About this castle / palace rental

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.

This was perfect for a destination wedding. We spent a couple days at the castle relaxing and prepping a little for the wedding. After the wedding day we had several days to explore a number of places. Zane was wonderful in helping arrange a catered meal for the 12 of us in the formal dining room one night. The photos of the wedding of course are stunning with the house/castle and gardens as the backdrop.

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.

Fabulous experience for my wife and I as well as our children and grandchildren. Living in a beautifully restored 19th century castle with all the modern conveniences was a unique experience my family will never forget. The central location allowed for easy day trips by car or rail to all our preferred locations. Zane, the owner, was a gracious host and always easily reachable to answer any questions.
