Bagenal Harvey & Boxwell Cottages
Historic relaxing cottages near the coast
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 Herb Garden 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.
