Barrow House, Tralee, Co. Kerry

A closer look

A place with character.

Barrow House is small even by small wedding standards, and it leans into it. Eight ensuite rooms, the whole house to yourselves, and a choice of ceremony spots including the Marble Room, the boat deck and the garden. Humanist, civil and spiritual ceremonies are all catered for.

The setting is the Dingle peninsula at its quietest, with Tralee a short drive for anything you have forgotten. Dogs are welcome, which matters to more couples than venues admit. Prices are not published.
