‘Attended a family wedding at Barnabrow in May 2013. Had huge reservations having read some of the reviews on tripadvisor. The event was a huge success from start to finish. On arrival met by friendly, helpful and very efficient staff. Shown to our room which was quirky, warm and spotlessly clean. The event was like a mini adventure – first stop, drinks reception held in a two storey “cottage” – atmosphere helped along by the gorgeous welcoming open fire and tasty nibbles – the adjacent decking provided an alternative location to sip champagne whilst soaking up the sun which made an appearance. Next stop the main reception area – WOW – unique dining space the layout of which lent to a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Adjoining bar area complete with open fire, surrounded by sofas – ideal chill out area without removing oneself from the festivities. Dance floor area with adjoining outdoor decking area – absolutely perfect! The food – AMAZING – absolutely NOTHING left on plates at my table of 10! Don’t think I need say anymore! Had incredible night’s sleep (don’t drink, so not alcohol induced!) – put it down to the amazingly comfortable bed and crisp white bed linen. Breakfast the following morning – who thought poached eggs and home-made brown bread could taste so good!!! Well done Barnabrow you sure know how to host a Wedding celebration.’

Thank you – you very nice person, from all of the team at Barnabrow.

‘Off the beaten track, but within easy distance of Cork city, Barnabrow is modest about its charms, of which three are plenty.  A classic Irish farmhouse surrounded by lush greenery leads to a courtyard and separate stone-built banqueting space.  We loved the variety and abundance of accommodation on site.  In the heart of East Cork foodie country, Barnabrow more than holds its own’.

The ‘One Fab Day’ team came and inspected us last December – cold and miserable we were then.  We are looking much much nicer now, happier, healthier and enjoying the sunshine – why don’t you come down and inspect us too?
