This was the perfect surprise birthday gift for my husband! He has always loved lighthouses and this was his dream stay. It was quiet and near enough to surrounding areas where we explored during the day. Paula and Aidan were very friendly. Thank you.
JP Ketch, like all lighthouse cottages, is not comparable with your ordinary self catering. Its location, even though it is only 4km from Killough, feels like it belongs to another world. From many parts of the house, all you can see is the sea and the sky. Considering the limitations its age puts on the adoption of modern amenities, it's a really comfortable place to be. Suzan is excellent at reaching out to make sure you have everything you need. The kitchen is really well-equipped for self-caterers while the armchairs there just invite sitting and gazing out to sea. The stairs is a bit of a...more
Blackhead Lighthouse is a spectacular location with stunning views and refreshing walks. The accommodation is clean and practical. In keeping with the lifestyle of days gone by. It’s hard to keep paintwork fresh so close to the sea but perhaps a fresh coat of white paint would enhance the property. No complaints , we had a wonderful stay.
From the first picture on Internet I was impressed but after coming it was even more than I expected. Beautiful place to stay, not just accommodation it's the location and people. From Pamela who was always there for any questions to the locals who made us welcome and want to come back again and staying longer next time . Thank you !
Our stay at the Kiln Wing, Old Corn Mill capped a remarkably enjoyable holiday. The building has been sensitively and painstakingly restored in a way that combines modern amenities and facilities with the retention of wonderful period details, sustainable use of materials wherever possible and a priceless view to an adjacent mill with a working water wheel on the opposite side of the river. The sound of running water over the weir between the two also makes for an incredibly relaxing stay. We enjoyed reading about the building's history and remarkable restoration while also taking full ...more
Our fourth time staying here. What a delight! A perfect place to unwind, the views over Belfast Lough worth the money themselves. Whitehead has so much to offer for eating out and lovely walks. The Lighthouse is just the perfect place to relax. Pam, our host, must be applauded for her upkeep of the three houses and is a credit to the Trust. We are already planning our 5th stay!
We stayed at Drum with our two dogs across a rainy weekend in January and had a great time. Drum is so warm and cosy with the underfloor heating and the stove in the sitting room - it was made for a lovely cosy retreat. Even with the bad weather we were able to get to Mussenden Temple and Giant's Causeway (which are both dog friendly!) We had great meals at Bushmills Inn and Harry's Shack and got lovely takeaway pastries and bread from Ursa Minor. Alan, the House Manager, has the Drum in perfect shape and the dogs loved the dog treats and we appreciated the extra dog towels which helped with t...more
Unique place. Stay in your own mini-castle! Good clear booking process and joining instructions. Glenarm is a lovely village. Eat at Morans and walk/run in Glenarm Forest (well marked hilly loop). Glenarm castle garden is stunning. Lots of spiral steps so not suitable for people with mobility difficulties and tricky with large suitcases. The double bed is comfortable but it has a top and a bottom so not suitable if you’re six feet two. Overall, unforgettable.
We really enjoyed our couple of days. The lodge is so comfortable and tastefully refurbished. We'd recommend staying here to anyone who feels the need of a quite peaceful retreat. We were fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful bluebells and we're able to take long walks in the estate grounds.
Our housekeeper, Alison, was there to meet us on our arrival on Friday afternoon and gave us a quick tour of our cosy cottage, it was a cold day and the fire was blazing. The accommodation was spotless and had every amenity we required for cooking, etc. The garden and surrounding fields and laneway were covered with beautiful snowdrops. We brought our dog Rosie on this trip and she too was well spoilt. Thanks Alison
