Each of the 20 guest rooms is individually decorated with antique furnishings, fresh flowers, original paintings and marble bathrooms, and many feature four-poster beds, sofas and crystal chandeliers. Every room also comes with complimentary laundry service, handmade soaps and a mini-bar stocked with complimentary snacks and soft drinks. The Little Library Junior Suite is lined with walls of books, while the Sir Christopher Coote Suite features a large living room with views of the lake. For even more space to make yourself at home in, reserve the private two-story Gardeners Cottage, which is located just a short stroll from the main house and offers a cosy residential feeling with a living room fireplace, a charming kitchen and dining room and a spacious bathroom with a freestanding copper soaking tub.
Enjoy all-day dining in the restaurant that features fresh produce from the estate's eight-acre gardens, honey from the beehives and meat from local farms. Request a gourmet picnic hamper for a relaxed meal out on the estate grounds, dine out on the terrace and take advantage of the evening cocktail hour in the State Dining Room. For an unforgettable meal, enjoy a private picnic in a secluded spot you'll arrive at via a boat paddled by your personal butler. Join the sommelier for a wine and whisky tasting in the well-stocked cellar, where you can select a beverage to be served with your meal that evening.
Ballyfin guests can enjoy a host of outdoor activities including guided horseback rides and lessons, clay pigeon shooting, fishing on the lake, falconry, archery, Gaelic Games and strolling through several miles of paths that wind through the tranquil gardens. Learn about the house's history and restoration on a house tour, choose from thousands of books in the library or step back in time with a visit to the costume department to dress up in lavish period costumes for a photo shoot. When you’re ready to relax, go for a swim in the indoor pool, visit the sauna or take a soothing dip in the vitality pool.
