Activities while on Vacation at Ballyvolane
For the active, there is a hard tennis court, badminton, a 7-aside soccer pitch, croquet, lakes for canoeing and swimming, clay pigeon shooting, jogging routes and magical woodland walks. The gardens at Ballyvolane House are glorious and we are always looking for help with the weeding!! For the more sedentary, we have sun-loungers and deckchairs in the gardens, a large TV in the drawing room which is perfect for watching Netflix or curl up by the fire with a good book. Nearby the beautiful Blackwater valley, with its many gardens and historic sites are well worth visiting. Visit pristine sandy beaches on the East Cork and West Waterford coastline, canoe along local rivers, cast a fly for wild salmon on the river Blackwater, shop at our vibrant local farmers’ markets and much more besides are all easily accessible from Ballyvolane House. Kinsale, Ardmore and Ballycotton are all fun day trips too.
Before dinner, gather for Bertha’s Revenge Gin cocktails by the fire. The food is one of the highlights at Ballvyolane House and the menus vary with seasonal, weather and fishing conditions. Our ingredients are mainly organic and much use is made of our walled-garden during the growing season.
After dinner, chat, play cards, board games or sing - we can arrange for a pianist to come and play (song sheets provided). We serve breakfast until noon every day too so you can enjoy a well deserved lie in.
