“Fox Tales in Ireland” Ten members of my family, plus the boy friend of my oldest daughter, eleven people in all, spent 11 days at Lisheen castle in November, 2009. The ostensible purpose was to try to track down information about my great grandparents, all of whom had come to America from Ireland during the potato famine, 1845 to 1855. We chose this castle as being fairly close to Clogher, where my great grandfather, John Fox had, we thought, been born and lived until he emigrated to England in 1851, and thence to the United States in 1853. Using the castle as headquarters, we spread out in 3 cars and visited many communities in Tipperary and elsewhere, checking churches, cemetaries, heritage centers and , most of all, pubs. We had some luck, but mostly we ran into mysteries. For one thing, I believe now that John Fox came from Clogheen, not Clogher, so we were aimed at the wrong target for him. If our stated purpose of tracking down ancestry information met with only limited success, the experiences we shared living together, planning and carrying out each day's activities, and just plain enjoying each other's company were truly memorable. I know I will keep these memories close to me as long as I live. It was cold. But there was warmth of a high order among us in the castle. The spectacular location, sweeping views, historical surroundings, and friendly atmosphere made the visit spectacular. The Everards are friendly, outgoing, and extremely helpful and caring people. We all enjoyed ourselves. I don't see how we could ever have a more enjoyable and meaningful vacation. Anywhere.

“Very relaxing stay at this wonderful retreat.” This place exceeded our expectations in every way. We really liked it! The caretakers of this location were very helpful and provided us with lots of information that made checking in very simple and straightforward. They also had a little book with all the info we'd need to find/use amenities in the house. The house was very spacious and we appreciated the many books/tourist pamphlets that were made available to us. The area is very quiet and relaxing and the view behind the house is spectacular. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone, particularly large families looking for a place to stay while in Ireland. The house is close to many attractions and very accessible.
