A closer look

A place with character.

Dromquinna is designed around the idea that a wedding should feel like a house party, not a function. The manor sits above Kenmare Bay with terraced lawns running to the water, and the pavilion handles the ceremony outdoors with cover if the weather turns.

Kenmare is one of the better towns in the country for guests to spend a weekend, with the Ring of Kerry and Beara both from the door. All inclusive options and exclusive use are standard.

Before you book
