This property is attached to Crookhaven Lighthouse which remains in the ownership of the Commissioners of Irish Lights and is fully operational. Although situated on Rock Island this is not a true island and access is along a walled roadway which connects to the Goleen/Crookhaven road. The location it truly stunning. From the glass walled Longhouse watch cormorants and guillemots glide through an arc of 270 degrees around the property. Off-shore, at a distance of 7 miles, the world famous Fastnet Lighthouse stands sentinel over the Western Approaches with the sweep of its beam (2,500,000 candelas) lighting up your dining table. 2 miles away is the village of Goleen with shops and pubs. Across the natural harbour of refuge of Crookhaven is the village of the same name which will welcome you summer and winter with a pint of Murphys or a bowl of Chowder. Beaches are close by with the vast Barleycove Beach only 3 miles away. The Mizen peninsula is rich in archaeology, history and flora.
