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.
We had a wonderful time at the property made even nicer by some fantastic weather. The house has so much character and is well equipped throughout, the spa rooms were brilliant too. Natasha was extremely helpful and we are already planning a return visit.
We always look forward to our time spent at St John’s point
It’s so peaceful and the location is great to get away from the busy streets in our hometown
We can relax and enjoy the tranquility of the area
We [myself, my husband and my brother and sister-in-law from England] often stay in self-catering accommodation, but this was certainly the best we have been in. The meeting with the house manager was welcoming and informative, and we really enjoyed the experience of the sea [including during Storm Ashley!] from a very comfortable place.
The accommodation was excellent for us, but it should be stressed that the challenging staircase, while excitingly authentic for the able-bodied, make this less suitable for the disabled, or very young children.
We stayed for a weekend at Blackhead Cutter, and despite the winding road access, we were treated to a beautifully-restored lighthouse accommodation. Blackhead Cutter is a perfect combination of history with modern amenities, and we spent a comfortable couple of nights in the house and exploring the country around. Even a storm on the last night didn't disturb our sleep. Pamela was helpful and welcoming and I couldn't recommend this accommodation more highly.
This is a very charming place. It is located close to everything in Bushmills. Can walk to restaurants, groceries and tasting at Bushmills distillery. The property was well stocked in the kitchen for cooking breakfast (more if you want). Listening to the river run was relaxing while there. Rooms were large with lots of storage for clothing.
The only thing I would prefer it the bed to be a king.
We had a beautiful stay at the Blackhead. The location is absolutely stunning, with direct view of the lighthouse from the cosy living room. The house is equipped with everything you need and tastefully furnished and decorated. Sam was a great host, giving us the brilliant tip to do the scenic Blackhead path which leads from the Lighthead to the nearby village of Whitehead. I would recommend this stay to everyone, especially the ones who like to enjoy the peace and quiet surrounded by the forces of nature.
A beautiful property in an even more beautiful location.
Drum Gatelodge is just a short car journey from some of Ireland's most scenic sites, the Giants Causeway and Portstewart strand, and wonderful towns such as Bushmills, Portrush, Portstewart, and Ballycastle.
There is lots to see and do if you love the outdoors, and Drum Gatelodge offers the perfect platform to do so.
Barbican was the most magical unique stay I’ve ever had. Felt unreal to stay in such a beautiful place in quaint little town and was the highlight of my first trip to Ireland. I can’t recommend it enough, Glenarm and Barbican will forever hold such a special place in my heart now.
Loved this place had a brilliant 2 night stay we were so chilled and relaxed here open fire just made it for us. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the manager Monica.
