A closer look

A place with character.

Coolbawn Quay is built like a small village on the shore of Lough Derg, with cottages around a harbour rather than one large building. The whole place is yours, so the wedding spreads across the site and guests wander between the water and the party.

Catering is self catering, which gives you room to shape the food, and there is water sports and boating on the doorstep for anyone staying on. Nenagh is 15 minutes away and Limerick about 50.
