More than 250 years later, the White family still owns, operates, and lives on the property. Visit the historical grounds, which have been open to tourists since 1946. Walk the lush gardens, examine the stables, and view the Queen Anne-style architecture of the building, which was built in 1700.

  • The Bantry House and Garden is located near Bantry. It is a huge historic house. Plan on 2-3 hours to tour the house and grounds. Start with an organized tour of the house. The tour guide will talk...

  • Visited here for a family wedding, absolutely beautiful house and gardens, the hosts were wonderful, extremely helpful but utterly unobtrusive. We were supposed to get lashing rain but at the last minute the sun came out so they moved everything into the garden with no hassle and we were able to enjoy the amazing views during the ceremony. Would highly recommend.
  • Well worth a visit. We visited on a beautiful sunny July day and spent a few hours exploring the gardens and outdoors before doing the guided tour of the house, which was very informative and interesting. We had a beautiful roll and tea from the cafe. The views are absolutely amazing
  • Beautiful house and stunning garden. Information leaflets available in all rooms to self guide. Tea rooms with cakes and drinks was a welcome break. Really enjoyed the morning.
  • We would not have gone out of our way to see this house and gardens if a guide book hadn't said if you only see one house in Ireland see this one. We were completely amazed at the beautiful views, the furniture and contents of the house, and the beautiful gardens. One of my wife's and my favorite stops in Ireland. I highly recommend setting aside time in your busy tour schedule to see this house. We had planned on spending an hour here but ended up spending 3 hours here. You don't need that long to see everything but we couldn't tear ourselves away.
  • We stayed in this beautiful place for one night, had afternoon tea in the old library and everything was perfect. Julie is a great host and we enjoyed every second of our stay.
