About this property

Lisheen Castle, Beautifully Restored, Perfect Central Location for Day Tripping

Welcome to Lisheen castle, standing sentry among the rolling green hills of Munster since the early 1800's. This historic Irish castle has been completely restored from ruin by the Everard family who live locally. During your stay at Lisheen the entire castle will be exclusive to you and your party making it a unique experience to be remembered. The castle has 9 bedrooms in total, 8 of which have their own bathrooms. The castle is located centrally in Ireland in the County of Tipperary making it an ideal location to access many of the magnificent and historic sites of Ireland on a day trip basis.

Some of the amenities at the castle include a private flood lit tennis court, basketball, bicycles, play house and the stables of the castle have recently been converted to a leisure room with table tennis, pool table and table football.

Remaining true to the original vision of the castle, we have researched in detail the architectural and interior design of the historic castle structure. Every piece of furniture, light fitting, window and floor covering has been sourced, selected or specially manufactured for Lisheen Castle. The result is a stunning fusion of the grandeur of times past and the luxury of modern accommodation.

Offering luxury accommodation for up to 16 guests, each room is uniquely decorated in a traditional style to suit this historic castle. The highest quality antique furniture has been coupled with modern conveniences you would expect of a high-end property.

There are 9 bedrooms in total, there are 6 double rooms suitable for couples, 2 single rooms suitable for single occupancy and 1 twin room which has 2 single beds in it. 8 of 9 bedrooms have their own bathroom, only 1 single room is without bathroom, it has a wash hand basin and shares full bathroom facilities with another bedroom via a separate door from the corridor.

The castle’s formal reception rooms; the drawing and dining rooms, both feature hand-painted murals on original vaulted Norman ceilings from which hang impressive antique chandeliers.

Both formal and family friendly traditional dining facilities are on offer at Lisheen Castle. The formal dining room seats 16 people in extravagant old world style, while the traditional Irish kitchen offers a cozy more informal dining area. A fully equipped professional kitchen is available for your use.

As an extra Lisheen Castle can also offer escorted touring vacations, suitable for groups of up to 16 people. Our week long tailored itineraries visit Ireland’s most popular historic, cultural and sporting attractions which have been personally chosen by the Everard family. Visit the Cliffs of Moher, Bunratty Castle, Kilkenny Medieval City, The Rock of Cashel and the historic town of Cobh with its award winning Titanic Experience. In the evenings, enjoy traditional Irish Music sessions in local pubs and dining in the very best restaurants Ireland has to offer.

Lisheen Castle is very centrally located in Ireland in North Tipperary providing a fantastic base for touring Ireland. As Lisheen Castle overlooks a patchwork quilt of green fields and distant mountains, it is easy to see why Ireland is known in the USA as the Land of Forty Shades of Green! While the castle is located in a scenic rural setting, it is only minutes from some of Irelands main motorways allowing for easy driving for those who chose to hire a car. Dublin Airport is an easy 2-hour drive from Lisheen Castle and Shannon Airport is 1.5 hrs.

The area lends itself perfectly to taking advantage of all that Ireland’s great outdoors has to offer, within easy accessibility of Lisheen is an array of sporting and adventure activities such as hill-walking, angling, golfing and horse racing.

There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom features a bathtub, a bidet, and a hair dryer.

Wow! What a place. The pictures on the listing looked pretty incredible, and in person was even better! My family and I loved the castle. I think the location was great, in that we were able to take day trips and see a number of places on our list (Rock of Cashel, Cahir Castle, Blarney Stone, Cliffs of Moher, Kilkenny, Kinsale, Killarney, Dublin). Zane was super accommodating, and a great host. Thanks! If you are looking for the quintessential Ireland experience, go for it and book the castle.

Incredible Castle Stay
The property exceeded expectations. Zane was constantly checking in on us . Would highly recommend--just note that no more than 5 extra guests can visit the castle above those staying with you in the castle. It was a dream vacation.

The castle was amazing. The grounds were so beautiful and well manicured. Tennis court was great and had lights for nighttime playing. The castle was clean, bedrooms were large with comfortable beds, expansive living areas throughout. The owner was responsive and very helpful. We rented cars to get around ireland so the castle location was centrally located. Would definitely recommend.
