Ballyduff House, built in 1760, is set in glorious parkland overlooking the river Nore. It is the beautiful home of Brede Thomas who, as well as running the B&B also farms. The setting is totally unspoiled which is almost unique in this part of Ireland.

We thoroughly enjoyed a very relaxing 3-night stay in Ballyduff House. Beautiful comfortable rooms, excellent breakfasts. Fabulous location by the river Nore with Inistioge an enjoyable stroll away. Brede was the perfect host - relaxed but attentive, and very entertaining. Very good value for money. Highly recommend it!!

We have just come back from a two night stay in Ballyduffin house. We cannot praise it enough. The house and grounds are magnificent. TheNore flows at the back of the house. The parkland has sheep and cattle and lovely views from the elevated position, truly pastoral!Breege our host is very friendly and welcoming and it really felt like a home from home. Our rooms were gorgeous. If you like Jane Austen this is for you. The interior of the house is straight out of a period novel. If all the above was not overwhelming, add to that the beauty of the towns and villages nearby and the natural scenery and glimpses of the Barrow and theNore as you drive around. There are medieval abbeys and priories everywhere steeped in history and the whole area is unlike anything in the rest of the country.…

Such a well maintained property and a warm host, Bride. It was a true discovery nestled in the middle of the Irish countryside. It's a stay that we will soon want to replicate in the same house.. And so cheap!

What a fantastic 3 nights at this wonderful home. As three couples, we had the three large and beautiful rooms in the main house. We had lovely weather and enjoyed drinks in the garden and library. Breakfasts are so good and Brede and her assistant Michelle made running this amazing home look easy! The area is beautiful and we spent a great day in Kilkenny, Nicholas mosse, Woodstock and Thomastown. All 6 of us can't wait to return.

We had the most amazing weekend in Ballyduff House March 6th - 8th for a 60th birthday gathering. The house is so conducive to chilling out in beside a roaring log fire. Rugs, carpets, large couches and wall hangings all contribute to a relaxing experience in a country manor house. The rooms were fabulously decadent and luxurious, crisp bed linen and beds fit for a princess. Brede is a wonderful hostess, so professional, generous and warm. We love the place and will definitely make it our go-to place for a family gathering each year.
