Excellent service and excellent food. Everything organised over the internet they even collected the Birthday cake from Ballyhay for me. Served 30 people 3 courses and tea and coffee all for $30 euro's a head. Now thats amazing value this place is a hidden treasure, if you visit the Glen of Aherlow you must visit Ballinacourty House in its beautiful setting. Thanks Ladies.

“fantastic atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

I can't rate this campsite highly enough. we stayed here for ten days over easter and it has been the best holiday we've had in a long time.The facilities were spotless and the staff were so helpful and friendly.Entertainment was also running for the kids with an easter egg hunt and sports day which they really enjoyed. We also went to the restaurant one evening and the food was amazing. well done to all for such a wonderful experience keep up the good work

“A Wonderful Campsite!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

Ballinacourty House B&B has an adjoining campsite and it's here we stayed for the August Bank Holiday Weekend.

From the moment we drove through the gates, we knew we'd found somewhere special. The toilets, showers, kitchen areas etc. were spotlessly clean and kept that way at all times. On site facilities included a playgound, tennis court, games room and even an animal farm.

The farm was a big hit with the kids - you can help out feeding the pigs and any eggs that the hens or ducks lay are for sale in the shop the next day - great for a bunch of city slickers like us!

On the Bank Holiday Sunday, a fun day was arranged with a treasure hunt, face painting, races and later that evening a trad band played for all.

The Glen of Aherlow is a beautiful spot and famous for it's walks. The weather was slightly against us so we didn't get to do too much hiking. There's plenty to do in the general area so it didn't stop us from having a good time.

We'll definitely be back to stay here again.

“Lovely, historic B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2011

Took my mom on a tour of Ireland, and spent 2 nights at Ballinacourty House. It's a lovely, quiet spot, and the courtyard garden was especially nice. It's also close to the several of the walking trails that cross the Glen of Aherlow. Mary, our hostess, was very sweet and accommodating. Great breakfast, and the restaurant was excellent. Great food and very good value for the price. They offer either a 20 euro or 30 euro 40 course menu with good selections on either. Wines by the bottle were very reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Book through email to Mary rather than the online service, as then you'll get info from Mary about when the restaurant is open and various local info, plus all the money then goes to the B&B, not the service. I didn't and was sorry that I hadn't. Next time I'll send her an email directly.

“An absolute gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011

Stayed with Mary and her family at Ballinacourty for the Glen of Aherlow Winter Walking Festival last weekend. Absolutely fantastic place to stay and I cannot recommend enough the restaurant at Ballinacourty - the food and service was first class.The value menu had to been seen to be believed.
Mary and her sister were fantastic hosts and I wish them every success.
