A closer look

A place with character.

Blairscove is a food place that happens to host weddings, not the other way round. Dinner is served in a stone walled room that started life as a barn, the ceremony can happen in the courtyard or a marquee, and the whole thing looks out over Dunmanus Bay.

It is deep into West Cork near Durrus, which means guests make a weekend of it. Capacity is 40 and accommodation is on site, though the property is not let on a fully exclusive basis, so check what else is happening.

Before you book

Worth asking.

  1. Is the house exclusively yours on the day, or are other guests staying?
  2. What does the menu look like, and is there a tasting?
  3. How many can the courtyard seat for a ceremony?
