The elegance of a large old house with great style and friendly courteous staff . Dinner was a great experience with excellent food and wine; what more can one say ?

Roger, France

Superb breakfast which set us all up for the day. Everything was mouthwatering especially the soda bread, porridge, fresh orange juice, cooked pears, homemade jams and on and on!!! The evening meal was outstanding too especially the pudding trolley.

Diana, United Kingdom

Amazing staff, wonderful food. Comfortable, understated elegance. Its reputation is well deserved. Planning our next trip already

Susannah, United Kingdom

The altmosphere was similar to being in your own home It was great sitting by the fire after working hard at the cookery school. So relaxed and easygoing and the staff were helpful and very friendly. Tried to make friends with the little black and white cat but like all discerning felines, it might take another visit to bond. Thank you so very much.

Caroline, United Kingdom

There is an abundance of character in Ballymaloe house. The surroundings are rural and restful, and the house has a truly relaxed feel to it. For a place that has such a lauded and long-standing reputation it was not at all stuffy or pretentious, which is so refreshing in our hyped-up world. The staff are friendly, efficient and very helpful. I was there for my 25th wedding anniversary and both my husband and I want to go back again, soon, so we can stay for much longer. Thank you, Ballymaole!

Georgeanne, Ireland

Lovely welcoming place to stay. Our room was beautiful, the gardens were so lovely to walk around. Sculpture and Art exhibition was an added bonus . Our dinner and breakfast were really delicious

Donnellanabc, Ireland

Returning visit. Last there on our honeymoon in 1974 and same great experience and delicious breakfast loved the yeast brown bread and great gift/cook shop in the yard.

Christopher, United Kingdom

Evening dinner in Ballymaloe House was a special experience that I will always remember. Each course was delicious - I especially liked the second course buffet - I could have eaten from that all night!!

Yvonne, Ireland

The check in and courtesy of all the staff was excellent. The restaurant was superb and sommelier was very helpful. What impressed us most was nothing was a problem and staff were friendly.
