A closer look
A place with character.
Rockhill is run as an estate takeover rather than a shared hotel: up to 200 guests get the whole place, with no other wedding on the same day, and the Orangerie seats 150 for dinner. The house is 17th century with walled gardens and parkland around it, and there are 27 beds on site.
Letterkenny is minutes away for anything you need, and the Donegal coast is close enough for the following day. Legal ceremonies can be held on site and weekday dates are available. Prices are not published.
