Montalto Estate - Ballynahinch

A beautiful well run estate, there’s nothing more you could want from a day out here with your kids or for a nice peaceful walk. Cafe is 1st class, staff are great (thanks) and the grounds are accessible for all and the planting is superb, in my opinion the best gardens in Northern Ireland. A real credit to all involved.

Montalto Estate is a stunning wedding venue, we photographed half a dozen weddings here and every time we are just blown away. The grounds are incredible for portraits and the ceremony/reception space is great for large weddings. The staff are so accommodating and good fun too! We'd be delighted to to photograph another wedding here in the future!

Went to Montalto on a Thursday. It was dry thank goodness so we were able to do the lake walk and kids could play in the outdoor adventure play area. Plenty of picnic tables. The grounds are beautiful with lots of beautiful shrubs and flowers. There are lots of summer seats on the walks so suitable for older people who may need a wee rest. The cafe is very large with indoor and outdoor seating. One area is also dog friendly.

There is a 'bark park' with exercise and agility equipment for dogs.

The gardens and grounds are extremely well kept. There was even a witch's cottage hidden at the side of the lake. I would highly recommend Montalto to families.

We have been twice now. The first time we explored the estate & made the most of the play park. Our 3 year old loved it & we secretly loved it too. Cute little coffee huts right next to play park. Really cool set up.

The second time we came was for my mums 60th birthday. We reserved a big table for 12 people on a Sunday & the staff were so so helpful. They informed us of all the gluten & diary free options as my mum has dietary restrictions. They let us decorate & bring balloons. They also looked after our cake & helped us went surprising my mum.

It was a brilliant day, the food was gorgeous. Big thank you to the team for making it special.

Beautiful estate especially in spring. Spectacular when rhododendrons are in bloom. It was too soon for those when I last visited to participate in the weekly parkrun. However I went for a lovely walk in the list garden and daffodils were out. Very interesting from historical and gardening point of view too. Lots of trees damaged in January storm but mostly cleared up now.

A beautiful estate. We were there for a car show but you can hire the house for weddings etc. There is plenty of walks to do and beautiful gardens.
