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.
Our family had a great stay and peaceful experience at this beautiful and slightly remote location.
The cottage was perfectly clean as well as warm and cosy for our October stay.
I would certainly recommend as a great getaway break and something different from the usual type of holidays we would take as a family.
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.
Our stay in the Blackhead Lighthouse was exceptional! Beautiful accommodations and location. The scenery is breath taking. Everything was as advertised. A very relaxing stay, very quiet, no tv's or internet. Just a wonderful fireplace, games and puzzles. The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed. The entire property was very clean and well maintained.
We walked to town, just over a mile along the beach and cliffs. Whitehead is a cute little town. Note, plan ahead for meals in town as there are limited options. The restaurants are good and the pubs are friendly and inviting....more
Our third time staying in this superb location, and will not be our last. So peaceful, tranquility personified. Pam, the host, is a credit to the Trust. We'll be booking our next visit soon.
The highlight of our trip to Ireland! What a beautiful place, in a great location. So much to do and see in the area, we really enjoyed our time here and cooking in the fully equipped kitchen. Thank you to Linda.
We stayed here for 2 nights mid October. The house was a joy, so quirky, cosy and comfortable. The underfloor heating was a real treat.
The house manager Alan has the place spotless and the house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The weather wasn’t great but we planned on lighting the stove, reading books and just chilling out. This is exactly what we did and what this house is made for. We will be back again when the batteries need a recharge.
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.
I was excited to try a stay further out of Ballycastle to explore Northern Ireland for a week and this was the perfect choice.
Love the history and charm of this property. As long as you have a good rental car or your own transport this location was amazing.
I was able to cook my own evening meals (in a spacious kitchen) and spend quiet nights by the fire. (Best purchase some wood chunks at a petrol station on the way if you want to have multiple evening fires, as there is only enough provided for one evening.)
During the day I was able to hike and explore so many places:
