Duckling Cottage and the whole set up at Ballymaloe is wonderful. The accommodation exceeds expectations with lovely touches which include coffees, milk, homemade biscuits, lovely linen, wood burning stove, great sound system and prompt responses. Only wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the hotel’s facilities. The shop and cafe were so handy too. It would have been fun to enjoy a concert in the grain room having noted the excellent artists who have played there. Perhaps next time. It’s a gem. Highly recommended.
