Ballyfin house is possibly the finest neo-classical houses in the country. Built in 1821-6 in Slieve Bloom sandstone by Sir Charles Coote to the designs first of Dominic Madden (best known for Tuam Cathedral) and then Sir Richard Morrison and his son William Vitruvius. On entering by the tetrastyle ionic portico and through the formal entrance hall one is confronted by a magnificent suite of rooms.

Adjoining the library is a superb Richard Turner conservatory. The grounds were landscaped by Sutherland and include fine trees, vistas, ice caves, a grotto, a serpentine lake, a tower folly and three gate lodges. Open to the public by appointment only, contact the number for more information and bookings.
