BALLYFIN DEMESNE
from 2023 Directory
BALLYFIN, COUNTY LAOIS, IRELAND
Yesterday, I saw a most delightful place indeed, much beyond any place I have seen in Ireland — Ballyfin.” This observation was made by an aristocratic 18th-century visitor. A scenic 90-minute drive from Dublin, Ballyfin is a historic estate where the best of Irish hospitality and countryside grandeur meet. The 614-acre demesne is a place of tranquility and incredible natural beauty. With woodlands, lake, water features, grottos, follies and walled gardens, it provides an idyllic private world for guests to explore and enjoy a range of activities. At its center is the late Georgian House, which has been carefully and thoroughly restored to provide exceptional comfort and luxury. Every detail has been considered while preserving warmth and intimacy. The inviting public rooms are filled with art, antiques, textiles and books. Ballyfin consists of only 20 bedrooms and one cottage, but with all the facilities to be expected in a grand hotel.
