A Haven in the Heart of West Cork
An Tuirin
Overlooking the tranquil waters of Glandore Harbour, An Tuirin is a charming coastal retreat for couples, creatives, and remote workers — atmospheric and full of rustic warmth, immersed in the natural beauty of West Cork’s shoreline.
With its thick stone walls and intimate spaces, this lovingly restored former kipper tower offers a unique blend of heritage and comfort. Wake to golden sunrises over the harbour, spend your days inspired by the ever-changing seascape, and unwind to the soothing sounds of the sea.

The Space
Step straight into a compact yet inviting dining and living area, complete with a fully equipped chef’s kitchen — perfect for cooking up a storm while gazing out over the harbour and pier. The ever-changing seascape provides a living canvas, shifting with the light, tides, and passing boats.
The dining area opens onto a balcony where you’ll feel as though you’re aboard a boat. Dine al fresco, unwind with a glass of wine, or simply sit back and enjoy the sights and soothing sounds of the sea.
A charming spiral staircase leads upstairs to a comfortable double ensuite bedroom. Warm, intimate, and comfortable it continues the theme of harbour views — allowing you to wake each morning to beautiful sunrises over the water.
A Creative & Remote Working Retreat
An Tuirin also offers a peaceful recreational space ideal for writers, artists, and creative minds seeking inspiration by the sea. The calm surroundings, sea air, and uninterrupted views create the perfect setting to reflect, create, and recharge.
For those blending escape with productivity, it’s also an ideal location to work from “home.” The tranquil atmosphere encourages focus and clarity, while the harbour views provide restorative breaks throughout the day.

Important Information
Just a little note so you’re aware of a few of the charming quirks of An Tuirin – they’re all part of what makes it special!
Access to An Tuirin is via steps.
Inside there’s a spiral staircase which adds lots of character, but it isn’t child-friendly, so the space is best suited to adults.
Parking can be a little tricky during the summer months, so you may have a short stroll to the house.
The bedroom has a standard double bed – cosy and comfortable.
We just like to make sure guests know what to expect so they can fully enjoy the character of An Tuirin.
