Ballyvolane is a warm, welcoming, family house surrounded by woods, trees, fields and huge, impeccably maintained gardens. There are several trout lakes and private salmon fishing on the renowned river Blackwater, with fly-fishing courses available during the season. There's a series of comfortable, well- proportioned reception rooms and the bedrooms have stunning views of the garden or park. Guests enjoy simple, delicious home-cooking - the ingredients are grown in Ballyvolane's own walled garden or bought from local artisan producers. There's an excellent wine list and breakfast is served until noon. Nearby, the beautiful Blackwater Valley, with its gardens and historic sites, is well worth visiting, as are Blarney Castle, Kinsale, and Fota Arboretum and Wildlife Park.
