Ballin Temple

Ardattin, Co. Carlow, Ireland

Type of Accommodation: Self-catering

The only tracks beaten here are those of generations of Butlers, the ghosts of the Templars who preceded them and eager fishers on their way to the Slaney. The family are intelligent, caring people...

The family conserves 50 acres of ancient woodland that harbour rare plants and wild deer.
