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.

My husband and I spent four days at St John’s. Such a beautiful and relaxing place. The house was so comfortable and cosy, had everything we needed and was spotless and so well kept. We were very lucky to meet the lighthouse keeper who was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The manager Suzan was extremely friendly and helpful- gave us such great advice on the area and places to visit. We left feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated!

We had a wonderful stay at JP Ketch. From booking to check out, Suzan the house manager was responsive, knowledgeable and very kind. She made us feel at home the minute we arrived. While the exterior of the property is understandably weathered, there is no need for concern as the cottage is beautifully kept inside, cosy, clean and it has everything you need for a lovely stay. The location is idyllic. Beautiful views of the sea from the living spaces and along with the beams of the lighthouse at nighttime, instantly promote feelings of calm. Beds are comfortable if not very soft. Enough towels ...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.

Gorgeous, cozy and atmospheric old mill, sensitively repurposed to stay in. I loved the sitting comfortably inside listening to the river raging outside! Great location, Bushmills is a lovely town with nice restaurants and cafes.

We stayed at Drum with our two dogs across a rainy weekend in January and had a great time. Drum is so warm and cosy with the underfloor heating and the stove in the sitting room - it was made for a lovely cosy retreat. Even with the bad weather we were able to get to Mussenden Temple and Giant's Causeway (which are both dog friendly!) We had great meals at Bushmills Inn and Harry's Shack and got lovely takeaway pastries and bread from Ursa Minor. Alan, the House Manager, has the Drum in perfect shape and the dogs loved the dog treats and we appreciated the extra dog towels which helped with t...more

Our stay was arranged as a surprise for a significant birthday, something lovely & unique seemed appropriate. The whole Barbican experience was amazing, from dealing with Alison who looks after the property & TBH is as fantastic as the property! Our arrival at the huge green doors, ascending the beautiful spiral staircase and exploring the rooms produced gasps & a few tears of joy from the birthday girl! Walking by the river, nightcaps on the roof under a full moon, being lulled off to sleep by the river, lounging in the biggest bath I've ever used, being woken by the birds in the morning, to...more

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.

Our housekeeper, Alison, was there to meet us on our arrival on Friday afternoon and gave us a quick tour of our cosy cottage, it was a cold day and the fire was blazing. The accommodation was spotless and had every amenity we required for cooking, etc. The garden and surrounding fields and laneway were covered with beautiful snowdrops. We brought our dog Rosie on this trip and she too was well spoilt. Thanks Alison
