Lovely travel feature by Elle Gordon about Ballyvolane House in Irish Country Magazine October 2024 edition.

“One of the standout moments was their incredible dining experience. We opted to avail of their communal dining which meant guests are all seated at the same long dining table. It was informal, totally relaxed, and hilarious evening as we got to know one another, swapped stories, roared laughing, and enjoyed every sumptuous bite of the four-course tasting menu.”

Thanks Elle!
