Ballymaloe House Hotel Review

Everything about Ballymaloe is first class. A fabulous place to spend an evening with friends.

I havent been here for years but went a few times in the past for sunday lunch and remember it being an incredible experience. Must return soon!

Beautiful location. Meal suffered from inattention to detail. Three of our party ordered lamb done pink and it was well done instead. Things were so slow at that point we were afraid it would take forever if we sent it back. After we finished and after sitting there for about 30 minutes, we had to ask the servers to clear our table. Disappointing after all we had heard about this place.

We spend a night at the Ballymaloe hotel and had the opportunity to have two wonderful meals, a late night pate and cheese snack, breakfast, and a lunch. Everything was exceptional, from the quality of the food to the service. We were blown away by the desserts, both a meringue chocolate cake, and the raspberry fool with shortbread cookies. For any of you foodies out there, this place is worth a detour or a trip to Ireland. We also toured the walled vegetable garden which is truly inspirational.

Lovely ace to stop off for a stroll and have a look around. The shop is full of beautifull items, you will be spoiled for choice. The coffe shop was very nice and the staff excellent and really friendly.

Excellent place for dinner, coffee and a stroll. Lovely gardens and shop / cafe and the main house is fantastic..

OMG everything to die for, stay here, live here, do anything! just get there....

Loved it, loved it and guess what loved it some more. Bar is small but the cocktails and wine we had, alongside the 5 course meal are world class. No TVs in the rooms, who cares didn't go there to watch tv. Lovely walks around the grounds, we got a tour and the history of Ballymaloe. Absolutely loved this place and can't wait to return.

The whole thing was great The service was excellent

Beautiful setting and amazing food , one of the most pleasant afternoons I've had.

Really well done Irish food in an impressive country house.

Divine food, everything we ate was delicious. Definitely recommend the Lemongrass Lemonade. Food may be a little pricy but is worth it, the food (and beverages) are simply amazing.

Lovely old world hotel with beautiful grounds and wonderful staff

Review for the Cafe at the back of the Shop.
Cakes are gorgeous, sandwiches we had were only ok, and expensive for what we got as well.

Great location, very nice setting in the countryside, large parking

Home very nice in the cozy lounge to have a drink while waiting for the table.

We are brought to our table through different rooms, different decorations.

Menu 75 , with different choices of starters and dishes. Everything was very good.
Very good advice also from the sommelier, who speaks French and who advocates organic wines.

Good address to remember

The usual here; brilliance! EV chargers a plus for me too!!

Excellent food. Rooms very comfortable. Bathrooms need a bit of an update.
Prefer the less traditional breakfast menu in the cafe.

Great place, great staff, great food, no lighting outside front door to car park, very hard to see there at night.

Dining was an unforgettable experience; service was excellent; GM Peter Loughnane went above & beyond to rescue 5 Canadian +1 Montana damsels in distress find their way back to Crosshaven. We are so grateful!!! A once in a lifetime evening..!

Amazing place, not great signal for both phone and internet but obviously isn't needed as the scenery is more than enough!! Needed internet for road maps!

Food & Staff nice but Cafe quite shabby, a bit disappointing

Always a stunning meal in stunning surroundings. Staff are brilliant - being welcoming and well informed. A meal out here is an occasion to be savoured

Wonderful food. Brilliantly sourced. Expertly cooked.
