We stayed at Ballinkeele House to celebrate my mum's 70th birthday and it was the perfect location to host a weekend with family. The house itself is beautiful and warm with very lovely modern touches. There was so much to do with the kids around the grounds including a small playground and the closest beach is 15 minutes away. The hosts were terrific, very prompt in their responses and even swung by to show us how to use the induction hob. All the beds were really comfortable and honestly I couldn't fault the place. It was a magical setting for a really wonderful weekend.
