Bantry House and Garden is a stately home overlooking Bantry Bay in the south west of Ireland. The House has been in our family, the Whites, since 1739 and was opened to the public in 1946. We offer Bed and Breakfast accommodation in the East Wing. We have an important private collection of furniture and objects of art. The Estate is a popular wedding and events venue, visitors can explore the formal garden, visit the House, enjoy a picnic basket from our Tearoom, have Afternoon Tea in the Library and stay in the East Wing. The Estate is unique since it is still lived in and managed by us as a family.

Day visitors can simply buy tickets here on the day-there is no need to prebook a visit however groups of 8 or more are encouraged to book via email for efficiency of service. Sometimes the estate is closed for private events, you will see a list of these dates under Opening Hours.

Please note we will host the Masters of Tradition Music Festival from 21st-25th August 2024. B&B guests booking these dates must bear in mind that the Library will be set up for concerts and there is potential for noise every night. More information on the festival can be found here https://www.westcorkmusic.ie/masters-of-tradition/

Bantry House Garden

The original design of the garden which dates back to the second Earl of Bantry’s travels can still be seen today. He transformed the house and garden into a “Palazzo” like those he had seen on the continent.
