Ballyvolane House is located approximately a 30 minute drive from Cork City. The old country house is anything but stuffy and is particularly good for toddlers. The hotel offers ‘Little People’ breaks throughout the year for a few days of family fun. The hotel has a tree house to play in, woods to explore, hens to feed, eggs to collect, donkeys to pet. Each child is given a storybook and a jar of cookies on arrival, and ‘Farmer Justin’ takes all the kids on a tractor and trailer ride around the estate after breakfast; then each evening at 5.30pm, the owners and their kids host a High Tea Party.
