Ballymaloe House

Ballymaloe House is Ireland's Original family-run country house hotel famous for its outstanding hospitality and superb food. The 17th century house built onto a Norman castle keep is nestled in a 300 acre farm estate in rural East Cork. Ballymaloe House is only 20 miles from the historic city of Cork, and minutes from the breath-taking south coast and the famous Ballycotton Cliff Walk. The bedrooms come in all shapes and sizes, from large and airy to cosy including ground floor rooms in the courtyard. The principles in which food is prepared at Ballymaloe have not changed since Myrtle Allen opened the dining room to the public in 1964. We endeavour to prepare and serve our food in a simple way. The best food requires the finest and freshest ingredients and, in keeping with the tradition of the best country house cooking, we prepare everything we possibly can for our menu from the gardens at Ballymaloe House.
