Ballyvara House is a substantial luxury self-catering property boasting 11 en-suite bedrooms; the property can comfortably sleep up to 28 guests. The spacious house is an ideal group accommodation venue for a large family gathering, a Christmas or New Year's get together or a hen or bridal party.

Get the bar stocked and enjoy a drink in the lounge in front of a roaring fire or a welcoming glass of wine out on the patio in the courtyard garden.

The commercial kitchen has two ovens with 4-ring gas stove-top over each, a salamander grill and a large water boiler.
Children will always be entertained with the pool table in side the games rooms with a tennis court and play village outside for them to enjoy.
