Lough Derg House, Dromineer, Co. Tipperary

A closer look

A place with character.

Lough Derg House is a small, warm guest house rather than a venue, with six ensuite rooms and a lakeside setting at Dromineer. Booked in its entirety it suits a wedding of about a dozen people who want a weekend by the water rather than a production.

Dromineer is a sailing village on the Tipperary side of the lake, with pubs and a harbour a short walk away. Expect to organise catering and the shape of the day yourselves.
