We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Ballycumber House. Connie is wonderful and took great care in showing us around the house and property. I’d highly recommend the stay and be sure to head down to Gussies for a pint or two. Thank you Connie!

A Magical Stay

We love Ballycumber House! From the moment we drove up we knew this was going to be an exceptional experience. We were greeted by Connie ( Ballycumber owner) and shown the house and given a wonderful picnic basket full of all the food necessities to get us through the first day of breakfasts ( and more!). Connie also gave us a brief history of her home and left tons of information about things to do in the surrounding area. The house and grounds are spectacular . You feel as if you are living in a different era, but with all the modern comforts. Our entire family felt so privileged to have had this experience . Thank you Connie for providing us with this magical stay.

The house is very special with its history. Connie can tell you all about. She is a great host, problems get solved very quickly. We loved the house, although it is old and has his special atmosphere. We used the tennis court, became friends with the horses and enjoyed. Each morning fresh bread at Gussie's, a 2 minute walk from the house. A nice outdoor area with more chairs would make it easier for the whole group to eat in the garden...

We had a fantastic break away at Ballycumber House for a group of 10 adults, 4 children & 2 babies. The kids had a ball playing in the huge gardens & in the well stocked playground. The adults enjoyed the sun terrace & the folly. We explored nearby Birr Castle, Lough Boora Park & Glenbarrow Waterfalls. I can’t recommend the house highly enough, Connie was so kind & welcomed us with freshly baked scones.

A wonderful place ♥️
A wonderful place ♥️
We for a group of 10 family and friends, and the house was a great way for us all to have separate adventures but come together at the end of the day. It's pretty central in the country and made travel to anywhere we wanted to see a fairly easy day trip. The history of the house is very interesting, and this place is huge! There were rooms I saw only once lol. The river in the backyard and the horses that run in the pasture next to it, and the folly on the hill, it doesn't get much more picturesque than that. I can't forget about the friendly, and tolerant locals also lol. And last but not least, Connie. She maybe the true treasure of the house. She arranged a birthday dinner for us on the day of our arrival and made the day extra special. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.
