A Truly Magical House
Welcome to Ballyvolane House, a historic Irish country house of extraordinary warmth, style and comfort that provides luxury manor house accommodation, bespoke intimate weddings, glamping and private house parties/exclusive house rentals, located in the beautiful North Cork countryside of southern Ireland.
Stay in an Authentic Irish Country House
Escape to a relaxing luxury hideaway in the majestic rolling hills of North Cork, enjoy the peace and serenity of idyllic gardens and woodlands and treat yourself to deliciously fresh, locally produced Irish food.
Private Residential Retreats & Corporate Gatherings
Ballyvolane House is an ideal setting for private residential retreats - small, immersive gatherings where people can step away from everyday life, stay together and properly connect. We welcome retreat organisers, facilitators, leadership teams and specialist hosts looking for somewhere private, characterful and fully looked after, with the house, gardens, woodland, barns, food and hospitality all at their disposal. We also host corporate off-sites, strategy sessions, workshops and private business gatherings for teams looking for something more personal than a conventional hotel or conference venue.
Tucked away in the East Cork countryside, yet only around 30 minutes from Cork city, Ballyvolane offers complete privacy and exclusive use, giving groups the space to think, talk, regroup and recharge at their own pace.
Private House Stays
Escape to a private historic country house estate for a fun filled family holiday, or for a vacation with friends where you’ll enjoy exclusive use of the main house and be treated to the finest local Irish food and drink, so you can relax, unwind and enjoy the very best of Irish country living.
Weddings & Special Occasions
Ballyvolane House is an award-winning country house wedding venue and a magical setting for any special occasion, so you can count us to put on an unforgettable event. Exclusive hire of our beautiful country manor, surrounding gardens and purpose built dining terrace provides the perfect venue for both intimate weddings and larger events.

Simply the Best
We stayed for 3 nights to celebrate my wife’s birthday. From the moment we drove up the driveway until we reluctantly left, we enjoyed every minute. We were warmly welcomed by Debbie who showed us around. Our room was old fashioned elegance with wonderful views over the gardens. The al fresco breakfast was superb as were our evening meals; everything was fresh and delicious. Bertha’s Revenge Gin was beautiful; you must not leave without a bottle (or two). A huge thank you to everyone who made our visit so special, and a special mention to Bernie, who was simply delightful. We can’t wait to return.
