Wicklow Head Lighthouse has safeguarded the scenic Wicklow coastline since 1781. This is a peace seeker's haven with inspiring and refreshing views of the Irish Sea. The landscape and scenery surrounding the lighthouse provide a perfect backdrop for a unique and memorable break. Special note: There are 109 steps to the kitchen, which is on the top floor. This property is surrounded by sea on three sides

  • Sleeps 4 people. 2 Double Rooms.
  • Welcomes 1 pet.

Second time staying, and it was every bit as magical as we remember. My son has been asking to return ever since we were here 5 years ago. Last time we stayed was in the Summer, this time in December and it's an amazing stay whatever time of year. So peaceful and calming, beautiful walks in the fresh air down to see the seals. Yes the steps are an effort, and it is an expensive stay, but worth it in my opinion. Warm, cosy, clean, comfy beds, spectacular views. Thank you to Brendan for being a wonderful host. We'll go again!

We recently stayed at Wicklow Lighthouse to celebrate my birthday together with my husband and 1,5YO daughter, and it was an unforgettable experience. The picturesque coastal views and the sound of waves created a serene atmosphere. The beautifully restored lighthouse blended charm with modern comforts, and the communication with the lighthouse keeper was smooth and easy. Exploring nearby trails and enjoying peaceful evenings in the Wicklow village made our stay truly special. I highly recommend Wicklow Lighthouse for anyone seeking a unique getaway!

What a wonderful time we had staying in Wicklow Head Lighthouse, the weather was terrible outside while we were cosy inside.
A gorgeous place to stay and well worth the money.

Thank you for your great review, it's a very old building, but if you keep the fire door closed, it does keep the building very cosy. I hope you can return again soon or visit another of our iconic landmarks.

What a fantastic experience. Beautiful location. Very cozy and comfortable. You need to be mobile as 109 steps from entrance to kitchen. Lots of towels and hot water. Would love to have stayed longer.

Thank you for your great review. The steps are amazing through the building, there was no other way to restore this building from a shell. They do keep our guests fit, many a race to the top has been had! The water is pumped from the ground floor to the top floor, a great feat for this amazing building!

We travelled to Wicklow Lighthouse for 2 nights / 3 days at the end of October. It really is a magical building in a most beautiful setting - especially at night when all of its lights are on. Quiet, peaceful and utterly relaxing - it is idyllic.

Wicklow Lighthouse was beyond our expectations. Decor, cleanliness were exceptional and for such an old building with sinle pane glass, it was warm and cosy. The views are mesmerising and we loved every single second of our stay.
My only criticism is the pricing. It is a once only experience as prices are beyond the budget for a weekend break or 2 day stay in Ireland, especially as all meals are at guests expense.


Andreena from Birr stayed at Wicklow Lighthouse for 2 nights in October 2024


Lorraine - Operations Manager replied 38 days ago
Thank you for your lovely review. Im sorry you thought the value for money was overpriced. For four persons on a two night stay, the price averages €100 pp per night. This iconic property was a huge restoration to save the building from being lost forever. We are a not for profit charity, your stay with us covers the costs of your stay in the property and part put aside to cover any future maintenance as and when it is needed, to keep this tower in its best condition for our guests. You holiday with us ensures this unique building stays an important, intact landmark in Wicklow.

Perfect place to switch off

Brendan, the caretaker greeted us promptly and gave us a thorough tour, and provided relevant information. He was easily accessible though we didn't require any further contact during our stay. The views were spectacular and the walking trails were lovely. The sunrises were glorious
The location was convenient to town.

Thank you for your great review of this very special property. Brendan is a great House Manager for Irish Landmark and is very helpful, he has a long association with this and other lighthouses across the island

The lighthouse is an experience that you deserve.

A time without TV, beautiful views, closeness to friends and loved ones. The rawness and ferocious awe of our Irish coastline catches you in your heart but the lighthouse makes you feel safe protected and able to enjoy the contrasting delicacy of nature and what it has to offer.
Enjoy, stop, breathe, laugh and love and have fun !

Guest from Carlisle stayed at Wicklow Lighthouse for 3 nights in August 2024


Lorraine - Operations Manager replied 96 days ago
Thank you for your review. Your score of 3 for condition is a bit concerning for us as in your private comments you disliked nothing and do not explain your reason for choosing such a low score. I do hope this was just a typo as the condition of this property is as good as the day it opened after restoration and wants for nothing, with thanks to the people who stay, as part of the rental is put aside to keep this property in great maintained condition. The amount of steps are very clear on the website, and to stay inside a 1781, 5 storey tower, if guests have a poor level of mobility, this is not the property for them.

Wonderful special place!

What an experience. The views. The walks. The lighthouse!

Sun holiday and get aways all blend into one. Not really memories just a blur of hotels, restaurants, pools and beeches. We will always remember our stay in the lighthouse distinctly. Once in a lifetime.

Thank you for your great review, as a charity we keep our costs as low as possible. As a not for profit company we cover our costs and put aside part of the rental for maintenance, and as you can imagine old properties are very expensive to maintain. Your stay at this iconic building keeps it secured for all to enjoy for many years ahead.

Wonderful stay

Guest from Malahide stayed at Wicklow Lighthouse for 2 nights in July 2024


Lorraine - Operations Manager replied 142 days ago
Thank you for your review. This landmark property is a bucket-list property and is always fully booked months ahead. This is why Brendan the local House Manager has to stick to the check-in/check-out times. Please understand he only has 6 hours from a guest leaving to the next one arriving, he has 6 floors to clean and present, all using the winding staircase, and his cleanliness and attention to detail ensures each guest receives an immaculate property, he is not prepared to let the standard slip. This is an expensive stay for two when the property sleeps four, I do suggest sharing this amazing experience with good friends or family.

A true find away from it all..

A beautiful airy light-filled and comfortable stay in such an excellent location. Brendan had everything organised for us thank you so much.. the location was excellent for hikes and walks. We walked along the paths closeby to the working lighthouse.. fabulous views and a lovely walk into and our of wicklow town as well. We had sunshine, fog, mist and rain.. yes a typical irish summer day.. but being behind 2meter thick walls in the lighthouse made this extra special. The lighthouse is beautiful inside with really comfortable beds and a seriously good shower in the bathroom. lots of books, games and again views to keep one occupied.. a true break away from the noise of today.. no wifi or TV which I appreciated.. The kitchen was well appointed but you are close enough to lots of different eateries in lovely Wicklow town if you didn't want to cook. This is my first time staying with the Irish Landmark Trust on one of their properties and I was seriously impressed and highly recommend the experience.

Thank you for your review. You scored this property a 3 for value for money which is concerning for this unique property and location. We are a not for profit charity and set our prices at a competitive rate. The cost of your stay covers light and heat, laundry and the House Managers wage. A small amount is kept aside to cover the continuous maintenance to keep the tower in its best condition. I hope you can appreciate the costs involved so we can share this fabulous property with all our guests.

I would recommend this unique holiday venue for a very rewarding experience. The views are stunning with spectacular sunsets. The lighthouse was very well maintained and equipt to ensure a very comfortable stay. The stairs in the lighthouse will have you fitter leaving than on your arrival. But sure, isn't that what it is all about in a lighthouse.

Thank you for your great reviews and scores, the stairs are great from the ground floor to the top floor, you definately learn to spend your day on just the top two floors as much as possible, where the views across the bays are the best.

Thank you for your review. Its a little dissapointing to read your value for money score, this is a totally unique property on the island of Ireland and booked out many months ahead, a bucket list stay with amazing character. It is priced to cover the costs of your stay and also ensure any future maintenance is covered, to keep this super old building looking, and working, at its best.

First time experiencing this sort of accommodation. It was well worth it , be it the view or the comfort of home. Both my sons aged 11 and 7 really enjoyed their stay and wish that we don't have to leave. What a way to end our stay in Ireland.

We did it and had a wonderful and exiting stay.

Wicklow Head Lighthouse is truly unique. We were made very welcome and really enjoyed our stay. The cliff walk was wonderful.

We stayed for three nights in March. What an amazing place and an amazing stay. Very unique.
The weather changed quickly which added to the stay, changing the feeling and views from each
of the windows constantly! Be ready for the stairs... but that just added to the whole experience!
If you get a chance to stay here I wouldn't hesitate.

This was our first stay at a Irish Landmark Trust property, hope they are all as good. The lighthouse had everything we needed. It was supper clean and our two year old said it was not just the best holiday ever but she also declared the bed was the best bed ever. She has been telling everyone she slept in a lighthouse and climbed to the top.
Brendan the property manager was hugely accommodating and great at keeping in contact.

Last week my husband Jim ,daughter Shauna & I had the most fantastic 2 days staying in this wonderful lighthouse & exploring the local area.What an generous Christmas gift from our grown up children.We received a warm welcome from John & his lovely mum Miriam.John was full of information about the lighthouse and locality.The information folders were very helpful too.What a building standing so majestically overlooking the sea.The lighthouse itself was warm,comfortable,clean & very well equipped.The views from all the windows were stunning.Loved sitting in the window seats listening to the wind at night.Even the 109 steps added to the experience ,like the views they did leave me breathless!! From watching the seals bask on their own personal beach to walking along the golden sands at Brittas Bay we just felt totally relaxed.We had rain,hail ,wind & snow but this all added to the magic.A big thank you to Miriam for clearing the snow of our car windows.We could have stayed longer.We had dinner at The Bridge tavern which was lovely.The rainbow over the river added to the magic of our trip.Would also recommend Strandfield in Dundalk for lunch if travelling down from the north.Our stay at Wicklow Head lighthouse is definitely in our top 5 family getaways.A big thank you to our family for this very thoughtful gift.A big thank you to all involved in preserving this fantastic lighthouse.Brendan,John & their lovely Mum show so much care & respect for the lighthouse and those visiting it.

So exciting to stay in a lighthouse and it surpassed all our expectations. We said our first 'wow' as we approached from the long lane and there were many more 'wows' to come! Fantastic views, comfy beds, adequately stocked kitchen. The bedrooms were very cosy - it was more difficult to keep the living area warm, but we used the electric stove and blankets provided and it was fine. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

Waited a year to get this booking and I'd wait another 12months to get it again.
If you want to switch off with a book, immerse yourself in a bygone life...record player days, cooking 109 steps up with unbridled nature on all sides book it, Chat to Grace, meet Brendan...fall into the rabbit hole and come out the other side smiling and shaking your head in disbelief at what life's really supposed to be all about.
It's beautiful in its simplicity and I'd wake up for those sunrises, sit on 3feet deep windowsills for sunsets all my live long days.
Loved it.

A truly great experience that you wouldn’t do anywhere else. Only go if free from distractions! I went with my two young kids and would have been better if it was just me and my wife. We did New Year’s Eve not sure if Summer would be better - it was certainly cosy.

Lots to do like walk Brittany Bay, go to Glendalough and go to Wicklow town. Local people extremely friendly and the Firehouse Cafe was one of the best lunches we’ve had.

If you’re looking for something different and want to free your mind I would definitely recommend it!

Wanted to stay at a lighthouse for some time. The location and setting is superb. The walk to the local beach with the seal sanctuary was stunning. The lighthouse is very comfortable and respectfully furnished.

We all laughed when we saw the 109 steps to the kitchen warning and it was great fun for day 1&2 but by the time you got to day 3 the novelty wore off.

The only real issue was that it was a cold weekend and the lighthouse has electric central heating which is not great. It’s a huge space that’s hard to heat and while the restored windows are beautiful, they don’t keep out the cold.


Kenny from Kilkenny stayed at Wicklow Lighthouse for 2 nights in November 2023


Lorraine - Operations Manager replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your review. A tip for the heating that the local House Manager advises, is to close the stair door. The radiator temperatures can be increased and there is also an additional heater in the living room to use on the coldest nights. The windows are not double glazed as this iconic property and kept as original as possible, as are all our buildings of heritage construction.

An unforgettable experience in a unique location.

We had a fantastic two-night stay at the start of November. It was wonderful to spend a weekend with my daughter and best friend in such a stunning location. The weather was stormy on the Saturday and we enjoyed playing board games and reading while cosy and warm in the lighthouse. Brendan and his family were so kind and helpful too. Hope to return again soon.

This is just the best place to have a memorable gathering. We switched couples each night so my son wife and their new born, my older sister and hubby, and younger sister and hubby all had a night there. Its immersive, the history and restoration work are fascinating. I felt I was looking after something very special. Beautiful and unique place.

An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Brendan gave us an informative tour when we arrived and told us about some local walks. We walked a short distance up the coast and the scenery was beautiful. We were lucky enough to be there during calving season so there were adult and baby seals on the beaches.

The lighthouse was very clean and surprisingly warm inside(we expected it to be freezing). It had a well equipped kitchen with most mod cons and utensils. The 2 bedrooms had ample storage and the beds were extremely comfortable. The bathroom was modern and clean.

If you're an early riser, walk down to the working lighthouse(couple of mins walk) and watch the sunrise over the sea!

Our stay in Wicklow Lighthouse was magical. The location was perfect for lovely walks and fantastic views of the surrounding area and sea. Only 3 km from Wicklow Town which was great for shopping and restaurants.
The Lighthouse was clean and inviting. The rooms had windows that we sat in to read and look at the views, really peaceful . Very comfortable quiet and snug for a break away. Highly recommended.

