Lough Bawn House

Set in 50 acres of parkland in Ireland's lovely hidden lakelands, and with sweeping vews over Lough Bane, Verity Butterfield's fine Georgian house was built by her great, great, great grandfather as a family home - and he would be proud of its hospitably relaxed ambience today.
Rooms 3 (1 en-suite, 2 with private bathrooms); double B&B €130-€150, single from €120; discounts available for longer stays. D €40 (reservations essential - book previous day). Children and pets welcome. Wifi. Private parties. Special Areas of Conservation on site. Open mid Jan-end Nov; closed 1 Dec-mid Jan. abbreviations

Fifth generation owner, Verity Butterfield, returned after two decades of running a catering and events company in Gloucestership to run this delightful small estate instead - something that she obviously does with relish.


Set in 50 acres of parkland in Ireland's lovely hidden lakelands (an area truly deserving of exploration), and with sweeping vews over Lough Bane, the fine Georgian house was built in 1820 as a family home by her great, great, great grandfather, George Battesby - and he would be proud of its hospitably relaxed ambience today.


Although grand by modern standards, it's a homely place with traditionally comfortable bedrooms and a welcoming log fire in the drawing room. And Verity is a hands-on host who not only enjoys entertaining and cooking for her guests, but also produces much of the food that is served at breakfast (and dinner, by arrangement) herself - and meals, which are served in the recently restored dining room, are all the more enjoyable for the views over the lough and perhaps the spectacle of peacocks showing off on the surrounding lawns.


A quietly relaxing base for the active and culturally curious visitor, Lough Bawn offers fishing, walking, hiking and golf nearby, also gardens and any number of places of historical interest to visit. And it is an unusually rewarding destination for lovers of unspoilt countryside, especially as the estate is home to so much varied and rare flora that there are several areas designated Special Areas of Conservation (SAC‘s) - and everyone will enjoy the soothing fern walk that meanders through woodland near the house.


A sense of discovery is a rare treat these days, but you will find it here in this area - and at this lovely house.
