Garden rooms include The Lutyens Garden, Victorian Secret Garden, Barn Garden and The Beech Wood. The Lutyens Garden is a sunken garden inspired by the Lutyens garden at Heywood House.

    This is an entirely new garden, commenced in 1998, and made in thee Arts and Crafts Style. It gives the visitor a wonderful opportunity to see what Sissinghurst, Hidcote and Great Dixter would have looked like in their early years. There are wooded areas, a Nuttery, Great lawns, a lovely canal feature to the front of the house and some spectacular gems to the rear, most of all the Lutyens garden (which was constructed to rectifiy the mistakes of Poe in making Heywood a few miles away) and the ever charming Barn Garden. This is a work in progress and as the years roll by Ballintubbert can only get better and better. There is a wonderful Tea Rooms / Cafe/Gallery and Shop. Ballintubbert is well on its way to becoming one of the jewels in the crown of Irish Gardens which is particularly amazing since the owners reckon they have another fourty years of "making" to do before the project is "complete" I strongly recommend you visit it now while it is still young so you can return later to mark the changes and developments.