Such a unique experience, we loved it! My husband loves lighthouses so this was a milestone birthday present, we took our 15yr old along with us for 2 nights. Stunning location with easy access to town. We had fabulous weather so took advantage of sitting outside and nice walks. You need to bring your own outside chairs. Everything you could need kitchen wise is available and bedding very comfortable. Be prepared for sore calves with the step workout :) The only criticism I have is the check-in 4pm
and checkout 10am. Being so expensive the renter doesn't get the full 2 days and I really don't believe it takes 6 hrs to clean as again the renter needs to leave as found hence only the bedding and a general clean needs to be done. I imagine in winter it gets cold as night were chilly even with good weather.

Thank you for your great review of this unique landmark property. This property is fully booked for over 6 months ahead and most weekends in 2024 already gone. Because of the huge occpancy here, the times are strictly adhered to, to cover any unexpected accident replacements or repairs that may need to be completed before the next guest checks-in the afternoon you leave.

A good cardio workout!

Very efficient handover from the custodian. The lighthouse was much as expected with lots of steep stairs linking the rooms which provided a good workout. We were lucky with the weather but would not want to be there in the winter as the windows had lots of draughts and were not double glazed (even though a brochure on site said they were). Also it was somewhat damp as might be expected from such a venue.
The road to the site is very narrow and overgrown.

The novelty value and location made up for everything and we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your review. The winter here is very cosy, there is a door in the middle of the property that can be closed to stop any draughts. None of our properties are double glazed as this prevents our historic properties from breathing, this is why windows are also open on your arrival, this is an important necessity when the walls are as thick as this tower to prevent damp. The landlord has just cut the hedges to the property now the bird nesting season is over.

A wonderful stay, despite the weather

We stayed in Wicklow Head lighthouse for two days in August. Our two kids loved the place and wanted to stay for much longer. It's an easy drive into Wicklow town for a visit to Wicklow Gaol or shopping. The weather turned on our second day with the wind gusting and a big mist rolling in from the sea, but we felt wonderfully snug in the lighthouse.

Staying at the old Wicklow Head lighthouse was such a special and unique experience. Every window has a breathtaking view and the surrounding area is beautiful. There are a lot of steps up to the top but at 5 months pregnant I still found them manageable. The house managers Brendan and Miriam were lovely!

Thank you for your lovely review. The stairs are an amazing part of getting from floor to floor, its great to read they were not too challenging for you and you enjoyed time gazing out of the lighthouse windows.

The lighthouse we came to adore,
step by step floor by floor.
Strong and robust towering high, a savior for those who pass by.
A beacon of light on a perilous night.
A Mariners friend against rocky shore,
an Irish landmark worthy to restore.

Located in a missmarising area, with seal on the shore and surrounded by ferns and bush. Inside the lighthouse is well restored with cozy ambient and fancy forniture. From the Windows you appreciate some breathtaking views, from the ocean to the irish countryside.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this uniquely beautiful heritage building. The road to/from the lighthouse was not maintained it very overgrown with brambles. This risked scratching any cars travelling to/from the lighthouse.

Thank you for your lovely review. Unfortunately we are not responsible for the road as this is not part of our lease with the landlord. Our House Manager has been so kind to voluntarily cut back the worst of the brambles. We will follow this up with the landlord.

Fabulous!

Wonderful iconic building, perfectly preserved. Such a privilege to stay there.
My group enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Perfect scenic views, comfortable sitting room for great evening chats, every modern comfort in such a historic building. Unbelievable! The decor, especially all the unexpected extra touches like fresh flowers, the warm welcome of the perfect host...it all added so much to the unique ambiance. Such attention to detail, couldn't commend the hosts enough. Unforgettable few days. The steps were less of a challenge than expected (we are all over 70 yrs!). Well done to all involved - fantastic to see such a beautiful building in daily use. Long may it continue!

The best experience.. Myself and my husband, two kids and our dog Bogart had a great time. Place is spotless clean, more spacious than photos. We went to the blue restaurant which was a great place for sea food dishes.,but would recommend to prebook. Brittas bay beach for a swim is a close drive away . Fantastic walks around the lighthouse. Staff are so friendly and show great care in making sure you are comfortable. Wish we had more time there. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful time at this unique and beautiful lighthouse! The location is amazing with lots of walking paths by the ocean, and there is a nearby working lighthouse which is cool to see. There were some local ponies that came by during our stay which were lovely and sweet. The lighthouse is beautiful inside, and while there are stairs they are not that difficult to navigate as you are not needing to go from top to bottom all the time. Hosts are nice and were accommodating when we had a water pump issue. The only thing to mention is the beds being a bit uncomfortable. We think a pad or smoother/harder mattress would be very helpful. We would definitely return to this lovely spot and unique accommodation!

Dear Old Wicklow Lighthouse,

We wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience we had during our stay from May 28th, 2023, to June 2nd, 2023. Our time at your magnificent establishment was truly unforgettable.

First and foremost, we must commend the exclusivity and uniqueness of this remarkable place. The Old Wicklow Lighthouse holds a captivating charm that transports you to another era. The historical significance combined with the breathtaking views of the Irish coastline made our stay absolutely magical.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. Brandon Conway, whose attentiveness and dedication ensured that our visit was nothing short of extraordinary.
It was a privilege to be able to enjoy the exclusivity and charm of this extraordinary place. We will cherish the memories created here for a lifetime.

Warmest regards,

Gertraud and Günther Burghauser

Thank you for your lovely review. This is an amazing property booked out all year round. The water has to be pumped to the very top floor to supply the kitchen and is a great and unusual system, but dont expect the same flow you would get at home!

A very memorable trip for the kids

It was a great place to stay for our sons birthday. He will certainly never forget it.

The cliff walk nearby was also stunning.

Be very aware there are a lot of steps. It's a lighthouse! Not for anyone not physically fit enough to be constantly going up and down stairs.

I had stayed at the Wicklow Lighthouse with my 3 adult children in 2019 and wanted my husband to also have this experience. It is an incredible place! There are wonderful views on every level and from every room (except the bathroom!). The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. It must be noted that there are 109 stairs from the entrance to the kitchen. My husband is 76 and I am 64. We accepted the challenge and felt healthier when we left. True confession though: we only used the kitchen to heat up coffee in the morning and keep beverage cold. If I were to be doing a lot of cooking there, I'd be sure to bring a younger assistant...or eat light!

During our stay there was a bit of a land dispute with a neighboring farmer who had installed a gate to the lane access. His horses were often inside the second gate to the lighthouse without a water source. The situation was very much resented by the locals who are used to being able to walk about... but now have to climb a fence. Ourselves enjoyed walking the cliffs in the morning as well as the very friendly conversations we had with folks along the way.

The Conway family brings a sense of history to the lighthouse and they are certainly part of its charm. I was delighted to make Miriam's acquaintance again a felt like a long-lost friends. This is an amazing experience and a beautiful place. We give credit to the Trust for keeping it going!

Thank you for your lovely review, this is an amazing lighthouse tower, well done for returning, knowing the internal steps can be a challenge in itself, but very worth the spectacular views. The Conway family have cared for this property for over 30 years for Irish Landmark, they are as well known with our guests as the tower! Note - Our CEO visited the property and can assure our guests that the neighbouring horses, that do wander the entire area, are being cared for well and are very friendly. The access gate is now locked, as access through is only for the current lighthouse and the Irish Landmark Trust use, this has in the past been free access that the locals loved to enjoy.

Me and my partner really enjoyed our stay at the lighthouse. It really is a one-of-a-kind stay. The lighthouse is fully equipped and beautifully decorated. With it being an old building, there were bound to be a few plumbing issues, but nothing that would put plus off coming again! It was all part of the experience.

We were a party of two adults and a teenager and we stayed in the lighthouse for two nights. It was an amazing and unique experience. The views from each of the many windows were incredible, watching the sun rise over the Irish Sea from the window seat in the living area was fab. The lighthouse is kept in pristine condition, the furnishings are not luxurious but are very comfortable with a sprinkling of quirkiness in the window seats, the shutters and the books in a variety of languages. The stairs were easier than I’d imagined. The road leading to the lighthouse is very narrow and may require quite a bit of reversing should another car come the opposite direction (I was glad I wasn’t driving!) From this road we saw tiny lambs, rabbits and the best view we’ve ever had of a red kite. The area is a popular walking spot for locals and visitors to Wicklow, it’s very easy to see why. We could have stayed in a very fancy hotel for the same cost, but I’d take the old lighthouse any day.

This place is amazing, but be warned it it a long way to the top!

I would add a few things

I'm not sure it is suitable for dogs, unless they are very comfortable with Stairs and heights

If you have kids/toddlers be aware that the two bedrooms are 40 steps/2 floors apart and the stairs are extremely steep

The curtains need a slight repair, we improvised a solution to secure them to the hooks.

Last note, the oven was not working for our stay but that was organized to be fixed.

Amazing views, amazing location, brilliant hosts, once in a lifetime experience.

This is our most popular property, there is little reaction time to get emergency repair trades out during bookings, thank you for being so understanding until we got the cooker repaired. We also have quotes in for replacement blinds, its great to know we are on the right track planning upgrades that are also noted by the guests, thank you for your feedback.

Wicklow Old Lighthouse is a quiet, windy and rather cold place (as expected :-)). It is very worth to see and to join the experience of having some days off there. Brendan and his family are so kind tenants! Don´t miss the seals at the Bride´s Head (take cliff trail to Wicklow). Wicklow mountains are so beautiful and nearby to visit them by car. Nice place for visiting a running production of woolen products is "Avoca Mill". Nice place to eat in Wicklow: "The Bridge" pub.

We we very lucky to be able to stay in this wonderful place. It was such a breathtaking sight as we drove up and it didn’t disappoint once we settled in . Living area has a cosy feel and it was lovely to take a break away and slow the pace of life to just enjoy some family time. The kitchen ( right at the top ) was basic but to be honest it had everything we needed . Everything was spotless and of course the views were so beautiful as they changed throughout the day. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this gem to everyone

Kitchen sufficient to all our needs, bedrooms heated up nicely at night, with doors closed. Bathroom with power shower , spacious, and seperate downstairs wc. Stairs kept you fit, 109, not for faint hearted. Plenty of breaks taken.

Our stay in this lighthouse was a wedding gift from someone who knew us soooo well. It's always been a dream to stay in one and it was everything we had hoped for. Our contact called back within 30 mins of our initial check in call . Directions and instructions to meet for access were simple and he was there to meet us as promised. After a quick tour to the top (wishing I had remembered to bring our bags!) We were left to settle in to the amazing peace and quiet . The lighthouse was so warm and cosy, and so inviting to have a glass of wine, curl up with a book or just sit in a beautiful space and imagine the people who lived and worked there over the years. The beds were so comfortable and the views out over the sea were fantastic. The kitchen at the top had everything we needed,

Thank you for your lovely review. This property is hard to get because it is loved by so many. If you are a little unfit or have any mobility issues, this is not the place for you, as this property is a great leg workout to get from the bottom of the tower to the top kitchen. Great walks all around the lighthouse and catching a view of the seals is loved by all our guests.

Would highly recommend a stay at the lighthouse, such a different experience. With all the steps you get a work out even making a cup of tea. The scenery and views are stunning, we were lucky enough to get the stormy weather too. The cliff walk is an extra bonus especially if you get to see all the seals. We are working our way through the landmark trust properties and look forward to our next stay.

We arrived in a storm, which was interesting, but the weather improved and we were able to take advantage of the spectacular walks around the lighthouse. An unusual experience and one to be recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

Just a few things to mention for improvement:
The mattresses could be more comfortable

The road access is problematic for the following reasons: signage, potholes and gate padlock

Thank you for your review. Im sorry you had a few concerns with your stay. Both mattresses were replaced in the summertime, and have received great reviews since. The road to the property is not maintained by us but this has now been dealt with, and the pot holes repaired by the road owners. The padlock again, is not under our control, it was fitted by the landowner, to stop access to walkers. As a positive, this makes the lighthouse area more secure and private for your stay.

The Wicklow Lighthouse was amazing. It is 109 steps to the top level (Kitchen)..only 20 steps from living room to kitchen BUT truly worth every step. The walks around the lighthouse were great and road leads to the working lighthouse and the other (Twin) lighthouse. We enjoyed our time relaxing with tea/coffee in the living room and reflecting on what life in a lighthouse would have been like. The lighthouse offered enough amenities for two couples (two double bedrooms and one shared bathroom plus a half bathroom on ground floor).

Fabulous opportunity to stay in Wicklow lighthouse. Brendan and his brother John were friendly and informative. We had a lovely swim near by, after hiking a coastal trail that harboured some seal pups in small coves. Dinners cooked in a very adequate kitchen located on the top floor. Weather turned on Saturday night with howling rain and winds. Everything you want in a lighthouse, except the ceiling leaked lots of water and every window rattled. All to be expected in such a historical building that requires constant maintenance. Lots of steps to climb, so not for the faint hearted. Go there for the experience and take the fabulous with the not so fabulous and you will love it as we did!

Brilliant stay at Wicklow Lighthouse once you got used to 109 steps to the top / kitchen ! Very comfortable with well furnished rooms and comfy beds ! Clean and well appointed. Great views from all the windows in the living room .
Definitely a different and unique experience but well worth it !

