Coolcarrigan House & Gardens
A consecrated Church of Ireland chapel from 1881 in a forest clearing, with 15 acres of gardens beside it.
A closer look
A place with character.
The chapel is the reason to come. Founded in 1881, set in a secluded stretch of woodland with parkland views, and licensed for a legal ceremony, which is rare for a private chapel. Around it sit 15 acres of gardens and an arboretum.
Outside caterers are allowed, so the meal is not dictated by a house kitchen, and there are no bedrooms, so accommodation happens in Naas or Clane nearby. Exclusive use is standard.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- Is the chapel licensed for the type of ceremony you want?
- Which caterers have worked here, and is there a kitchen or marquee point?
- How many does the chapel seat?
