Northern Ireland’s rarest private houses, for large group stays.
Chosen by the people who manage the coast’s finest homes, and reserved for the weekends that matter.The collection
A house is not in because it is large. It is in because it is right.
Signatures is a small collection of private houses for large groups, each on its own ground, each run by its owners to a standard we have walked, photographed and would put our own family in. Weddings, hen weekends, milestone birthdays, retreats. One enquiry; we confirm the dates with the house, and you deal with the people who run it.

For owners · Entry to the collection
What makes a Signature house.
The collection stays small on purpose. A house is admitted when it meets all of the following, and we have walked it ourselves.
- 01Sixteen guests or more under one roof
- 02Its own grounds, with no shared access
- 03A hot tub, sauna or water at the door
- 04Run by its owners, certified and insured
- 05A standard we would put our own family in
Admitted houses are photographed and filmed by Nestled, given their own page here and marketed to the people who book houses this size. Owners keep their calendar, their guests and their way of doing things. There is no fee to join and nothing to pay until we send you a booking.
