Ballymaloe House, Ballycotton, Ireland –

Lock in a great price for Ballymaloe House – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

Gorgeous property, took a run by the farm and met the pig and chickens! They have a trail map up front so ask for it.

Jessica, United States of America

A great experience. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful.

Daniel, United States of America

My room was fantastic. I enjoyed the sunroom. The staff were helpful and friendly

Kb, United States of America

it was all lovely might ask for a ground floor room next time

Mary, Bahamas

The bathroom was amazing - bright, spacious & luxurious. Lovely products to use.

Michelle, Ireland

A gracious manor house in idyllic setting; wonderfully accommodating staff; great (but pricey) food. My husband and I loved our stay, except for our extremely firm mattress. For families with young children, there is an afternoon children's tea, but children were not allowed in the evening dining room. We love children but really appreciated the adult emphasis for the evening. (cell phone free as well.)

Senior, Mongolia

Quaint... unique...food outstanding... service was exceptional. Worth the value!!

Jennifer, United States of America

Excellent food and wine... tour of the Outdoor Sculpture display was very enjoyable. Mr Scott was in tune with the pulse of Irish sculpture.

Francis, United States of America

Simply everything about Ballymaloe is outstanding.

Ame2be, United States of America

Excellent Hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was upgraded without any request from us. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding. Nearby Cooking School was a real plus. Easy Internet access. We can't wait to return next year !

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.

Nothing just having to go home.
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.

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!

This hotel has the beauty which we could see in the picture book. Door has old "lock and key"style. Room is classic, clean bed, hot water. 20 minutes by taxi from Midleton. You also must visit the cookery school which is paradise!
