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.
