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.
this is the one place i will always go back to, this was my fifth visit to this magical property. I can't convey how much I adore it. In all the four seasons it is amazing. I will come back every year as long as I can. Suzan and Pauline look after it so well. The beds and linen are amazing, I always sleep well and never want to leave.
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
We are glad to have experienced a very different accommodation for a weekend away. A quiet place away from busy life and perfect to disconnect. A building filled with history. The cottage was spotless, decorated with taste and full of interesting books. It was more spacious than anticipated. We had clear nights during which we watched shooting stars, bats and the beam of the lighthouse go round. It was magical!
Susan and Paula gave us a warm welcome. The cottage is close to nice beaches, mountain and forest walks so it is a perfect base for discovering the area.
The lighthouse cottage’s are a brilliant place to come for a break away from the rollercoaster of life! Take time out. Admire the views, and the sunrise. Take long walks. Wild swim if that’s your bag. Just enjoy!
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 a wonderful stay at the Barbican. Peaceful and relaxing. What a fabulous place. Alison the host was wonderful and had useful tips for local restaurants. Morans in the village is well worth booking in advance.
The lodge itself is beautiful and charming and in a wonderful area however my review is very poor for almost everything as this is based entirely on how dirty the lodge was. Apart from the fresh bedclothes and towels the whole lodge was dirty and didn’t appear to have been cleaned prior to our arrival. Kitchen counters, kitchen sink and table were dirty. Fridge & freezer was dirty with half a bag of veg in the freezer. Kitchen bin was not empty. Lots of dead flies in upstairs reading room, which room only had one kitchen chair in it. The bathroom toilet was far from clean. All surfaces wer...more
