About Lisheen Castle
The Everard family have lived in the area of Lisheen and Thurles since the early 18th century. The family moved to “Fortfield House”, the dower house on the Lisheen Castle Estate, in the mid 19th century, where Michael and Joan Everard today run a very successful 300 acre cereal and dairy farm.
In 1996, Michael and Joan began resoration work of the ruined Lisheen Castle, doing everything possible to restore the building to its former glory. All of the craftsmen who worked on this momentous task were based locally and the completed castle is once again makes a residence fit for a Lord!
Entering the castle through the great oak door, guests walk into the beautiful hallway, from which the opulent dining room, receptions rooms and library can all be accessed. Following the long corridor, guests can admire the beautiful ash carved staircase, which leads up to 7 luxury en suite bedrooms.
Lisheen Castle aims to combine a historical feel with modern day facilities. The castle is central heated throughout, but all of the reception rooms still feature the traditional “open turf fires”. There are two kitchens, one fully fitted to the highest catering standard and the “old style kitchen” being furnished with pine furniture and terracotta floor. Laundry services are also available in the castle.
