  1. O.M.G. !!! Just when you've thought you had seen it all…😳 This is the most gigantic & totally awesome pile I've ever!
    Just looked up Bantry House, and ten years on now, it is 4 star hotel and still in the hands of the White family, with the lovely daughter & son in law running it! Bravo intrepids 🤗🍀👑

  2. I'm a bit surprised that employing an "Events Manager" wasn't one of the top suggestions at least until they had got used to it. Having seen this was filmed 11 years ago I note that Sophie & Josh are still running the property so they must have done ok- Good for them. I have to say the meal by Richard Corrigan was my idea of heaven. I would have booked the accommodation as well because the location was beautiful..

  3. The Irish state should take it over and tear it down. Most insulting symbol of English colonialism.

  4. My family just stayed here last week-I couldn’t forget the place. As an event planner, perusing the grounds and artifacts, I had an overwhelming vision for this property. I think the events fundraising for this property should take place OFF site to rectify debt and restoration of the property, so that the family heritage and ambiance is preserved. As a part of the human family, we search for comfort and heritage. This place hosts all the magic! Sell its purpose as a familial, historic gem of Ireland to the community and abroad; raise money through outside events and patronage from historic group interests and wealthy guests with enough “heart” to invest in its preservation.

  5. I know this video is around 10 years ago so I have no idea what it’s like now, but the stables would be amazing little summer lets or artist studio’s!

  6. Finally! Manor house owners who did long term planning many decades ago with the development of garden tours and the BNB. Time for the next generation to build upon those efforts.
