Ballymaloe House | Cork | Ultimate Travel Company

Built on the remnants of a Norman Castle, Ballymaloe has been run as a hotel and restaurant by the Allens since 1964, although its history stretches all the way back to the 15th century. Dotted throughout the main house and courtyard outbuildings, the traditional bedrooms are warmly decorated and elegant with their pretty wallpapers, fireplaces, portraits and cosy seating nooks. For added indulgence, opt for a room with its own terrace and garden access.

Long celebrated for its food, guests of Ballymaloe are treated to a three-course lunch and five-course dinner menu, all showcasing ingredients grown on-site or sourced locally. As well as the working farm, shop and cafe, the estate encompasses the prestigious Ballymaloe Cookery School where guests can enjoy in-depth classes and afternoon demonstrations. The hotel also has its own outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts, and there are several walking trails to explore around the gardens, woodlands and farm. Those looking to venture further afield will find the famous Midleton Jameson Distillery within easy reach.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with 91ºÚÁÏÍø – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91ºÚÁÏÍø were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.
