The Coach House.
The Coach House at Butlerstown Castle affords you the opportunity of relaxation in elegant yet affordable accommodation in a small country house steeped in history. Situated on an elevated site in the grounds of Butlerstown Castle (seat of The Sherlock Family 1450-1650) which now lies in ruins. Located off the main Waterford to Cork Road ( N.25 ) and just three miles from Waterford City, the Coach House was built in 1874 by the Northern Nationalist, Samuel Ferguson. In recent years the house has been tastefully restored and extended to provide our guests with en-suite accommodation in seven bedrooms (most of which have a King size bed ), with direct dial telephone, colour T.V. and tea/coffee making facilities. Many of our bedrooms also have commanding views of the surrounding countryside, Castle and mountains.Attractions in the area.
