County Arms

The staff were great from start to finish. We had a great day. All of our guests commented how diligent the staff were and everyone had a fabulous time!

To all the team in the County Arms, myself and Francis wish to commend and thank you all for the incredible organisation, professionalism, and communication with us before and on our Wedding Day. We felt so welcomed, accommodated, and comfortable in the knowledge that preparations for our big day were safe in the hands of Dee, Shannon and Moya and the rest of the Team in the County Arms in Birr. We also wish to thank Ciara who did our meal tasting with us and was absolutely excellent in her knowledge of the menu and recommendations, and to Conor who was so professional and acommodating to us on the top table on the day. Our guests all complimented the service staff and the most amazing meal from start to finish. From the portion sizes to the finest quality of Irish meats and servings of veg and potato there was no stone left unturned in the preparation and delivery of our meal. Thank you to chef Gerry and all in the kitchen that day.

As soon as we met Dee and her team, we knew the County Arms Hotel was the place for us. The whole journey from start to finish was amazing, the team really get invested in your day and everything detail, from small to large was just perfect. No task or query was an issue, everything we asked for given.

The wedding package has everything included from the moment you enter the reception to the residents bar late into the night. It make the lives of every couple so much easier when they do so much for us. Every single guest complemented the staff, service, food and over all day.

I would happily recommend the County Arms Hotel to all friends in the future who are planning their weddings.

A big thank you to Dee, Moya, Ciara and the rest of the team. A day we will never forget.

If you are engaged and thinking of booking the County Arms for your venue, just know they will help create the most magical and fun weekend of your life!

Myself and my husband had our wedding here on the Easter weekend, and everyone who attended said it was one of the best weddings they attended! No ask was too much from the team, and they were so attentive.

Every staff member is so lovely, and honestly couldn’t do enough to help us. I just wish we could go back to planning and having our wedding again with them!

The food was incredible, and the venue itself was just unreal. The venue itself is fantastic and there is so many places for gorgeous photos. It really is the most perfect wedding venue. We had our ceremony and our reception with the County Arms and everything was perfect.

Dee, Shannon, Moya, Conor, the servers, bar staff, reception , everyone really was absolutely brilliant. I have the most amazing memories from my wedding, I would love to do it all over again with them, and there wouldnt be a single thing I would change.

Thank you so much again guys, it was the best weekend of our lives xxx

You truly will not be disappointed if you choose County Arms Hotel for your wedding. From the first day we walked through the door, we knew that this was the venue for us and they made sure that our guests and us had the most fantastic day and night.

The service we received from every single person we dealt with from day one was top class. No ask was too big or too small and the staff are always going above and beyond to help ensure that everything runs smoothly leading up to and on the day itself.

We had our wedding at the County Arms and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful or impressed. From the moment we started planning, to feeling like royalty on our big day, the entire team went above and beyond to make everything perfect.

Leading up to the wedding, we felt completely looked after. The team made everything so easy and stress-free, and on the day itself, they made us feel so special. The venue was absolutely stunning – beautifully set up and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration.

The food was incredible – we’re still getting compliments from guests about how delicious everything was! And the staff? Simply amazing. So friendly, welcoming, and great craic throughout – they really added to the joy of the day.

The bridal suite was out of this world – we genuinely didn’t want the weekend to end. Every single detail was just flawless.

We can’t thank the County Arms enough for making our day so magical. We’ll treasure the memories forever and couldn’t recommend this venue more highly for anyone planning their wedding.

From the very first phone call everything was amazing. No complications, no stress exactly what every bride wants.

I stayed the night before the wedding with my 5 bridesmaids, from the moment we stepped foot inside the door of the hotel on the Friday evening everything was magical just like a fairy tale.
Shannon was excellent from the word go and the girls in accommodation fantastic!
Super fast response from everyone we spoke with nothing was complicated even the seating plans!!!!

Last but by me means least the food!!! I'm still full 4 weeks later. Super tasty and hot. The presecco was beautiful.

We honestly had the best day of our lives and have not even 1 thing we could say needs improving.

