Irish Landmark is a non-profit organisation that finds interesting and unusual properties that are in need of conservation, and we give them new life. Since 1992, we've been turning historic buildings into truly special self-catering holiday accommodation. Our properties range from lighthouses and schoolhouses, to castles and gate lodges.
As an educational charity, our primary aim is to conserve and sustain iconic buildings. That's why Irish Landmark properties are living buildings, not museum settings. Irish Landmark always respects the history and architectural integrity of the structures we conserve, but we also ensure they have all the contemporary comforts you want in a holiday home.
Tullymurry House was the perfect place to celebrate a friend’s special birthday. It has everything we could have wanted. The formal dining room made for an exceptional evening dinner party. The house felt very comfortable and welcoming. We could all sit around in the kitchen and chat as we prepared food. We spent our evenings relaxing in the drawing room. It was more than a home from home. We had a wonderful time there and an experience not to be forgotten. Thank you to all who made it possible to share this great home.
Our family had a great stay and peaceful experience at this beautiful and slightly remote location.
The cottage was perfectly clean as well as warm and cosy for our October stay.
I would certainly recommend as a great getaway break and something different from the usual type of holidays we would take as a family.
A stunning lighthouse cottage in a beautiful location with views towards the mountains of Mourne and the Isle of Man. The interior of the cottage is immaculately maintained and is a credit to the house manager, Mrs Smyth, who goes above and beyond in ensuring the cottage is both cosy and welcoming for guests; a challenge in such an exposed location. However, the outside of the cottage has clearly suffered with the vagaries of the Irish weather and is in need of significant and urgent maintenance if it is not to deteriorate further. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful holiday in JP Ketch and would...more
We had a great 3 night stay at this property - everything was as good as billed in the description, if not better. The views are breathtaking and the Blackhead path cliff walk is a daily must. My two children were delighted to spot a pod of dolphins out the window and a “cloud bathing” seal out in the ocean. Cannot recommend a stay here enough.
We are just home from a 2 night stay in the Lighthouse House and it was all we hoped for and more. The house is perfectly maintained with all the lovely period touches throughout. The views are stunning. It is the perfect house to curl up by the fire and read a book on a stormy night. Pam was very quick with responses to our questions
Our family of five (three adults and 2 late teens) stayed in Blackhead 2 for three nights. We were delighted to see the place when we arrived. It is very comfortable with a real authentic feel. The views are stunning with some lovely walks outside the door. We were well looked after during our stay and would love to go back.
We stayed here for 2 nights mid October. The house was a joy, so quirky, cosy and comfortable. The underfloor heating was a real treat.
The house manager Alan has the place spotless and the house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The weather wasn’t great but we planned on lighting the stove, reading books and just chilling out. This is exactly what we did and what this house is made for. We will be back again when the batteries need a recharge.
The accommodation was as described. A place to unwind and relax. Communication with Linda was excellent, and she provided helpful tips. We would return.
I had a lovely and comfortable stay at the Barbican, I was made welcome by Alison the house manager.
There were lots of birds, cows and sheep to see and a good view from the roof.
The weather was good part of the time, then there was storm Amy and it was good to sit by the fire and relax.
It was handy to go to Carnlough or Glenarm for food and there were lots of places to go for a look around and
things to do.
Hope to go back sometime.
Loved the beautiful curved door as we entered this heritage home! We were really looking forward to staying in a unique country home, but were disappointed when we arrived as it looking very neglected and unclean from the outside. It was near a gorgeous treed area and private country road, but the sign to stay out of the area due to hunting was also a disappointment. We were met by a lovely woman who was kind and informative.
I was excited to try a stay further out of Ballycastle to explore Northern Ireland for a week and this was the perfect choice.
Love the history and charm of this property. As long as you have a good rental car or your own transport this location was amazing.
I was able to cook my own evening meals (in a spacious kitchen) and spend quiet nights by the fire. (Best purchase some wood chunks at a petrol station on the way if you want to have multiple evening fires, as there is only enough provided for one evening.)
During the day I was able to hike and explore so many places:
