Ballyrafter House Hotel, an unusually attractive country house, was built in the early 1800's for the Duke Of Devonshire's estate. We overlook Lismore Castle, the Blackwater River and the Irish Heritage Town of Lismore. Our wooded desmene snuggles into the foothills of the Knockmealdown Mountains.

Fine Restaurant & Friendly Pub

Besides offering a friendly welcome to those visiting Ireland, Ballyrafter is a great favourite with the locals because of its snug pub and excellent restaurant which features locally raised foods and fresh fish.

"A relaxing atmosphere, log fires and good home cooking"
Georgina Cambell, Chairman, Irish Food Writers Guild

Fishing is owner Joe Willoughby's passion! The Blackwater River is a big, fast-flowing river particularly suited to fly fishing.