A superb and unique place to stay with a fascinating history. The vantage point of the lighthouse is simply stunning with views of the coastline and local area, from numerous windows and cubbyholes for gazing out. We spent a very comfortable week enjoying having the lighthouse as a base to explore the County but as somewhere to bunker and enjoy being the 'keepers'. The welcome received was lovely and there were lots of tips on places to go in the venue. The kitchen, although small, has everything pretty much to cook a decent meal although the choices of places to eat out offer a wide range of choices. The stairs might pose a challenge to anyone who is very unfit but the bonus is that by the end of the week, you are definitely much fitter! We had a very memorable holiday, as did our dog (also fitter, and slimmer, by the time we left!).

We had a fantastic time in the lighthouse and exploring the stunning coast path. Such a beautiful building to explore. We were extremely lucky with the weather, and we had a hello from a grey seal! So peaceful, and I definitely got my steps in!
It would really add to the rustic feeling if the kitchenware (cups/bowls) were lighthouse/sea themed and local artwork was displayed that guests could buy. We have a copy of the book!! Would have loved to buy a postcard from the lighthouse to thank the people that bought us the voucher.

Lighthouse was an amazing place to stay. Amazing views from every window. Had the best sleep in ages. And great shower in bathroom. Be prepared to do lots of steps! We knew it had 109 steps. But didn't factor in you have to do flights of stairs to go anywhere. One flight to get a drink, 3 flights to go to bathroom. 4 flights to get your book etc. So not for the fainthearted!! But brilliant place to stay. We'll be back!

Loved staying here, and found it a magical escape from the day to day. The steps are a good work out but if you have a mobility issue be warned they are indeed 109 and deep steps - but the house is so safe and beautiful that if your legs are fit it's a treat to run up and down those stairs! Love every aspect of it.

Hi Everyone,
This was our third visit to Wicklow Lighthouse and it's a must for the bucket list! We tried different seasons and none disappointed, every time was special. The shorter days and wilder weather in Winter is an experience not to be missed. Summertime is beautiful too and you have to capture the dawn and sunset on the horizon. Every day is different and well worth getting up very early for. If it's peace and serenity you seek try a visit. There's something very special about being on the headland. The lighthouse itself is fabulous , a very unique place to stay. Stan the dog loves it too even if he's getting a tad old now for all the steps Our hosts are such an amazing , lovely family. Extremely welcoming, organised, helpful and available if you need anything ( not that we did as everything was just perfect!) The walks around the headland itself or to the inlets are super. Don't forget to say hello to the localsIf you're seeking a super special heritage place to experience this is it!

We loved staying here. Long summer eveings with walks down to the working lighhouse and ro spot the seals and amazing sunsets. It was cozy with everything you need. You really do get used to the steps! It’s a narrow road up to the lighhouse but only once encountered another car who backed up for us. Lovely unique place to stay while exploring Wicklow and surroundings! Highly recommend.

This was an outstanding experience and a highlight of our four-week holiday in Ireland. The lighthouse is just excellent! Wicklow is a lovely town and the lighthouse is just close enough to enjoy the town and far enough to enjoy the solitude and wonderful views. The lighthouse is in outstanding condition and the host is wonderful and helps ensure an outstanding experience.

Wicklowhead lighthouse is not a luxury accommodation. It does not have Wi-Fi or tv or the most up to date conveniences. Everything may not work perfectly and there are a great many stairs to contend with. Nevertheless the experience of staying there is so extraordinary, so magical that none of those things matter. The beauty, the peace, the sense of history and timelessness at Wicklowhead seep into your soul and still your mind. Wander alone along the cliffs amidst the sounds of seabirds or perch in a window to watch the rising sun illuminate a fox’s morning prowl. From a month long trip around Ireland, a country brimming with stunning vistas, fascinating stories and warm people, this is the one memory I will carry home closest to my heart. Thank you National Trust for making this place available.

Thank you for your perfect explanation of the Irish Landmark Trust experience. Our properties are steeped in its former historical setting, few of our properties were residences of ornate interiors and we reflect this simple, very comfortable lifestyle the past owners lived, for guests to experience this step back in time, with minimal modern outside interuptions

The accommodation is exactly as described, very comfortable, light and airy.
All the things you need to know with regard to heating etc were well explained.
The stairs are a challenge, but again we knew about that before we arrived and by the time we left we could trip up and down with ease.....a fitness work-out included in the price, who needs a gym!

The phrase once in a Lifetime is thrown around a lot but this really is one!
You’ll never get an experience quite like staying in a lighthouse dating back to 1781 at the edge of Ireland with incredible views and a secret seal beach nearby
We didn’t venture past Wicklow head over the 2 days, the views and nice walks meant we didn’t want to
The 109 steps in the lighthouse are NOT for the faint hearted! The lighthouse is converted to a home very cleverly. You’ve everything you need in the house. Would highly recommend!

Our family has had a wonderful week in The Old Lighthouse.
We experienced all kinds of Irish weather with all its unique impressions, especially colours and sounds of nature.
The Lighthouse offers stunning views all over the coastline and the sea.
We would like to point out the comfortable facilities of the Lighthouse, the loneliness of the location and the coastal path linking the Lighthouse with Wicklow. It was fun to watch the seals from the steep coast and visiting the new lighthouse 5 minutes walk away after dusk.
The location of the Lighthouse enabled us to visit the spectacular sites of Glendalough, Clonmacnoise, Rock of Cashel and also Kilkenny and Dublin.
What a wonderful week - thank you very much indeed!

Had an absolutely brilliant time staying at Wicklow Head lighthouse - I booked this a long time ago on a whim and ended up gifting the stay to my brother and his family who were visiting from abroad. The kids had a wonderful time spotting bunnies and seals, painting the view from the many windows and playing the boardgames. I'd highly recommend this trip to any adventurous souls - it really exceeded expectations. The bedrooms were roomy and warm, beds extremely comfortable, kitchen well equipped for the meals we cooked and the bathroom facilities were great - lots of hot water and great water pressure. A full bath too! Great local walks and a lovely village nearby. Couldn't ask for more.

Beautiful lighthouse in excellent condition. Had a lovely time.
However it was extremely disappointing that there were absolutely no condiments provided, the basics such as tea, coffee, oil etc. (and please don’t blame covid19, sachets come individually wrapped).
Also the check in check out times are too tight. We literally had one day there, too expensive for that.

Thank you for your review. We are reviewing our guest arrival items. Condiments are not provided due to hygiene rather than post covid handling. We are hoping in the future to source local sustainable welcome items. The popularity of Wicklow keeps the house manager to strict check-in/out times, this is our busiest property and cannot be as flexible as our other properties.

We really enjoyed this unique experience. It was surprisingly cosy on a stormy evening and it's great for catching up on reading because there's no TV or wifi. There is lots to visit nearby.

A great experience. Awesome setting and views at sunrise and sunset. Beautiful details in the interior. Hot water, good shower. Well equipped galley type kitchen. Only challenge was the old brass bed, which is quaint but the mattress has long since lost its spring!

We stayed here recently, 2 adults, 1 12 yr old child. The building itself is amazing. The drive up the lane from the main road is a bit hairy, 1 vehicle track, a few blind bends and limited places to pull in. Once you get there we were blown away, couldn't stop taking photos of it. The stairs aren't for the faint hearted, I would consider myself as fairly fit but on the first day lugging bags up to the kitchen on the top floor I thought I was going to have a heart attack on the third floor.
The caretaker Brendan gave us excellent directions from Wicklow town, showed us the heating and water timers, handed over the keys and wished us a pleasant stay. He gave directions for a cliff walk and told us we may see a few seals.
We went on the cliff walk and thought we would see a few seals bobbing about in the sea but we were pleasantly surprised to see a colony of seals on the beach. We've never seen as many seals in one go in Ireland before.
Getting back to the lighthouse, it's very well maintained, warm, comfortable. The window ledges are deep enough to accommodate two people sitting in them. There are many walks locally, we went down to the newer working lighthouse late evening and observed the light shining across the sea. This area is also good for star gazing as there's very little light pollution. At the entrance to the property there is a gate set into the entrance, there is a facility for the gate to be locked in the open position, there's a right of way going through the property and we found the gate in the closed position twice during our stay, people wonder around all day so the outside isn't very private but once you're inside who cares. One small niggle was the shower, the temperature gage was stuck in the 3rd degree burns level so a shower was impossible however there is a bathtub. Overall an excellent stay, and you do get used to the numerous steps.

We spent three nights at Wicklow Head Lighthouse over the New Year period. It was magical. The views from the lighthouse are breathtaking. We had everything we needed for our stay. The bedrooms are cosy and even more so when you're tucked up with the wind howling outside. The steps are not for the faint hearted and our advice is be very organised, you don't want to find yourself thinking that you left something you need in the car. We were two adults and two children (13 and 8 years old). The kids adored it. There are great walks nearby and the local town has everything you'll need by way of provisions. We could not recommend the lighthouse enough. The house manager was really helpful and everything was as advertised.

What a lovely weekend we had at Wicklow Lighthouse. It is close enough to walk to Wicklow town along the coast from the Lighthouse. We saw some seals at close proximity along our walk which was amazing. The beds in the lighthouse were quite comfortable but a little squaeky. The kitchen certainly kept us fit as it was at the top level of the lighthouse. So unusual. We enjoyed the downtime and played a few games and had a few drinks. Nice to get back to nature. Overall a great experience.

This was our last place on our 16 day stay in Ireland and we were very pleased. Beautiful views. Amazing lighthouse. Host was great. Plenty of hot water when we figured out how to make sure it wasn't too hot. Even though the kitchen was on the top, we didn't mind because we barely went up there. We will stay again.

The drive up to the lighthouse is down a narrow bumpy road. This adds to the mystique of staying somewhere remote, but the overgrown thorns could scratch your car and could be a bit tidier.
We were met by the house manager Brendan, who is a very warm and friendly man which is a great start to any experience.
Staying somewhere so remote is a bit daunting, but the secure ground floor puts your mind at rest.
The lighthouse has been tastefully restored and refurbished and it is kept extremely clean. The kitchen is full of everything you need and the living room is comfortable for quiet evenings.
Additional bonus is improvement in your fitness level after staying for couple of days (109 steps really do the job!) and if lucky with the weather, breathtaking views of the landscape and skies full of stars at night.
The only negative is that the beds are broken and mattresses are extremely uncomfortable. They need to be replaced.
Overall, it was the most unique and memorable stay we had and would love to return again.

Our stay in Wicklow head Lighthouse was truly a memorable stay. As the lighthouse appeared in front of us as we drove up the passage, we got so excited with the thought we were actually going to be staying there for a few nights. Lovely comfy beds, cosy sitting room, well equipped kitchen and amazing views out of every window await you. Highly recommend staying here.

Staying at Light house was amazing and unique experience. The whole surrounding area is absolutely fantastic with beach, hill walking ...I felt like I was in Greek Island. It is quite pricey, but it is worthy. I realized that there are lots of beautiful hidden places in Ireland. Definitely no point in going on a foreign holiday this year.

Myself, Jane and our two children booked the lighthouse in 2020 after receiving a voucher for my 40th birthday and had almost forgotten about booking it. However once you get there, see the amazing views, stayed in the lighthouse, our experience will now and forever be unforgettable.

Brendan, was an amazing host, brought us through the do's and don'ts of the place but with the views and the walks around the lighthouse, we all had an amazing stay and something that will stay with us for a long time.

It was the perfect short stay in Ireland in a place that has so much history.

Thanks again

We loved staying in the Wicklow Head lighthouse. The property is fantastic and so unique. It was all very clean when we arrived and the views are amazing on all floors. The kitchen is well equiped with cooker, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster. We felt very fit after traipsing up and down all the steps between the floors and it was a cool part of the experience. I would definitely recommend this property.

It's a really different venue. We stayed for 3 nights in Sept. and enjoyed it even more than we hoped.

There isn't a TV so bring a book, or a 4g modem and a laptop if you're not able to disconnect (we had good coverage leaving the modem on the window ledge).

We loved our stay in Wicklow head lighthouse. It was always on our bucket list and we were lucky to get it as a last minute deal. It was a nice surprise how big it actually is. And we loved every minute we spent there. All clean and tidy. Highly recommended for anyone who loves adventures. As it is an magical experience. It was our 7th Irish landmark trust property we stayed, and it never disappoints. And our dog loved it as well. As the beach is just a short drive away.

A once in a lifetime opportunity to live in a lighthouse for a weekend. The109 steps to the top were well worth taking for the breathtaking views. The house manager was so helpful, the lighthouse pristine and the seal colony in the beach within meters of the lighthouse was quite unique. My favourite part was sitting in the window reading a book for hours. Would fully recommend.

Its a beautiful place to stay but it could do with a bit of modernisation, especially the kitchen. If a dishwasher was installed that would go along way, also the c.c.t.v needs attention.

From start to finish our stay and arrangements were handled so professionally; from the booking office and arrangements with our house manager Miriam, the customer service was first class. Such an important property, so great to see it restored and in use. The sea views are amazing!

My husband and I spent two lovely nights in the lighthouse in early September and found it to be such a good experience we are now looking at the other lighthouses around the country. No WiFi or Tv so take plenty of books and go with the aim of chilling out. We ate in both nights and found the whole experience very relaxing. The beds are very comfy and the sitting room was a lovely space to relax in. The kitchen is 109 steps right at the top and while perfect for two maybe a little tight for four. Definitely and experience to be repeated.

