My family and I spent 3 nights here in the week before Xmas 2011. Wicklow town itself is a place with great character and a pile of perfect little shops. The lighthouse was just magical. We have always tried to give our kids experiences to remember rather than overdoing material gifts. They will certainly remember this trip. This beautiful windblown headland was just superb to wake up to with the wind rattling the panes of the lighthouse and that strange eerie Irish light coming through the clouds in shafts over the water. The area is a dream to take photos of and a wonderland to stroll through. We all loved staying in the lighthouse, it was so unique and so full of history. It was also a very pleasant place to stay with all the rooms decorated tastefully and Miriam the caretaker had added Xmas decorations which was a wonderful touch. We definitely will come here again, we plan to come in the Spring time as I can imagine the area would be breathtaking with plant and animal life.
