About the venue

The property sits on Dunmanus Bay outside Durrus, roughly a 75-minute drive from Cork Airport, and holds a 4.8/5 rating built on decades of running its own restaurant on-site.

With 11 guest rooms across the courtyard, most wedding parties base their whole weekend at the one address rather than shuttling guests between hotels.

Exclusive-use booking policy means only one wedding takes place per weekend on the property
Coach House restaurant and reception space, converted from the original 18th-century farm buildings, seats up to around 120 guests
11 individually decorated guest rooms on-site across the courtyard, useful for keeping a wedding party together
Set on Dunmanus Bay with a walled garden dating to the original 1760s estate

“Absolutely perfect meal, service, atmosphere! The starter and dessert buffets are an unusual and stunning start and finish, with a perfect main ( all on the menu sounded delicious but the specials are not to be overlooked).”

Questions about the venue

Where a number is our estimate, we say so.

How many guests can Blairscove House accommodate for a wedding?

The Coach House reception space seats up to approximately 120 guests, while the on-site accommodation sleeps a smaller number across its 11 rooms, so many couples put overflow guests in nearby Durrus or Bantry.

Is Blairscove House exclusive-use for weddings?

Yes. The venue runs one wedding per weekend, which means the house, walled garden and Coach House are given over entirely to a single booking rather than split between multiple events.

How do guests get to Blairscove House?

Most guests fly into Cork Airport (ORK) and drive roughly 75 minutes southwest, or into Kerry Airport (KIR) as an alternative, since there's no direct train or bus service to the property.

Can couples stay on-site the night before the wedding?

Yes, the 11 guest rooms on the property are often booked out by the wedding party for two or three nights around the event rather than a single overnight stay.

Does Blairscove House have its own catering?

Yes, the Coach House has operated as the venue's own restaurant for decades, so catering is handled in-house rather than through an approved external supplier list.
