Property overview
Located in Ireland’s Ancient East nestled beneath the Blackstairs Mountains close to the picturesque village of Ballon and just 17km from Carlow town sits the enchanting 19th century Ballon House set in sweeping lush pastures. Built on gracious living of an elegant past today Ballon House combines that history with every modern convenience. Set on mature parklands with landscaped gardens surrounding Ballon House, guests will enjoy a tranquil setting.
Accommodation
Distinct character and warmth characterise the 12 individually appointed bedrooms within the 19th century Ballon House, all bedrooms include the modern comforts you would expect to find. Each room provides its own individual character reminiscent of a by-gone era the former home of the Lecky family.
Location
Situated in the Ireland’s “Sunny Southeast”, Co. Carlow's greatest claim to fame is its collection of dolmens, or megalithic portal tombs covered by capstones. In fact, the capstone of Brownshill Dolmen, located a few kilometres outside of Carlow Town, is meant to be the heaviest of its kind in Europe, weighing in at a massive 100 metric tonnes. Co. Carlow is generally a pretty quiet place, keeping to its attractive villages and green countryside. The River Barrow flows right through Carlow Town, the county town, and provides locals and visitors with one of the most beautiful waterways in Ireland, including ample chances for boating, rowing and angling, including salmon fishing. Gardens also abound around Carlow, which hosts several garden events each year, including the Carlow Garden Festival in August. Meanwhile, the Carlow Garden Trail leads to the many gardens and parks around the county.
