Sleep where lighthouse keepers once guided ships to safety, often in remote coastal locations with stunning ocean views. Many converted lighthouses offer unique accommodations with panoramic windows, spiral staircases, and the romance of maritime history combined with modern comforts.

โOne more flight of stairs and we had reached the kitchen. It was small but perfectly equipped, with the most incredible views on all sides. We decided to bring our own food and wine and stay in for the two nights, since the area is quite remote. A great idea in theory, but youโll get a great workout carrying bottles of wine up all 109 steps! Luckily, on your way up there are lots of places to stop and take in the incredible views.โ
โWhat a truly special experience even if it was the 4th time we've stayed at Wicklow Head Lighthouse (and we're already thinking about when to go again - I guess that says it all)! Where else do you have the chance to not only stay in the lighthouse keeper's house next to the lighthouse but IN the lighthouse itself? Welcoming warm hearted house managers will await you and once you have adjusted to taking all the stair steps up and down the lighthouse (you'll easily get used to it and wish you had it at home, too - what a good exercise) it will feel like home away from home. Charming rooms with deep windows that allow you to sit in them and enjoy incredible views all around, a fully equipped kitchen that invites you to cook delicious meals, a cozy living room with an artificial fire stove that keeps you warm when winds howl outside... This place is truly unique, perfect for a special surprize stay for a loved one or for unwinding and relaxing.โ
