Reviews for Ballyfin Demesne
Great experience
We had a wonderful experience in BALLYFINN, from arrival team , restaurant staff, spa therapists, and Glen who managed the outdoor archery and air gun activity was so good at guiding us in these sports with his expertise and engaging personality. The overall quality and standard of hotel was exceptional. .

From the moment we drove into the property, we were thoroughly impressed with the grounds and the establishment. The staff was extremely accommodating and the amenities were amazing. I would highly recommend this property to anyone I know.

A truly special place
Ballyfin exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Every last detail is 5 star as you might expect but it truly excels with its staff that are down to earth and are so welcoming that you manage to feel right at home despite being in such opulent surroundings. A special shout out to Glenn who went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful time during our anniversary stay. The only disappointment was having to leave, and in Ballyfin style, even this isn’t rushed as we were made welcome to continue to enjoy the grounds that afternoon.

Excellent, from start to finish. It was like being on a cruise and not having to get your feet wet. We were totally spoiled. The warmth and professionalism of the staff, complimented the Demense experience. No words are adequate to describe the gastronomic experience of the food. Superb in every way.
