Karen's Review Of This Property:

Marlagh Lodge dates back to 1853. It was originally built for Henry Hutchinson Hamilton O’Hara, son of local landholders and residents of nearby Crebilly Castle. Now a listed building it is described as an interesting Victorian mix of picturesque and Georgian elements, gabled bays and roof overhangs. Standing in its own grounds adjacent to the A3 secondary glazing helps to keep the high ceilinged bedrooms warm and reduces traffic noise to a minimum. Current owners Robert and Rachel Thompson have brought the property back to its former glory with the careful eye of experienced practitioners, a four poster here, a brass bed there, antiques and collectibles, black iron and tile fireplaces. The piano in the study attests to the Thompsons’ musical talents. A hearty breakfast is served in the dining room, home made bread, local produce, porridge or a traditional Ulster Fry. A twenty minute drive finds you at Belfast International airport. Marlagh Lodge is ideal for visiting Belfast but the great draw lies in the opposite directions where you find the Giants Causeway and the lovely Antrim coast.
