Ballyvolane is a magical setting for a country house party. Why not catch up with a bunch of old friends for a few nights of fun, delicious food & drink in a glorious country house. Barefoot or ball gowns – make the party as relaxed or as formal as you like - you’ll have the entire place to yourselves. Enjoy delicious food matched by an exceptional wine list around a huge antique polished mahogany dining table laid with old silver, candles and a log fire.
Just kick back, lie in or cast a fly
During the day, sleep (breakfast till noon), cast a fly on the river Blackwater (in season) or on Ballyvolane’s own trout lakes (all year), stroll around the wooded demesne and through 15 acres of beautifully manicured gardens or visit an abundance of great shopping, sporting and heritage spots nearby.
Before dinner, gather for cocktails by the fire. The food is straight forward country house in style, and the menus vary with seasonal, weather & fishing conditions. Our ingredients are mainly organic and much use is made of our walled garden during the growing season.
After dinner, chat, play cards, board games or sing - we can arrange for a pianist to come and play (song sheets provided). We serve breakfast until noon every day too so you can enjoy a well deserved lie in.
If you are interested in having a family reunion or are looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occassion such as landmark birthdays, homecomings, anniversaries, then a House party evening or weekend at Ballyvolane House is just the answer.
