A closer look
Sallymount is a private residence let for one wedding at a time, which puts the emphasis on privacy rather than grandeur. The rooms are comfortable rather than formal, and the day can be shaped around the house instead of a banqueting schedule.
Castleconnell sits on the Shannon a short drive from Limerick city, so guests have somewhere to stay and a short run to the airport at Shannon. Ceremonies happen on site and all inclusive arrangements are available.

Planning facts
For guests travelling in. Driving times are by road without traffic, from Sallymount House, so allow more at busy times.
Railway stations are those on the Irish Rail network, and the nearest by road is not always the best connection. Check the timetable before you plan a guest's day around a train.
OpenStreetMap lists 16 places to stay within 10 km of Castleconnell, and 60 within 20 km. Distances are in a straight line, not drive times.
OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and is thinner in rural areas, so treat these counts as a minimum and check booking sites for your dates. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, updated October 2026.
