We were created by our host who made us feel welcome and at home. The house has a good vibe
Nothing we didn't like
La amabilidad de la propietària. Muy agradable. El encanto de casa antigua
Extremely quite and a beautiful country area
Wonderful hospitality. Lovely breakfast. Definitely recommend.
Todo Genial. Anfritiona muy amable. Recomiendo.
Hostitelka je velmi milá a vstřícná. Snídaně byla velmi dobrá a měla přátelskou atmosféru. Líbila se nám poloha ubytování. Je to ubytování za dobrou cenu ve kterém nám nic nechybělo - pokoj byl čistý, v koupelně byl sprchový gel i šampon, hostitelka nás nechala použít rychlovarnou konvici :)
The host was wonderful. We appreciated Kamla's attention and dedication.
- Molds visible in the bathroom, probably present everywhere. - Amazing house in need of a deep makeover. - En-suite bathroom is extremely tiny. It is very hard to get out of the shower and move around the bathroom.
Sehr charmante Gastgeberin, die einem gute Einblicke in den irischen Alltag geben kann.
El entorno de la casa es precioso, la casa es espectacular, habitación espaciosa, todo muy limpio. La dueña de la casa es muy amable y nos puso desayuno aunque en la reserva no venía el desayuno como incluido. 100% recomendable.
Nada, todo fue genial.
Buona struttura e proprietaria molto disponibile e gentile
The host was really lovely and made us feel very welcome. A lively lady. Continential breakfast was fine.
Booking.com to have rated it properly so we were aware of what the place was like. The accommodation was not as expected. It is a large home that needs a lot of work. We were looking for country cosy and it didn't have that feel at all.
The host was nice, she helped us check in late but gave us quite a scare when we saw her in the middle of the night in the stairs. The drive in was also a little creepy in the dark so it might be why.
The house is very old, the room was kinda fixed with the good old landlord coat of paint but I saw a few rust stains and spiders and it's just not the perfect time I was hoping.
La struttura silenziosa e fresca. Sebbene fosse un luogo di altri tempi era molto comoda e pulita. Lo staff era estremamente accogliente, la proprietaria di casa è stata gentilissima.
L'accueil chaleureux de notre hôte, et le petit dej parfait !
Die Gastgeberin Kamla macht durch ihren Charme, ihr Freundlichkeit, ihre Verbindlichkeit und die sehr genussvoll Gespräche Alles wett, was es zu bemängeln gibt. Es gibt entgegen der Ankündigung d o c h Frühstück, eben nur ein kontinentales, kein englisches. Das war uns sehr recht. Kamla hat uns damit sehr überrascht. Trotz anderer "besserer" Häuser hat uns das Ballynona Haus am besten beeindruckt. .
Das früher sicher vornehme Gebäude ist in die Jahre gekommen. Auch die englisch barocke Einrichtung ;) Man wird dank der sehr sympathischen Ausstrahlung der Gastgeberin Kamla schnell darüber hinwegsehen.
Cadre enchanteur ainsi que l'hospitalité ! L'eau vient d'un puits et est délicieuse !
Robinetterie d'époque sans beaucoup de pression car l'eau vient d'un puits. Mais possibilité de prendre un bon bain si vous êtes habitués à des douches avec beaucoup de pression.
The house is a beautiful old manor with wonderful charm. The decor was a vintage/antique vibe that I loved. Set right in the countryside with beautiful rolling hills of green as views from some of the bedrooms and the kitchen. Kamala was a wonderful, welcoming host and fixed a very nice breakfast in the morning with homemade muffins, hard boiled eggs, toast, cereal, milk, yogurt, and fruit. Chilled, relaxed place that I warmly recommend!
There were a few cobwebs in the room that could do with a little dusting away :D but all in all, a great stay! Just for those that don't do well with stairs, there are quite a few of them to climb in the house.
Elegant quirky clean comfortable

Erittäin rauhallisella paikalla, pikkuajomatkan päässä reitiltämme. Ihana näkymä huoneesta ja viihdyimme todella hyvin. Raskaan päivän päätteeksi nukuimme todella hyvin, se on lomalla todella tärkeää.

