Ballyvolane House
A north Cork manor house with exclusive hire of the house, gardens and a purpose built dining terrace.
A closer look
A place with character.
Ballyvolane has been doing this longer and better than most, and it shows in how the day is put together. The house and gardens are yours, dinner happens on a terrace built for the job rather than squeezed into a function room, and the food is the thing people talk about afterwards.
It sits in the hills above Castlelyons, about 40 minutes from Cork city. The glazed dining terrace seats up to 140, and there is a smaller format for about 25 if you would rather the house stayed quiet, with all inclusive arrangements available so you are not project managing six suppliers.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- What does the all inclusive package cover, and where does it stop?
- How many bedrooms are in the main house, and who typically gets them?
- Is the dining terrace covered, and what is the plan if it rains all day?
