Luxury Rooms at Ballyfin
Stay in a resplendent Regency bedroom, carefully restored to reflect the history of the house but updated to deliver exceptional comfort. Ballyfin’s classically-styled rooms have their own singular character, complete with opulent marble bathrooms.
The Morrison
With views of the ancient tulip tree and immaculate gardens, The Morrison was once Ballyfin’s nursery. Now complete with a cosy queen-size bed, this single room is the perfect choice for guests travelling solo.
Lady Sarah Pole
This classic room takes its name from William Pole’s wife, Lady Sarah, who particularly adored the gardens at Ballyfin. Located in the mezzanine, it has maintained its historic charm through the original corner fireplace and carefully curated antique furnishings.
The Mountrath
With glorious views that take in the gardens, Conservatory and Pleasure Grounds, The Mountrath includes one of 19th-century Irish artist Richard Rothwell’s finest surviving paintings. A retreat-in-waiting after a day’s exploration of the parkland.
The Marquis de Massigny
Styled after the French nobleman and son-in-law of Sir Charles and Lady Coote, this delightful room honours its Gallic inspiration with toile de jouy, the pastoral-patterned fabric beloved by Marie Antoinette.
The Tapestry
Once Sir Charles Coote’s dressing room and overlooking Sir Richard Morrison’s kitchen court, this room is a particular favourite at Ballyfin. Complete with the original Georgian details, it is hung with 17th-century Flemish tapestries to reflect European fashions from that period.
The Trellis
Delicate murals of trees, flowers and fruit commissioned from Lucinda Oakes, conjure a sense of nature woven through the wall’s trellises to make it feel like waking up in a garden. A light-filled room where summer is eternal.
The Knights
The thrill of a four-poster bed is not to be underestimated. Named after the room’s miniature suit of armour and painted in shades of green to reflect the grandeur of oak, The Knights looks out across the lake from its central location behind the entrance portico.
The Westmeath
The Westmeath Room reimagines Ballyfin’s heyday in the early 19th century, with richly-decorated patterned wallpaper, classical paintings and a magnificent carved bed with a domed canopy and gilt gesso frame that sits right in the middle of the room.
The Maryborough
With a name inspired by Mary Tudor, Henry VIII’s eldest daughter, The Maryborough sits above the library on the south-east corner of the house. Hung with exquisite 18th-century Chinese wallpaper panels from the Prince of Hanover’s collection, views across the Pleasure Grounds are nothing short of breath-taking.
The Sir Charles Coote
Tucked away on the ground floor, this cosy room used to be Sir Charles Coote’s study, known then as the Writing Room. Now home to a four-poster bed, Piero Fonasetti chest and pendant portraits with the intriguing marble sarcophagus bath a Roman souvenir from Sir Charles’s Grand Tour.
The Dr Beaufort
Intricate French toile walls and 18th-century furnishings pay homage to this room’s namesake, Dr Beaufort, a descendent of the French Huguenots and friend of the Pole family. Step out onto the first-floor balcony for views across the small, private garden below and the lake beyond.
The Viceroy
Thanks to its location in the former kitchen wing, The Viceroy is particularly notable for its privacy and seclusion, double bathroom and half-octagon shape. Overlooking the courtyard, it is exceptionally delightful during the day when light floods in through its Diocletian window.
