We stayed in Ballinkeele for a weekend with a large group of friends (adults and young children) and couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Laura and Val were fantastic hosts, the house was beautiful and spotlessly clean, the grounds were fantastic for walks, and there was even a little play area outside for the kids. We were worried that the place would be cold and drafty before we arrived, but we needn't have worried; the house was lovely and warm with central heating and open fires that were made up and ready to be lit. The bedrooms were all large and comfortable with 6 of the 7 being en suite, the kitchen had every utensil we could have ever possibly needed and was a fantastic space to cook and congregate in, and the living room was cosy and wonderfully stocked with board games, books and even toys for the little ones! We loved our stay in Ballinkeele and would highly recommend it for a large group.
