We booked this big house as a special treat for ourselves and friends, it did not disappoint! Getting there from Dublin was easy (via M7), we had a lovely welcome from Debbie on arrival who showed us around. The house is beautiful, old world grandeur with every modern comfort. We lit the fires and spent hours chatting, relaxing and catching up. We hired the local Chef Liam to cook for us on Saturday - this was incredible. When we came back from watching the match in Corofin he had tall of the lamps lit, the fires were lighting, the table was beautifully set, we were served 3 delicious courses ...more
Very special to stay in our own exclusive fort close to all the attractions of Cork city. Friendly staff.
We rented both sides of the Galley Head Lighthouse. It was wonderful! The location is remarkable; we have never stayed in a more dramatic spot. The house is impeccably clean and comfortable (it has everything you need). Finally, the caretakers are most kind and helpful. Hope to be back someday.
This was my fourth stay at an Irish Landmark Trust property. We had a warm welcome from Theresa at the cottage. As she had promised, the bed is very comfortable and the bedroom is lovely and cosy. The kitchen, despite its small size, is very well equipped for anything you might consider cooking or roasting and the neat little dishwasher is a great help. The backdoor of the cottage opens onto a meadow garden with picnic table. The cottage is on the road, but once inside you are not aware of passing cars. The shower has good pressure. I felt some details were a little different to previous...more
Had a fantastic stay, it was peaceful , scenery was just unbeatable, very relaxing. The road in is long and narrow but lots of places to pull in and the locals know what to do when they see a foreign registration. Donegal is just a beautiful county and worth a visit. This was my first Irish Landmark Trust stay and will certainly be trying out more. Couldn’t recommend this more if you want a relaxing break (bring food no shop near). Gerald the manager was easily contactable and had everything just as you would want in your own homeif you had been away and came back (lights on, warm fire rea...more
Fantastic place away from everything. The cottages were cosy and everything you needed in them. Loved staying here.
Very central location. Pretty house in historic setting with all the necessities. Great views from the fort walls over the city. No dedicated parking though on street disc parking available. Worth taking the audio guide tour- learned lots.
This was our fifth stay here. There are more detailed reviews by me of past stays no doubt. Very cosy, plenty to see and do. Highly recommend. As always Maro was the perfect hostess. We might come back again!!!
The schoolhouse is an ideal short stay for a couple. The decor and furnishings are comfortable and cosy. It is located in a quiet, remote area which means you would need a car. The house is completely spotless. It maintains the heat well too. I'd highly recommend. Very historic and worth a visit
The location was perfect for us, conveniently situated close to the centre, parks, shops and restaurants. The property was clean, well equipped we could not fault it. Will revisit when next in Dublin.

The host of the property was amazingly helpful and kind. Once we explored the property it was easy to settle in. Perfect. Not my first stay with the Irish Landmark Trust, and it hopefully will not be my last. You can feel the history in the air all the time. Simply magic. If you are looking for a cool place to stay that is not the norm, this is it. We had great weather and it was very much fun exploring the surrounding areas. Thank you very much!
A gorgeous place full of character and comfort. Absolutely loved it. Idyllic surroundings and house is beautifully authentic and a credit to restorers.
This was our first stay at a Irish Landmark Trust property, hope they are all as good. The lighthouse had everything we needed. It was supper clean and our two year old said it was not just the best holiday ever but she also declared the bed was the best bed ever. She has been telling everyone she slept in a lighthouse and climbed to the top. Brendan the property manager was hugely accommodating and great at keeping in contact.
Charming old railway cottage with very large garden. Perfect if you have a dog! Close to Donegal town where there are lovely pubs and eateries and near to the wonderful beaches at Murvagh and Fintra. Excellent property host. Will definitely return!
I well appointed cosy Cottage by the beach with stunning views from every window. . Landmark Trust never disappoints!
This was our first time staying in an Irish Landmark Trust property. Theresa, the house manager, had Anne's Grove Miniature Castle set up beautifully for us, and showed us everything we needed to know. The ambience is unique we a huge sense of history and continuity, and we soaked it up. It was warm and comfortable for us. I expect that for someone with sore knees / hips or eyesight difficulties the stairs could be awkward. Anne's Grove Miniature Castle is in the countryside rather than in a settlement, so an unexpected bonus was going outside after dark and seeing many more stars than are...more
This house was charming. We loved the location. We had the village in walking distance. Nest Coffee and Wine Bar was right next door. We had coffee and croissants daily. Also, in walking distance was the Castletown Park, lovely.
Family and I had a fantastic short break, great location, not noisy at all, I loved being at what seemed the hub of Celbridge, Castletown gate, like Grand Central Station, every body and dog out, even Tidy Town litterpickers early on Sunday. Round House has great character, we loved the beds, sitting room, roundy bits, books, floorboards, I could go on. We loved Celbridge, Castletown, Cliff at Lyons, adored & were inspired by Kildrought House & garden. We'd a ball, thank you Lorraine. We'll be back with others, still so much to visit.