bats in the room
La signora che ci ha accolti era davvero disponibile e gentile, le camere sono curate e pulite, la colazione é stata molto piacevole!
Ballynona House es una mansión del siglo XIX que tiene muchísimo encanto. La ubicación es espectacular ya que está rodeada de praderas bucólicas. Kamla es capaz de conseguir que te sientas como en casa (aunque nunca hayas vivido en una de 7 habitaciones y 2 chimeneas). Prepara un desayuno muy completo y con dedicación en su maravillosa cocina, lo que facilita la conversación con el resto de huéspedes. No esperes un alojamiento impoluto, moderno y aséptico pero sí uno que recordarás con cariño.
Hôtesse très sympathique qui nous a permis d'utiliser sa cuisine pour notre dîner. Le petit-déj était bon. Maison avec du charme.
L endroit exceptionnel Très belle vue sur la campagne. Hôtesse très accueillante et arrangeante. Bon petit déjeuner avec vue sur la campagne… Chambre immense et belle maison ancienne. Merci à calma pour son accueil.
The only two good things were hot water and qr code link to wifi
Dirty ,Damp Drab ,falling apart.....no TV, no tea or coffee facilities in room ....paint coming off walls ... considered sleeping in my car ....could someone please contact me with a refund offer.
È una struttura storica con una vista sul paesaggio pazzesca
Camere un po’ lasciate andare ma comunque abbiamo dormito bene
La signora è stata gentilissima ed ha preparato una super colazione. Ottima la posizione. Casa vitale accogliente
La propriétaire est très gentille et accueillante. La maison est grande et l'emplacement est au calme
Kamila is such an interesting person. And a hard worker!
Well the toilet rules are a bit off putting but with such an old building they're understandable!
Kamla is echt de meest vriendelijke gastvrouw. Ze doet alles om het je naar de zin te maken, stelt zich heel dienstbaar op. Staat ook open voor een praatje, een gezellig mens! De locatie is prachtig, afgelegen en dus rustig. Een landgoed met veel charmes en rijk aan historie. Hier moet je van houden. Wij vonden het prachtig! Ook al moet er het nodige an onderhoud worden gepleegd, het doet niet iets af aan de ervaring. We hadden geen rekening gehouden met ontbijt (niet goed gelezen wellicht) maar er stond smorgens van alles klaar, van gekookte eitjes tot verse toast en yoghurt met diverse soorten cereals. Heerlijk ontbeten. Wat ons betreft is dit adres een aanrader!
What a beautiiful house! In the middle of nature, with great views. Kamla is a very friendly and helpful ‘lady of the house’. Breakfast was very good as well.
everything was good!
Breakfast was fine. I would like a cooked breakfast but understand the reasons why a simple breakfast was supplied.
The Shower was excellent but a little on the small side. Hot water was plentiful. The toilet requires attention in the off suite as the refill takes far too long and generally does not flush sufficiently well to clear the waste. The b&b requires a lot of maintenance to bring up the standards.
Netradiční ubytování ve starobylém domě s milou a ochotnou paní domácí,která nás uvítala šálky čaje a domácími muffiny.
Omezená manipulace s okny při větrání.
J’ai été accueillie très chaleureusement après une semaine éprouvante à vélo ! C’était parfait, la vue est incroyable et la maison est à 10 minutes de la Greenway à vélo.
The peace and quiet off the place and the owener make u welcome would love too go back there soon gieves us great places too go and see
Nothing
Una splendida villa vintage. Bello risvegliarsi nella natura e splendidi panorami. Una buona colazione a completare il tutto. Un grazie a kamala.
A charming cozy place to stay. Very welcoming
Super friendly host who was welcoming and helpful. A great environment with spacious rooms and a great breakfast.
This is a older property, don’t expect all the mod cons but our host was welcoming and lovely
Nothing really,
Beautiful house, and absolutely lovely and welcoming owner!