We stayed in the Lighthouse during the last weekend of August and being Ireland we had the full range of stormy weather (fallen trees), windy but dry and then glorious sunshine, which allowed us to enjoy the full spectrum of the Lighthouse experience. An amazing place to be cooped up when it is kicking up a storm outside, watching the waves crashing on the cliffs on the Cliff side walk into Wicklow town and then watching the Seals sunbathing & playing in the waves in Seal Cove (less than 1 km away). The Manager Miriam was excellent, even arranging for the clearance of the fallen tree!

We had an excellent stay in the property, it was really well presented and very clean and comfortable. There were stunning views from every window. The host was very helpful and recommended some things to do in the local area. Although the property felt remote, it was only a short drive into the picturesque town of wicklow. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique experience.

Stayed in lighthouse with my husband and 2 children (8 & 9yrs). We loved the cliff and sea walks on the doorstep. The seals on the secret beach were such a bonus. We brought loads of food so enjoyed family meals and cards each evening. Without any TV , we throughly got to relax and just be. I would definitely recommend staying. Bring wet gear and good walking boots. Bring plenty of food. And then enjoy the sound of the sea and wind as you breathe in the fresh air.

We made this booking months ago. As it happened our stay coincided with the first full week of the anti-virus measures being implemented in Ireland. So it was a great relief to get away from it all for a couple of days. Living in a lighthouse, even for a short time, was a dream come true. Although we never met the caretaker because of social distancing protocols, she was very helpful over the phone. The only quibble I had was the temperature inside. Despite all the heaters it was never at what I would regard as a comfortable indoor level. But that is minor because we thoroughly enjoyed everything else. And the stairs kept us fit and indeed warm.

I've always wanted to stay in a lighthouse and my daughters surprised me with a family 2 night stay in Wicklow Head Lighthouse. What an amazing 2 days and nights. The location is isolated and quiet. I absolutely loved it. Walks on the cliffs, our dog listening to the sheep, wondering if he could take off for a look. In his dreams maybe, he's nearing 80 in human years. We viewed from afar (not wanting to disturb) a huge seal family sunning themselves on the nearby beach. This beach was hidden away and we came upon it on our cliff walk.
But back to the lighthouse. What an honour to spend 2 nights in this historic building. Our hostess was wonderful, so helpful and kind. She settled us in and left us contact details if we needed her and then left us to our own devices.
Each floor of the lighthouse had a different function - 1st - a bedroom, 2nd the bathroom, 3rd - a bedroom, 4th - a cost sitting room, 5th - the kitchen. We were well toned after the trips up and down the stairs. But it was such a treat we didn't mind.
Highly recommended for a different getaway. We totally loved it.

Loved loved our visit. Very cosy warm and authentic way to see a different part of ireland. Tower is remote enough to feel you are away from the world but close enough to wicklow Town to meander if out and about.

We baked, played games, read our books debated three world problems and bonded as a family without the every day distractions of TV and phones.

Advice bring your own food so can really settle in and enjoy everyday living in the lighthouse. Definitely one for the bucket list

We had the most amazing 2 nights staying in an actual lighthouse!! There are so many windows,each with a different gorgeous view and all rooms are so bright and extremely well used space. Unexpectedly warm,we did not feel it was January. Cozy,clean and comfortable,a truly magical experience. There are so many things to do and see around, and an evening spent there makes you forget about the real world. Recommend it for couples or families or just friends wanting something magical!

Unique experience to stay in a former lighthouse just before Christmas 2019. Views were fabulous. Great fun going up and down stairs to various rooms. Really scenic views from beautiful quaint old windows. We were lucky to have sunny weather in December which enhanced the cliff walks. Amazing to see over 100 seals on brides beach. Also to see other lighthouses close by.

I anticipated a bit climb to the kitchen and I was not wrong. Lots of steps aren't a bad thing though!! Miriam gave us a great welcome. The lighthouse was well laid out. Everything was provided and everything very clean. Even though the heat was on all the time, in the evening the living room was a little cold but it was to be expected as its open plan (there are doors into the bedrooms and bathrooms). But we were able to make ourselves cosy with all the things provided. The visitors book had 2 lovely drawings of the lighthouse from some kids who had stayed recently. Very sweet. Overall it was very nice trip, something we'll reminisce about for a long time.

We drove up on a sunny day so on arrival could take in the beauty of the location, it was a pinch me moment, is this really all ours for 2 days? The tower stands proud, impressive, and inviting.
Once inside the wow's continued.
Words cannot express how special this place feels, you are immediately immersed in its history, I wanted to know all about this place, it was fascinating.
We usually holiday with our accommodation as a base and explore locally. We didn't do that for the 1st time ever, the reason being we fell in love with this magical retreat and had found our peace, we sat in the window watching the storms come and go for hours.
Practically it had everything, comfortable beds, couch and window seats, warmth, well equipped kitchen.
From booking to exit the experience was perfect.

I've always wanted to stay in a "real" lighthouse so expectations were high - Wicklow exceeded them. There's a real wow factor to this place - the building, the landscape, the seascape and the wildlife. We stayed over a windy October weekend and I thought it might be chilly but once the heaters were turned on the rooms were warm and cosy in no time.

A once in a lifetime experience, lovely Wicklow Lighthouse is a perfect escape. Surrounded by nature and a walking distance (one hour hiking along the shore) to Wicklow town, short driving distances to beaches. The main attraction is the lighthouse itself, which is lovingly restored and furnished and provides stunning views to all sides. The property managers go out of their way to make you feel welcome and the encounters with locals were equally friendly and charming.

Four of us stayed, myself, my husband and two kids (11 & 13) for 3 nights in August. We loved it. The lighthouse is unique and we loved our stay. It is kitted out very well and was spotlessly clean for our arrival. It was a great base to explore Wicklow too. And there are lots of lovely walks in the vicinity of the lighthouse itself.

My stay was wonderful! Secluded, but still only a few minutes from the next town. The view is great. You can walk to the other two lighthouses which makes for wonderful little afternoon or morning trips. The rooms are lovely! Just curl up on a window seat and watch the world go by or to read a good book. It's so tranquil!

It is pretty expensive, but the experience is more than worth it!

We had two great days in and around the lighthouse ! The views - what a surprise - just stunning. Walkway to Wicklow with some nice beaches and a lot of seals. Both bedrooms, bath, kitchen (cutlery could have been cleaner) and living room are fitting to the accommodation. It has met our expectations and we can highly recommend a stay in the lighthouse. Welcome and farewell by the manager easy and friendly !

Myself, my partner and our 3 kids (15,5 and 2)had a magical stay. Gorgeous views, full of wildlife, highly recommend taking the little path down to the pebble beach to see the seals. Great location for beaches, Glendalough, local shops. We were wrecked from all the steps, but it was worth it for a really different kind of holiday. The kids loved sitting on the window seats and looking out to sea(we're from the Midlands so seaviews are a real treat). Miriam was a great host. This was definitely one of the best family holidays we've had. This was our second Irish Landmark Trust stay, will certainly book again. Highly recommended.

Staying in this magical Lighthouse was worth every sore muscle! Yes, there are 109 stairs up to the kitchen, but every stop along the way up provides such amazing views of the surrounding countryside it all seems worth it!

My husband and I adored our stay here. The lighthouse caretaker was very welcoming and informative upon our arrival. The rooms were clean and decorated beautifully for the character of the place. There were many window seats where you could relax and watch the sea and the sunsets. To add to the ambience there were fragrant lillies on the ground floor and in the living room that were so gorgeous! The surrounding grounds include several trails to the seaside, other lighthouses, and interesting ruins of an old cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the area.

I think for an active family this would be a spectacular choice...or for a couple wanting a romantic get-away!

( to add some practical info: There is a powder room on the ground floor, and a full bath with shower/tub combo and very hot water a few floors up. There are some games and books In the living room area, and a radio but no TVs. My husband and I both used our cell phones here and had no problems getting a signal (AT&T and Verizon) ; The kitchen is well-equipped for basic meal prep.)

The lighthouse is beautiful! Perfectly secluded for quiet walks, but yet still close enough to town. Watching the sunset is a absolute must! It was an amazing experience, and a perfect choice for our last couple days of our vacation.

My husband and I and two friends stayed in the lighthouse for two nites in March. What a wonderful experience it was. It was absolutely magical and so unique. The Managers Miriam and Brendan are so welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. The lighthouse house is spotlessly clean, cosy and so much fun. The views over the Irish Sea and country are just fantastic. We visited the beautiful Mount Usher Gardens nearby in Ashford and took a beautiful walk along Brittas Bay also very nearby. I highly recommend a stay in this lighthouse if you get a chance!!!

We stayed at the lighthouse for 2 nights and had a great time. It was very easy to get in contact with the administrators to get the keys, and they have been very friendly and helpful in explaining the particularities. The venue was very comfortable and a special experience. All was clean and working very well, the venue is very well equipped. We very much enjoyed the accommodation.

Driving up on a blustery, misty afternoon, our first sighting was of the Lighthouse almost covered in mist. It looked very mysterious, bleak but exciting. It was surprisingly bright, cosy and comfortable inside. The 109 steps to the kitchen was a great work out.
Everything you could possibly need was provided.
It was a very pleasant experience. The walks around about were wonderful. Great wild life. Spotted a seal in the little hidden cove and plenty of cormorants resting on rocks.
Highly recommend it.

Irish weather added to the atmosphere - mist swirling around us, rain beating on the windows, gusts of wind howling! Electric heating throughout which made rooms cosy. Bring fleece pjs / onesies and slippers to curl up with! Lots of stairs (109 from top to bottom) but well worth the effort up and down!! Incredible views and great photo ops. Super location to explore the rest of Wicklow.

We stayed as a family of 4, kids 10 and 8 years old. We had amazing weather which allowed fantastic views from every window.... Stunning. We knew there were a lot of steps so no complaints about climbing!! The bedrooms were cosy, comfy and warm. Living room cooler but it was February in a lighthouse... Heaters and jumpers did the trick! Hosts were great.. Good restaurant advice and easy to contact. A one off special weekend!

It was a cold the 1st night - perhaps January wasn't the best time to visit, but otherwise quite comfortable. When all 4 rings on the cooker were switched it tripped a circuit breaker. It could do with some ambient lighting in the kitchen.

I was getting married on the 13th of December to a girl who lived near the lighthouse, we’d passed by it many times. So when I was looking for somewhere to stay for my groomsmen it made a great choice especially as my dog was with us too and we’d all driven over from England.

We have lived in Wicklow Town for 10 years and come to the Lighthouse on Open Days, and sometimes walked down to the current lighthouse with its imposing buildings for the lighthouse people. We were told by someone that one of these was reserved to the CEO Irish Lights, but this turns out not to be so. This time we came as part of our 80th Birthday celebrations and were accompanied by our daughter and her young son on one night and by one of our sons and his wife on the other. We got very healthy exercise doing the 109 stairs. Three of us walked down to the new lighthouse, where the once lovely garden is now in ruin,(this is Irish Lights responsibility) but we saw the Light in action. Wicklow (in which my wife and I live) is in easy contact and we went there for dinner in the "Lighthouse" restaurant second evening.

For years we have known this beautiful lighthouse and we have finally been able to stay in it for 2 nights.
Everything has been fabulous, from our arrival to find it fully illuminated at night, warm and with natural flowers. All perfect.
It has been a magnificent experience in every way, we have found a special and magical place, in a wonderful environment and we have enjoyed our stay there.
We only wanted to stay for a few more days !!!
We have felt at home and we have found everything even better than expected (for some previous comments).
It has been the best birthday of my life !!!
I want to thank Miriam and her family for their kindness and the dedication with which they take care of this special place.

This is the second time we have stayed at Wicklow head lighthouse. We stayed in 2009 when we visited Ireland and when we planned for this visit we arranged booking our flight on the availability of the lighthouse. Everything about this accommodation is special and unique. It is warm and cozy and the beds are as good as any first rate hotel. The bedrooms are large. The living area is snug and cozy with great window seats to enjoy the views or to curl up and read a book. The hosts Miriam and Brendan are the most wonderful and generous people. This is one to check off your bucket list.

There are five floors with lovely forniture and fresh flowers. The lighthouse is in an isolated place surraunded by the sea which is about 5 minutes walking.
The lighthouse is readjusted to hosting up to four guests and at the top floor there is not the light but a kitchen.
The house manager was very kind and suggested us a path to a beach full of wonderful seals!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay in Wicklow Head Lighthouse and that you were very well looked after by the local House manager. It's a truly stunning place to stay. In this property there was never a modern rotating light in place. The tower was built in 1781 and would have had a large fire beacon lit atop the tower. We do hope we can welcome you back to an Irish Landmark Trust property some time in the future!

Me and my husband had twice previously looked into booking Wicklow Head Lighthouse for a stay, but never got as far as booking it.
Third time we followed through to the end and are delighted we did. So much so I want to go back again for another stay. And everyone I've told wants to come with us.
The lighthouse is magical and the surrounding views amazing. I got an excellent timelapse of the sea and passing clouds.
The 109 steps are a bit of a task, but once you have all your food and drink install at the top, you can stay in the lounge for the most of your time here, so you don't have far to get your vittles.
We brought music to listen to and a great selection of table top games, so we kept ourselves entertained the whole weekend.
A big shout out to Miriam, the property manager. She had the place set up perfectly and was very helpful when I contacted her regarding something that was left behind at the lighthouse.
Highly recommended.

