The Ballincard House is an incredible stay! One of our favorite spots on our vacation to Ireland. Dave and Irene are wonderful hosts. The private apartment in the house is spacious, full of history and comfortable. It has all the needed amenities. The grounds of the house are neat to explore, with wildlife and farm life living next to each other. We enjoyed Dave’s tour of the grounds. He has so much knowledge of the history and passion for keeping the estate up. The house is located in the middle of Ireland. You can make it a perfect home base for exploring the Midlands (10 mins from Birr, 25 mins to Clonmacnoise, 20 mins from the Slieve Bloom Mnts) or farther afield like Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Kilkenny, Limerick and Cork, etc.
