Highly recommended tour of Fanad Lighthouse. It had history, engineering , statistics and the best of all old stories from the locals. I loved going up the steps to the top of the lighthouse as well as learning about the different ship wrecks. Kevin the tour guide was outstanding and captured my attention. He answered all our questions and it was great having a local guy doing the tour. Well done to Kevin and I’ve already recommended the tour and Kevin to others.

We did a tour while on a weekend break in North Donegal. It was a great experience. Our guide Oisin was fantastic. He was friendly, informative and couldn't have been more helpful. Learned about the history and importance of lighthouses, not only in Donegal but around Ireland while experiencing the amazing and unique views around the lighthouse. The highlight was the climb to the top of the Tower. The tour also includes a short virtual reality experience and a listening experience. Great value for money. A nice coffee shop at the car park also. Highly recommended and thanks again to Oisin.

What a wonderful place to visit and stay. The accommodation was beautifully decorated; clean, cosy, warm and really comfortable. The tour guide, John, was amazing with his wealth of knowledge, with stories and facts about the lighthouse and former lighthouse keepers. 5 star experience, exactly the same number of flashes which identifies Fanad Lighthouse. Whether you are staying or just visiting, you will not be disappointed. We were so lucky to stay, we absolutely loved it. What a wonderful experience.

We stayed in one of the three cottages at the lighthouse at the weekend. (Inishtrahull). The cottage was amazing! Warm, cosy, clean and beautifully furnished. Really comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped. Incredibly special experience to look out your bedroom window at the light from the tower, or out the sitting room windows across to Lough Swilly. Views are stunning from every window. . The wind howling outside, but warm and toasty inside. A truly unique experience. The Handmade Soap Company toiletries are a luxury. Lovely hot chocolates from the crew in the coffee shop on site. We got our tour from John, a true gent and a great tour. Really took his time to explain the history, the mechanics and loads of great old stories from this magical place. A natural and a true asset to the place and to our stay. Is it worth it? Every cent. Life is about experiences and this is one that should be on everyone's bucket list. Thanks guys for a very special stay.

We arrived around 11:30am and went into the tea shop/gift shop to purchase tickets. The lady there could not have been more friendly or helpful. The 2 options for viewing the lighthouse were explained clearly so we knew exactly what to except. The tour starts with a VR presentation of the shipwreck that resulted in the lighthouse being built - this was our first VR experience and we were amazed by the realism. Outside was a little hut (Eist) with seats to sit and listen to some singing and stories. There are 2 exhibits in the base of the lighthouse with a short film presentation also. Our tour guide was Owen and he was fantastic from start to finish. He was so knowledgable, answering all questions with ease and holding the interest of adults and kids alike. His pride in the heritage and history of the area were obvious and he conveyed that with wit and respect. A few of our group weren’t great with heights but we were never made to feel that we needed to hurry, in fact we were encouraged to only do the climb at our speed. The views from the top are amazing even on a dull spring day - well worth the climb. We ended the tour back in the gift shop and had a great recommendation from the lady there about where we should go next (Pollen Sea Arch) We have visited many attractions throughout Ireland and by far this is the best in terms of how it’s been thought out and how it’s presented. The lighthouse is fantastic but the staff here are the stars of the show.

This was our 1st stay at keeper cottage. We are on mission to find all 70 of our Irish lighthouses. So far 45 clocked up ! The cottage was simply furnished, spacious and bed cosy. We made ourselves at home easily. John included us on morning tour of the Lighthouse. He was wonderfully informed and funny too. Thank you John Yvonne at the Fanad shop was a joy to chat to. Such a lovely lady . Morning and night walks seeing Tory and Dunree lighthouses lights at night The pictures don't do justice all we saw and experienced. Rugged landscapes and chatty neighbourhood farmers.

We went to celebrate our anniversary and had a lovely time. We were perhaps a little lucky with the weather and were able to explore all around in the sun, in April! At night looking out for the other lighthouses was also great. Well equipped self-catering facilities, only slight disappointment was that the nearby Lighthouse Tavern wasn't open until Summer.

Visiting the area and wanted to always visit the light house.Purchased tickets from cafe that is only a small walk from lighthouse entrance.Our tour guide John was friendly , insightful and easy to listen to.The tour is great and I believe value for money. It is definitely worth a visit for the Scenery alone.Visited the cafe and gift shop after for the obligatory holiday souvenir!!

We really enjoyed our visit to Fanad Lighthouse. All of the staff we encountered are extremely friendly. The young lady whose name I unfortunately forget was excellent as our guide. It's was incredibly interesting to see the workings of the lighthouse and learn the history of it and the surrounding areas. We definitely recommend it. The staff working there are a credit to the place.
