Bed and Breakfast Description

Welcome to Ballymaloe House, the renowned Irish country house hotel and restaurant owned and run by the Allen family for over 40 years.

Nestled in a 400 acre estate in rural East Cork, Ballymaloe House is only 20 miles from the historic city of Cork, and minutes from the breathtaking south coast.

We pride ourselves on offering a warm welcome, tastefully decorated bedrooms and award-winning cuisine which celebrates the best of local, seasonal produce.

Whether for a weekend break or longer family holiday, for a conference or a special occasion, we look forward to welcoming you.

Ballymaloe House is a building that has evolved and grown with the passing centuries, and our accommodation varies from a 15th century Norman tower to modern luxury rooms. All of our rooms are decorated to the highest standard, combining modern comforts with timeless elegance and an eye for detail. Each room has its own name and own distinct character, and all have private bathrooms as standard. We also have a limited number of self catering apartments situated in the farmyard.

Upstairs in the main house the rooms retain many original features and have enchanting old-world charm.

Downstairs, new, more spacious rooms at the back of the house have views over the river and gardens. Each has its own private terrace, for afternoon tea or relaxing with a book. In summer, they also have quick and easy access to the swimming pool and tennis court.

The courtyard rooms are situated in an independent building, beside the main house. This is an attractive old building where three of the rooms have small adjoining conservatories.

The 16th century gatekeeper’s house stands alone by the archway to the farm. Comprising of an entrance hall and bathroom downstairs and a charming twin-bedded room upstairs with an open fireplace, it is ideal for older children.

For smaller guests we can provide cots and children’s beds.