Thank you to all of the staff for an amazing day. Simply magical ❤️

From the moment we choose The County Arms as our wedding venue, Shannon and the team were nothing short of excellent. Not once did we feel under pressure or stressed and the whole process was done in such a calm, friendly and professional manner. It was almost like we became friends.. Shannon was always up for a chat about our other wedding planning bits and we had such a good laugh. The team made us feel so at ease on the day, we didn't once have to second guess if every plan we had was put into place. The staff serving us at dinner were so friendly and kind and couldn't do enough for us. When we were about to do our entrance walk into the ball room, the MC and Shannon put us both at complete ease seconds before opening the door to walk in, jsut a few short and simple words from them both and all out nerves were gone! Words can't describe how phenomenal the team were, if we were to do it all again, it would 100% be The County Arms. We can't wait to recommend this venue to our friends and family who will be getting married in the future! We cannot thank you enough x

From the moment we chose the County Arms as our wedding venue, we knew we had nothing to worry about. Every detail was handled with care. Every staff member worked so well together. Their coordination, communication and attention to detail on the day was second to none. They truly made us feel like our wedding was the event of the year and not just another wedding they were holding. As a venue it has everything. Not only were the gardens perfect for photos, there were beautiful rooms available to get stunning photos inside. We had frost, sun, rain and snow on our wedding day. So it was great they were able to cater for all the seasons. We will forever cherish the memories we have made here.

We can’t thank everyone at The County’s Arms enough. We have the most beautiful and magical wedding day. We just want to say a huge thanks to Shannon,Moyà and Conor and all the team at The County Arms.

From the minute we booked our wedding and the months leading up to the our big day any requests were met with a smile nothing was ever impossible, Everyone was so accommodating I can’t recommend The County Arms enough for your wedding.
A small thank you to all the staff who without our wedding day wouldn’t have been possible.

Myself and my husband had the best wedding we could have imagined. The staff at the county arms were nothing short of amazing! Every detail was attended to, and nothing was an issue. The staff are friendly, attentive to details, the service was fantastic and food was just to die for! Would highly recommend everyone to consider the County Arms as their wedding venue!

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the County Arms Hotel for providing such fantastic service on our wedding day. While we had briefly considered a beachfront wedding, my true wish was always to celebrate this special day at home in Co. Offaly—and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue.

The feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. Each bedroom was tailored perfectly to meet their needs, and the family rooms provided a wonderful experience for our younger family members, making their stay truly memorable. Even santa clause paid a visit 🎅

The quality of the food was exceptional, with so many of our guests commenting on the incredible dining experience. We were especially fortunate to work with Shannon and Maya—words cannot fully convey the gratitude we feel for their support. Their attention to detail and dedication were noticed by every single guest, and they truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

Thank you once again for helping to create such cherished memories—we couldn’t recommend the County Arms Hotel more highly!

We had the most amazing wedding day at the County Arms Hotel, Birr! Dee and Shannon, our wedding coordinators, were absolutely fantastic—they were so attentive and professional, making sure every detail was perfect. All of the staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was seamless, and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful they were.

The attention to detail throughout the day was exceptional, from the reception music to the beautiful ballroom to the flawless service.

The food was absolutely incredible—from the reception to the main meal to the evening food! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a more wonderful team to celebrate with. Highly recommended for anyone planning a wedding!

The waiting staff were second to none and nothing was too much for them espeically at the top table. The food was unbelievable so tasty, people are still talking about it.
I couldn't recommend the County Arms Hotel enough.

Thank you all so much

From the minute we booked our wedding Dee and the team couldn't have been more helpful. No question or request was too much. The lead up to the wedding was so smooth with loads of communication from the team to make sure all was going how we wanted it to. The day itself was absolutely fantastic with the food outstanding. The staff were so so accommodating and couldn't have done more for us or our guests to make the day special. We would highly recommend County Arms Hotel for a wedding.

We could not recommend everyone at the county arms enough, no matter what idea we came up with they helped us try and make it all possible. They were amazing from start to finish. Thanks to all the team for all their amazing hard work to make our day so special. We arrived on Friday and got married on Saturday the staff were so helpful. The new bridal suite is amazing looking and i was lucky enough to stay in it two nights was so much room and light for getting ready the next morning and for photos.

I got married in the County Arms in November 2024. It was the most perfect day all thanks to the effort put in by the team and the service that was provided to us. Our guests still talk about the amazing food that they had and how nice the staff were to everyone. We loved everything from the moment we arrived until we checked out the next day. Working with Dee and Shannon was a pleasure and they met every need we had and even went above and beyond on the day. I couldn’t recommend the County Arms enough for a wedding. You simply won’t be disappointed. Thanks so much again guys for making our day so perfect.

Thanks so much to Dee, Shannon, Niamh, Conor, Gerry and all the staff at the County Arms for an absolutely brilliant day and njght. We were made feel so welcome from day 1 and always made feel like our needs and questions were priority.
On the day the service was off top quality. All staff were so attentive and accommodating. The food was truly wonderful and the pig on the spit was a real hit with our guests.
The bridal suite is to be seen to be believed and allowed for some amazing photographs on the day.
Thanks again to all who made our wedding day so special.
Thomas & Sinéad

We couldn’t speak highly enough about County Arms Hotel for our wedding.
Dee, Shannon , Conor and all the team at the county arms thank you so much for yer amazing hard work to make our day so special.
The beautiful decor of the ceremony room , hallway and ballroom was amazing , the food was top class and the gardens are beautiful for photographs and the bridal suite was absolutely stunning.
The waiting staff were second to none and nothing was too much for them.

