Ballyknocken House is scenically located on a 350 acre farm only a short drive from Dublin City Centre in County Wicklow, Ireland. This charming Victorian Farmhouse offers Bed and Breakfast accommodation and is home to TV Chef and Food Writer, Catherine Fulvio.
A labour of love, at Ballyknocken we pride ourselves on offering a warm welcome and friendly service with seven bedrooms all reflecting the Victorian style of the premises.

Growing up on a working Farmhouse, Bed & Breakfast while holding on to the apron strings of her mother, Catherine Fulvio (nee Byrne), was destined to dedicate her career to the food & hospitality industry.

Conveniently located in the Garden of Ireland, Ballyknocken House is the perfect place to explore County Wicklow from, hike the Wicklow Way, play a round of Golf or take a short drive to Glendalough, Sally Gap or Powerscourt Waterfall before returning to the comfort of Ballyknocken House.
Alternatively guests can enrol on a cookery course at Ballyknocken Cookery School.
Catherine is fast becoming a household name here in Ireland having completed three TV series for RTE and launched two Cookbooks, she has made an impression on many Irish homes for providing quick and easy food suitable for family life and entertaining friends.
She has made many media appearances including the NBC Today Show in the States as well as appearing on other major international TV channels including Discovery, The Food Network and BBC Good Food Channel’s “Market Kitchen” to name a few.
Ballyknocken House is located only 29 miles south of Dublin City, it is the ideal location for a weekend break or a longer stay while exploring the surrounding countryside.
We look forward welcoming to you and do let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more memorable.
