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.
I booked a couple of nights away as a surprise present for my sister's 60th birthday, and the location and property made it a perfect break. Positioned right at the tip of the peninsula, with no TV, internet and little mobile reception made it a fantastic place to get away, switch off, and relax.
We were met at the property by Suzan who showed us around and filled us in on some of the history of the lighthouse - very friendly and informative.
The cottage is well furnished, warm, and quiet (VERY thick walls!) and the kitchen has pretty much all you could need.
Staying at JP Ketch and watching the lighthouse glow at night is a total reset. The experience of staying in a beautifully well equipped and maintained lighthouse keeper cottage was fantastic for my friends and I. We played board games and chilled out with our books and enjoyed all the comforts of this spotless homely and historic place. The area is very beautiful and there were plenty of interesting coastal places to visit and enjoy good food. The hosts were also really friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable. I’d love to go back there again.
A once in a lifetime place to stay.
You feel like you’re at the edge of the world with incredible views across the Irish Sea.
With the lighthouse light slowly moving and a fire in the living room you feel like you’re on a movie set.
Won’t soon forget my stay.
There is no better way to experience our history than immersion! Fully modernized and such an easy stay that puts you in the midst of the countryside while having easy access to northern coast and the village of Bushmills. Wake up to the farm animals, the birds, squirrels and patient faces of neighbor donkeys while preparing your breakfast in your bare feet on heated floors!
Not quite how they had to do it 100 years ago but a truly wonderful opportunity to engage in a space and story so strongly linked to the past. Comfortable bedding, well equipped kitchen and a generous bathroom. Gorgeous...more
