This summer, plan an unforgettable vacation at Ballymaloe House Hotel in Ireland. Perfect for couples, food lovers, and those seeking a restful escape, this two-night stay offers country house hospitality, seasonal dining, and sweeping countryside views.

Nestled in the lush East Cork landscape, Ballymaloe House starts with a warm welcome of freshly brewed tea or coffee and seasonal cake. Guests are encouraged to unwind completely - wander through the framed walled garden, explore the grounds by e-bike, join a biodiversity tour, or relax by the iconic outdoor pool, now open year-round.

New for summer, the woodland sauna offers a tranquil retreat immersed in nature. Thoughtfully set within a peaceful forest, the classic barrel sauna includes Ballymaloe touches such as fresh well water, water kefir, and soft towels. A sheltered porch invites you to ease into the experience, and a sauna session pairs perfectly with a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool.

Each morning, breakfast offers a delicious selection of hot and cold options, including Cookery School Jersey cow yoghurt, Macroom oatmeal with Ballymaloe honey and cream, freshly baked breads and scones, smoked mackerel with poached egg, and the Ballymaloe full Irish, alongside homemade kefirs and orchard apple juice.

In the evening, a five-course dinner showcases Ballymaloe’s farm-to-table philosophy, with dishes crafted from fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients sourced from the gardens and trusted producers, complemented by an excellent wine list.

With nearby beaches at Garryvoe and Shanagarry, scenic walks in Ballycotton, and Midleton Farmers' Market, there is much to explore.
