Bansha House

Very beautiful home, warm and friendly atmosphere. Our host was the son of the owner and was very welcoming unfortunately; the owner was away so we did not get to meet her. Her son was an amazing host. He offered tea and coffee as soon as we arrived as he did every night when we got back from our daily travels. Breakfast was always delicious our last morning there we did not have time for breakfast so he insisted on getting up and making us coffee and toast and made sure we had some fruit to take with us for our ride back to Dublin. The rooms were amazing and a very comfortable sitting room to gather in. Our stay there was a great experience and would highly recommend it if you are in the area.

Bansha House was the HIGHLIGHT of our Ireland vacation! The house and grounds are absolutely gorgeous. If you're looking for a true Irish experience and feeling, be sure to stay here; the fields, horses, cows; it's unreal! Mary is so sweet, such a wonderful hostess, and she cooks THE MOST delicious breakfasts. Carmel assisted as co-hostess, and she was super friendly and helpful. Both ladies made us feel so at home, everything was so comfortable! Mary arranged for us to tour the stables on our last morning which was such a treat! We cannot WAIT to return, and we plan to create our trip around Bansha House's availbility! The Tipperary area is beautiful, close proximity to the Rock of Cashel; our only regret was not being able to stay longer. Seriously, don't miss out on this place!

Bansha House is absolutely beautiful! The house itself is gorgeous beginning with the tree-lined driveway. The ivy-covered exterior gives it old-world charm and the horses in the pasture are the icing on the cake. The dining room and sitting room are beautiful and Mary and her son were so welcoming and accommodating. Mary sets a beautiful table and her breakfast was amazing. Our only regret was choosing the en-suite room on the first floor that just didn’t have the same charm and warmth as the other rooms on the second floor.

By far our favorite stay in Ireland. Mary took great care of us and her home and grounds are beautiful. She is a great hostess and she made us feel at home. She sat with us in the evenings and at breakfast and delighted us with stories. I could have sat all day and listened. She made us homemade bread the night before for breakfast and served with local fruits/jams with a traditional Irish breakfast (Best we had in all of Ireland). We are already planning our next trip.

When we were deciding where to stay in Ireland, we tried to stay away from the usual tourist cities so I booked a night at a B&B inear Tipperary in Bansha. When we arrived at the Bansha House our jaws dropped. It is a vine covered 300+ year old former English manor. Mary Marnane was our hostess. She was delightful and offered us tea when we arrived. She arranged for a table at an excellent restaurant in a nearby small village for dinner that night. We would have never known about it on our own. Her rose garden was beautiful. There were cows in a small pasture right next to the house and horses in the pasture in front of the house. We were the only guests the night we were there, so she asked if we would mind having breakfast with her in the large but cozy kitchen instead of the dining room. She was still cooking the ham and eggs while we finished our cereal.and she served freshly pressed apple juice that she gets from the Dutch apple farmer down the road. Our room was on the first floor and everything about the house was both elegant and charming. It was the highlight of our several B&B stays in Ireland!
