The Wellesley-Pole
This magnificent suite features a large bedroom and elegantly appointed sitting room is situated in the centre of the garden front, and appropriately was formerly known as the Garden Bedroom.
The suite views lead out into the sheltered slopes of the Pleasure Grounds that have been sensationally enlivened with the creation of a formal cascade. The cascade belongs to a tradition for setting formal features into the landscape of gardening in the grand manner that was fashionable here and in Britain from the seventeenth and into the early years of eighteenth century.
The chimneypiece, in white and Siena marble, is the finest example surviving from the Georgian house of the Poles.
Elegantly appointed with sunny garden views.
The suite has been named after William Wellesley, older brother of the Duke of Wellington, who in 1781 inherited Ballyfin from his cousin, William Pole. He adopted the Pole surname and settled at Ballyfin, where his son, William, was born in 1788. He elaborated the name even further on his marriage in 1812, but by disrepute is remembered by the shorter sobriquet, ' Wicked William'.
