A closer look
A place with character.
Courtmacsherry is a seaside village wedding: the hotel looks out over the bay, the village is a short stroll, and the whole property including the grounds is given over to your party. It is family run, which shows in how flexible the day can be.
West Cork means guests treat it as a weekend, and the coast around Clonakilty and Timoleague is worth the drive. All inclusive packages are available and the kitchen cooks in house.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- Does exclusive use include the bar, which the village uses?
