Bankead House -The Creative Retreat

An 18th Century granite house located in the heart of the old village, Bankhead provides bright and characterful three bedroom accommodation with views over the village to the sea and glorious sunsets. In addition, the house includes a complementary art studio for sole use of guests – a great messy space for everyone to make a masterpiece!

“The house is a gem, comfortable and relaxed in lovely, quirky Gardenstown. We’ve all had a fantastic time, a truly memorable holiday. And the studio – what a treat!”

Originally the village ironmongers, the house is decorated in soft whites and greens to reflect the landscape.

Guests are provided with towels, bedlinen, and complementary tea, coffee, washing up liquid and toilet roll. Included in the hire of the cottage is a lovely studio with tables, chairs and easels – great for messy art work, drying beach gear or play.

The cottage is no smoking. Pets by pre-arrangement only. Please note, studio is ground floor but accommodation is on the 1st and 2nd floors – not suitable for those with restricted mobility.
