Where the work happens

A 300-year-old estate, booked for one company

Georgian rooms with windows on the lawn, the set-up done before the coach arrives, and nobody else in the building.

The Drawing Room

The plenary

The Drawing Room

The main session room in the Manor House: tall windows on the lawn, boards and a screen set up before you arrive.

The Library

Breakouts

The Library

Doors that close, a fire, and enough quiet for the one-to-ones and the working group that needs its own room.

The Dining Room

The long table

The Dining Room

Boardroom-style at one table by day, the team dinner by night. Working lunches come to you here.

The Coach House Bar

After hours

The Coach House Bar

Its own kitchen, a private bar with no last orders, and a terrace. Where the real conversation happens.

  • Wi-Fi throughout
  • Screen, PA and boards set up before the coach arrives
  • Manor House sleeps 14, Coach House 12, glamping village 18
  • Hot tub, 41 acres, free parking

Team building that is not trust falls

Team building on the estate

Everything below happens here, on the 41 acres, run by people we know. Prices are per person for the headcount on your form.

The free afternoon

A coach and driver take the team to the Cliffs of Moher, Connemara or Galway after lunch and have them back for dinner. Midweek, the Cliffs are noticeably quieter.

AI masterclass for teams

One day inside your offsite gets the team a working AI tool stack and their first real automation. Three days ships something. See the programme.

FAQ

The questions procurement asks

How fast do we get a proposal?
Within one working day of the form, written by a person who has read what you sent. It comes as a PDF with rooms, meals, sessions and team building itemised and VAT shown, so it can go straight to whoever approves the spend. If you would rather talk first, put your phone number on the form or ring us.
Do we get a VAT invoice, and can we pay on account?
Yes. Every booking lands on one invoice with VAT itemised line by line: accommodation, catering, team building, meeting room set-up. A deposit secures the dates and the balance is invoiced on a schedule before the stay, by bank transfer or card through a secure link. Send a purchase order number with the enquiry and it goes on every document.
What does an offsite cost?
The three packages on this page price live per person for your headcount; the 3-Day Offsite is the usual starting point, with breakfasts, working lunches, two dinners, a signature experience and the meeting room set-up included. Everything is itemised, so you pay only for what you choose. Pay the deposit inside the early-decision window on your proposal and the rate comes off the total.
Can we do a team building day without staying over?
Yes. A day event is venue hire for the day plus whatever you add: a working lunch, an experience like the Murder Mystery or Garden to Table, a facilitator, the meeting room set-up. Say "day event" on the form and the proposal prices without accommodation. From Galway it is a 30-minute drive, from Dublin about 1 hour 45, and a coach can collect the team at the office.
What is the minimum and maximum group size midweek?
Four people up to fifty. A leadership team of four to ten takes the Manor House; a company of thirty to fifty takes the whole estate with the Coach House and the glamping village. Overnight stays are a minimum of two nights, and a day event has no minimum stay at all.
More questions (9)
What is the early-decision rate?
Every proposal we send carries a deadline. Pay the deposit before it and a percentage comes off the whole quote, applied the moment the deposit lands, so the balance you are asked for is already the lower one. Miss the deadline and the quote simply stands at its full price. The current rate and window are shown on the proposal itself.
What are the working spaces like? Wi-Fi and AV?
The drawing room in the Manor House takes the plenary, the library takes breakouts and one-to-ones, and the dining room seats everyone at one table. For a bigger team week a marquee on the lawn adds a second breakout space. Wi-Fi throughout. The meeting room set-up includes the screen, PA and lighting for the session room; tell us what you are presenting from and we will have it ready.
Can we bring our own facilitator or trainer?
Of course. Many teams do, and the rooms, boards, screen and coffee are ready for them. If you would rather we found one, a professional facilitator to design the agenda and run the day is priced on the proposal.
How do we get there?
Dublin Airport is about 1 hour 45 minutes by road, Shannon about 1 hour 20 and Knock about an hour. Our coach partner, Fahy Coaches, a family firm founded in 1955 ten minutes from the estate, collects the team at any of them, or at your Dublin or Galway office, in coaches from 16 to 53 seats with Wi-Fi on board.
Why is everything Monday to Thursday?
Because it is the better offsite and the better price. Weekends here go to weddings and celebrations, so a midweek block is the easiest way to take the whole estate, the roads and the Cliffs are quieter, and the whole place is yours. Minimum stay is two nights, minimum group four.
Can we hold our Christmas party here midweek?
Yes, and midweek is the way to do it. Weekends in December go to weddings, but a Monday-to-Thursday Christmas party gets the whole estate, the chef, a DJ or a live singer, the bar with no last orders, and beds for everyone so nobody drives home.
What is the AI training?
A three-day residential programme built here at Ballinderry Park: day one sets up your team’s AI tool stack, day two is hands-on building from briefs drawn from your own business, day three your people demo what they built and leave with a 90-day roadmap. A one-day masterclass can be added to any offsite; a private cohort for ten or more is priced on the proposal.
Is it self-catering or catered?
Catered, unless you would rather not be. Cooked breakfasts, working lunches, and Rustic, Select or Premium dinners from the chef, all priced per person on the proposal. The Coach House has a full kitchen if a team wants a night to itself.
Accessibility and rooming?
The Manor House and Coach House have ground-floor bedrooms and the houses are steps apart across a lawn. Send the rooming list and any access needs with the enquiry and we allocate accordingly. Single occupancy is easy for a leadership group; a bigger team shares.
