A closer look

A place with character.

Dripsey gives you two buildings and a lot of land: the old castle for atmosphere and photographs, the Georgian mansion with eight ensuite bedrooms for the living and sleeping. The estate runs to 110 acres of woodland, all private.

Being 25 minutes from Cork city makes it unusually easy to reach for somewhere that feels this cut off. Capacity is around 40 and the estate is yours exclusively.

Before you book

Worth asking.

  1. Which parts of the castle are usable, and which are ruin?
  2. Who caters, and is an outside caterer allowed?
  3. How many nights does the hire cover?
