About this property

The castle cottages, newly refurbished, 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.

Not as advertised

We have stayed at many VRBOs, and this is the first one that was so disappointing that we had to find alternate accommodations. The furniture was heavily worn and stained, the curtains’ fabric was shredding, the windows were drafty, bathrooms not clean and without showers (though were advertised as having showers), and very little hot water. This property has great potential, but is not one we can recommend.

Truly Memorable!

The property was beyond~ it was fabulous, the castle, the sheep, donkeys, chickens, apple trees, garden and rooks! Everything was taken care of inside the cottage and the beds were comfy too! But the real treasure was Anna and Jim and their son, Jack, all the kindest people you could hope to meet. Caring, communicative, generous and loving. It really made the stay truly memorable!

About the host

Hosted by Anna Skrine

Anna's family has been living at Butlerstown Castle for many generations. It has been her wish for many years to be able to share the tranquility and beauty of the place with others. Her husband Jim worked for years in London restoring heritage buildings, and running an architectural salvage business. He has done all the restoration and repair work himself to the two cottages (originally a 1600s cowhouse). Anna works with complementary therapies - and organizes workshops at Butlerstown.

Why they chose this property

We moved back to Anna's family home some years ago. People often say it is like stepping into another world coming here, it is so peaceful! The castle, or Tower House, is remarkable in that it is in such good original condition.
We are a mile from the sea as the crow flies and there are a number of good beaches within a 10 or 15 minute drive. There are also places of great natural and wild-life beauty nearby, such as Tacumshin lake, and the world-heritage Saltee Islands which are accessed from Kilmore Quay.
Anna has a range of pets, including donkeys, free range hens and sheep.

What makes this property unique

We are just 20 minutes from Wexford, and15 minutes from Ireland's main port, Rosslare Harbour. There is good access to excellent restaurants, pubs - Mary Barry’s is a well known pub/restaurant - riding stables, Johnstown Castle museum, Kilmore Quay fishing village and golf courses.
