About Balally House

About our Accommodation and Services

Our rooms and ensuite bathrooms have all been freshly painted in 2022 to ensure they are bright and clean. The showers and tiles are new and updated between 2017 and 2022. The rooms are spacious due to it been a purpose built B&B. More importantly it is a home, our home and we take pride in ensuring it is as comfortable as can be for our guests. They consist of comfy beds with fresh, white linen sheets and duvet, the perfect setting for a peaceful night of sleep. I have carefully chosen a colour pallet that provides a quiet, relaxed & chic atmosphere. These calming colours and comfortable furnishings are sure to help you chill out. People come for the stay but come back for the breakfast! We offer a full menu choice for breakfast. I can say with certainty you will be hard pushed to find a better cooked Irish breakfast than at Balallly House.

We have irons, ironing boards, shampoo/conditioner, extra towels, kids toys, ice, hair straighteners, wine glasses, alarm clocks and adapters all available on request. Each room is also equipped with good powerful hair dryers for your convenience. Each room has fresh blanks for your extra comfort. Our towels are fluffy and renewed each year. Finally just across the landing, your own tea/coffee making facilities with plenty of chocolate bars are available in the newly refurbished lounge to ensure you have the utmost comfort throughout your stay. If you need an extra childs bed or cot please request before booking to ensure its availability and I can set it up for you. Some rooms fit the extra bed better than others so give me a call to organise. I can also print your boarding tickets or locator forms so you are all ready for your journey home.

Your hosts

Dawn is my name and I will be your host, I grew up in Shannon, Co Clare. I studied Tourism Management in Dublin, then travelled. I met Ryan in Australia and soon after moved to Dublin. I worked in a Destination Management Company where I would bid to encourage foreign organisations to let us host their conference and exhibitions in Ireland. Ryan who grew up in Co Antrim studied to be a chef. He worked in many top kitchens as sous chef before he spent many years as Head Chef. We married in 2011, had our baby girl Rosalie in 2013 and decided to leave the city life and combine our skills, experience and passion leading us to buy Balally House in 2015. We welcomed our baby boy Phoenix in October of that year. Ryan works as a firefighter. We have been working hard since welcoming guests to our home. We look forward to meeting you.

Want help planning your trip?

Before my move to Balally House I worked in Dublin selling Ireland as a destination to overseas companies and organisations to encourage them to choose Ireland to host their big conferences or exhibitions. I loved to plan their touring and entertainment schedule once they came onboard as I was always passionate about what Ireland has to offer and of course I was bias towards Co Clare as I grew up here. Now I get to share this experience and knowledge everyday with my guests. I just love getting out my map and talking through not only the highlights of the area but the hidden gems. I am more than happy to help plan your trip so please just ask.
