Connemara
Cashel House Hotel
A Victorian country house on 50 acres of gardens in Connemara, family run, dogs welcome.
Kilconnell · Co. Galway
Ballinderry Park
A Georgian house of about 1740 in east Galway, one wedding at a time, sleeping up to 50 across the estate.
A closer look
A place with character.
Ballinderry Park is a proper house rather than a wedding machine: panelled rooms, 41 acres of garden and woodland, and one celebration at a time. The unusual part is that the sleeping capacity matches the guest list, spread across the main house, the coach house and glamping pods, so your entire wedding can stay put.
Prices start around €3,200, which is modest for what amounts to a private estate takeover. Kilconnell is handy for Galway city and Athlone, and it is an easy run off the M6.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- What is included at the starting price, and what is charged on top?
- How are the 50 beds split between the house, coach house and pods?
- Do you need to book two nights, and is the day before yours for setting up?
