A closer look

A place with character.

Killymoon was rebuilt in 1802 to a design by John Nash, his first castle in Ireland, after fire destroyed the earlier house. It overlooks the Ballinderry River on the edge of Cookstown and keeps its Georgian plasterwork and a cantilever staircase.

Ceremonies can be held on the staircase, in the mirrored ballroom or on the lawns by the river. For a larger reception you can put up a marquee through local suppliers.

Before you book

Worth asking.
