Everard Castle, Thurles, Co. North Tipperary, Ireland Vacation Rental

Everard Castle was restored from total ruin from 1995 –2000 by the Everard family. Since then it has operated as luxury self-catering accommodation although catering can be arranged upon request. During your stay at Everard Castle the entire castle will be exclusive to you and your party making it a unique experience to be remembered. The castle is located centrally in Ireland in the County of Tipperary making it very accessible to many of the magnificent sites of Ireland during your stay.

The castle remained a shell. Around 1971 a Carol Lloyd from Canada came to see it, and in a letter to her grandmother she said she expected to find only a few stones, and how tremendously surprised she was to see the stone frame of the building in fairly good order. She also said she called to see Mrs Camilla O’Meara, John F. O’Meara’s wife, who told her that the IRA boys who burned Everard Castle ‘probably wanted to make a bonfire as big as the others fellows.’ The excuse they gave, she said, was that they thought the military was going to occupy it.

The Land Commission took over the land still going with the castle in 1960 and divided it. Everard Castle lost its fine heritage of trees at that stage. In 1994 the castle ruins and the yard were bought  and in 1996 they embarked on their great restoration program. By December 1999 the work of restoration was completed, and on 1 May 2000 Everard Castle was opened to the public.
