“I see the role of Unique Irish Homes as a facilitator, for all the people like me, who want our holiday experience to be comfortable, relaxing and completely individual – and that’s what we do.”

Rosie Campbell

Director, Unique Irish Homes

About Us

The Founder’s Story

In 2012 Graham and Rosie Campbell began a new business adventure…
As serial entrepreneurs, Rosie and Graham have always been ahead of the curve – starting with The Natural Interior, a successful interior shop in the 90’s to launching Ireland’s first Asian fusion restaurant in early 2000’s, they’ve never been afraid to take a leap of faith. Unique Irish Homes is one of those, it launched back in 2014. Born from a curiosity of what was around each corner or down a dirt pathway and from the lack of home rental facilitators in Ireland they started Unique Irish Homes having used larger and more complicated rental sites in the past to rent their beautiful cottage in County Kerry.

Rosie and Graham’s quirky outlook on life is reflected in what they have created in Unique Irish Homes.
They both have a passion for promoting Ireland and have been lucky enough to travel all over the world but have always adored what was right on our doorstep. Similarly UIH homeowners have done the same, making each property unique to them and their story.

“We have always had our antenna tuned to different styles and out-there locations. This has led to the eclectic collection of homes on UIH.”
Quote from Graham Campbell

Their constant search for homes throughout Ireland will continue as will their new foreign departure with the upcoming Unique Homes Away from Home. Later this year we will be launching homes in Scotland, Spain, Italy and France.

Each property is hand-picked by Rosie and Graham, personally visiting the home and its owner before adding to the UIH collection.

We hope that you have an experience that you will be proud to pass on to your friends and family.

“The cottage and gardens were beyond amazing.”

It was truly a unique experience. From the best welcome pack I’ve ever seen – fresh veggies from the garden – bread, eggs butter marmalade wine chocolates…. Not to mention the 6 ! beautiful flower arrangements (from the garden)

It was all about the garden. There was so much in flower and Frank the caretaker welcomed us to stroll around the greenhouse and grounds at our leisure. We met the amazing team who kept the place so beautiful and couldn’t have been more helpful. They simply thought of everything … bikes were pumped up and ready and the house had everything and more we needed. Would love to come back!

“The house was absolutely gorgeous, and it was so conveniently located.”

Right on the water, steps from the village, and close to DART. The interior designer did a fabulous job with the home, and we were very comfortable throughout our stay. I could not recommend this home and this neighborhood more. Simply fantastic, we could not be happier about our stay.

“It is one of the prettiest apartments we have ever stayed in.”

Anna’s place and Kinsale was the highlight of our trip. The place is centrally located and is a short walk to great restaurants, coffee shops and the kids playground. The view is breathtaking and Anna has put her heart and soul into doing up the apartment. The place had all modern amenities and was super comfortable for us and our two kids. Our 5 year old was fascinated by the bunk bed in her room and Anna pampered the kids with goodies and gifts that made the kids super excited. Anna is a super host and was kind enough to procure some of the finest (locally sourced) items for us in the house.

All her recommendations (food and sightseeing both) were outstanding and we would have never discovered these hidden gems in and around Kinsale if we were staying in a hotel or elsewhere!! Can’t wait to visit Kinsale and Anna’s beautiful abode again. Thank you Anna for an amazing experience!!

“Bell house was beautiful, a gorgeous quiet location and peaceful setting.”

The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The hosts Christabel and Stewart are very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in visiting it again or recommending it to anyone looking for a nice countryside break.
