A massive thank you to everyone who stayed and visited Ballyvolane House over the last year. It’s been a challenging time for everyone and especially the hospitality sector but we did enjoy a busy summer of hosting staycationers, house parties, glamping as well as some weddings. We would also like to thank everyone involved in our shoot which brings us a lot of fun during the winter months.

Our sympathy goes out to so many of our wedding couples who have had to postpone, postpone and postpone again and all being well, we are looking forward to finally hosting their weddings in 2022.

We also opened the gardens and a café to the public during the summer which was really well supported by the local community. We did miss visitors from overseas and we hope to see them trickling back next year. We also missed not being able to put on our monthly Bertha Sessions live-music and other cultural events - next year.

Bertha’s Revenge Gin is trucking along well despite the on-trade being closed for a large part of this year. We have got Bertha into some new export markets around the world and we are excited and optimistic about the future. We are especially looking forward to jumping on a plane again in 2022 to share Bertha love with our friends and distributors overseas.

The biggest thanks of all go to our amazing team who work with us day in day out and keep the ship sailing on. They have been utterly brilliant during what has been a very testing time for everyone.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love and best wishes,

Justin & Jenny

The European Historic Houses represents +50,000 private historic houses across Europe and the EHH has launched an initiative called ‘Houses of the Month’ which is an invitation to take part in a journey through the cultural heritage premises. With this new project, the EHH wants to offer their audience more than a guided tour. The objective is to spotlight the passion, talent, courage and hard work of our owners, as well as the importance of such buildings in our common history.

Ballyvolane House is part of Ireland’s privately-owned built heritage. Preserving built heritage in private hands in Ireland and across Europe is important work as they add enormously to our cultural and heritage landscape. Ballyvolane House is a member of the Historic Houses of Ireland.

Thank you to the EHH for giving us an opportunity to share our journey and to showcase how we are committed to preserving our home for the future.
