Ballyfin Demesne
A 20-room Regency mansion in a 614-acre walled demesne — Ireland's most exclusive country house
The Privata Perspective
Ireland's great country-house secret: a Regency mansion completed in 1826, restored over nine painstaking years and reopened in 2011 with just twenty rooms inside a 614-acre walled demesne. Days run to boating on the lake, horse-drawn carriages, and the house's famous costume wardrobe — guests dress for dinner in period dress if the mood takes them. It is the closest thing to inheriting an Irish estate for a weekend.
