I had a lovely stay in Ballymaloe. Unfortunately, due to my propensity to book things late, I didn't stay in the Duckling Cottage, but in one of the cabins by the Orchard. The fates must have been on my side, as it was exactly what I was looking for for the few days.
Hazel was super hospitable, even bringing fresh eggs from the farm, bread, and some Ballymaloe goodies. The cabin was super clean, with some very nice touches.
I really enjoyed my stay and hope to be back soon 😊