We highly recommend County Arms to any couple considering getting married for their venue, the service is 10/10 and making your dream wedding come true.

Thanks again to Dee , Shannon , Conor and all the team at the County Arms , we appreciate everything ye did for us on our special day.

The day we met Dee at the start of our planning, we knew we had to have our wedding in the County Arms. The whole team are so professional and they are experts at weddings. They made it so easy for us from providing their list of recommended suppliers to decorating the venue for us. No question was too small and no issue was too big for Dee and her team. The ceremony room was stunning, the gardens are so beautiful. The food was something else, our guests are still talking about the feast that they had. We can't recommend the County Arms enough.

We got married in September 2024, and we could not have planned or hoped for a better day and night, this was all made possible by the wonderful staff and team at the County Arms Hotel..From day one of our very first meeting with Dee and Barry,we went away knowing this was the place for us,They made us feel so welcome and at ease with their confidence and knowledge of what a wedding day means to a couple.throughout the build up to the wedding, nothing was too much hassle or ever a problem no matter what we asked,and this was all down to the pleasure of dealing with Dee. To say she knows her craft would be an understatement, she is incredible at what she does,and these are the reasons she is an award winning wedding venue organiser,and we could never thank her enough..On the day,everything went off amazingly,better than we could have ever imagined,This hotel and staff are true professionals in every way and the feedback from our guests just proved it.Everyone was singing their praises and fully complimentary of everything, from the venue,both indoors and outdoors,the facilities and top of the list was the amazing food which could not be faulted in any way.. Overall this is truly a top class wedding venue,and any future couples would be very lucky to have their wedding hosted by the wonderful County Arms Hotel.

From September 2023 when we booked our wedding we couldn’t fault anything from the service we received at the County Arms Hotel. Dee and Niamh were amazing with everything and helped us with any enquiries we had. The day before the wedding we had to drop over some bits for our day and we were given a room to drop all our stuff into and the staff sorted everything out for us, this was a massive help we didn’t have to do anything setting up. We had a warm welcome from Dee when we arrived at the hotel after our Ceremony with a glass of Prosecco and whilst we were getting our photos taken during the drinks reception a member of staff came outside and brought us out fresh ham and Turkey rolls. The meal was amazing and so professionally delivered, there is definitely no shortage of food and all our friends and family complimented the food which was great! Just for future couples I would make it clear about breakfast the next morning for the bride and groom maybe offer a room service option for the bride and groom as we had a minor issue getting breakfast the next morning as they were cleaning up breakfast when we came down which was possibly our own fault as we didn’t look into breakfast times or options ourselves. Again lots and lots of compliments about the breakfast from our friends and family that stayed in the hotel, majority of them being that it’s a menu based breakfast and not a buffet. More feedback from our family was the use of the swimming pool, they enjoyed that and especially our daughter and niece. Something small that we actually didn’t notice but our friends did was our date was wrong on our table numbers but that was nothing we noticed on the day so didn’t really mind. Would definitely recommend to any couple considering getting married at The County Arms hotel, it’s 10/10 service and definitely delivers a dream wedding day, from the gardens, the reception, the meal and of course the snack boxes in the residents bar (they were a big hit).

What can I say? I honestly do not have the words to express our gratitude to Dee, Alannah and every staff member.

From the menu tasting to the the weekend of the wedding, everything was just perfect. The Staff, the venue, the decor, the food, everything was immaculate and they honestly could not do enough for you.

We are so delighted we chose The County Arms Hotel as the venue for weekend. From Friday to Monday it was everything Devin could have dreamed of in a wedding, and as the groom, seeing how happy she was, really made it all the more special for me!

10/10 honestly is not enough.

It's a weekend we will never forget.
Dee in particular, you're a star!

The wonderful staff at The County Arms Hotel went above & beyond to make our wedding day extra special. They have an amazing team and certainly leave no stone unturned.
The attention to detail and professionalism has made our wedding day unforgettable.
Each & every guest complimented the amazing food served from the moment they walked through the doors at the beautiful reception, fabulous wedding meal, evening reception & right up to the snack boxes in the residents bar!
The service at both bars was brilliant & all staff were on the ball with no delays getting served.
The hotel & ballroom were all so beautifully decorated which added immensely to the already lovely atmosphere!
All guests who stayed overnight at the hotel complimented the fabulously decorated bedrooms & spoke so highly of the hearty & tasty breakfasts served the next morning.
The grounds & gardens at The County Arms Hotel is amazing & it is such a beautiful addition for couples to have the opportunity to take beautiful wedding photos on the grounds.
The team were all an absolute pleasure to work with & we cannot thank you all enough from the bottom of our hearts.

