While dining at Ballyin House, you shall also be dining in the same location as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Author and Creator of the character "Sherlock Holmes". Mary Foley, mother of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; is directly connected to Ballyin House. In fact, Sir Arthur lived at Ballyin House for a few months when he was 20 years of age in 1879. At the time, he was training as a Physician in Scotland when he was offered the opportunity of being the Ship`s Physician on the SS Hope during this Artic Adventure. He was delighted with this opportunity and worked on this ship for a few months. On completion of the adventure, he was exhausted; and on return to his family in Edinburagh he was sent to BallyinHouse, Lismore to rest and recover.
