As winter takes hold and the days get shorter, escape to the beautiful Ballymaloe House Hotel for a dreamy overnight escape this festive season. Nestled in the luscious east Cork countryside, Ballymaloe House offers a warm welcome, with freshly brewed tea or coffee and a slice of seasonal cake served by the open fire in the drawing room.
Choose to stay by the fire with a book or take a stroll in the woodlands, wander around the walled garden or use one of their e-bikes to cycle around the grounds. Dinner is a real treat as Executive Chef, Dervilla O’Flynn, serves up a five course, farm-to-table menu. Celebrating 60 years of Ballymaloe House, the team remain true to the original ethos of Myrtle and Ivan Allen, serving a wonderful menu that changes daily, using only the very best of local and seasonal produce.
Wake up from a restful sleep to enjoy the famous Ballymaloe House breakfast with a selection of hot and cold options including Kinoith yogurt, Macroom porridge served with soft brown sugar and cream, freshly baked scones, and breads, grilled smoked mackerel and poached egg, the Ballymaloe full Irish, not forgetting a selection of delicious homemade kefirs and Ballymaloe orchard apple juice.
If you’re not lucky enough to win on this occasion, or are looking to spoil someone this Christmas, why not treat yourself, or them, to the next Ballymaloe House Hotel wine tasting weekend in February - a gorgeous weekend with expert talks, delicious wines, farm to table dining experience and lots more.
