“still relaxed two weeks after return- bliss!”

Bantry House is a truly unique and wonderful place to stay. Sophie (Manager and daughter of family) is so friendly and approachable - everyone made us feel so welcome and all of their recommendations for meals out/local pubs or day trips were spot on.

“Experience of a lifetime”

Reviewed February 7, 2013

This spot has magnificent views across the bay and the rooms are situated in a wing of the house. At night they close off some of the rooms but you have access to the library, fireplaces and billiards room. We stayed for a week as a base to explore ring of Kerry, etc. You can walk into town for restaurants.... More
