The estate

The grounds of the old Cromore Estate

Cromore House was built in the 1770s and still stands further up the road, listed since 1976. John Cromie lived there, and in 1792 he founded Portstewart, naming the town after his mother’s family, the Stewarts of Ballyleese. At its height the estate ran to more than 7,000 acres across Londonderry and Antrim.

Our five domes sit in the woodland of that estate, in the townland of Ballyleese North. Each has its own clearing, four have a hot tub outside, and all are adults only. Portstewart Strand is two minutes down the road.
