading, watching the sea and possible sightings of sea life.
The kitchen is fully equipped. Stock up with provisions, enjoy the day trips around the amazing Wild Atlantic Way and watch the sea roll by. I can't wait to go back :)

It was a wild weekend of weather but we all felt safe in the keeper's cottage. Great location and lots of lovely walks.

If you are looking for a holiday that’s a little different try this, the cottage is clean, warm and comfortable. The lighthouse is amazing at night. The views around Loop Head are incredible. You can cycle the Loop (69k) and a visit to Bridges of Ross is definitely worth it. You’ll need to bring food supplies with you as Kilkee is about a thirty minute drive from the lighthouse, there are several large supermarkets there. Mary the house manager is very helpful and you can text her with your queries or for advice. Bring some board games or musical instruments for evening entertainment, there’s no television and internet connectivity is poor. This is a brilliant experience and I heartily recommend it.

Having stayed at the lighthouse in St. John's Point in Donegal previously, I had a good idea what to expect and my expectations were well met. I was really hoping for very bad weather to help fully experience the lightkeepers challenges during extremes of wind and a raging sea and I had booked for much earlier in the year when such extremes are more likely but due to Covid I had to cancel. I guess I'll have to try it again then.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the light keeper’s house. Beautiful old house fitted out with everything we needed. So peaceful and spectacular views. The fact that there was no TV and WiFi was an added bonus as it was a real break away. Even though we could not meet Mary due to Covid restrictions she was more than helpful and friendly in her dealings with us.
Would highly recommend a trip to this beautiful place.

What an amazing place to stay, from glorious sunsets, sea fresh air, cliff walks and schools of dolphins on your door step. In the evenings gather round the range and play board games or read or just watch the lights spin from a window. Mary the house keeper was so much help and easy to contact. We hope to return again very soon.

We have already visited Galley Head and the accommodation and set up is very similar. Mary, our host, was extremely helpful but, unfortunately, only spent a short time with us due to CV19 restrictions. She did manage to recommend the Long Dock in Carrigaholt approx 15KM away. The closest village is Kilbaha (5KM) but the pub there appears to be closed over the winter period. We went to the Long Dock on Saturday and Sunday just before it closed down due to CV19. Lovely pub/restaurant and the food was very good with extremely attentive and friendly staff.
The accommodation is basic but more than adequate and the beds were very comfortable. Cooking facilities are excellent if you want to eat in and there is an great Supervalu in Kilrush which is on route to Loop Head. No TV and phone access/WiFi is patchy. It may not have all the creature comforts of home but its a fantastic place to go for beautiful scenery and walks - unfortunately we were a bit restricted due to wet and windy weather. I strongly recommend you stand at the door to the lighthouse when its dark and look up - its Make sure you visit the Bridges of Ross that are close to the lighthouse. Strongly recommended.

We enjoyed this experience and the landscape trust were very accommodating to our needs we were met and looked after by Mary the caretaker whom then left us to our accommodation which was very comfortable. However, on the second night, we had a storm with high winds, this knocked the power supply and we took the decision not to stay a third night but it was a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend.

We have stayed out in Loop Head a few times before. It's a beautiful place to stay. The weather was wild but the house is cosy and warm, with a lovely open fire. Walking around the surrounding cliffs, gives you a perfect view of the power and wildness of the Atlantic. Not for the first time, I spotted pods of Dolphins out walking. If you are looking to get completely away from it all, I couldn't recommend it enough.

We stayed in Loop Head for a weekend in December, shortly before a Red Wind warning kicked in for the area. Needless to say, it added to what is always an amazing experience in the CIL / Irish Landmark Trust properties.

We stayed in Loop Head for a weekend in December, shortly before a Red Wind warning kicked in for the area. Needless to say, it added to what is always an amazing experience in the CIL / Irish Landmark Trust properties.

It is truly amazing what these incredible structures have been built to withstand isn't it? It is wonderful to hear that the storm added to the experience and you were comfortable and safe in the lightkeeper's house.

An excellent property, clean and cosy, warm and comfortable. The Lighthouse was open for tours and there was plenty to see on the peninsula too as the area is beautiful. Weather surprisingly mild and dry. Booking system helpful and easy to use. House manager friendly and competent!

a mad notion early April to mark our anniversary by booking this accommodation in a location we had never been before; we live in an area blessed with natural beauty and have celebrated many visits to other parts of our small island to savour others. This was our first visit to West Clare, and in particular Loop Head. Early Oct realistically is not going to give you the best of Irish weather but we got lucky with sunshine hours to walk and even discover with local knowledge 'The Hanging Gardens' of yore. You pay a premium for the restored accommodation, but it lacks for nothing - might be considered a tad expensive given it is self catering, but all facilities are provided to make this very viable. we thoroughly enjoyed a 3 night stay and the house by the way can accommodate a much larger party or family. Mary Geany was a treat to deal with. Many thanks, Landmark Trust.

