Ballylickey House

Ballylickey House home to four generations of the Graves Family, lies hidden among the rugged inlets of majestic Bantry Bay in south west Ireland. The 300 year old house, has the ambience of a beautiful family home, cherished and nurtured over centuries.

The idyllic and tranquil gardens reaching down towards the bay are an excellent way to spend an afternoon reading and relaxing. Nestling in the beautiful grounds not far from the house are a cluster of comfortable cottages which offer our guests cosy standard rooms or suites with their own sitting rooms and fireplaces. The rooms in the house offer our guests not only comfort, but the charm of an Irish country house, views overlooking the bay, the gardens and onto the Caha Mountains beyond.


Ballylickey House is an ideal centre to tour the beautiful south west of Ireland, or enjoy the various activities available such as golf, horse riding, hill walking, fishing, diving, sailing and many more. We will be happy to arrange any of the above for you. Ballylickey is situated only 3 miles from Bantry where they is a varied selection of top quality restaurants and bars.
