Horse Island - Accomodation

The island houses are constructed of sturdy boulder rock! There are three of these houses on Horse Island, all built like an oyster: Crusty on the outside and white-on-white equipped with Gunter Lambert furniture on the inside.

On the ground floor you'll find a bedroom with a double bed and jacuzzi, bath, toilet and living room with an additional wood and turf fireplace, a complete kitchen and a small laundry with a washing machine and dryer. Upstairs there's a second bedroom with a double bed, bath, toilet, 4-person sauna with sea view, a shower and a gallery. A fully equiped kitchen offers every possibility to self-provision. You can order all sorts of grocery and they will be delivered to you fresh from mainland. Enjoy a barbeque on the beach, collect fresh mussels from the north-east beach near low tide or smoke your own fish that you have caught yourself. There are a few perfect spots for an unforgettable picnic with a good bottle of wine.

All of the houses are electrically heated (underfloor heating) from the island's own power production (220 volt, 50 Hz and also 380 volt).

Horse Island also offers you a romantic night on its "stranded" ship. Simply leave your house later in the evening to have a snoop around the wood and ropes of the island's ship hull, chained to the shore. A traditional Irish "hot whiskey" awaits you on board, where you will find its ingredients along with a ship's oven. Discover as much as you like about pirates in the ship's library. Afterwards you can lie on your belly and observe the ocean through two ship windows. You can see Fastnet Rock, the world-famous lighthouse, blinking at you from a distance of only eight sea miles! A rainstorm at night would be perfect here.

The calming sound of the raindrops splashing upon the deck - nothing could be more romantic.If you like, use the onboard stereo system to listen to island and sea music or atmospheric sounds that accompany you into your dreams. An experience you're sure to enjoy!
