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.

Huge thanks to The Honey Journal for staying at Ballyvolane House and for featuring the house on their blog.

Founded in 2021, The Honey Journal is a place for women who value the restorative powers of a sunrise yoga session just as much as the healing powers of a night out in a sweaty nightclub with your closest pals. It’s is a space for women who like to keep their pulse on the latest trends but who also couldn’t care less. It is a contradiction and a constantly evolving space where anything goes.

“We’d been expecting a chic country escape, having read the amazing Tripadvisor reviews and seen the gorgeous Instagram posts but we really weren’t prepared for the wow factor of Ballyvolane House.”

Thanks for your support and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
