Catherine Fulvio runs both the Guest House and the Cookery School at Ballyknocken House which is set up in the Wicklow Mountains. My wife’s birthday present was to attend one of Catherine’s Cookery Courses.

Myself and my friend went here for one night. Catherine Fulvio is an admirable and successful woman. We stayed the milk parlour which I would highly recommend because it is alot more private than the main house. The place has a very old world feel to it also. The gardens veg/herb are very nice. The cookery course was good I... More

Just had a lovely weekend break in Catherine Fulvio's Ballyknocken House inWicklow. Was lucky enough to have a clear dry day to enjoy the surroundings. Novelty of the weekend was the picnic that we took on our hike in the Wicklow Mountains - it was delicious and we certainly built up an appetite. Relaxed in the lovely gardens before dinner... More

I was here earlier in the summer with my partner. We read about it in a couple of magazines and heard good things from our friends. We booked in for an overnight stay and cookery class. The class was really fun and we both enjoyed it especially learning the knife skills - which we are constantly using! The recipes were... More
