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.
