A closer look
A place with character.
Carrygerry is the practical choice for a wedding with guests flying in. It is ten minutes from Shannon, yet the setting is farmland and old trees rather than anything airport shaped. Eleven ensuite bedrooms, a conservatory for the ceremony and a house that has been at this a long time.
It runs on exclusive use with in house catering and all inclusive options, and legal ceremonies can happen on site.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- Does exclusive use include the restaurant, which trades separately?
