Bansha House

Our stay at Bansha House with host Mary Marnane was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. We stayed here on our first trip in 2015 and made a promise to find our way back to visit with this incredible human being... Mary Marnane. Mary has been in the B&B business for 50 plus years, and has mastered the art of hosting, hospitality, and service like no other. Her Bansha House is situated on a horse farm and provides a perfect Irish retro vibe that takes you on a journey to another time. Our invites, both times into the kitchen for breakfast and late night whiskey, wine and conversation will forever be stamped into our hearts. Our lives have truly been blessed meeting this incredible woman. Thank you Mary...twice over,,, for a life changing experience. Much love always!

Our one night stay at Bansha house was wonderful. Mary’s beautiful manor house was warm & welcoming. Her breakfast was a spectacular way to get our day started after a solid night’s rest in the silence of her family’s thoroughbred farm. It was a great starting point for us to get to Blarney Castle before the tour bus crowds arrived even after a leisurely full-Irish breakfast! We will return!

A wonderful stay. Mary welcomed us when we arrived and offered us tea. She also served us homemade scones which were wonderful. Later, she helped us select a restaurant for dinner which was delicious. We decided to have breakfast in the kitchen with her instead of in the dining room and it was very enjoyable. Highly recommend.

What a lovely home and location. The breakfast setup and room was pretty amazing. Mary was very accommodating and gave suggestions on where to eat. A very lovely place.

We had a wonderful stay at Bansha House. Our hostess, Mary, was amazing - welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and the bed was very comfortable. We found the setting idyllic and close to so many places to visit and explore.
