Perfect for our family

Bansha Castle was better than the pictures!! It's large, yet cozy and comfortable. The expansive yard was such a treat for our grandchildren and the back courtyard was a perfect retreat...even in the rain! We could not have asked for anything better!! I would absolutely stay here again. Added bonus....The hosts-John and Teresa- were amazing!

Bansha Castle is awesome

This is a beautiful spacious castle. Everyone had their own bathroom/shower. There is a lot of relaxing space inside and a large covered patio area with heat lamps available to use outside. Great country setting and we were able to take many day trips to interesting sites in the area. Very friendly, accommodating couple that own the castle

Perfect Location for Touring

Twelve of us stayed in this lovely castle for two weeks. The older kids enjoyed the grounds for soccer, running, and ball tossing. There was lots of room indoors to put down play areas for the baby. We explored all over the south of Ireland and the location of Bansha allowed us to comfortably return home each day! The castle owners were welcoming and very good about answering any questions that we had.

A Perfect Celebration!

Bansha Castle was the perfect setting to celebrate my 80th birthday with family and friends. The accommodation was elegant, comfortable, and homey, and the hosts, John and Teresa were more than welcoming. They arranged a night of music for us that was enjoyed by all and made for a very special birthday party, and also recommended an excellent caterer, Kay Ryan and her husband Shane, who provided tasty breakfasts and some delicious evening buffets for us. It was a week of celebration enjoyed by all.

Castle life

Teresa and John were excellent hosts. Showed us round the property when we arrived. We were struck by how clean the property was, especially important during these difficult times. Very attentive to any needs or queries that arose during our stay, yet seamlessly invisible at other times! We felt we had total privacy. Property has everything we needed for our stay, two families. Not a huge amount to see or do in the area, especially at the minute, but we enjoyed some local walks.

Better than expected - Visit Bansha Castle!

Our family met at the Castle for a week long visit to Ireland to explore our family heritage. This was the perfect launching point for daily excursions to Cork. Limerick, Westport, Newport, Cashel, Chair and Kerry. The Castle is beautifully situated on lush lawns and hills, tucked off the main road and outfitted with a full kitchen, dining room, living room and snooker room. We gathered in the heated patio area in the mornings for coffee and enjoyed late night fires in the working fireplace with games and hot drinks. We hired out some of the meals with a local caterer who the host recommended for traditional Irish Breakfast, cold welcome dinner, continental breakfasts complete with fresher baked soda bread, scones, fruit and porridge and a last night’s meal of Guinness Stew, Cabbage and Bacon and roasted vegetable soup. Highly recommend using Kay and her family for meal prep when you stay in.

Beautiful Castle, Outstanding Location, Great Host

This was an awesome place to stay for 2 full weeks. We had 18 stay at the castle for a family reunion and everyone enjoyed their stay at the castle. We stayed from 7/30 to 8/13. John and Teresa are great host and gave us a 45 minute tour of the place immediately upon checking in to the castle. All the rooms have their own bathroom which provides even more privacy. There are 3 gathering areas for the family. The kitchen, dinning room and living/pool room. In addition we had a family reunion on 8/7 where 70 attended and all thought the place was beyond fabulous! We had such a wonderful time! Don't need more than 5-7 days worth of clothing since there is a washer and dryer in the castle location in the kitchen. Coffee pots, everything you need in the kitchen. I would rate this place a TEN star, but that is not possible!

Bansha Delight

Our family of 16 enjoyed 10 days at the castle. While Bansha is a small, somewhat remote location, it was the ideal jumping off spot for our travels (if you don’t mind a daily 1-2 hr drive). From here we visited Cork, Cliffs of Moher, Dublin, Bunratty Castle, Rock of Cashel, Galway, The Burren and Kilkenny. Everyone was able to “spread out” or get cozy with many relaxing spaces inside and outside the castle. Sleeping arrangements were ample (ages 7-78) and very comfortable. Access to a full kitchen, with nearby shops allowed us to get on the road early each day, and welcoming pubs and restaurants a short distance away offered the chance to sample local meals at night. Also, a catered dinner by Barbara Russell was a special treat one night. Highlights, aside from the usual stone-kissing and cliff-viewing included a sheep dog demonstration, horseback riding, snooker at the castle, photos on the beach in Connemara by Wonky Eye Photography, learning hurling in Kilkenny, and Mass and dinner in Cashel. So, when people ask “And why are you staying in Tipperary?” Now you know 🍀

EXTRAORDINARY 10-Day Stay at Bansha Castle!!!!

Our family of 14 adults (ages 21 - 79) used Bansha Castle as "home base" while taking day trips (with bus and driver Mike contracted through John Cotter Buses) throughout Ireland, going to Galway, the Connemera region, Cliffs of Moher, Limerick, Ennis, Ring of Kerry, Cork/Cobh, Killarney, Waterford, Kilkenny, Kildare and Dublin. Nearly all were 1 - 2 hours away. There was also so much to see and do in Tipperary County itself!!!! Teresa and John were AMAZING hosts, working with me for months in advance on day trip logistics so that we maximized our time in Ireland. They also went above and beyond upon our arrival, coordinating massages one day in the castle, John being the photographer for a family photo shoot, and putting me in touch with a fabulous caterer (Barbara) who made and served two dinners in the castle. The castle is EXCEPTIONAL...7 BR/7BA, a fully stocked kitchen and a dining room seating 18 comfortably, to a massive living area with overstuffed couches and a snooker table, to a huge backyard and covered patio, and grounds and flowers meticulously maintained by John. The area restaurants (e.g. Mikey Ryan's, Chez Hans, The Junction, O'Neills Bistro) were all excellent!!!! And Nellie's Pub, a 5-minute walk away, was a family-favorite for a Guinness and watching the GAA national hurling semifinals!! Everything EXCEEDED our expectations!!! (Ask Teresa if you want our itinerary to help you plan your amazing trip!!!!) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Perfect in every way - beautiful, charming, comfortable and excellent location

