I cannot add much to all the other reviews only to say I too had a delightful stay; it really is so, so much better than any Hotel. If you want slick and corporate - this is not the place; if you want a beautiful backdrop of an historic house and gardens with simple but sensitively created bedrooms, decor (and... More

My fiancee and I spent time last October at Bantry House. We have a shared love of old houses and Irish history and this place is just amazing. You can feel the history and importance of this place as soon as you enter it. We had a little lunch in the on house cafe, excellent home made produce which was... More

I have never stayed in accomodation but I do have a wonderfull memories of listening to a piano receital played during the chamber music festival (check out the programme if you plan to vist during the summer).

We visited Bantry House on a very cold December day and immediately knew that this was the magical venue we had dreamt of.... More

I was one of a privileged number of the wedding party who enjoyed a 2 night stay in the superb guest house accommodation. The bedrooms were elegant and the atmosphere... More

First, the House itself is a myriad of personal artefacts from all over the world, owned by all decendents from the 1st Earl of Bantry. The present owners run the House and couldn't be nicer. It's far removed from the typical... More
