Welcome to Bansha Castle, one of Ireland's best kept secret get-aways. A former home of the Butlers of Ormonde, Bansha Castle is now yours to experience as a haven of rest and relaxation. This lovely old country house, dating from the 18th century, is set in private grounds with mature gardens, backed by the beautiful Glen of Aherlow and the famous Galtee mountains. Once owned by General Sir William Butler, the Butlers of Ormond crest is still evident on the facade of the Round Tower, highlighting the rich heritage of this unique residence. Don't feel like cooking every night? The owners occupy a completely separate wing to the main house and are usually available should any problems arise. They can give catering recommendations if required. Bansha Castle is a perfect location for historical and cultural pursuits. Bansha lies at the centre of the heritage trail; The Rock of Cashel, Holycross Abbey and the Medieval City of Kilkenny are all near by.
Activities: There is a variety of leisure activities on offer. Walking/Cycling - forest and mountain trails. Fishing (in season and weather dependent) is five minutes away on the River Suir, one of the best trout rivers in Europe. For golfers there are a selection of excellent courses within easy driving distance. Horse riding, swimming and tennis can all be arranged upon request.
Prefer something less energetic? Why not pamper yourself with a massage or beauty treatment in the comfort of your own room (minimum numbers). Your hosts will be happy to make all the arrangements.
Located in Bansha, this castle is in a rural area and in the mountains. Athassel Abbey and Cahir Castle are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Ballykisteen Golf And Country Club and Cahir Park Golf Club. Traveling with kids? Consider Tipperary Excel and Bru Boru Cultural Centre. Discover the area's water adventures with fishing and swimming nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with horse riding and cycling.
