Like us, they are fans of Winnie The Pooh and the tables were named after locations in the 100 acre wood. Stunning pics by Martina California.They honeymooned in Japan for the Rugby World Cup 2019 afterwards. Happy memories of what was a very happy day.

We are delighted to be included in this feature in Conde Nast Traveller. HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall stayed at Ballyvolane House in June 2018 and they were utterly charming as were their entire entourage. It was fantastic for Cork and the locality and we loved having them here. They enjoyed Bertha tipples too.

Written by Annabelle Spranklen for Conde Nast Traveller.

“BALLYVOLANE HOUSE, COUNTY CORK, IRELAND This magical family-run hotel in the County Cork countryside was the ideal place for a royal sleepover when Prince Charles and Camilla were on an official tour of Cork in the summer of 2018. Built in 1728, this historic house, which has been in the hands of the Green family since the 1950s, is surrounded by a bluebell-carpeted woodland and acres of luscious emerald fields, giving guests as much seclusion as they wish. Inside, gleaming polished floors and doors with painted panels of intricate flowers and chirpy birds await, a nod to the antique, vintage-inspired décor that takes over the rest of the house. There’s a homely feel to the place – expect one of the family’s terriers to roll over for a rub as well as a tasting of the homemade gin, called Bertha’s Revenge Gin; Prince Charles even took a bottle home.”

Thank you Annabelle!

Due to the unprecedented and tsunami-like effects of the Coronavirus Covid-19 global pandemic and in the interests of the health and well being of our guests, colleagues, family and community, we have decided to temporarily close Ballyvolane House.

During this time, we applaud the amazing work of the healthcare professionals who together with other front line services are working tirelessly to diagnose, treat and heal those of us who are vulnerable or who have been infected.

We very much look forward to welcoming everyone back again to Ballyvolane House in the coming months when the weather is warmer, the gardens are more lush and the world has managed to get to grips with this dreadful virus.

In the meantime, should you need to get in touch, the office will remain open to take calls and respond to your emails and questions.

Mind yourselves, your families and your communities.

Best wishes,

Justin, Jenny and the team at BH
