About Barnabrow Country House

Nestled in an idyllic, country setting, Barnabrow Country House, located in East Cork can be exclusively yours. The immaculate estate grounds, individually designed bedrooms of the Manor House and the Courtyard, the cosy Mor Chluana cottage for drinks before dinner, and the grand banqueting hall with its renowned chef, are all designed to wrap you in a cocoon of intimacy. Barnabrow Country House offers several locations, inside or outside, where ceremonies can be conducted: Our tree-shaded Fairy Grove is simply magical on sunny days; the front of the Manor House offers stunning views of East Cork’s rolling countryside; and when climates forbid, guests can celebrate your union in our elegant conservatory, with 85 seats and much more standing space. The labyrinth of buildings and pathways at Barnabrow beckons guests to explore. They delight in the nooks and crannies that they unearth and are surprised by the occasional fairy that passes them by. Sometimes this is the effect of the champagne that they are sipping on the deck that overlooks East Cork’s rolling countryside, with distant glimpses of Ballycotton Bay. They are relaxing now, after the exchange of vows, which was held in the Fairy Grove, beneath tall trees that dappled the sunlight to make the whole ceremony look like an Impressionist painting. The canapes tantalise the palate and promise of the wedding feast to come. Your guests are charmed; they wonder at your cleverness to have found such a secret and to have brought them here. The tension of the past months begins to melt – your serene visage is momentarily glimpsed by a discreet photographer and is preserved forever. You look beautiful.

We were fortunate to be invited to dear friends daughters wedding and 5 day stay at this lovely location! It is located in the countryside amongst rolling green hills, the smell of clover and adorable westie pups along with some other well cared for farm animals that were a delight to visit with! The manor home, or reception area was something out of a young brides dream wedding! To have cottages for family and friends to stay and visit with and with the lovely grounds, made this a dream come true! The reception was Devine..food so tasty we needed to get some recipes from the chef whom gladly shared! The owner was a lovely woman whom walked

We had our wedding here recently, and had the most amazing day. It really is a beautiful wedding venue, and we were lucky enough to have the weather on our side as well. We had our civil ceremony here also, in the conservatory, which was perfect. Because we were fortunate enough that the sun was splitting the stones, everyone was able to be out on the decking for the drinks reception which was fantastic. Our photographer took a lot of photos on the grounds, but we also went to other beautiful locations for photos which are very close by. All of our guests raved about all of the food, which was delicious. We had a few vegans, and they also said that each of the courses they received was more delicious than the last. The service on the day was very good. But the wedding coordinator, Mary, was especially good in the lead up to the wedding. Instead of a late bar, we were able to help ourselves (to prepaid drinks) from 1.30am onwards, and it was no problem for everyone to stay up in the late bar ar

We recently had our wedding there over the bank holiday weekend, and we chose this venue a year ago for our wedding, we booked it for 2 nights and had around 100 people, and we both were so delighted with the venue and our choice. The food was unreal and the service was second to none. The staff, Mary, Geraldine, Stuart (the Chef) were very good in helping us organize things especially we were doing this abroad. If you are looking for a small intimate wedding with close family and friends, then this is definitely the place for it. We cannot recommend Barnabrow more highly for such a occasion.