Difficult to find the words to describe our stay at Loophead lighthouse. The cottage was a delight, very authentic and you felt like you had stepped back in time. The views and local walks were breathtaking. Peaceful and relaxing. Wonderful welcome from Mary and lighthouse tour guide was great.

We (family with three children) stayed at Loop Head lighthouse for two nights. The welcome and the assistance at check-in couldn't be better. Given the busy travelling time of August it was an absolute highlight to be all alone in the area between 6 pm and 10 am! There is plenty of reading material in the house for bad weather. The walk along the cliffs was spectacular and we suggest visiting the Bridge of Ross where kids can climb around. We can definetely recommend to stay at Loop Head lighthouse!

Loop Head Lightkeeper's House was a beautiful, cosy and peaceful place to stay. The house was supplied with everything we needed. It was clean, warm and welcoming with fantastic views. The history of the house and lighthouse is very interesting, and it felt very special to experience living at Loop Head, particularly after 6pm when everyone had gone and the place is just for the guests.

The walks nearby, along the coast , were easily accessible. The scenery and flowers were beautiful. There was not a sound at night, just the waves. The light from the lighthouse was magical, sweeping around the grounds and across the water. Binoculars in the viewing room allowed us to watch out for boats and dolphins !

The house manager and the guides at the lighthouse were very welcoming. They were all very enthusiastic about the place and made us feel at home. The people we met in the area were equally friendly and welcoming. There seems to be a great "pride of place" in Loop Head.

We last stayed in this lovely house in 2003 and little has changed. It is in the most delightful location as long as one enjoys the remoteness. The Light house visitors arriving from 10 am to 6 pm are indeed an intrusion but it is so nice that the accessibility facilitates exist to open the Lighthouse to all.

We loved staying at Loop Head. It is in a wonderful location surrounded by spectacular cliffs and if you are lucky with the weather (we were!) you are treated to magnificent sunsets over the water. The building itself is a dream - the former lightkeepers’ home with several cosy rooms to sit in and great views from the windows. You can take a guided tour of the lighthouse itself which is fascinating and well worth doing. Mary the manager met us to hand over the keys. She was full of helpful information and keeps the house beautifully. There is a bird colony a short walk away along the cliffs - with guillemots, razorbills and kittyhawks. We walked there and back at about 7 in the evening - our only companions were the birds, a small herd of cows and the slowing setting sun. Just brilliant.

We loved the location and hope return for another visit.
The walk around Loophead was fantastic. The weather was so nice on the Saturday morning we had our breakfast outside. On Sunday we climbed the 74 steps of the lighthouse to take in more fantastic views.
We have stayed in another Landmark Property in North Antrim and loved it.

Thank you so very much for your continued support of Irish Landmark Trust, by staying in the self-catering properties in our care. It is lovely to hear you had such nice weather for your time at Loop Head and that you had the chance to have a look around the lighthouse itself. The wonderful thing about Loop Head Lightkeeper's House is that the lighthouse itself is open to the public during the summer, along with the tourist information centre. We do look forward to welcoming you back again in the future we hope.

A group of us stayed here over a long weekend. It was magical. From meeting Mary our host who had the stove lighting and the heating on for us to our last look back at the tower of the lighthouse this was a brillant trip. Mary is great, very helpful and welcoming. This house has been restored faithfully, and was comfortable and cosy over a wild stormy weekend. The area is great, we walked along the cliffs each day and on our last day watched a school of dolphins fishing for hours just off the coast. We went for coffee and the most amazing local baking to Kilbaha Art gallery every day. There we got the warmest of welcomes and great local knowledge on walking, culture and music. We enjoyed all of them, the music and drinks in the local pubs.

It is always so lovely to hear how welcoming Irish people are, and what a lovely recommendation for things to do in the local area. We are delighted to hear you had such a magical time at Loop Head Lightkeeper's House. It is such a special location, right on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, and perfect for spotting wildlife out to sea. Thank you so very much for supporting Irish Landmark Trust by renting one of the 32 properties around Ireland in our care.

We loved our stay at Loophead! The property was very clean and comfortable. Communication between us and the house manager was very good.
Really enjoyed the landscape and isolation - would highly recommend a trip here if you want to switch off. I hadn't done much research before our trip, so happening upon the Eire neutrality sign was a lovely surprise - visiting one has been on our list for awhile.
Pro tip: Bring a torch. There was a storm one of the nights we were staying and the electricity went out - not a big deal as there is a lovely stove in the sitting room that kept us warm/gave us light. Added a nice ambiance to the whole experience and the electricity came back the next morning, anyway :)

We're delighted to hear you had such a great stay in Loop Head and glad to hear you made the most of the power cut. There is something special about spending an evening in the light of the fire. As you mentioned, it really is the perfect place to switch off from technology and the outside world and to just take in the stunning surroundings. If you ever want to escape from it all again, we'd love to welcome you to another Irish Landmark Trust property.

Surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean and the Shannon estury the lighthouse at loop head is a dramatic location to spend time. We battened down the hatches for a storm and spent quality time as a family. Watching the sea crash against the cliffs was amazing but our biggest thrill was always driving up the lane after dark and the excitment of seeing a working lighthouse in the front garden! What an experience.

It is fabulous to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Loop Head Lightkeeper's House so much. The lightkeeper's houses are such amazing places to stay in good weather but when there is a storm brewing they really become spectacular places to stay. Feeling safe and cosy when the waves crash against the coastline and wind howls in from the sea really is such an amazing feeling. Delighted you had a great time and we do hope to perhaps welcome you back in the future.

Great stay in a remarkable setting. Lighthouse is the last stop on a country road towards the cliffs. The views are spectacular and the novelty of staying in a lighthouse is well worth it. Great location close to the wild Atlantic way and it’s nunerous sights and attractions and a bit far drive to the burren National Park. Bring a few drinks and stock up on food and enjoy the light and stars at night. Well worth it. Would have been nice if a little more fuel was provided for the wood burning stove in the sitting room. Excellent stay.

This was our best stay for the week while we were having holiday in Ireland. Mary, our host, had the ready for our arrival and helped us feel very welcome. The house is in excellent condition and was a great surprise for the end of our trip for my mom, who loves lighthouses. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting. Loop Head peninsula was a great place to explore on its own and about an hour fifteen from cliffs of moher and Limerick.

We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday at Loop Head Lighthouse. It was a fantastic weekend. The cottage is so cosy & completely a different experience looking out on the beautiful Atlantic. The accommodation is comfortable & the kitchen has all the necessary items for self catering. Mary the host is amazing & so helpful! The walk around the cliff is beautiful & unspoilt especially the location of the Star Wars movie. Definitely one for the bucket list!!

My family had wonderful time at Loop Head Light House. It was like stepping back in time and a great time to relax and enjoy the family. My kids (ages 11 and 13) didn't miss televesion or wi-fi. There are wonderful hikes all around the lighthouse with beautiful views of the cliffs. It is also a great place to bird watch. My son especially loved that he found the location where a scene from Star Wars, The Last Jedi was filmed. The lighthouse is open for tours from 10 am - 6pm and offers even more breathtaking views of the surrounding area and you also learn about the history of some of the former lighthouse keepers. After 6pm, the grounds are completely yours. You can enjoy dinner and a few drinks at the picnic tables and then catch a beautiful sunset walk over the ocean. It is remote, but a 5 minute drive away is a small Bar & Restaurant, where can enjoy a drink and dinner on the water. 20 minutes away is Carrigaholt, with some great restaurants and ice cream. Then 25 minutes away is Kilkee. This is a very special place. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer, we were only there 2 nights.

It is always really so lovely to hear from guests that truly embrace the Landmark experience by cutting off from the world and tuning out from TV and Internet. And when we hear that even the kids enjoyed it as much, well that makes it all worthwhile. Thank you so much for mentioning this in your review and we know sometimes people can be worried about no connection to the outside world but when you stop, relax and take in the surroundings of a location like Loop Head Lightkeeper's House, then it really no longer matters. It actually turns out to be a real break and an excuse to stop and enjoy life in the moment with friends and family. Thank you so much for your support and we do hope to welcome you back again soon.

Staying in the last house before America, next to a working light house is amazing enough. But the location far out on a narrow spit of land adds to the feeling of being at the end of Ireland and yet cosily settled in a house renovated to modern standards but with a feel of 1930’s.

Charming and a true experience.

Thank you for taking the time to let Irish Landmark Trust know how your recent stay at Loop Head Lightkeeper's House was. It is a wonderful property, and yes it's location right on the edge of the coast of Ireland is really wonderful. Out of phone coverage, out of electronical distractions, literally out on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. We are very fortunate to take care of this wonderful property and we do hope that you come back to another Irish Landmark Trust self-catering holiday home again in the future.

We recently stayed a few days here. I loved every minute. It was very foggy for most of our stay but that made the lighthouse light even better. There's ample space for 5 people and the comfort of the beds is fantastic. Irish landmark trust were beyond helpful throughout the booking process. The coastline is stunning and it truly feels cut off from everything (but in a very comfortable way). I would recommend this to anyone.

