Underwood House was built in 1785 for Captain John Kennedy, the last resident of Greenan Castle (now a teetering cliff-top ruin). The house was comprehensively upgraded in 2021, now combining modern luxury with unique Georgian features.
The Garden Flat is a spacious and comfortable apartment with luxury fittings and furnishings and high speed wireless internet throughout. There are four luxurious bedrooms, all with super-comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms, each with a bath and plumbed overhead shower.
