Goggins Cottage was amazing. It is beautifully maintained and a joy to look at. The local area was lovely with everything in full bloom. We lay in bed each morning with the window open listening to the bird song. The local people were so friendly with many great stories about Jack Goggins. Many thanks also to Maureen for her hospitality and lovely brown bread.
if you need to get away from it all and listen to quietness , nature , and still ness but yet enjoy and marinate yourself in the enjoyment of life , this is the place to go , We are a group of 10 that have been coming here for the past 4 years and each year it gets better , we take the time to go for walks and chat over a glass of wine and slow time down completely , its well worth the visit to do these things to jump off the treadmill of city life and chill
Our family of 6 stayed in both houses for our first visit to Cork. A truly charming and comfortable experience. Pristinely kept, felt snug and secure, period furnishing and appointments added to the ambience. Pricing was very reasonable. Great location for our brief stay in Cork, walked everywhere with ease. Highly recommend Elizabeth Fort and be sure to tour the fort with a docent.
Our stay at Galley Head Lighthouse exceeded all of our expectations; it was beautiful, peaceful and thrilling (during a storm). The accommodations were very comfortable, a home away from home. Gerald is a gem. He and Meria are welcoming, charming and thoughtful hosts.
Had a lovely short stay in the cottage as a break from Dublin for me and my pup. The cottage is exactly as pictured and was clean, comfortable and a quiet place to get away from it all for a couple of days. The host was lovely and made sure I was able to access the cottage even if she could not meet me in person.
Our family of 6 stayed in both homes and it worked out perfectly…proximity yet privacy. Great location easily walkable to central Cork. Beds were comfy and inviting, bathrooms were spacious and bright, plenty of hot water and wonderful water pressure. Sitting rooms and kitchens were thoughtfully decorated. Any staples we needed were available with lots of thoughtful extras (drying rack, etc.)
Great location, awesome landscapes. Feeling like a "lighthouse owner" for a day is priceless :-) Will be back (here, or on another lighthouse) for sure
This was my third Landmark Trust lighthouse (to go with Galley Head and Loop Head). Gerard Boyle was very helpful getting us settled and seeing to our comfort. The spot is lovely, with a long drive to the end of the peninsula. We greatly enjoyed our two nights.
This is our second time staying at the Schoolhouse in two decades. It’s a great location to explore Sligo from. Would highly recommend if you just like getting away from it all. Very comfortable and warm.
Gatehouse is a charming building, beautifully located near the river, furnished with taste and excellently managed by Maro who provided us with really valuable advice.
Charming, stylishly old-fashioned, comfortable, quiet, centrally located (20 minutes walking to Trinity College, somewhat poorly served by public transportation).
The silence, the music of the ocean, the wind and the presence of the lighthouse in the night were our fellow travellers. Welcome and assistance of Gail absolutely perfect as his tips. The cozy and functional cottage: a perfect mix between preservation of the original structure, and efficient services. The unspoiled nature of Ireland has seduced us. The Irish welcomed us with sympathy. I would have been happy to stay and be the lighthouse keeper. In conclusion a beatiful and great experience.
There were six of us plus baby and dog, and we all had an amazing time. The house is spacious enough for that number of people and is well equipped, we didn't miss anything. We were lucky with the weather and spent most of the days outside, but cooked and had dinner in the house, very cosy. The walk along the cliffs of Loop Head is beautiful and very easy to negotiate, even with pram. The nights were magical, so many stars and the beam from the lighthouse is very special. So worth a visit
We were fascinated to find that this wonderful building is not on a peppercorn tent, but was actually gifted to Irish Landmarks Trust. A truly inspiring action by the previous owners. The House Manager was very responsive to our requests and queries in advance. Thankfully we didn’t need to contact him during our stay, but he responded very positively to a small suggestion we made after we left. The under-floor heating in the bedroom makes it an absolute joy to step out of (a very comfortable) bed in the morning. The kitchen was quite functional and we really needed the open fire on one d...more
Very unique, glorious building and magical silence. Historic ambience gives a timeless quality of rest and relaxation
We had a lovely stay in this most beautiful building, we hadn't realised how wonderful the park would be (and that it felt like ours) or how quick and easy it was to get into Dublin. We enjoyed finding the Wonderful Barn and a visit to Maynooth - we hope the access issues to the main house are resolved soon as the place is clearly loved and well-used by the locals.
A magical place in a beautiful location. The rooms are large and very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and the whole place was spotless. Its a 5 minute walk to the pub on a road with no public lighting. I live in an urban setting and rarely get to experience the night sky without lighting so it was nice to walk under the stars beside the ocean. We were only 3 nights at Termon but it was totally rejuvenating. Do look out for the amazing famine walls near the house.
I stayed two nights and what I love most is the view from the windows...first of the small town and then of the lovely meadow-gardens of Castletown. And of course the reflective furniture and fittings in the old cottage...and yet with every modern day appliance for a comforting stay.
We had a great time at Anne's Gate Miniature Castle, a lovely quaint and private hideaway. Theresa was a great host, informing us of what was nearby and made us feel very welcome. We were Lord and Lady of our Royal abode for 3 nights and we would highly recommend a stay here.
Used the property for a coming together of our dispersed family. Great time. Just perfect for us (five adults). Nice to walk straight out into the estate grounds for walks. Really enjoyed it. All was smooth and property very warm. Highly recommended.
