What can I say? It was a really fabulous weekend at Ballinkeele! There were so many great things that I want to recommend - the spacious & warm rooms, the fabulous kitchen, the beautiful decorative presentation of the house, the wonderful grounds and the peace and quiet within the building - it was absolutely spectacular. Everybody loved everything about the house! We self-catered on Friday night and the dining room looked even more out of this world when the table was laid - there was nothing that we lacked to make our evening meal more than fabulous. On Saturday, we took ourselves off to Curracloe beach and had a wonderful walk in the fresh air to invigorate ourselves for another celebratory evening - a little more subdued than Friday night, but a late one nonetheless. Laura and Val allowed us some flexibility in relation to the check out time on Sunday which was very generous, and, too soon, we were heading back to Dublin for the 6 Nations rugby match which had a less than great result for Ireland. All in all, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, it would seem impossible not to considering the surroundings!
