Latest News & Events

Due to the unprecedented and tsunami-like effects of the Coronavirus Covid-19 global pandemic and in the interests of the health and well being of our guests, colleagues, family and community, we have decided to temporarily close Ballyvolane House.

During this time, we applaud the amazing work of the healthcare professionals who together with other front line services are working tirelessly to diagnose, treat and heal those of us who are vulnerable or who have been infected.

We very much look forward to welcoming everyone back again to Ballyvolane House in the coming months when the weather is warmer, the gardens are more lush and the world has managed to get to grips with this dreadful virus.

In the meantime, should you need to get in touch, the office will remain open to take calls and respond to your emails and questions.

Mind yourselves, your families and your communities.

Best wishes,

Justin, Jenny and the team at BH
