Superb restoration of a cottage full of character. We have stayed in sixteen ILT properties and this is arguably the best! Our congratulations to the Irish Landmark Trust for this work. The Housekeeper was very helpful and friendly. Tiny criticisms: the level of lighting in the living room was very dim, and the sofa was a bit uncomfortable for a shorter person...
We stayed in the house for a family birthday with some new babies in the middle of a cold snap and it was gloriously luxurious warm and perfect for everyone. Great facilities for caterers, really close to the Burren for a walk and stunning open fires. I’d really recommend it for any sort of family event. Debbie was so helpful and accommodating. The one thing I would remind guests is to bring table linen and toiletries.
Our second time to stay in this magnificent house, within the city, only a couple of minutes' walk to Grand Parade. Once inside the fort, peace and tranquility transcends. Garrison House is like a big hug. Warm, welcoming, and spotlessly clean. Very well equipped kitchen, great stove in the living room, and THE most comfortable beds. Not to mention the great bathroom and powerful shower! Will we return again? Absolutely yes! Well done, again, Irish Landmark Trust!
Hard to find the right words to describe this amazing life experience. The cottage is in pristine condition with all the amenities you need, with large living spaces , bedrooms and bathrooms. Galley Heads position on the coast is beautiful with the scenery constantly changing. Gerald is an absolute treasure, who took the time to share his knowledge about the light and area, we can't thank him enough for giving us his time and to Maree also.
This was a gorgeous little cottage, full of character in a fantastic location. I went with a friend and we loved using the cottage as a cosy base for us to explore the area. You can tell that the house is well looked after, it felt loved and it had everything we needed. The stove was wonderful keeping the cottage lovely and cosy, even in December. We really had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend a visit, I'd love to come back again.
Stayed with my son, Ronan, and brother, John for 4 nights. Big thanks to Gerard for presenting us with a beautifuly kept house. The house is well equiped and very cosy inside. We arrived with all our food - dont forget anything - its a long drive back to the shops and not one I'd favour in the dark! Swam every day off the landing and visited Donegal town, Killybegs and many other places - just drive along the coast following the Wild Atlantic Way signs. We visited Slieve League - breathtaking! We visited The Silver Strand beach at Malinbeg - not to be missed. Had a beautiful swim there....more
What a memorable family experience! So fun to be able to say our family stayed in a real working light house. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer and settle in. Two days was not enough!
We loved our stay at the Parade House. It’s located in the heart of the city in an amazing historic fort. We were hoping for a unique stay and the Parade House delivered. Geraldine was responsive to our questions and while we never met her in person, felt fully supported in our stay. The guides at the fort, especially Olivan, and the lovely owner of TWOMEYS shop across the road were also helpful and informative. Finally, while it costs a few euro more than we Were hoping to spend, it was well worth it and we are happy to know that our contribution is helping to protect and restore th...more
It was a wonderful place to relax and to wind-down after a busy December. The house is perfectly equipped and has everything you need. The warm welcome and all the details are just great.
Great place to stay..very romantic and a perfect base for all that is in the area... and there is so much!! Repeat visitors..!
I am honestly suprised that a place this good is available for this price. The property is very well maintained, comfortable and well appointed. The location is in a very nice part of Dublin, well within walking distance of lots of restaurants, pubs, shops, parks. The communication with Arron (location manager) was excellent. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Dublin for 2-7 days.
I've always wanted to live in a lighthouse ever since I watched the series ''The Lives & Loves of a She-devil' about a writer who lived in one. If you love crashing waves, rugged scenery, you'll love this place. We were lucky enough to get a beautiful sunny day and a storm - all in three days. Tips: Make sure you bring plenty of groceries to sustain your party during your stay as well as milk for beverages. If you like real coffee bring ground coffee for the cafeteria provided. Also briquettes and firelighters as there is only enough for one evening. Keep Gail updated about your arriva...more
What an absolute privilege to stay in such a unique location. Would definitely recommend for families, couples or small groups, you can even bring a four legged friend! Will no doubt be visiting again. Special thanks to Mary for welcoming us so warmly.
Four of us stayed in January 2025 and from the moment we stepped inside we felt warm, cosy and at home. It was so special. The peace and quiet, sound of the wind outside and stunning views and walks all contributed to make it a truly magical destination.
We had a gorgeous few days in the Railway Cottage in January. Set in a lovely wooded garden, it felt secluded and quiet though only 2km from Donegal town. Gerard was so helpful and made sure our stay was comfortable, and he kindly accommodated a late arrival. The cottage is close to some amazing beaches such as Portnoo which our dogs loved.
First, I have to mention how wonderful our host Breda was. She was very informative and approachable. Her love for the property and pride in her community was on full display. She had information on all that the surrounding town and countryside had to offer. Many were real hidden gems that wouldn't make the guidebooks. The Batty Langley Lodge was a dream. We stayed for 10 days and honestly were very sad to leave. The only detraction was the lack of WiFi for my husband to keep up with his business. He was able to get WiFi at a coffee shop in town easily though. On the other hand, I enjoyed ...more
We stayed at Termon and enjoyed the amazing views of the ocean from almost every window from the back and side of the cottage. We loved the location and spent the days sightseeing. The locals were very friendly and myself and my children felt welcomed at the local pub, a short walk from the cottage. Claire, the house manager does a super job looking after the house and was so friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would love to come back again.
Very central, plenty to explore in Cellbridge, good choice for places to eat, good public transport if you don't have a car and the accommodation was totally quaint and cosy, definitely a blast from the past but comfortable and well heated. Kitchen well equipped if cooking yourself.
We found it to be very cosy and it was wonderful to disconnect from the world for a while. The property is very special and it is definitely worth a visit.
