I've read many of the reviews of Bantry House and I agree with all the good things that have been written. I traveled with my mother who has an incredible green thumb and love of gardens. We booked last minute and only stayed one night, nevertheless, we were warmly welcomed and everyone we met was extremely friendly and helpful. My... More

It's far removed from the typical... More

The experience of staying In Bantry House cannot be reflected by traditional star rating systems- this really is more than a country House with rooms, it is like being welcomed into a family heritage of bygone time. The family still own the house and it is a real family hands on business, they are very much in evidence and so... More
