On Sunday I was invited to Ballymagarvey Village, near Ashbourne Co Meath to have a look at the fantastic restoration of a Georgian estate.  A labour of love is the only description for the work that Vincent Callan and his team has put into Ballymagarvey.  It is a beautiful wedding venue, and also perfect for small groups and family get togethers.  There is accommodation for about 50 people in the main house and the village houses and apartments. It is on 107 acres of landscaped and tended land with a lake, orchard, gardens and wood.  Have a look at Ballymagarvey.ie.
