My wife and I stayed at Ballyvara House at the end of September 2007 and truly loved our stay. The house is beautiful, immaculately clean and has a number of amenities you won't find even in really expensive hotels - a library, a billiard room, and a lovely patio. Becky Flanangan, the owner and operator is a thoroughly charming person... more

Our favorite B&B of our 2 weeks in Ireland. The best part were the puppies the horse and the donkeys. They were very entertaining.
