About this property
Lighthouse Cottage with spectacular views!
Beautiful detached Lighthouse Cottage beside Roches Point Lighthouse which is a working lighthouse!
Spectacular views of both the Atlantic ocean and entrance to Cork Harbour - the second largest natural harbour in the world!
This is a true sanctuary, quiet and undisturbed. Exhale and recharge while you lazily watch beautiful sunsets over the ocean, wave at ships cruising into the harbour, or watch sea birds gather on the rocks below. You might even spot a cheeky seal or two, and on clear days you are bound to see some dolphins!
Roches Point was the last stop of the RMS Titanic before its fatal voyage...!
Golf: Five 18 hole golf courses within 15 mile radius including Fota Golf Club (home to Irish Open events) & Cork Golf Club to name a few.

What makes this property unique
Every year for 10 years my family and I would rent the cottage for our holidays: From the very first day we fell deeply in love with the site, the sea and the serenity of the area. We were blessed with a wonderful opportunity to acquire the cottage which is now part of our family, and we hope will be a happy part of yours!
