“Fantastic group celebration over New Years Teresa and John were fantastic hosts with great communication during the enquiry, booking and invoicing stages. They are based on the property and were available throughout our stay to offer any help when needed, including when we ran out of kindling for the fire! This property is a true country gem and a perfect place for our large group to descend on to to celebrate the new year together. Wishing them and Bansha Castle a very happy and prosperous 2020.”

“Spent fabulous Bank Holiday weekend with family, 17 in total ,9 kids and 8 adults. Kids had an absolute ball,running around in beautiful safe surrounding grounds. Fantastic BBQ facilities which we used on one of the nights. The other night we had John and Teresa catered for us to have a surprise 80th party for our Dad. The food and beautiful dinning room was an event long to be remembered by us all. We all had an amazing weekend and cannot wait to return. “

“My cousins could not have asked for more comfortable, welcoming or beautiful accommodations for a family reunion. Being together in one grand home suited us perfectly, whether gathered around the rustic table in the well equipped kitchen, sprawled across sofas in the comfortable sitting room, enjoying the surrounding gardens on the lovely back terrace, or dining formally in the elegant dining room. Our hosts John and Teresa welcomed us graciously and also prepared two fantastic dinners for us during our stay, as well as made excellent recommendations for local sights and restaurants. The grounds and nearby countryside are breath-takingly beautiful. If you have the opportunity to stay here, don’t pass it up! It will be memorable. “
