Ballinkeele House, Wexford
Ballinkeele,
unlike any hotel or guesthouse, is a welcoming family home where
the combination of home cooked food, stunning
location, grand country
house accommodation and warm hospitality make for an unforgettable
experience. Bordering the rural Wexford village of Ballymurn, Ballinkeele
is magically situated on a secluded private estate far from the hustle
and bustle of everyday life. The present house, a magnificent Victorian
Italianate mansion was built in 1840 by the Maher family who have
been farming the Ballinkeele lands since 1808. The current owner Mrs Margaret Maher has worked hard to enhance the period
glamour with sympathetic interior decoration and an abundance of
beautiful antiques. The enchanting gardens, mature grounds and ancient
trees at Ballinkeele make this a truly secluded spot where visitors
really can slow down, relax and recharge.
