"There’s nothing else in Ireland quite like Ballyfin Demesne. This spectacularly well-preserved Regency house sits on no fewer than 614 acres of parklands and woodlands, a mere hour outside of Dublin. And if the exterior is a pitch-perfect restoration, worthy of a 19th-century period film, the interiors are a contemporary-classic evolution of the house’s original style, an opulent fantasy to rival any country-house hotel you could name." - Tablet Hotels