Absolutely delighted to hear that your long awaited stay at Wicklow Lighthouse was so wonderful and that you had such a great experience. The 109 steps to the kitchen at the top of the tower are certainly not for the fainthearted, but once all settled in it adds to the experience of staying in an actual lighthouse. Miriam, our Local House Manager, is just fabulous and we are very lucky to have Brendan and herself who care so much about the guests and the property. Hopefully we will have the chance to welcome you or friends back to Wicklow Lighthouse, or perhaps another of the 31 heritage properties in our care throughout Ireland.

Yes, there are 109 steps to the kitchen! We always joke with guests, but really mean it, to make sure they take a flask. That way you don't have to keep going up and down for their cup of tea! It is really wonderful to hear that you had a lovely time at Wicklow Lighthouse and that it was a bucket list goal ticked off.

The combination of life in the lighthouse and nature makes this holiday an unforgettable experience. It's great that Miriam and her supporters are lovingly committed to the preservation of the lighthouse in this form. Even if the tower is round, it has its corners and edges and it no longer shines in its full glory. But that's exactly what makes the tower. If you love the unadulterated, you've come to the right place. The furnishings meet all requirements and the beds, in particular, allow a restful night's sleep.
From Wicklow there are many possibilities for hiking. With the "Dart" (suburban train) one is fast from Greystones in Dublin. Also the Cliff Walk around the peninsula Howth is absolutely recommendable.
We still talk today about the great days and surely come back to the lighthouse.

We had an absolute ball, the whole ambiance was perfect.
The views to die for and loved watching the weather changing from the height.
Was spectacular opening front door and seeing a jug of lilies on table, such a welcome, and there where flowers on every level.
Miriam was delightful could have talked all day, didn’t get to meet the wonderful Brendan, BUT maybe next time.

When staying here you don't need a lot. We only rented it for the weekend and went shopping prior to our arrival. In the evening we took a walk to Brides Head to try and spot some seals. It was at treat for the boys!
The lack of wifi and TV is forgotten after spotting some! You can get offline like it should here.
The owners are very kind and the basic equipement was enough to get us through the weekend!

Wonderful to hear that you had sun and storms at Wicklow Lighthouse - it is great when guests experience the lighthouse in all kinds of weather as it adds to the thrill of staying a safe place, protected from the world. We do hope that you have lifetime memories now from your stay and perhaps will come back to visit another Irish Landmark Trust property in the future.

Everything was ok, as expected. The road to the lighthouse is difficult to find and it is very narrow. This should be made clear as a big car can easily get damaged by the vegetation on the sides of the road, i.e. thorns.

In the basement there was a "chemical" smell and the pump is very loud.

There is hardly network connection for mobile phones which makes it difficult to call help in case of emergency.

Thank you for leaving your review Joerg and also for staying at Wicklow Lighthouse, one of the 32 properties in the care of Irish Landmark Trust, a non-profit organisation. Your comments have been noted and passed on for review. Irish Landmark Trust properties, given their location and in some instances the materials they are constructed from, mean that there can be very little mobile reception in them. In the case of Wicklow Lighthouse the walls of this property are deep in their construction in order to withstand the blows from storms and bad weather on its coastal location.

We actually plannend our trip to Ireland just to get the occasion to live in a lighthouse once. At Wicklow Lighthouse we could even sleep in the tower itself (not in a neighbouring building as elswhere) which was just an unique experience and made us feel like „lighthouse keepers“ for three nights.
Our house keeper Miriam was very nice and helpful and the lighthouse was decorated with beautiful maritime objects.
We enjoyed our stay very much also because of the beautiful views, the silence and nature.
We would come to this beautiful place again!

Our party of 2 couples in their 40s and a dog spent 3 nights over a weekend at the lighthouse. We wanted to try something different and knew the area was beautiful for walks. Miriam was absolutely lovely to deal with, warm and helpful. The setting is out of this world. The lighthouse is absolutely lovely inside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The all round Ireland yacht race was on,we watched from right outside. This place is suitable for able bodied people and older children because of the stairs, but it’s well worth the climb.

What an experience. The location is fantastic. We were able to sit out (weather was perfect) and look out over the cliffs watching the world pass us by. The comfort of the lighthouse (once your legs get used to steps!) was superb, and sipping a glass of wine while sitting in living room reading and every now and then looking out the large windows at great views. Just made you feel good.
We will do it again.

Thank you for choosing to stay at an Irish Landmark Trust property. As a guest you are helping us in our mission to save, share, and sustain Ireland’s built heritage.

We went to the lighthouse for a short stay, and it was a wonderful experience. Yes, you'll get more luxurious furnishings in a 5 star hotel, but nothing will beat the character and romance of this place. If the wind howls, it feels even cosier inside, and if the sun shines, the 5th floor living room provides amazing views of the countryside and sea. A magical experience and highly recommended

We loved our stay at the Wicklow Lighthouse and will remember it forever. The house manager was so very thoughtful in preparing for us - there were plenty of fresh linens, fresh flowers throughout, board games for the family to enjoy in the evenings, and brochures suggesting area attractions. The lighthouse itself was cozy and just a short drive (or longer, but doable, walk) from town. Just be prepared for lots of stairs (as advertised)..thankfully, the gorgeous views from both above and below make the walks up and down them well worth it. We'd definitely stay here again. Our entire family enjoyed every minute of it.

We only had two nights in the lighthouse but would have liked to stay longer. We had a great time and loved every minute of it. The manager was very accommodating to us and allowed us to check in early. However I feel that the 10 am check out is too early, especially when the cost is not cheap.

Thank you for your recent review of a stay at Wicklow Lighthouse. Irish Landmark are delighted to hear that you had a nice time during your stay. With regard to your comment about the departure times, I am sure that you can appreciate Wicklow Lighthouse is an exceptionally busy property that has back to back bookings. With 109 steps to the top it takes some time to turn around the property after a guests departure in time for the next arrival. We need to ensure that all our properties are ready for the next guest and delay the departure time of the departing reservation will mean a delay on the arrival reservation.

A weekend in a lighthouse is costly - but it's an unusual experience so worth it. The building was warm and welcoming - especially the hall, bedrooms and bathrooms. One of the posts on the brass bed was loose, however, and the drawer cover on one of the small drawers in the kitchen came away, but these are very minor considerations.
I loved the silence and absence of TV - the weather was absolutely awful the weekend we chose so it was good to have Wicklow nearby. The key on the gate required "a knack" which was tiresome to master in the dark, in rain, and standing in a puddle. A newer lock might work better.
On the hugely positive side, the lighthouse was a wonderful experience - to read Brendan's memoir was very informative - No telly was great - it meant we read and played chess. We learned to live with the requirement to climb (many) steps to make a cup of coffee. I've been to St John's Point and Loop Head Lighthouse's - both spectacular, but neither offers accomodation within the building and so Wicklow is my favourite!

We had an amazing stay in Wicklow Lighthouse and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Miriam met us at the lighthouse and was extremely helpful in showing us round and how everything worked. The property is in amazing condition and it well kitted out for a comfortable stay. We recommend that you bring warm clothes in winter as you do feel the cold but aside from that we had no issues.
There are lovely walks nearby, including one down to a small cove where you might see some seals (Miriam kindly told us about this one) and it's in a great location for getting in a out of Wicklow town without any issues.
Looking forward to staying again.

It was a privilege and a joy to experience the “Wicklow Lighthouse” its history and beauty!❤️

Well if the Scott's say so then it must be so. We are just delighted to hear that you had such a great stay at Wicklow Lighthouse. It is a wonderful property to be able to share with people and share the Landmark Experience with them. It might not feel like your holiday is anything but a relaxing indulgence, but when you stay in an Irish Landmark property, you’re part of a community that’s helping to keep heritage alive. Each of our properties has been carefully restored, but it is the guest – and all those who visit – who add the essential heartbeat that gives new life to these properties. Really hope to welcome you and your family back to stay.

A novel venue, gorgeous location. Lots of steps, be warned. But worth it. One room per level (x 6 including ground floor entrance). Lovely setting, though quite hard to heat and dining a bit cramped. These are minor quibbles for a glorious place.

Staying at the lighthouse was a unique and unforgettable experience. We have really enjoyed our stay there. The lighthouse is in good condition, maybe needs some upgrades (mattresses very noisy, poor hand-shower, and strange smell in the living room). The property manager Mrs Miriam was very friendly and very helpful.

We had a brilliant couple of day's in the Wicklow Lighthouse and enjoyed the stunning views in all directions ! Washing up at the top was a pleasure and I also appreciated the workout up and down the stairs. Everything is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and beds so comfy! Little touches added to the stay! Being greeted at the door with lights welcoming us and fresh flowers. This was a great place for touring from and we thoroughly enjoyed Powerscourt Gardens and Glendalough on route back to Dublin. We got to see two seals! Maybe the one in harbour being fed was same one??! I would highly recommend this property for a magical holiday.

We took our 2 children down for a two night stay. We arrived the day before Storm Ophelia. We cannot compliment Miriam enough for her care and consideration during our stay. It is a lovely experience for children but they would need to be very comfortable with stairs. However our nearly four year old managed with no problems. It was the perfect if some what windy place to be stuck in a storm so long as you have plenty to entertain the kids. Note there is no television or wifi. The accommodation is comfortable clean and so unique.

Miriam is great and we're not surprised one bit you were so well looked after. Thank you so much for the wonderful review and we hope you and the kids can come stay with us again soon.

Great to hear you had a nice stay at the unique Wicklow Lighthouse. Arrival and departure times at very busy times of the year unfortunately must be occasionally strictly enforced at the lighthouse due to how popular it is. The House Manager only has a few hours to prepare the property (all 6 floors up 109 steps) so it is very important to ensure the same standard of welcome is offered to all guests.

Something very different and special !

Our favorite airbnb ever! Not only is it a lighthouse (amazing in itself), it's in a gorgeous location over the Irish Sea. The views are incredible from every floor and window - and it's infinitely prettier and more comfortable than you might imagine a lighthouse would be. There are beautiful walks in both directions and Miriam who cares for the lighthouse is lovely and very helpful. Vacation heaven! ️

It is amazing! All the windows tell a different story of headland, sea and sky on three sides and iconic Irish countryside on the other as you go up the staircase. Loved sitting in the window seats that the metre thick walls create. The bedroom and living level were comfortable and the kitchen had a space above it which meant for great acoustics playing the music system we brought with us as we cooked food. It was not without some physical effort to stay here - walking up and down the steps particularly -but that physical side to it is what makes it possible to imagine what the lighthouse keepers' experiences would have been like here. The walks around the headland were wonderful as well as the one down to the beach with the seals. The people in Wicklow were very friendly and we found good food and wine there.We had a sunrise over calm seas and then a night time storm and every minute was very memorable.

It certainly sounds like you had all sorts of weather which is always great fun at Wicklow Lighthouse. There are definitely a lot of steps alright - you would not want to forget anything from the kitchen in the evening time! Delighted you had fun and hope to welcome you back perhaps in the future.

Myself and the hubby stayed here for two nights. What a wonderful experience. We felt honoured to stay in such an old historical building. The lighthouse is tastefully decorated and has all the essentials required for a comfortable stay. Soaps and washing up liquid etc supplied. Bedding so comfy. It's not the Ritz but wouldn't want it any other way as it's keeping with the age of the building. There's nothing nicer than sitting looking out one of the many scenic windows watching the rabbits hop about the place and the views of the sea are stunning. Lovely walks around and Wicklow Town only ten minutes away in car/taxi. Enjoyed the steps all 109 of them, a nice refreshing G&T was well deserved at the top. If you want something different, quirky and just to unwind this place is for you.

We shared this with another couple and had a wonderful time. The views were outstanding and the hiking in the area was lovely. We were able to view pods of dolphins and seals frolicking in the waters. Our stay was lovely and if we were to do it again we would stay longer. I would not recommend this Lighthouse stay for those with young children or adults with mobility issues. There are 109 steps to the kitchen and almost as many to the bedrooms. You must be in good physical condition for all the stairs and keep in mind this is a restored lighthouse. The only drawback is the numerous people coming through the private signs and ignoring them and some even walking up to the lighthouse trying to open the door.

We stayed here 18 years ago and enjoyed it just as much this time as last.
It is well located - close to Wicklow and not too far from Dublin. The atmosphere is relaxing and Miriam and Brendan are good hosts. Their assistant always brings flowers and locates them around the house - that makes for a bright and specially warm welcome.
The weather was good and the views are amazing from the lighthouse. The walk down to the working lighthouse is enjoyable.
End!

This little gem is the perfect place to calm down and forget your everyday life.

When you arrive, you clearly understand why all locals and tourists want to go there and have a walk along the coast - it's just marvellous! You can have a 30-minutes-walk to Brides Head to see some seals or you can take your car (which you definitely need there) and drive 20 minutes either to Glendalough (lake + mountains) or to Brittas Beach (sandy beach + ocean) - every direction is a delight!
In Wicklow town there are a few nice pubs and restaurants where you get really good food for a fair price.

The lighthouse itself has everything you need, from towels to kitchen supplies and after a few days you aren't bothered by the stairs anymore ;)
The rooms are clean and spacious and although it gets quite cold during the night (due to the stone walls = no modern isolation) you have electric heaters in every room which produce more than enough heat.
The welcoming was very warm and also the support throughout the time (the WIFI wasn't working on our first days) was great and helpful.

We had a terrific time there - which was of course also because of the fact that we didn't have any rain but sun on all five days of our stay - and would highly recommend everyone to take a break from all the stress and enjoy some days at Wicklow!

