An amazing location, spectacular sea views, sunrise from the terrace, sunset from the front balcony. The accommodation is extremely well planned, comfortable and relaxing. The Pilot Station is a great place to explore the local area, including fabulous restaurants close by.

We really enjoyed our stay. Less than an hour from dublin airport it was the perfect place to have a chill 2 nights and recover from the red eye flight from the states.

We stayed here just for a single night but the location and views were just stunning. A nice change of pace coming from Dublin and really wish we had more time. Extremely cozy environs with everything you could ask for in terms of bedding, bath, and kitchen. Do yourself a favor and book some time here!

Wonderful house and great location. Very clean and great communication, including great local dining recommendations. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the pier. A little noisy at times but that is to be expected with the proximity to the pier. We would definitely stay here again.
