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.
Our stay in the Blackhead Lighthouse was exceptional! Beautiful accommodations and location. The scenery is breath taking. Everything was as advertised. A very relaxing stay, very quiet, no tv's or internet. Just a wonderful fireplace, games and puzzles. The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed. The entire property was very clean and well maintained. We walked to town, just over a mile along the beach and cliffs. Whitehead is a cute little town. Note, plan ahead for meals in town as there are limited options. The restaurants are good and the pubs are friendly and inviting....more
Our third time staying in this superb location, and will not be our last. So peaceful, tranquility personified. Pam, the host, is a credit to the Trust. We'll be booking our next visit soon.
Another amazing stay at The Kiln Wing. A perfect spot to completely relax and chill before the madness of Christmas. We had A few days without taking the car out. Everything you need is within walking distance. Recommend Maegden Deli for amazing coffee, toasties and oh my their treats are delicious. Bushmills Townhouse for drinks and/or dinner. The Courthouse for a delicious brunch or lunch and lots of lovely local craft shopping. We then had a couple of days going further afield. Enjoying this beautiful coastline, towns and villages. As always Harry’s Shack on PortStewart Strand ...more
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 Barbican is really unique and each room is full of character- vaulted ceilings, winding stair, flagstone floors. It was very comfortable and warm. The furnishings were lovely and complemented the rooms. The Glenarm estate and the surrounding village were great- many walks to choose from. We had a very nice evening meal in the village at the local seafood bistro, followed by a drink at the pub across the road, both within an easy walking distance of the Barbican.
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: Binevenagh Fore...more