The lighthouse it's self was fantastic. The location is second to none.
But....
The fire alarm wasn't working which was a major concern and constant worry for us while we were there. The fire panel was partially hidden behind a sign and it was silenced in an alarm state. We only noticed it the second day because of this.
On the ground floor the water tank burst open a few days before we arived. It had been repaired but the amount of damp in the lighthouse was very bad. There was dehumidifier's going constantly.
I understand that these things happen outside of anyone's control, however, we should have been made aware of them before the arrival. I'm sure we would have not stayed knowing there wasn't a functioning fire alarm.

Stayed here for a weekend break with friends and have to say it was immensely enjoyable.Beautiful walks along the coastline but the highlight of our stay was the lighthouse it's self. The 109 steps to the kitchen is a killer the first time!!!! It has everything you need for a comfortable stay but its the quirkiness of the building that makes it so enjoyable. Sitting in the lounge in the evening listening to the wind outside with no TV is so magical and relaxing it has to be sampled to appreciate it. Will definitely be returning. P.S. Getting up at 4.30 for a glorious dawn is well worth it!!!

We stayed two nights in the lighthouse at Wicklow Head. It is a wonderful self catering location for walks and views. We were luck to have great weather during our two day stay. It was a very authentic setting. The stairs were tough work, so holiday makers should be happy they have the energy for them before booking.

The advert had said there was Wi-Fi available. There was not during our stay- but we were happier without it.

We went as a family of 4 (kids if 11 and 8) We all really loved being in the light house and spending tîme walking around too!. It was a very seclutive and peaceful experience. We spend the day walking around beautiful parts of Wicklow and after a great warm and relaxing shower, back at the top of the world to read, eat and play cards!. We are recommending it to all our friends!.

We stayed here in late February. On the first night we were in the eye of Storm Doris and the white noise was amazing! We felt very secure within the three-foot walls of the lighthouse. The next night was very calm and the stars were shining brightly. Brendan was waiting for us on arrival and the welcome was really lovely. We also really enjoyed reading his autobiographical Irish Lighthouse Stories. We had our two teenage daughters with us and we all enjoyed a really nice walk around Wicklow Head and down to the beach. We would love to come back again.

If you ever get the chance to stay in this lighthouse, definitely do! We were welcomed extremely warmly and made to feel at home from the beginning. Wicklow is called the "Garden of Ireland" for a reason- certainly lots to do to keep you entertained. Very cosy to be wrapped up in blankets whilst listening to the wind howling and the sea outside the lighthouse! A memorable stay, will definitely be back.

We had the most wonderful short stay at the lighthouse , blessed with perfect weather . The stairs weren't as challenging as expected ! Super comfy warm beds , well stocked kitchen and the best book nooks ever . The house hosts were welcoming and easy to communicate with , we loved our visit , the surrounding area and will be back next year . A special special place to watch the world go by :)

Staying at Wicklow Lighthouse is an unforgettable experience. We were there for very stormy weather which was wonderfully atmospheric but did mean that we didn't get out to explore as much as we would have liked. Instead we enjoyed the novelty of life in the lighthouse - the children, in particular, had a great time roaming around. It's a very cosy set-up inside, with gorgeous views, comfortable living spaces and charming bedrooms (with thick wooden doors that meant they stayed lovely and warm). And we did manage to see some seals down at Brides Head on our last day! I would highly recommend a stay here. We will definitely be returning.

fantastic experience staying in Wicklow Head lighthouse. Lots of stairs but worth it! If you have the choice, stay in the upper bedroom - fewer stairs because it's between the bathroom and the living room, and has a lovely domed ceiling.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to let Irish Landmark Trust know how about your recent stay at Wicklow Lighthouse. We are delighted that you had such a wonderful time. I always tell people to pack a flask so they do not have to go up and down the stairs for their cup of tea. Hope to welcome you back soon.

For years we wanted to stay in this magical and robust lighthouse. We absolutely loved the tower with all its stairs and the dreamy views from the different windows. Reading the book written by the host-who used to work in different lighthouses-added an extra dimension to our stay and so did the baby seal our daughter discovered after a hike to a beautiful and peaceful beach nearby.

We went to the lighthouse for our honeymoon and discovered that it is a gem on the Wicklow coast. The lighthouse boasts stunning sea views and is surrounded by beautiful walks. Wicklow town is in walking distance and there is plenty to see along the way. Miriam and Brendan were attentive and welcoming hosts. We are looking forward to returning to the lighthouse one day!

We were lucky to have sunny blustery weather. The views in every direction were amazing. The lighthouse was decorated extremely tastefully. Everything was perfectly suited to give the impression of living in a bygone era, yet it was cozy and comfortable with good quality bed linen and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Even fresh lilies in the sitting room! I had expected it to be cold but thanks to storage heaters the first thing you notice going in the door is lovely warmth! Listening to Brendan and reading about his experiences as a lighthouse keeper made our stay more interesting. We had an amazing unforgettable weekend.

I had a wonderful stay at Wicklow Head. The lighthouse was very comfortable and equipped with everything I needed for my holiday. Mariam and Brendan were very helpful and accommodating, and have well maintained the building and its contents. The grounds and surrounding walks were wonderful and I highly enjoyed the views. At night I loved sitting and watching the active lighthouse's beams sweep over the sea. Staying in such a historical structure was a great way to end my travels in Ireland and I would definitely like to return on my next trip.

We stayed with two children (6 and 8 y.o) and we all absolutely loved the lighthouse. It was fun and unique, and a great relaxing vacation. The children picked blackberries and made a pie, we visited the beach to watch sea lions and walked to the working lighthouse near by. Would make this a yearly event if we could!!!!!

The Wicklow Lighthouse is a wonderful and unique place to stay. To truly appreciate the lighthouse, the town, and the people you should stay at least a week. If you enjoy a rustic home away from home experience this is a real slice of paradise. Buy groceries in town, visit the local pubs & restaurants and enjoy the lighthouse sunsets, wind and sounds of the fox at night. If you have questions or need assistance the management is like family, always kind and helpful.

Myself, my husband and our 12 year old son spent three days in Wicklow Head Lighthouse to celebrate a 'significant birthday'. We had intended to explore Wicklow county, go for walks etc, but the Lighthouse was so special, comfortable and unusual, that we hardly strayed from it at all! The kitchen, although small, was actually perfectly formed and it was a real treat to be able to cook great food without having to walk to and fro across a large kitchen, as everything was to hand immediately. The living room was really comfortable and my favourite spot was sitting in one of the large window seats with the comfortable cushions making it a 'hide-away'. I read my book there for hours at a time, looking up from time to time to see the changes in the landscape. The two bedrooms were really clean, bright and most importantly, had really comfortable beds. The bathroom provide for vigorous showers, unlike others places in the country. The stairs winding up and down were one of the stars of the show and we loved walking up and down them seeing out the windows at such an elevated view. Miriam and Brendan were excellent hosts and extremely friendly and helpful.

What a fantastic privilege to stay at Wicklow Lighthouse. From the house manager's warm and genuine welcome to the locals stopping for a chat on their walks around Dunbar Head to the incredible sunset colours shining through the windows of the lighthouse in the evening, everything was just spectacular. The 109 steps to the kitchen are "fun" shall we say but just take a flask of tea/coffee with you on your way down and you will be grand. Rates worked out well as we spilt them between the 4 of us and I'm already planning the next stay. Well done to house managers, Irish Landmark Trust and everyone else involved for saving this special building for us to stay in.

This is an absolute amazing site with extraordinary view of the East Irish coast. A fully restored lighthouse of more than 200 years gives you ambiance and charme, but is not a modern hotel or cottage. But even for mid-seasons cooler nights the Lighthouse is well equipped. Recommended for those who appreciate a historic ambiance and a remarquable site without restrictions.

Wonderful experience both in terms of comfort and scenery.
The lighthouse bedrooms are 5 star in terms of comfort , the room was very warm (February stay) and the bed was just perfect.
The shower was hot and strong. The living room was lovely and cosy, the kitchen was able to handle a fairly formal 3 course dinner for four with ease and fun.
The walks down to the working lighthouse were very interesting especially at night, I have never been at eye level with a lighthouse beam before a real experience and one for the books.
We intend to visit more of your property's

I would highly recommend the Wicklow head Lighthouse
It is one of those experiences that everyone should do at least once
Miriam was a great host and really helped to start off the short break and a great note.
The panoramic views from the magnificent 200 year old Lighthouse where are stunning
We would also recommend the walk along the cliffs into Wicklow.

All in all, probably the best short holiday with ever had

From the moment we arrived we clicked into relaxation mode. Our house manager, Miriam, was warm and friendly. She was a true professional who's love for the lighthouse was very obvious from the outset. After giving us "the tour" she recommended various places of interest and local restaurants. We stayed at the lighthouse for 3 nights in early February. While we were out and about during the day sightseeing both my wife and I looked forward to returning to "our lighthouse" at night. The sight of it all lit up as we approached each evening was just brilliant. As the winter winds whipped up around the lighthouse we were warm, cozy, safe and secure inside. There is the odd rattle from the Windows (or is it the ghost ?) but it just added to the character and charm of the place. This was a belated Christmas present for my wife and I was a bit apprehensive as to whether she would like it. I need'nt have worried. She loved it from the outset and deemed it a magical place. If you are thinking about staying in a lighthouse I would highly recommend the Wicklow Lighthouse, you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I had a wonderful 3 days in Wicklow Lighthouse. Despite the presence of a storm the accommodation was warm and comfortable. Miriam was extremely helpful and welcoming and made us feel at home. Yes there are 110 steos but once we got used to it the journey was not too bad. The views from the windows were spectacular and the walks around the area were scenic. We would fully recommend the Lighthouse and hope to return some time.

A wonderful place to relax, despite the windy weather at times. The welcome was fabulous, the rooms very comfortable and everything we needed was there. We'd love to go back, though maybe in summer next time!

We enjoyed our stay at Wicklow Head Lighthouse over the Christmas period. We received a heart felt welcome from Miriam Conway on arrival. The lighthouse was immaculate and well furnished . We experienced storm Frank's windy, wet conditions but we were well insulated inside the lighthouse. We had a lovely evening meal in the newly opened seafood restaurant - The Lighthouse restaurant in Wicklow town. We would recommend a stay at Wicklow Head Lighthouse if you wish to experience a remarkable and novel adventure.

I brought the trip for my girlfriend for a surprise present to the lighthouse as it has always been a dream of hers. It did not disappoint, the lighthouse was beautiful comfortable and just great in every way. We will certainly be returning in the future and would recommended be it to anyone. It was decorated for Christmas which was a lovely touch :)

This is a fantastic location, the building is stunning, there are lots of things to do locally and even if the weather is bad (and it was for our first day) the sights and sounds at the lighthouse are pretty awesome. The lighthouse itself had been beautifully decorated prior to our arrival with fresh flowers and Christmas decorations.(Thank you Miriam) This place is what you make of it, its not a spa its not a hotel its a lighthouse and a very unique one at that. It has all of the comforts you need, yes there are steps to climb yes it is out of the way but it is very peaceful with a seal colony nearby, beautiful views of the ocean and only a short drive from Glendalough and Powerscourt. I would love to be here in the summertime when the scenery must be even more spectacular.

We received a voucher for Irish landmark Trust and left it a bit late to book it earlier in the year when the weather would be more suitable.
Miriam the lady who looks after the venue could not have been more helpful, The rooms were spotless as was the entire building. The kitchen area is cold and not comfortable for eating in, but I guess we were in a lighthouse in Ireland in winter.
We really enjoyed our stay but wonder the need to vacate a property at 10.00, it seems early even allowing for cleaning and necessitates getting up very early on what is meant to be a relaxing weekend.

kind Regards,
Billy

What a fantastic holiday! We loved the lighthouse, a very special place. We had a lovely welcome from Miriam. The children, aged 2 and 5 were really taken with the novelty of the lighthouse, the many stairs, the window seats and the echoing noises. They can't wait to go back! It was so cozy and warm on the dark winter evenings. Lovely to come back to the lighthouse in the pitch dark and see the windows lit up against the sky. Needless to say, possibly not a location for a very young child not steady on their feet due to the stairs! Loved the lighthouse - we have already recommended it to our friends!

Had an excellent time at this property, wonderful location and suitably atmospheric. Miriam the custodian and her son Brendan were lovely and a wonderful help to us (especially when our car battery failed on a dark and stormy first night). If you want a unique getaway then I would definitely recommend this property - everyone (including my two teenage sons and the dog) enjoyed their stay.

Stayed here for a bank holiday weekend and enjoyed every minute. A totally unique experience. Wonderful scenery and the views were amazing. So cool to live in your own lighthouse. We will always have great memories of our stay. Couldnt find a fault from start to finish. Its hard to describe ,you just have to experience it really.

Fantastic time was had by our two boys (11 and 12) and ourselves. The building was a treat and a real experience to stay in a 230 year old lighthouse. We had storms on two of the three nights which were part of the feeling connected with the people of old who braved the stormy seas and kept the lights working for their safety. We were warm and cosy inside with the metre thick walls. We were very well lapped after by Miriam and Brendan who are the house keepers, and the stairs did wonders for our fitness! There is a lot to do in Wicklow with wonderful walks and scenery and many nice places to eat. Highly recommend a visit to Wicklow Head Lighthouse.

