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.
What a wonderful experience from the children to the Grandparents. They all really enjoy the experience and we would return in a heartbeat.
The house had everything we required and it was marvellous to stay in such an unique property.
Van Morrison wrote a song called “Coney Island” about trips he took with his Mam that included St John’s point and all the other places we visited during our stay. Van was right when he said “And the craic was good” - we had a fantastic few days here. Stunning location and such a comfortable place to stay. We loved it !
Loved our stay in the light keepers house, taking a step back into history/ time.
Amazing location, views of Belfast lough and Scotland
Pamela very attentive and helpful
Yes staying at a lighthouse on the coast is cool, but this stay was above any expectations. It had a well-fitted modern kitchen, was decorated with lovely embroideries, comfortable beds, a place to take a nice bath, and a magical path down to the beach through a cave!
This was the most beautiful accommodation , the whole family loved the house and the original features . The most amazing views that we couldn’t get enough of and so incredibly quiet , peaceful and relaxing . We will have memories and photos of this place for a long time to come ! Thank you !
Linda was so very helpful in getting us settled into this beautifully restored Corn Mill home. The location was perfect for being close to all the lovely shops, restaurants and sites of Bushmills. It was such a delight to stay so close to the two beautiful waterfalls. I even caught a glimpse of a fish jumping up one of them! The home is spacious and full of light. Kitchen and bathroom stocked with what we needed for a comfortable stay. There are Lovely antiques throughout this home. Parking was on site. Loved our stay!
Excellent stay and excellent communications with house manager. Two points to make:
The bushes that are in left and right of path to front door are overgrown and overlapped the path, meaning the lower part of our trousers became wet from the bushes each time we entered or exited the front door- hedge trimming if these bushes would resolve it.
10 am checkout time is very early for any landmark trust house - 11am would be better for visitors and still allow five hours for hse mgr to prepare for a 4pm check in for a new arrival. 11am more in line with hotels too.
Thank you for a lovely stay...more
Very, very different and you need to be fit and able because of the spiral staircase, which you may get fed up with, but overall we loved it.
Each of the three floors has its own charm.
The bedroom and adjoining bathroom were beautiful, the only drawback is the water pressure as to be able to fill the beautiful bath you would need to be staying a week.
The kitchen/sitting area is superb, 2 very comfortable armchairs in front of an excellent fireplace. Good cooking and eating facilities with an adequate fridge.
The rooftop area had great views, on a good day a great place to eat and the ram...more
We truly enjoyed the walks and forestry areas.
We have great respect for these Irish Historical Buildings and love to support their survival.
On our walk we met with Viscount and Viscountess Brookeborough, we wish to thank them kindly for a wonderful stay.
We will most definitely stay again.
We had such a wonderful stay at the Magherintemple Lodge. It is cozy, spacious, and peaceful - everything we were looking for during our escape from the city. The garden is the perfect place to read a book in the morning and soak up the sun (if you're lucky enough to get it, like we were!). Grateful for this unique experience staying in such a historic building.
