We loved the house & the gardens. There was so much character and atmosphere in the house. We had three generations of family from 70 years to eighteen months & all thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The children loved the grounds, while the adults had a lovely dinner in the dining room
Sloop Lighthouse Cottage at St John’s Point is an interesting, comfortable and well equipped cottage in a most amazing location. We were made very welcome by Suzan and Paula. There is great walking along the coast and in the Mourne Mountains. Thoroughly recommended.

We had the best time, the house was so warm and comfortable with big sash windows overlooking the sea. The location was perfect for day trips and it was nice to have a comfortable house to come home too every evening. Big thanks to Pamela for her kindness and for maintaining this historic property to such a high standard
Unique experience. Bring provisions. You won't want to leave. Right on a cliff walk to town about 1 km away. Plenty of room to spread out.
Another lovely stay at an Irish Landmark Trust gatelodge. This is now our third short stay in as many months at one of their delightful gate lodges. Each has a unique character and all have been very enjoyable and restful. If this one were a fairytale it would be Beauty and the Beast. Drum gatelodge is set in a rural landscape and has an interesting social history. Its overall character is derived from the shape of its construction. The main living area and first floor bedroom being perfectly round. The lodge is beautiful and the beasts are the icing on the cake. The front porch overlooks a f...more
It was a wonderful experience to stay at the lighthouse. The views were spectacular, we had everything we needed and more in terms of the house facilities, and everyone was very comfortable with the sleeping and living areas.
Loved this property and an absolutely lovely change from the regular cut ansld paste hotels you normally use. The setting is picturesque the river provided a constant "brown noise" so be aware if you need total silence to sleep this is not for you but was wonderful for me and my wife. The property does have a certain rustic scent to it which while not unpleasant is noticible when you walk in first and feels like home after a few minites. Suggest you reverse into the property if driving as turning is tight. There is a metal seat at the bathroom entrance that i kept walking into when leaving the...more
Really special place, we had a lovely time. The views and walks are particularly amazing. Walter was really helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks!
The property and location was amazing. We felt like we stepped back in the past to a more relaxing and fulfilling time period...Loved the 7.2km walk along the river. Adored the Barbican which we found to be a unique experience. Found our drives up and down the Antrim coast as breathtaking. The sea was so calm especially considering it was mid November. Could not recommend it enough.
Such a wonderful time of the year to stay at this gate lodge. The surrounding trees were in full Autumn splendour and their golds, reds and yellows were draped in mist. The lodge was so comfortable and welcoming and it was always lovely to return to when our adventures for the day were finished. The place was spotless and the furnishings were tasteful and charming. Plenty to do and see in this general area including a great cave walk.if you venture a little further. I will be searching out other Irish Landmark Trust properties.
This is a perfect place to stay to appreciate the beauty of NI and easily visit the causeway, rope bridge and north Antrim coast. The manager ensures the lodge is clean and comfortable. Thank you. It was a delight.
