Ballinafad House

Ireland

Ballinafad House (Irish: Béal an Átha Fada, meaning 'mouth of the long ford') is a Georgian mansion near Belcarra, County Mayo, Ireland. The 70,000 square foot house of 110 rooms was built in 1827 by Maurice Blake, High Sheriff of Mayo. It holds a legally protected conservation status for its historical importance. Following the Blakes, the buildings were used as a Catholic seminary, boarding school, agricultural college, refugee accommodation and latterly as a hotel. The property includes 40 bedrooms, sports courts and renovated, 19th century chapel. It was featured on the BBC's Great House Revival in 2018.
