Gougane Barra Hotel
A hotel alone at a glacial lake in West Cork, across the water from St Finbarr's island oratory.
A closer look
A place with character.
Gougane Barra is one of the most photographed spots in Ireland and the hotel has it to itself: a lake in a bowl of mountains, with the little stone oratory on its island across the water. The small wedding package takes the whole property for a night, with everyone staying over.
There is nothing else around, which is exactly the point. Guests eat, drink and sleep in the one place, and the walk to the oratory in the morning is worth setting an alarm for.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- Is a legal ceremony possible in the oratory, and who books it?
- What does the one night exclusive package include?
- How many beds come with the booking?