We have been planning a special family vacation with all our children and grandchildren (17 in total plus a few extras!) for over a year. It was amazing how well it all came together but largely due to the wonderful location (allows for great tours that are only 1 to 2 hours away) and the hospitality that comes with it at the Bansha Castle. Everyone had their own space but were also able to comfortably get together for outside drinks or nice breakfasts and dinners. The kids enjoyed their informal rugby games too on the front lawn. We would highly recommend the breakfasts. The kids were up on time to leave for our tours so that they could begin with their "fancy breakfast". Our hosts were very special in the way they welcomed us and gave us the opportunity to share this special place. Thank you!

GREAT PLACE

We recently gathered our family from California and Oregon and spent a week for our annual Watson family vacation. I can not say enough for the GREAT hospitality we enjoyed. If you like stepping back in time and still have all of the enjoyment of the present, then this could be the place for you. We had a family of (18 ), and they all would love to go back. There is ample room for relaxing and family activities in the living room and game room. There is also a large dining room and kitchen just for your use. The bedroom are all large and nicely decorated with private bathrooms. John and Teresa were great host, available to help in planning and answering questions,; but were not intrusive. The location is great; because it allows you to see a lot of Ireland on day trips. If you stay here, I highly recommend that you have Teresa prepare at least one dinner and breakfast. It was a highlight for our group. Thanks Teresa and John for a lasting great memory.

Wonderful and charming in every way.

Bansha Castle is a great house and our group of friends had a fabulous time calling it home for a week. We were a group of 12 adults, converging on Tipperary from Boston, New York, Washington and San Francisco (Berkeley). It's a big, expansive comfortable house. There was plenty of room for our large household -- the bedrooms were all spacious, and there was plenty of room to hang out in the living room, big upstairs landing, back garden, large dining room and big kitchen. The grounds around the house are spectacular -- large manicured lawns, beautiful open fields, enormous beech trees and other trees, distant mountain views, and a lovely walled garden in the back planted with beautiful blooming flower beds. Bansha Castle is right outside of the town (you can walk in for errands, the pub, church, etc.) but the setting is totally private and quiet, set way back off of the road in its own world. The location of the house is in the middle of incredibly beautiful Tipperary scenery and within easy striking distance of a lot of activities, from castle and abbey ruins to hiking, music, restaurants, and boating on Lough Derg. Teresa and John Russell are perfect hosts, warm and welcoming, helpful and informative, while -- although they live in a wing of the house -- scarcely in evidence, quiet, and respectful of their guests' privacy. (The house in general is a very quiet retreat -- thick walls keep sound from traveling from room to room.) We had dinner catered by the Russells one evening, which we highly recommend! Teresa cooked a delicious meal, John served, and they hosted it in the dining room of their wing, one of the stately original rooms of the house; it was an altogether charming and memorable evening. Bansha Castle is a find -- an enchanting place to experience Ireland and create lasting memories. Thank you Teresa and John! With best wishes from all of us.

Wonderful Family Vacation at Bansha Castle

We had a wonderful stay at Bansha castle. Every bedroom was en-suite and the common areas were large enough to comfortably accommodate our entire group of 20. The outdoor courtyard was fantastic with plenty of tables and chairs for relaxing or eating a nice meal. John and Teresa were wonderful hosts and we especially enjoyed our home-cooked meal the night we arrived (highly recommend their traditional Irish menu!). The castle was centrally located and within reasonable driving distance (less than 2 hours) of every site we visited. Thank you John and Teresa for your hospitality and making our stay so memorable.

Wonderful stay at Bansha Castle

A group of 16 adult friends stayed at Bansha Castle for 10 nights to explore south and western Ireland . It is perfectly situated to make easy day trips to Rock of Cashel, Cahir Castle, Cork, Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Penninsula and the Cliffs of Moher. John and Teresa were perfect hosts who were always available if we needed them but rarely even knew they were around as they live in a separate section of the castle. Their knowledge of the area is a great resource to plan your stay. We all rented cars but was advised to hire a coach to drive us to the Ring of Kerry which was good advice and John & Teresa can arrange that for you. We also had Teresa prepare dinner for us on our first night and again on our last night. Both meals were amazing. You also have to get to know some of the local people of Bansha. Nellies Bar is a must, she is a real gem. The butcher across the street has great prices and ready made local meat products. A short trip to Tipperary (8 min drive) to the Kickham House, a pub where locals gather for traditional Irish music, a wonderful place to spend an evening (check with John as he is one of the performers). Enough cannot be said about the castle itself. Bedrooms are all a good size and comfortable. Lots of space throughout the castle for our large group. The covered patio is equipped with lots seating, BBQ and heaters which we all enjoyed. Bansha Castle was the perfect base for our memorable holiday in Ireland
