Bagenal Harvey and Boxwell cottages are on a heritage site, flanking a superb 1500s castle (Tower House). Butlerstown has been in the ownership of the same family for many generations, and it has been the wish of the current owners for many years that its beauty and tranquility should be made more available to the public. Set in 100 acre farm and woodland, in the sunniest corner of Ireland, we are just 10 mins drive from the closest good beach. The castle cottages have their own private HerbGarden and Lavender Haggard, and there is a small soccer pitch for children to play on. Good local restaurants, pubs (such as Mary Barry's pub/restaurant), riding stables, golf courses, museums and bird heritage sites (such as the Saltee Islands, North Slob and Tacumshin Lake) are all within easy striking distance. Donkeys and other pet animals, and a traditionally run vegetable garden, ancient well and other special features all help to make Butlerstown a unique place.

    We had a fantastic week in this beautiful old property that takes you back in time, with low ceilings and doorways, walls several feet thick and exposed wooden beams.Our family consisted of 3 generations, grandparents children & grandchildren and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

    Had a wonderful stay here with my extended family from America, a unique property bursting with character. The farm animals were a big hit as was the kind hosts. We spent about 2 weeks in the wexford area (mostly to the west) and had enough to see and do with good food options nearby as well. The Saltee Islands, and Hook Peninsula are must see attractions to explore. Plenty of peace and quiet and rural countryside and not overly touristy which was nice.

    We came from Dublin and staying in the Country side was just what we needed! It was the experience we wanted. Thank you and thanks to Jim for the tour of the castle so happy we didn’t miss out on that!

    We had booked Anna and Jim’s cottages for our party of 10 to enjoy our first trip to Ireland. Anna and Jim are wonderful hosts who made sure we had everything we needed. The cottages are comfortable, charming and unique, set in a fairly remote location, so a car is a must. Our youngest daughter enjoyed counting the lambs and feeding the resident donkeys and we were given a fascinating tour of the castle by Jim. We used the cottages as a base to explore the stunning beaches within 10-15 minutes drive, and to go further afield to explore the historic towns of Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny. A trip to the local pub The Hideout also comes highly recommended - the landlady is very welcoming and it is an easy 1 mile walk down extremely quiet roads.

    14 of us (6 adults and 8 children aged 3 to 9) had a wonderful stay at the cottages over new years. The cottages oozed character and the bedrooms were very comfortable. There was so much to explore for the kids. Anna was a very friendly and courteous host. Would definitely stay again.

    We loved the cottages and setting. There was plenty of space for the 11 of us inside and out. The children loved the outdoor space and feeding the donkeys, chicken and sheep. The hosts were very welcoming and the tour of the castle was a great adventure!

    Rented the Butlerstown Castle for family birthday celebration. Hosts really went all out. Prepared a cake for me. Gave fantastic historical tours which were enjoyed. They made us feel at home. I highly recommend. Would make a great corporate retreat venue.