There are not too many lighthouses one can stay in and this was a fabulous experience! The location (and views); the quality of the old lighthouse restoration; the standard of accommodation and appointments; and, the personable service by the hosts was fantastic. A lovely place to stay with plenty of history and interesting activities in the local area.

An amazing building in a beautiful spot. Loved the experience. There was a problem at check in but customer service was great, fixed that night & we moved in the following day. You would need to be reasonably fit as there are a lot of stairs to climb, but it's worth it. Water pressure is not great in the kitchen on the top floor, but you would expect that in a lighthouse five floors up!
Amazing views out of the windows. Beds were very comfortable and clean. Shower could have been hotter, but you don't choose to stay in a lighthouse for the luxury :-)
Everyone should stay there at least once.

This was a fantastic and unique location for a number of reasons. The setting is incredible, surrounded by fantastic views of the Wicklow coastline. The cliff walks provide a great opportunity to explore the coast, and there's a great chance you'll encounter the local wild life with several coves playing home to large pods of seals. The lighthouse itself is incredibly cosy and taken together with the surroundings will provide a truly memorable visit for anyone interested in staying there.

We had a fabulous time at the Wicklow Lighthouse, it's a magical place to stay. There are beautiful walks close by and a little pebble beach where we saw some curious seals. It was the perfect time of year for blackberry picking which sorted out the topping for our porridge in the mornings. We had an 11 month old with us and it was fine, there are a lot of steps but it didn't pose a problem and the big chest coffee table was the perfect barrier to block the stairs. The window seats were the perfect place to curl up with a book in the evenings. We will definitely be back and I would highly recommend it. The only complaint I would have is that check in is 4pm and you have to check out by 10am. We were there for 4 nights so it didn't overly impact us but if you were only staying a night or two it would shorten the stay.

This was a dream of my husband's - and it came true. I loved it too. We got lots of exercise climbing all the stairs! The lighthouse was in excellent condition, so clean and welcoming - thanks to Miriam and Brendon. The way it was furnished throughout was just right. We also loved the quiet. We hope to stay again in the future. A wonderful time for both of us.

Approaching this wonderful place means that you forget all the problems you have at office. Entering the light house means that you forget all tasks which were open when you left office two days before. After the first night you forget even all passwords you have been using up to now. Luckily there is no public parking next to the light house. Making sure you will find your car after the second night in the light house, because the one standing next to the light house must be yours.

Spending three nights in this beautifully restored lighthouse was great fun. It's unique layout includes a ground level entry reception with toilet, first floor bedroom, second floor bathroom (with combined tub and shower), third floor bedroom, fourth floor lounge, and top floor kitchen. The bedrooms are light filled and comfortable, the kitchen was well supplied and provided an attractive table and benches for mealtime conversations. The lounge while offering beautiful window views seemed a little less cozy and fresh. The location of the lighthouse offers interesting walks along the coast, visits to restaurants in Wicklow town, easy access to the Seamus Heaney exhibit in Ashford, and ample golfing! Over all great experience.

We're a family of four and we stayed at the lighthouse for 2 nights at the end of July 2015 for our birthdays. We all had a brilliant time, we were blessed with good weather (but a storm would've been fantastic too). Apart from the fantastic views and walks around the lighthouse there's lots to do in the local area, just over an hour from Dublin it made a great and easy mini break.

The Irish Landmark Trust has converted the ruin of the historical lighthouse into a quirky, cosy home, exploiting all the architectural possibilities in an intelligent way. Of course, it is very difficult to maintain the building in good condition, given the exposed position on top of the hill in this marine environment. On the other hand, this exposed position is also instrumental in providing the amazing views in every direction.

For some of the previous guests, the 109 steps up to the kitchen were apparently a challenge. However, the steps are not steep, and since we had the chance to enjoy dry weather, they were not slippery. So, this was not a problem for us.

We very much enjoyed the unspoilt environment of the lighthouse. We saw seals and thousands of seabirds at the sea, but we could also see playing rabbits, a pheasant and even a fox directly from the panoramic windows.

Last but not least, we were delighted by the interaction with the Conway family (three humans plus one non-human but thinking she is a human, according to Brendan).

Miriam and Brendan were wonderful hosts - we would have liked to have spent some time with them, but they were very busy I guess and we were out and about, so there really wasn't much time to spare between all of us.

The lighthouse itself was amazing ... Shane says it's a shame there's not a balcony at the very top to really give the feel of the views/sea etc - but we loved it all the same. The surroundings were amazing, the neighbour (Ronan?) very friendly and helpful, which was appreciated (again, we would like to have had more time with him) and it was just the most wonderful experience all round.

Congratulations to you all for providing such a wonderful opportunity to the public - an experience we will never forget. Also, your maintenance of the building and site and the cleanliness is beyond any fault whatsoever.

Our party of 4 (plus toddler) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wicklow Lighthouse. What a cool experience to live in a 30m high tower surrounded by the ocean! The views are simply stunning and the tower is equipped with everything you need. It's 109 stairs to the very top, so make you sure you don't forget anything :-). Being an old building that was never intended to be lived in, it is a tad damp and cold, so we thought three nights is the perfect amount of time here.

It is one of the most beautiful places with incredible views from every angle. The ability to stay in a lighthouse is a one in a lifetime opportunity. Wicklow is a very nice town with a lot of little shops and cafes. The people in charge of the lighthouse are so kind and wonderful, they even told us about a beach in a short walk that had seals on it. They are very knowledgeable about the history and are lighthouse keepers themselves. Such an amazing place, we will definitely be back.

Fabulous time in Wicklow Lighthouse. The sheer majesty and presence of this building make it an incomparable venue for a short stay. The views available throughout the day are pure magic and we were lucky enough to experience a full moon on an absolutely still windless night which brought about the most magical aura with stars, sea and architecture combining in a breath-taking fashion. The interior of the building is a charming mix of functional retro décor which evokes memories of simpler and less complicated times. A great place to really get away from it all and relax. Highly recommended!

A really exciting place to stay. The lighthouse is splendid with wonderful views from all the windows It is well equipped and comfortable. The surroundings are spectacular.
We were given the warmest of welcomes by Miriam along with a very helpful introduction to the lighthouse.

We recently went to Wicklow Lighthouse - it was everything you would expect a lighthouse to be and more including gale force winds on the first evening. There are wonderful walks, views and the rooms are comfortable and furnished with the surroundings in mind. Our girls Aoibh and Cara loved the seal colony and everyone including the dog would love to go back again.

Eric whose birthday the trip was organised for was great at going down the 109 steps for any items forgotten in the car! He certainly appreciated the novelty of the building.


Brendan the host for the property couldn't have been more helpful.


Highly recommend this property for a weekend away and we will be going back and apparently it will be my turn to get items from the car!

This was a surprise for my husband's 50th birthday.He loved it! Miriam +Brendan very helpful + friendly. We had fantastic weather and really enjoyed the location., the fabulous views,..friendliness of everyone..,
Also the little touches such as the hot water bottles ,fresh flowers and the souvenir tea towel. We did the cliff walk on our first morning there and found a couple of lovely coves but, sadly, didn't see any seals! Not a huge amount in Wicklow town but got a great tour of the gaol + had a lovely dinner at the Mystic Celt. Glendalough, Kilmacurragh Gardens, Mt Usher garden +Avoca cafe also great places to go quite nearby.

Booked as a surprise for my husbands birthday. Miriam played along with this and acted as a tour guide until we reached the kitchen at the top of the lighthouse. He loved the lighthouse and it was a experience never to be forgotten. Very cosy inside, especially the bedrooms. Well equipped and the wifi was an added bonus.

I would not hesitate to recommend this and Miriam made us feel very welcome. It felt very secluded but you are only a five minute drive into town with good facilities and only an hour away from Dublin.

The lighthouse is an amazing building in a fantastic location. We had previously stated in the Lighthouse Keepers house in Whitehead in Belfast and had the most fantastic trip. Unfortunately this experience was not the same.

The building is in extreme disrepair and needs to be closed for a couple of months to be completely gutted. It needs all new windows, a new heating system, a new bathroom and the walls completely stripped and repainted. Until this is done the building should not be rented out.

It was absolutely freezing despite the fact we had the heat on the full time we were there. But to add insult to injury some of the heaters did not work. The first night it was very wet and windy and at one point when the windows were not rattling we could hear and see water dripping down the walls and onto the stairs. The rain was coming in one of the windows in the dome. We had to go to bed as it was the only way we could keep warm.

We didn't complain to the people minding the property as it wasn't their fault and they were lovely. But Landmark Trust should be very embarrassed with this property. I would be very slow to rent another Landmark property again to be honest and certainly would not recommend this one to anyone. And it's a shame because after our four night stay in Belfast I couldn't stop talking about the place.

Regards,
Clare

Thank you for taking some time to write a review of your recent stay at Wicklow Lighthouse and I appreciate your notes. I would like to take a moment to address some items that you mentioned. Our buildings were made to the standards of earlier times and consequently guests may encounter features that reflect their particular character. In all cases we have sought to make a sensible compromise between due regard for safety and the careful retention of the fabric of each building, which makes it an interesting place to stay. In some cases, such as in Wicklow Lighthouse, the property was not built with the intention that it should be lived in. At Wicklow Lighthouse, due to the open plan of the property, it can be problematic trying to maintain a highlevel of heat during winter months. Unfortunately this winter has been particularly cold with storms blowing in from the sea and given the location of the Lighthouse on the headland we have tried our best to provide additional heat at the property. Our House Manager was shocked to read the note about the heat during your stay, as she would have taken immediate steps to remedy the matter. As Wicklow Lighthouse is our most popular property it can be a struggle to schedule in maintenance work. However, I am delighted to notify all of our guests that we recently have had the bathroom re-tiled and also many of the windows replaced with more appropriate fitting sashes. The remainder of the windows are also due to be replaced very soon. Due to the environment and hardship of the location we face constant maintenance with regard to painting. Regrettably there has not been time to arrange for this over the winter season but this is also due to be scheduled in at the earliest opportunity. If you decide to continue to support Irish Landmark Trust by renting another of our 26 properties throughout Ireland please call the bookings office directly and we will be delighted to offer suggestions and advise of which houses may be suitable to your requirements.

This magical place should be on everyone's bucket list

This was our second stay at Wicklow Lighthouse and it was just as good as the first time. If you are able to climb stairs do try it - you won't want to leave. Miriam is so friendly and has the place sparkling with everything you could possibly need for a lovely comfortable stay.

The only quibble we would have is that the living and kitchen area was cold. Especially the kitchen. I'm not sure what you could do about that because of the high ceiling and the open plan.
We would definitely come again but perhaps in warmer weather.
Many thanks. Keep up the good work.

Just spent 3 beautiful days down in Wicklow and had a wonderful time. Fortunately for us as nobody was staying in the lighthouse the day before, Miriam kindly agreed to meet us earlier than the original 4pm check in which was fantastic. I had booked this as a surprise for my partner so we met Miriam 'for a tour' and only when we arrived up at the kitchen we told him he was staying, his reaction was fantastic (he is still smiling!!). You really don't notice the 109 steps (unless you leave something in the entrance hall which you need in the living room and you have to make the trip again!) but the views make it all worthwhile. It was a very stormy couple of nights which added to the magic plus we had a clear sky and you could see stars for miles. We even got up for the sunrise (and got wonderful photos of the moon too). The lighthouse itself is very well laid out and has everything you need if you want to stay in. Kitchen is small but has everything in the way of utensils and equipment. There is a little electric burner in the living room which is cosy and there are a lot of throws to wrap yourself up in also. The water pressure in the bathroom shower is great and there is also another toilet down in the entrance hall which is handy if you are out for walks. Wicklow town is great for restaurants and bars, from top end eateries to cosy bars but I would recommend you explore more of Wicklow (the drive alone is beautiful) we went to Redcross, Laragh and Glendalough for food also. Its great to get away from it all but for those who like a little 'peace' of technology the WIFI connection was great. All in all it was a brill experience that sadly might not be repeated for a long while but will never be forgotten.

My husband and I had a fantastic weekend in Wicklowhead Lighthouse. It exceeded expectations. The uniqueness of the venue and the beauty of the location are a winning combination. The lighthouse is clean and comfortable, the views and cliff walks are spectacular. We felt like we had been transported to another planet, so removed were we from busy, normal life.
We returned after the trip feeling refreshed and relaxed, the lighthouse forces you to do that. I recommend it to anyone looking for a real break.

A perfect location far away from business and thus a perfect retreat to merge with nature! Though the weather was foggy we enjoyed focus on the different style of living. We didn't neet TV, Internet and even the music we switched off in order to listen to the winds.

Basically, everything happened very well from the first contact up to the reimbursement of the deposit after my return. In particular, the house manager, Brenan, was absolutely charming.

The moment we have spent my spouse and I, in the context of our 20th wedding anniversary, was magic.
Thank you for that!

An atmospheric place to stay, this was enhanced by an exciting storm on the first night. Also recommend going out at night to see it in the moonlight. Miriam & Brendan are very helpful & friendly. Lots of places to visit in the area & Wicklow town centre has plenty going on. The lighthouse is snug, well equipped & has beautiful views. If you want somewhere different & don't mind a few stairs, it's a great place for a cosy, yet dramatic getaway.

Whilst the heritage of the property was beautiful and the location breath taking, we found the hygiene very poor and were very disappointed with our stay. There were dead flies all over the house when we arrived predominately in the kitchen and in the bread bin! Crockery was greasy and I had to wash a lot before we had dinner. In the evening a flight of steps became flooded with water, the rain was pushing in whilst we were warned about this, and we were okay with that! There was nothing that I could use to clean it up, no mop or floor cloth in sight. It was so much water I had to use 4 of our towels provided, the wet steps were such a hazard.