Nothing it was great
Super nuit, Kamla est une hôte d’une gentillesse incroyable, serviable et tout simplement adorable
Old world charm, wonderful host
The dog and cat
Unfortunately, we were not able to stay at the property. When we arrived, we noticed that the house was very old, poorly maintained, and had a very strong smell of damp/old closed-up house. We had to open the windows immediately because the smell was extremely unpleasant and impossible to tolerate. In addition, the owner informed us that there were bats at the property, which made us feel very scared and unsafe. This caused a lot of distress, and we did not feel comfortable or secure enough to use the house, sleep there, or remain at the property. The atmosphere felt very heavy and uncomfortable, and the house did not seem to be in suitable condition to receive guests. For this reason, we had to leave immediately. This was not a matter of personal preference, but a matter of safety, hygiene, and well-being. Therefore, we kindly request the cancellation of the booking without any charge and a full refund, as we were unable to use the accommodation.
The host, Kamla, was very welcoming and friendly. We loved the grandeur of the property and the relaxed atmosphere. The room was very clean and the parking space for our van was excellent. Also, the informal breakfast was great and we particularly enjoyed chatting around the breakfast table with the other guests and the host, whilst enjoying the lovely views over the garden. The house is an old period property with original features, and for us, this added to the charm of our stay.
There wasn't anything that we didn't like. Everything was great.
The dog and views
Everything was great
Die Gastgeberin war super sympathisch. Es ist ein riesiges Haus, welches wirklich Geschichte ausstrahlt.
The hostess was so gracious, and the setting had sweeping views across the fields. I loved it. Highly recommend. - Kay x
It’s beautiful and tranquil setting.
A beautiful and unique heritage home with a lovely host. Kamil provides a substantial breakfast and engaging conversation. Bed very comfortable.
The house is very tired, if interesting.
Hostess, friendly helpful, coffee etc Great views, garden.
Very old, if you like stairs lots of them, there are two places called Ballynona House. Taken to wrong location first.
Nous avons adoré la belle et lumineuse chambre qui donne sur le jardin et sur les alentours, le lit et la couverture extrêmement confortables et la discussion avec Kamla autour d'un bon petit-déjeuner qui nous a presque fait oublier de partir !
Nice and quirky. Very comfortable and clean. Owner was extremely helpful.
Road to location wasn’t the best.
We didn't stay for breakfast the following morning, but the owner still made sure we didn't leave with empty stomachs. Delicious, homemade and warm muffins set us up for our journey home. Her dog was lovely and friendly. I loved the view, it was gorgeous in the good summer weather and honestly, I would love to go back in the autumn to see how it changes. Very much enhanced our stay. The house itself is full of charm and it was easy to feel at home in such a cosy place.
Nothing I didn't like. Like I said, the house was full of old world charm and it was everything I would want for my own house. Lovely gardens and the owner works hard herself to maintain them.
Kamla was a great host the location was perfect for us and we would definitely stay again
Kamla est une hôte exceptionnelle ! Un grand merci pour son accueil. La chambre, parfaitement propre, était splendide et très agréable surtout au lever du soleil. Le lit, un vrai nid douillet. La demeure de Kamla est incroyable, tellement atypique, d'un autre temps... nous avons adoré !
Tout était parfait
Great location and quiet!
No shower, only minimize bath. No TV.😔
The breakfast and coffee was very good, and we were offered lovely hot tea when we arrived.
After being cold all day we were looking forward to a cozy stay. The house was very cold when we arrived, and didn’t warm up. Luckily there was a hot shower and electric blanket for the bed. We were also told that the water upstairs was not drinkable, but only as an aside, and after we had already done that. There were glasses there but no notes indicating not to drink-oops!
Comfy bed
Excellent breakfast and conversation, thanks for hosting us!
Grounds were beautiful and pristine.
Nothing.
No breakfast, despite room advertised as including breakfast. Rooms are in need of a serious clean-and renovation work (I was afraid to touch the window for fear that it would disintegrate.. Only one small towel was provided for shower. Room was sparse and had no TV. Hostess was unfriendly and unwelcoming.
Trés grande chambre privée avec salle de bain dans une grande demeure à une demie heure de Cork. Hôte très agréable et disponible qui nous a même offert de quoi petit déjeuner (Toasts et céréales avec thé café). Une belle rencontre 🙂
Quirky, but quiet, clean and comfortable.
It's in an isolated location, so if you don't have a car you need to bring food in
