Wouldn’t have changed a thing. It was a beautiful house on beautiful grounds with everything we needed. Connie and Conor were a delight to deal with. Will definitely be back

It was a very unique experience for us to stay in a place such as this. The property is lovely. We did some fly fishing on the river, with ponies for company and we received a very thoughtful welcome basket to get us started. Connie and Connor took the time to show us around the place as well as offer local tips and allowed us to settle in for the next 5 days. Highly recommend!

Ballycumber House is AMAZING! 12 of us headed there for a long weekend and had an absolute ball. The house is brilliantly huge - so much space. The folly is gorgeous, as is the beautiful fishing area down the back. We loved exploring the house and grounds so much, that not once did we leave the location once we arrived there! Connie, Conor and Ciaran were all excellent hosts - brilliant communication and genuinely nice people. They sent us plenty of tips of things to do in the area - although as I said, we were kept entertained on the grounds themselves anyway, so much to explore! I'd definitely recommend staying here, and would love to come back again. Our dog Porkie also had a brilliant time, plenty of things for him to sniff at. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a great time in Constance's wonderful house. It is spacious and full of character and lovely to have the river running behind the house. It has great amenities like the tennis court and pool table. We enjoyed exploring the area and found loads to do with the kids. We very much appreciated the lovely hamper upon arrival. A truly unique and historical home. Constance and Conor were really lovely hosts. Many thanks again Catherine and Tom
