The cottage is in a stunning location. It is well equipped with everything you need. Clean and comfortable with plenty of nautical themed literature. Feels like stepping back in time!
Our group of eight had a wonderful time in Tullymurry and were blown away by the standard of this beautiful renovation. The house is warm, comfortable and the jewel in the crown is the relaxation area where we very much enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi. Firelighters, twigs and wood were provided to keep both fires lighting in the evenings along with a kitchen stocked with every utensil needed. 10/10 experience
A stunning lighthouse cottage in a beautiful location with views towards the mountains of Mourne and the Isle of Man. The interior of the cottage is immaculately maintained and is a credit to the house manager, Mrs Smyth, who goes above and beyond in ensuring the cottage is both cosy and welcoming for guests; a challenge in such an exposed location. However, the outside of the cottage has clearly suffered with the vagaries of the Irish weather and is in need of significant and urgent maintenance if it is not to deteriorate further. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful holiday in JP Ketch and would...more
We had a fantastic 2 day stay at Blackhead Lighthouse. A magical, haunting place. The house was authentic and warm, the views were astounding. The coastal walk into Whitehead village is something I won't forget. It really was like stepping back in time, to a quieter, gentler world. I will be trying other ILT properties after this.
The title and 5 rating says it all. The lighthouse was a perfect way to end our 3 week tour of the island. It was very, clean, comfortable and the view was tremendous. I would highly recommend a stay to anyone who could appreciate the history and the beauty of the area.
I know you can't control the weather, but it was so sunny it was beautiful. However, I suspect that whatever the weather this beautiful, warm, clean home would be stunning. We had a such a lovely time, enjoying the scenery, eating and laughing together, and swimming in the sea at Port Much and Whitehead Harbour. Perfect!
The accommodation was as described. A place to unwind and relax. Communication with Linda was excellent, and she provided helpful tips. We would return.
Full marks to the Irish Landmark Trust for rescuing this unique gate lodge. Now providing warm, clean and comfortable holiday accommodation in a most tranquil corner of Ulster. Especially appreciated was the relevant reading material eg many journals and reports from the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society. Perfect for the inevitable wet day. Also greatly welcomed was the inclusion of our dog who settled in immediately. This was the original reason for our visit but we hope to return for all the reasons above.
We had such a lovely, chilled-out weekend here. The lodge is beautiful and hasn't been over restored. The grounds of the estate are spectacular, and very walkable. Journeys to Enniskillen and Castle Crom took around 25 minutes.
I had a lovely and comfortable stay at the Barbican, I was made welcome by Alison the house manager. There were lots of birds, cows and sheep to see and a good view from the roof. The weather was good part of the time, then there was storm Amy and it was good to sit by the fire and relax. It was handy to go to Carnlough or Glenarm for food and there were lots of places to go for a look around and things to do. Hope to go back sometime.
Very enjoyable stay in a lovely lodge with good access to Giants Causeway. Kitchen was well supplied for cooking at home and we were surrounded by lovely countryside. Property had WiFi and was warm and cosy.
