The Dr Beaufort
The bedroom opens on to the first-floor balcony, overlooking a small private garden with views also to the lake. Its walls are covered with a green and terracotta French toile - Les Muses et Le Lion.
In 1780 Dr Beaufort admired the elegance of new rooms at Ballyfin and today the tradition of stylishness is continued in the decoration of these rooms, evident in the use of sophisticated French toile to cover the walls and the fine eighteenth-century furnishings. Between the windows is a mid -eighteenth-century mahogany bureau bookcase with a swan neck pediment, finely terminated with carved rosettes, and rocaille finial. The bedroom opens onto a balcony, overlooking a small private garden with views also to the lake.
This charming room is named after the Rev Dr Daniel Augustus Beaufort.
The room is named for the Rev Dr Daniel Augustus Beaufort who was an 18th century parson-scholar and spent much time at Ballyfin as a guest of the Pole family while he was Rector of the nearby town of Mountrath. His son Admiral Francis Beaufort gave his name to the Beaufort Windscale and to the Beaufort Sea indicating the widespread connections with this quiet corner of Ireland in times past. The Beaufort's descent from French Huguenots, whose expulsion from France and migration to Ireland at the end of the seventeenth century not only led to the establishment of a vibrant community in nearby Portarlington, but also was instrumental to the successful development of the Irish linen industry
