"A Hidden treasure....a real find," Irish Times. Ballymote House is a friendly, family listed Georgian house, built around 1730 and set in its own parkland. The house is beautifully and sensitively restored, with antiques throughout, roaring turf fires and delicious home-cooked and locally sourced food. "Nowhere nicer than Ballymote...... Resplendent, elegantly faded charm, blissful beds and great cooking from Nicola are the Ballymote signatures." 100 Best Places to Stay in Ireland Bridgestone. We pride ourselves on our breakfasts; apart from the de rigeur Ulster fry (ours has sausages made by a local butcher to our family recipe and 8 or so other things on the platter) we offer homemade jams (3 or 4 different types), local honey, fruit from the garden and masses of other delicious things. It will set you up for a day of exploring! We are in the heart of St. Patrick's country; it is an ideal base for exploring one of the most historically and culturally rich parts of Ireland, with wonderful gardens, challenging golf courses, spectacular mountains, deserted coastline and unspoilt countryside for walking and horse riding.
