2020 PRIVATE GROUP BROCHURE As at June 2020

First, a word from our past customers

I searched for months for a suitable property to host a house party for my birthday. I looked at castles

in Scotland to villas in the South of France – but now I now think the luck of the Irish was with me when

by chance I stumbled across Ballinacurra House. What a find! After a phone call to Des I decided to

take a chance and booked the property without prior viewing. This could have proved a disaster but

ended up being the best decision I ever made. Ballinacurra House is wonderful – the grounds are

stunning and the food is excellent. But this was not what made my birthday party such a success. It

was Lisa and Des’ attention to detail, the wonderful staff who addressed you by name and were

always there when you needed them. It was being in a beautiful house that felt like your home and

the fact that all my family and friends (who are very well travelled) fell madly in love with the place and

are still talking about it. Thank you so much for your superb hospitality.

By far the star of the show of our trip around Ireland was Ballinacurra House. The best place anyone has

ever stayed at – EVER. Beautiful inside and out, huge rooms, and stunning grounds and playground

that the kids played on for hours. But the stars were the entire staff at Ballinacurra – who go beyond

normal servicing and are unbelievable. We decided to eat three dinners at the house and it was by far

the best food we had for our entire trip in Ireland. If I were you, I would recommend to everybody to

have their meals at Ballinacurra – this was a Grand Slam Dream Come True.
