My wife said it best - "There are two things wrong with Ballyfin" To which I thought - Really? You can't be serious! She continued "Leaving and no other property can ever live up to it."
Ballyfin is, by some margin, the nicest place we...More
Ballyfin is a truly extraordinary EXPERIENCE, not just a hotel. The attention to detail on so many levels is impressive. The rooms are beautiful (comfortable beds!) and the grounds are stunning.
The food absolutely blew us away. The chef is very talented. We have special...More

What an oasis of calm arriving during Storm Ophelia. Power lines down but the Hotel had its own generator so no disruption to normal service. I must point out that normal service is exceptional service at the Ballyfin. It would be unfair to single out...More

Rumors and reviews did not disappoint - wow factor from when you walk up the steps. Returned to a different era but yet not uncomfortable to lose yourself in. My favourite was the "Versailles" room, draped in Gold with sublime chandelier from Napolean's sister!. All...More

Hi, I haven't done it myself but I am from the vicinity. The train from Dublin takes approx 1 hour. You can book your train seats in advance via Iarnoid Eireann. The taxi drive from Portlaoise station takes a maximum of 15 minutes. I'm sure if you call Ballyfin in advance and let them know what time your train arrives that they will gladly send a car for you. Enjoy your stay there, I hear it's out of this world. Hope this helps!
