Old maps of County Down show Tullymurry Cottage, the forerunner of the existing house. The cottage which still exists today was probably built in the early 17th century and was the precursor of an extension built ca. 1700 which comprises the present-day kitchen area and bathroom end of the house.

In Georgian times - ca 1780 - the Weir family built on the imposing front section and resided at the house until 1828. In this year John Marshall, a member of a wealthy local family, purchased the house and married Charlotte Weir. The Marshall family were extensive landowners and owned much of the Tullymurry townland; they were also responsible during their residency for establishing the beautiful parkland in front of the house.

Marshall family misfortune led to an insolvency situation in 1895 out of which Joseph McMinn of Castle Ennigan was able to purchase the house and part of the Tullymurry farm. The McMinn family were a frugal, hard-working farming family in the last century but did much to ensure that the fabric of the house was properly maintained. The house and yard complex are now owned by the fourth generation of the McMinn family since 1895.

2012 witnessed the very extensive refurbishment of the house and part of the large farmyard and its migration from a farming establishment to holiday accommodation now run by The Irish Landmark Trust. None of the unique character or atmosphere of the beautiful dwelling house has been lost during the transition process.

2013: 

Alongside four larger construction companies all involved in a significant town hall and civic centre projects across Northern Ireland, we were delighted that Messrs John McAleenan and Co, the builders entrusted with last year's extensive restoration of Tullymurry House, were also shortlisted for Northern Ireland's CEF Construction Employers Federation's "Best Restoration' excellence award 2013. Tullymurry was the only residential property to reach the final.

Winners were Messrs H & J Martin for their involvement in the prestigious Derry Guildhall phase 2 project; the Guildhall is a key arrival and welcome hub; indeed, centre piece to Derry, 2013 European City of Culture. So we were in very elevated company and exceptionally pleased to have been singled out for the final.

The CEF jurors were particularly attracted to the fine detail and original methods of construction employed at Tullymurry to ensure that none of the unique character or atmosphere of the beautiful old dwelling house were lost during the successful restoration process.

  • HEALTH AND SAFETY:

    Our buildings were made to the standards of earlier times – and sometimes without the intention that they should be lived in. Consequently, you may encounter features that reflect their particular character but that deserve due care and attention, particularly by the young, elderly, less mobile or visually impaired. Examples of these are steps worn with age, uneven surfaces, low ceilings and beams, unexpected drops or changes in level, and by modern standards low or absent lighting. In all cases we have sought to make a sensible compromise between due regard for safety and the careful retention of the fabric of each building, which makes it an interesting place to stay. We ask you to appreciate and use the building with this understanding. If you have any queries about the property you are interested in and would like more clarification, please contact Irish Landmark at bookings@irishlandmark.com.

Guest Reviews

A Step Away from Reality

“Our second time staying in Tullymurry House did not disappoint! The house and gardens are beautiful, and with the added bonus of the wellness area, it feels like a step away from reality. The house is well equipped with everything you would need and so much thought has been given to making it as comfortable as possible. We will definitely be staying again!” 

Old Style Elegance, with Modern Comfort

“Tullymurry house is absolutely stunning. It has wonderful period features but yet has all mod cons. It is amazingly spacious. We were seven adults and two children and there was plenty of room. All the beds were comfortable and it was wonderfully peaceful. The grounds were fabulous for walking, sitting and dining. The wellness area is extremely high quality and spacious. The house was fully equipped and the house manager was very efficient and helpful.”
