    Just what we needed… Albeit at the side of a road the road is extremely quiet with very little traffic at all… It’s secluded and charming, quaint, elegant and timely….. 2 donkeys in the field right beside it whom we named Bacardi & Coke…!

Company information

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.

Property information

The Drum is a unique and pretty two storey gatelodge. The Drum is situated on a quiet country road - and its rustic setting makes it an ideal romantic retreat from the stresses of everyday life. Drum Gate Lodge was built at the end of a long avenue of beech trees at the western edge of the Ballylough Estate in 1800, by Archdeacon Traill two years after he bought the estate. His family are still in residence. Strictly 1 pet permitted - Guests MUST inform host at time of booking if a pet will be staying.