Whilst the bed linens seemed clean and fresh, many other areas were not, the kitchen floor and table were very poor { cleaned jam off the oilcloth on the table } , cupboards { lots of crumbs in the cutlery tray in the kitchen ) and other parts were really not acceptable. We were quite disappointed. I mentioned to the caretaker we would drop an email, we wanted to leave without any negativity on that day.

I do hope this feedback will help to provide a more pleasurable stay for future guests.

Thanks

It is disappointing to read of your experience at Wicklow Lighthouse and I am sorry you left with the opinion the building is not maintained as this is certainly not the case. Yes, Wicklow Lighthouse is an old building and we have continuous maintenance matters that need to be addressed on an ongoing basis. We always state that our buildings were made to the standards of earlier times and sometimes, as in the case with Wicklow Lighthouse, without the intention that they should be lived in. Consequently features that reflect the buildings particular character are encountered and deserve due care and attention, particularly by the young, elderly, less mobile or visually impaired. You mentioned that water had seeped in through the windows during a heavy rain shower and I can assure you that we are in the process of trying to resolve to this matter. We have had architects on site and we are waiting for their report of how to proceed. We would ask of anyone who is considering renting an Irish Landmark Trust property as their Holiday Home to appreciate and use the building with this understanding. In all cases we have sought to make a sensible compromise between due regard for safety and the careful retention of the fabric of each building, which makes it an interesting place to stay. From our many other reviews of Wicklow Lighthouse I’m sure you can see that your other notes are not reflective of the usual high standards that prevail here at the Irish Landmark. I do hope that this will not deter either yourself or other potential people considering an Irish Landmark Trust property in the future.

A comfortable accomadation in a breathtaking location. The help provided by the lovely Mrs. Conway made this a memorable event for my sister and I.
The only suggestion would be to replace some of the bulbs in thw lights and one or two of the levels

Our family (2 adults and 2 grown sons) have spent a most enjoyable 8-day (7-night) stay at Wicklow Head Lighthouse, between 19 and 26 September 2014.

The Lighthouse is very tastefully furnished and well-equipped, and offered us a great experience inside it and around its surroundings.

However we would recommend the following:
- a new re-designed kitchen sink drain-board, as the present one is too tiny;
- provision of a toaster in the kitchen;
- a flexible, not fixed, shower in the bath;
- ideally 2 twin beds, instead of a double bed, in one of the bedrooms;
- possibly some type of intercom system between the 6 floors;
- improved internet connectivity

Sincere thanks to house manager Miriam Conway and her son Brendan for their hospitality and help.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how your stay in your Holiday Home at Wicklow Head Lighthouse. Thank you for your suggestions which have been passed on to the property manager for review. Unfortunately as a non-profit organisation we have very little funds at the moment but we do try to take on all guests suggestions in the hope that when fundraising actvities bring in some money we can allocate it to improving what we can in the properties. All donations and bookings are greatly appreciated.

Fab!

Thought it was very expensive e550 as it really was only one day. We arrived at 4pm on Friday and had to check out at 10am on Sunday. I felt that was very early. Earlier than any hotel.

Beautiful location, great views. Well equipped. But don't expect solitude. More than 20 walkers strolled through the yard every morning. It was the least secluded of any rural holiday rental we've had.

For the price paid, the bathroom -and kitchen should be better maintained: the grout and sealant is on poor condition and missing around the kitchen sink and bathtub, with black mold setting in.

Some lights on the stairway were missing. The stairs are painted black, and it made it a bit tricky to navigate them at night, and a bit dangerous for those with aging eyes.

The bed was saggy, My back couldn't have handled a fourth night, despite the scenery and unique opportunity.

We felt special staying in a lighthouse, and I'd recommend it to anyone in reasonable shape. What a treat! It just needs a bit of upkeep.

Thank you Carolyn for commenting on your stay at Wicklow Lighthouse. I have passed on your notes to the property manager. As the summer was so busy at Wicklow Lighthouse it was impossible to arrange a maintenance day but we have a few days scheduled soon and these issues will be addressed during this period.

Very nice building on top of the cliff in a private and gated property, quiet and peaceful, wonderful view from the bedroom, parking in front of the holiday-cottage. Very friendly and helpful staff.

What 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. You will enjoy the peace and silence only interrupted by the mystical winds and the sheeps' baa, you will want to go for a walk down to the cliffs to watch the seals, or to Wicklow town where lovely cafés and tavern await you. In conclusion: Do yourself a favour and stay at least several days to fully enjoy Wicklow Head lighthouse - you will regret staying for only 1 night!

In one word "brilliant" , lighthouse as well as location and hospitality
Everything inside the lighthouse works perfect (plumbing, water, heating, electricity...)
The lighthouse inside is super cosy and impeccably clean.
Magnificent location and scenery.
One of our most memorable travel experiences.

A lighthouse all to ourselves! Our stay at Wicklow Head Lighthouse was exceptional - better than we could have ever imagined. Having grown up along the eastern coast of the U.S., lighthouses have always been a familiar and welcome sight. To stay in a lighthouse in Ireland for three nights was a thrilling opportunity. The renovations and transformation of the lighthouse into such a welcoming place for visitors was a brilliant plan by the Irish Landmark Trust. You'll enjoy amazing views from so many vantage points and scenic walks while listening to the waves coming to shore. The accommodations in the lighthouse are extremely comfortable and well selected for lighthouse enthusiasts. To truly experience Ireland, a stay at Wicklow Head Lighthouse is a must!

Miriam and Brendan are wonderful hosts and were most helpful during our stay. We look forward to returning to Wicklow Head Lighthouse in the future!

The lighthouse experience is unique and difficult to compare to regular lodgings, but the experience was truly wonderful. Wicklow is an enchanting small town well located near Glendalough,Powerscourt, and the Wicklow mountains. The lighthouse has good facilities and a common area where we gathered with our traveling companions to talk about our daily experiences.

We had a wonderful stay in the Lighthouse. In every way it was a great experience. We were very taken by the really warm welcome given to us by Miriam and her family.

They made sure that all was sorted before they left us on the first day. They also took time to give us information and recommendations on walks etc.

The facilities in the Lighthouse were excellent and apart for the warning about the number of steps (my knees didn't know what happened to them!) I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Thank you,

Ann & Paul Kenny

Thorougly enjoyed the two night stay in a very unique building and setting in May. The service provided by the ILT and the Housekeeper was excellent. The weather for the two night's stay was very good, the first night was almost tranquil, the second a little windier and foggier, which gave a flavour of typical weather conditions. The walls were a little damp in a few places with a small amount of mould evident. The kitchen was small but was very well stocked for most people's needs. There seemed to be a problem with the hot water in the kitchen. Heating was adequate in the kitchen and living room. The bedrooms were adequately furnished, cosy and had exceptional views. The maritime internal decor was deisgned in keeping with the surroundings. Despite really enjoying the weekend, I thought the rental charge was a little overpriced.

We stayed at the lighthouse with our 2 children aged 5 and 9. it was absolutely wonderful! A real escape from it all yet so close to Wiclow Town, where we found a fab fish shop. We had planned to go out for dinner but the minute we saw the lighthouse we scrapped that plan, bought fish in Wicklow and ate in with a view of the sea all around.

The lighthouse is a bit drafty but there are nice blankets and heaters in every room, and it is really cosy.

Special thanks to the manager - she is wonderful!

We will be back!

It is an old lighthouse. The flaky interior walls and cooler temperatures added to both the character of the property and the whole lighthouse experience. The décor and furnishings were totally in keeping with the lighthouse promoting a nautical theme to emphasise the amazing views of the sea which could be viewed at every level. The house keeper and her family provided a warm welcome and help when required.

An issue with water from the bathroom dripping into the lower bedroom has been reported and the Trust assures me it will be addressed.

Even the exercise provided by climbing the stairs ( and the breathless levels) became a humorous talking point.

The leak aside, this was a remarkable break which everyone enjoyed and would love to be able to repeat at some point in the future

Stayed for two nights with friends. Location is fantastic - secluded but not too far from shops/pubs if required. Private land so very peaceful and easy to get away from it all. Beautiful cliff walks in the area, and you might even spot the Arklow off-shore wind farm to the south on a clear day. The lighthouse is in great condition, considering how difficult it must be to manage an old building, so I have rated it as such - an old building that will have leaks and creaks. Surprisingly cosy and comfortable, with generous rooms considering the available space. Kitchen is small and functional. Bathroom is spacious with decent shower pressure. Facilities like linens are as good as any other ILT property or hotel I've stayed in. This house is not for everyone - it's not perfect, but it's magical. There are a lot of stairs, but it's worth the climb. There's no telly or phone, but you can get away from it all. Can't wait to head back.

We were greeted by the most charming of hosts and given all the practical information we needed. The lighthouse is an architectural gem, with very pleasant and appropriate decor and an extraordinarily snug ambiance. We simply loved the place. You do need your climbing legs at 109 steps to the kitchen but wait until you see the view from there.

What charmed me most about the place was the feeling of being far from the madding crowd.

It is all together one of those experiences to look back upon in old age and smile...

Wonderful home away from home(even if there are 109 steps to the kitchen). Stepping back in time and easy to imagine shipwrecks and smugglers all around. A bit cold in the evening but lovely throws to snuggle up in. Great place to get fit with all the stairs.

Overall I found the lighthouse stay a great experience. However it's not one that I would repeat in this particular lighthouse. We had previously stayed in Blackhead Lighthouse, Co. Antrim, and have to compare Wicklow to this. I loved the location in Wicklow, it was very private but still not too far from a town which had all the amenities you could want. The caretakers were friendly and helpful. There were plenty of towels and lovely fresh flowers.
There were a few downsides to our stay. We have 3 children aged 4, 6 and 8 and I was quite nervous of them on all the stairs. There is no central heating in the Lighthouse, and the first night the temperature outside was 3 degrees. Inside was very cold, especially in the living area, because it has no door, and an open stairwell.
There are storage heaters in the bedrooms and the bedrooms have doors so they were nice and cosy. One of the windows seems to be broken, and is quite crudely fixed closed. On a windy night (they're all windy on the coast) there was quite a gale whistling through the gap.
There is a problem with dampness, if you run your hand along the inside of the external walls, the bubbling paint flecks off. When I had a shower on the first morning, my children came running up to tell me there was water dripping through their ceiling. The leak will need to be repaired very soon and the ceiling repaired, or it will damage the bedroom floor as well as the ceiling.
The kitchen is compact and has almost everything you need, but no toaster. The grill on the cooker was a bit temperamental.
Overall I would say it was a nice experience to stay in the lighthouse, but by the second night I was missing the comforts of home.

A great experience, not for the faint of heart!! We had amazing wind, it was angry and loud, but safe in the lighthouse. Had a lovely walk to the working lighthouse, lots of good restaurants close by, and great golf. A great leg workout. Miriam and Brendan were great. It will be remembered well.

We had a very enjoyable night at the light house. The care takers are wonderful, our only comment would be that we would not stay there in March again. The light house was a little cold and damp, now we know that the building is v. v old and iwe have no idea how to fix the problem ,but for the price we think you should look into it.

I bought a weekend stay in the Wicklow Head lighthouse as a Christmas present for my husband, which I could also enjoy! We arrived on a friday afternoon and were greeted so warmly by Brendan- a font of local knowledge and information. He gave us the tour of the lighthouse and arranged to meet us on the sunday when we were leeaving. We took his advice and followed the trail to the seal's private beach- amazing experience. The lighthouse itself is fantastic- we both loved the fairytale like quality to the rooms- the cosy living area with all it's comfy seats and window seats to watch the world go by while curled up witha cup of tea and a good book. The bedroom was extremely cosy which surprised us. Everything in the place was spotless and tidy. We were really impressed with how well this property is maintained and if the rest of the Irish Landmark Trust properties are the same, we will definitely be booking further breaks. Overall, an unforgettable experience and one we would highly recommend.

Our stay overall was enjoyable given the weather conditions being quite bad. The building is getting quite a lot of leaking which makes the stairs slippy and wet and could be dangerous. Also the storage heaters need replacing as very little heat coming out of them. Biggest issue is the fan heater that is supplied for keeping guests warm in the living area it is not strong enough at all and an upgraded heater with bigger output needed. That being said the bedrooms were nice and snug and warm and bathroom was of a decent standard with good water supply and shower.

We had a lovely stay but unfortunately because there were only storage heaters in the sitting room and kitchen we were extremely cold in these rooms and had to keep coats and scarfs on during our meals! Suggest electric heaters installed, as in the bedrooms which were very effective. Also may help to put in a few more doors between the floors to stop the drafts.

Another suggestion would be to change the hall-entrance into a decent size kitchen as the kitchen is too small for 4 people - this room can then be adapted into another single room increasing your capacity or another loo so that if in the sitting room the distance to go would not be so far.

We had an absolutely great time in the Wicklow Lighthouse. The place is equipped to provide the highest comfort and is tastefully furnished. Of course, you cannot top the location at the seaside and the stunning views on the sea and the green landscape all around. I definitely recommend this splendid place to everybody that wants to spend a few quiet days away from the hassle and bustle.

Guest from Dublin stayed at Wicklow Lighthouse for 3 nights in October 2013
