Last time here was with 2 small boys so it was a real pleasure this time to be able to stroll around on our own taking as long as we liked to enjoy the exhibits read about the history and admire the gardens. And get a cup of tea too! Views from the house are wonderful.

We took a group of garden enthusiasts to this marvellous place, sympathetic Sophie time-travelled us through the lives of her many interesting ancestors. The Bantry House is a family run business and you can almost compare it to places where there is lots of money to be spent. They do every effort to preserve the beautiful paintings, tapestries, vases, furnitures,... More

The Bantry House is impressive both for its setting and grounds, but also for its interiors. The house overlooks the Bay of Bantry and has several terraces in front. One has round flower plantings, others have beautiful expanses of green areas. There are Italian gardens in the back and three terraces with 100 steps leading o a short series of... More

much more intimate than the many National Trust houses we have been to - to be shown around by the owners was special and you got to hear history come alive as you hear the stories - wonderful garden - we loved the walk by the water

It was a particularly cold and windy day but there was a very welcoming fire in the hallway where we were able to sit and warm up. There is a lovely tea-room at the... More

The gardens are truly georgeous! Beautiful sea views, and the part of the house that is open to the public (wish more of it were open) was very well restored. The stableyard so far has not been destroyed as most have been at the majority of manor houses, but neither has it been restored. We'd love to see stables built... More

The Bantry House and Gardens are located on the south side of Bantry, Ireland and overlook Bantry Bay.

Bantry House, the Bantry Bay views, the house gardens and a walk about the surrounding grounds made for a delightful late morning stop in exploring... More
