Marconi House was the home of Gugliamo Marconi the genius & father of wireless. Marconi came here first in 1901 to live in Marconi  House. He erected his masts, worked on his experiments to send transatlantic messages then moved his apparatus to the higher ground of nearby Brow Head.  How uniquely exciting to be able to enjoy the progress made from his humble findings in the modern comforts of technology enjoyed in his home today.

The original house has been converted into 4 comfortable luxury modern apartments along with sumptuous holiday cottages in mature and well tended gardens. Each accommodation consists of a well equipped kitchen including dishwasher , washing machine, microwave, iron & ironing board, TV & Stereo. Sitting/dining rooms are spacious and have comfortable seating & tables. Bedrooms are tastefully decorated with bed linen supplied, prepared and ready for your arrival. Bathrooms are supplied with hand and bath towels. ( NO BEACH OR BOAT TOWELS SUPPLIED). The owner has thoughtfully supplied little extras for your comfort in the way of reading material, some board games and videos/DVDs.  You can put your barbeque skills to the test  & enjoy a fun night  in comfortable surroundings in your sheltered garden.

Crookhaven Harbour is a picturesque & unspoilt hamlet nestled in the scenic peninsula of West Cork. Crookhaven today is a busy boating port & boasts a small safe harbour beach and pier with easy accessibility for pedestrians & boats. When you are this close to the ocean why not enjoy wonderful fresh seafood served in the local restaurant & the three pubs in the village. There is an exquisite little gift shop as well as a shop & post office & a top class Take Away Mobile Unit located all Summer. Crookhaven Harbour Sailing Club maintain a very high standard in the children’s sailing courses that it conducts each Summer with it’s clubhouse right in the heart of the village.  As an extremely busy boating port, visitors moorings are provided in the picturesque harbour. The world renowned  Fastnet Lighthouse provides the location for part of the round the world boat race  & we are extremely proud & excited to have this facility right on our doorstep.

The Crookhaven Regatta is held in August every year and provides endless fun, laughter & boating activities on the day.  The village has 40 full time residents who share this beautiful part of the world with anything up to 4,000 visitors throughout the summer. It is unlikely that you would only ever make one journey to Crookhaven as it’s magic will pull you back time & time again.

Circumventing this coast is one of the most magnificent routes Ireland has to offer and is to be enjoyed by land and sea dwellers just the same.