We spent a very enjoyable weekend in this unique property in a wonderful location. The house is warm, snug and restored with taste and care to retain the original character. The location is magnificent - huge, dramatic skies and the magical lighthouse beam sweeping the courtyard in the evening. Plenty for the family (including three boys aged 14, 11 and 8) to do in the locality - we swam and walked in Kilkee on a beautiful September day - and good places to eat locally too.

We had a lovely warm genuine welcome from Mary on our arrival. The lighthouse was warm, and we settled quickly. It's very well equipped, and had no TV or Wifi which helped us all switch off. The bedroom across from the lighthouse is amazing at night once the light comes on. The tour of the lighthouse gives a unique insight and compliments the stay so well.
If you need a break from the frantic pace of life- look no farther. The children thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, played with the board games, and spent ages with the binoculars, and gazing at the keepers light.

Wonderful to hear that you had a lovely time at Loophead Lightkeeper's House and really embraced our no WiFi and TV ethos. It really is so great to read when people share our passion to really switch off and reconnect with family and friends or even enjoy some alone time away from the busy world. The light from the lighthouse really is super special and we are so happy to hear that the children in your group had fun. Hopefully it sparked their imaginations and lot of stories were told.

We had 2 nights / ond full day out there as a Family of four. Twins 16,5 years of age. Wonderful place, as we like remote places, especially light houses. We got key and briefing from a very friendly lady. There is a very well restored building, so there is only you at the place. From 10am to 6pm lots of visitors nearby, but not disturbing. Out of These hours absolutely calm. You only hear the wind in the fireplace. What to do: walk around the lighthous along the cliffs: wonderful. You see birds hatching in there nests.
Great Kilbaha Galery and Crafts Shop with Caffee in the village - pay especial Attention to the genious Knitwear of Ekotree, which is offered there. You can visit the designer and Producer in Doolin (near the cliffs of Moher).
The Little Ark at Kilbaha Church is very touching indeed.
The visit of the lighthous itself was very interesting, the guides are nice and competent (the Team is completely independent from the Irish Landmark Trust).

The lighthouse itself and visitor center does get busy during the summer season but I am glad to hear that you had the evenings to yourself to enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with staying at Loop Head Lightkeeper's House. We hope to welcome you back perhaps in the future at another Irish Landmark Trust property.

We had 2 nights / ond full day out there as a Family of four. Twins 16,5 years of age. Wonderful place, as we like remote places, especially light houses. We got key and briefing from a very friendly lady. There is a very well restored building, so there is only you at the place. From 10am to 6pm lots of visitors nearby, but not disturbing. Out of These hours absolutely calm. You only hear the wind in the fireplace. What to do: walk around the lighthous along the cliffs: wonderful. You see birds hatching in there nests.
Great Kilbaha Galery and Crafts Shop with Caffee in the village - pay especial Attention to the genious Knitwear of Ekotree, which is offered there. You can visit the designer and Producer in Doolin (near the cliffs of Moher).
The Little Ark at Kilbaha Church is very touching indeed.
The visit of the lighthous itself was very interesting, the guides are nice and competent (the Team is completely independent from the Irish Landmark Trust).

We spent four sunny, windy, lovely days as a family of four - two parents and two college student children. Absolutely loved Loop head. Grat views, comfy beds, good kitchen, and the entire lighthouse area was only ours after 6 pm. The guides during the day are friendly and funny. There is a steady stream of visitors and one of two campervans in the car park outside the lighthouse compound but it mostly felt very isolated and was peaceful. It was nice to be kept awake by birds instead of traffic, and there are many walks and trails with springy grass and spectacular views. Just remarkable.

Beautiful location. Spartan amenities (no coffee) and limited local options for groceries or dining. Generally clean but not suitable to have a baby on the floor.

We booked the Lighthouse Keeper's house just for the two of us during our weekend wedding.

Mary, the property manager and the Lighthouse staff could not have been nicer.

It was magic to return "home" each evening; go for a walk across the headland; enjoy the different views over a pot of tea in the upstairs sitting room (four seasons in as many days) ... and finally the Lighthouse itself when it came on around 10pm. Dawn walks were even better!

While the Lighthouse is a longish drive from some of the peninsula's attractions, it's all very doable in day or half day trips and there is so much to see and do in the immediate area.

This isolated house is an intravert's paradise - wonderful for recharging the batteries.

We have been bitten by the bug and will certainly book another Landmark Trust holiday!

We had a lovely holiday in Loop Head. the accommodation was great - very relaxing and refreshing. The people in the locality are very friendly and helpful. The food in the local restaurant was delicious as was the meat we bought from the butchers in Kilkee. There was plenty to see and do every day. All in all a great holiday

Just back from three lovely nights @ loop head. The cottage is very comfy and snug. Mary had the heating on so it was perfect. My fifth landmark trust stay and not my last. Just perfect. No phone signal, no TV. Just good company, books and a few bottles of fizz!
