Ballyvolane House
Ballyvolane House & Blackwater Salmon Fishery
Castlelyons, Ireland
COST: $
Justin Green, the fourth generation of Greens to live at this enormous Italianate country property, runs the place with his wife, Jenny, in a comfortably homey style - a friendly cat stretched out on the bench of the grand piano, spaniels and children scampering about - but with a deluxe and vaguely bohemian air.

Justin will even arrange a fishing trip with a guide.
