What an experience for us. No TV. No WIFI. Games of cards, the radio, chatting and laughing. We will always have the memories of this fantastic property and fantastic host. My children will never forget the magical experience.
We were a group of 8 couples and all enjoyed our visit. The house is in beautiful condition and very well equipped in all area. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. The water pressure in the showers was quite weak however. Also an overuse of toilet air freshener. We had the chef in for the 3rd night of our stay and he prepared a wonderful meal and did all the wash up and cleanup afterwards. During our stay we walked in the Burren, visited Alliwee Caves, Ballyvaughan and Doolin which were all within 30 mins drive.
We Loved Galley Head more than the first time we were there, we were a group of 5 and we took the 2 houses and had a lovely time. Gerard Butler was an absolute pleasure to deal with so good sharing his knowledge about the lighthouse and some of his time with us. It was an incredible experience and one that will stay long in our memory. We also dealt with Gail who was a lovely host and very helpful. Thank you for a wonderful break in a very magical place.
Lovely house in fort. Girls loved the big open area to kick ball and play. 5 mins from.cork city centre and went to kinsale. Parking is problematic but able to get parking just outside fort with parking disc. 8.30 to 6.30 paid parking. Lovely fire and warmth. Lucky with weather..
The Parade House was perfect for our short visit to Cork. We were close enough to walk most places. Additionally the place was spotless and was so nice to have the kitchen and laundry. Geraldine was responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. Overall outstanding!
The light house was a Lovely place, very quiet, peaceful and beautiful views, worth visiting hopefully will return again
so nice weather and it is so quiet in the evening. We saw whales and the house is so comfortable. We will come back.
A very enjoyable 5-day stay at Killee Cottage, a property well up to the Irish Landmark Trust's very high standards (this was our 17th visit to one if its properties). A superb restoration, very comfortable and full of character. An interesting part of the country, with easy access to Mallow, Cahel and Cork. Many thanks!
The school house is and amazing place , and super cosy . Lorraine was super helpful and explained everything . the house is great lovely and warm , we didn't do a lot of cooking as we ate out whilst exploring , but the kitchen is well appointed. We visited local beaches Mullaghmore and Aughris which were both stunning , and also a nice stop in Sligo itself. We love Landmarks , and have visited them in every country (8) that they are or have been in, and this one is fabulous as well. Would have liked to have a little more information on the restoration of the property, as it can be very in...more
The Gate Lodge is just lovely. It is so warm and cosy and the perfect spot to hideaway for a few days. There are lots of great walks and things to see and do in the area with Lismore being a particular gem! The House Manager was particularly warm and welcoming and everything was in place for a very enjoyable stay. The only downside is the proximity to a very busy road; we live on a busy road so weren't too put out by the noisy traffic but if you are looking for a remote and peaceful location, this is not it. Otherwise, the perfect stay.
Staying in Galley Head lighthouse cottage Number one gave us a unique experience. To stay here looking out on to the Celtic Sea was truly special and the history of the the lighthouse keepers is fascinating. The cottage was very well equipped and the linen was of good quality and the central heating worked well. We were warmly welcomed by the house manager Gail Butler who gave us useful information about the area and who was able to tell us about the life of the last lighthouse keeper.
Merrion Mews is a charming building, full of character and history. The location is perfect, close to St. Stephen's Green, Merrion Square, Trinity College and many other sights. Plenty of restaurants, bars and pubs nearby. And despite the city centre location, it's amazingly peaceful and quiet.
The three of us, two humans and one dog, had an amazing week at the railway crossing cottage in Drumark, just outside Donegal town. The dog friendly status of the cottage was what initially attracted us, however we soon fell in love with the cottage and it's location. The cottage is cozy, warm and comes with all of the necessities for a chilled out stay. As people used to a wee walk, we found the cottage well situated from Donegal town (c.40 min walk) with generally appropriate footpaths and lighting along the way. We couldn't recommend this location enough and will definitely be back agai...more
A wonderful location at the end of the earth providing a gorgeous step back in time to refresh and reboot the soul. We had a ball and did so very comfartably! Thanks to Mary G for looking after us and the ILM for doing what you do! I'll be back ❤
Staying at Wicklow Lighthouse was an amazing experience. The location is stunning and considering the age and shape of the building, the Landmark Trust have done a fantastic job of converting it into a warm and inviting living space. The bedrooms are lovely and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge is cosy. The toilet on the ground floor is a bonus. Wicklow town is also worth visiting, and has retained most of its small town charm despite being so close to Dublin.
We stayed 2 nights over the Wewkend of Nov 8th 2025. And it will be hard to beat for its almost perfect example of a hidden gems in the Irish Countryside. The cliseness to the water...its closeness to absolute silence at night and then its openess to the dawn chorus of the River Birds in the morning. All this then even closer... to the majestic Castletown House and grand Estate with its river walks and open meadows. Here lies an Historic Childhood for me personally but yet even today for me... a present escape from the madness that is the constant treadmill of modern Irish Life. Catching ...more
Well restored and maintained house in a wild landscape. Welcoming interior, equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay, including hot water bottles. Furniture perfect for the building and comfortable as well. Beds superb and warm. Despite the location there is little noise from outside because the walls are thick enough to keep out most of the sounds of the wind and the sea. Views are splendid. The local roads are quiet and ideal for walking or cycling.
Smashing 2nd stay in Castletown Gate House, Celbridge. Beautifully redecorated since our last stay and it was smelling lovely of fresh paint & comfort ! Location is fantastic, at the top of the Town, hugely accessible and only steps from the Main Street. We both loved it & can't wait till our next stay there!! Thank You to Hostess Lorraine & Hubby- very welcoming and knowledgeable.
We loved being able to cook a meal, light a fire in the fireplace and enjoy a slower pace of life for a couple days. It is a truly special place.
We had a lovely stay and very comfortable home absolutely beautiful, spotless and really beautiful location. We will definitely return.
