Bansha Castle, Bansha, Co. South Tipperary, Ireland Vacation Rental

This lovely old country house, built in 1760, is set in 40-acres of private grounds with gardens and mature trees. The location is particularly attractive, a pleasant one hour's drive from Shannon Airport, it is 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.

The drawing room has raspberry coloured walls, marble fireplaces, polished wooden floors and a chintzy covered suite giving it a cosy, relaxed atmosphere.
