Bantry House and Garden is a stately home situated on the Wild Atlantic Way overlooking Bantry Bay in the south west of Ireland. It houses an important private collection of furniture and objects of art. It has been home to the White family since 1739 and was open to the public in 1946.  Today visitors can explore the house and formal garden, have tea in the tearoom or even stay the night in the B&B located in the East Wing.  The estate is unique since it is still lived in and managed by the family.
