Should you be seeking the very best country house
cuisine, the sporting catch of a Blackwater Salmon, a chest of buried
treasure or simply the warmth of open log fires in the comfort and
luxury of Irish country living then look no further than Ballyvolane
House.
Ballyvolane is an award-winning Irish Country House and
a member of
Ireland's Blue book. It was originally a classical Georgian home built
in 1728 for a once Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, Sir Richard Pyne, and
modified 120 years later in Italianate style.
The house is situated on an estate of idyllic landscaped gardens
and magnificent parkland, located in the historic region of the Munster Blackwater Valley.
Ballyvolane is not exactly a hotel, guesthouse or a Bed and Breakfast,
but an elegantly furnished, family-owned period home, offering warm hospitality and
extremely comfortable accommodation in a relaxed atmosphere of informality and friendliness.
The sitting room, dining room and six luxuriously appointed
bedrooms have beautiful views overlooking formal gardens, parklands and trout lakes.
The gardens are open to the public during the summer months and the bluebell
woods are at their best in early June.
Salmon fishing on the Cork River Blackwater is unique.
We offer 8 privately owned beats, stretching from Killavullen to Ballyduff.
If you prefer the smaller game of trout fishing, you can try your cast on
the recently restored lakes in the parkland. Work began on the restoration of
these lakes in 1996 and though the landscaping is complete, planting and
further restoration is ongoing. They were originally excavated by hand in 1755.
Press the doorbell to enter the Hall and view the reception rooms of Ballyvolane.