We recently celebrated our Wedding at The County Arms Hotel and from the get-go it did not disappoint. The staff were extremely friendly & ever so helpful and the food was unbelievable & plentiful. The hotel both inside & outside is exceptionally well maintained and the bedrooms & Bridal Suite were spotless. The two girls Dee & Niamh took care of everything for our small "Big Day" and left no stone unturned. No request/query
was too big or too small and they delivered every single time. We would have no hesitation in recommending The County Arms to anyone for any occasion big or small. A full 5 stars from us. Thank you.

We had our wedding reception in The County Arms last year. We had previously attended a wedding there so we knew the standard was high. Niamh and Dee were so helpful from the get-go. Nothing was an issue. Everything was stress free. Everyone who attended raved about the food and how well fed they were from the reception food right through to the half-time food during the dancing. All of the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. We would 100% recommend the County Arms to any couple!

Dee, Conor and the team were absolutely fantastic to deal with.
Every request/ query was responded to immediately .
The food and service on the wedding day and over the whole weekend was outstanding, the ballroom looked amazing.
The gardens were just stunning for photographs.
We could not fault this hotel and will be recommending it !

To our wedding co-ordinator Dee, Niamh and all the staff at the county arms, thank you.

The level of service throughout not only our wedding day but every time we had the pleasure of visiting the hotel was different class. From the bar staff, waiting staff, reception team and to all involved are an absolute credit to themselves and the county arms. You all really added to our day and made it even more unforgettable. We would like to name you all to personally thank yous but I'd run out of characters with the review!

The hospitality and food received is still being talked about and certainly was a highlight of the day for all of us.

Thanks again to you all.

Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. The variety and quality were top-notch, and the kitchen team clearly put a lot of thought and care into every plate. The portions were generous and even the hungriest of our farming family were satisfied!

The service on the day was impeccable. Everything ran smoothly, from the moment we arrived to leaving the following day. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the event. The staff made sure that the entire day was stress-free for us, allowing us to enjoy every moment. We truly felt like we were in safe hands, and that made all the difference.

As for the hotel itself, it was both comfortable, clean and charming! I always wanted a country feel to our wedding and The County Arms mixes classic country style with modern elegance. Our bridal suite was like something out of a fairy tale and my only wish would have been that we could have stayed longer! Our guests also all commented on how spacious and comfortable their guest rooms were. In particular, the family rooms were of the highest standard with quirky areas for the kids to play in!

The County Arms Hotel will always hold a special place in our hearts. It was the perfect venue for our wedding, and we are so grateful to the entire team for making our day everything we dreamed it would be. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, we cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had our wedding at the County Arms Hotel in May 2024. We absolutely fell in love with the venue from our first visit during a wedding showcase.

We recently had our wedding at County Arms Hotel. The venue itself is beautiful, and was just the perfect location for us. The staff were amazing as well! Every member of the team at the hotel was so helpful and friendly, but we have to say a special thank you to Niamh and Dee, who made the day extra special! Our day ran so smoothly, the food was delicious, the music arranged by the hotel was excellent and everyone had a great day. If you’re considering County Arms Hotel for your wedding we would highly recommend booking with them.

From start to finish we found everyone at the county arms so helpful. Always at the other end of the phone or an email! We had the best day

We got married in the County Arms on the 15th March 2024. We had the most amazing day anyone could ask for. I've often visited the County Arms for food over the last number of years and when we for engaged I just knew it was a must to view! So when the wedding showcase was advertised myself and hubby to be went to pay a visit. We were greeted by Barry and he was a pure gent. He was so friendly and offered us tea and treats while we chatted all things weddings! I was currently 8 months pregnant at the time and he made everything so stress-free to book. He also checked in with us throughout our wedding day, both the day before and after to make sure all was running smoothly! Thank you Barry!
Also, we would like to say a huge big thank you to Dee our wedding coordinator. Every email was answered promptly and anything we asked wasn't a problem. She was an absolute angel and always so friendly and approachable. Dee made sure to meet us the following morning to ask how everything went etc. It was such a nice touch! Also a big thank you to Niamh who also looked after us following up our emails. Thank you so much girls!
We met Gary the day before the wedding when dropping over our wedding bits and he made us feel so welcome. On our wedding day he made sure everything was running smoothly, he was on the ball organising any last minute decisions we'd to make i.e. choosing songs for walking into the ballroom and making sure we got our canapés and also making sure all the guests got their food at the same time! Thank you so much Gary!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the County Arms and it felt so personal and everyone is still raving about how amazing the day was, how tasty the food was and the fabulous gardens and rooms etc! We knew from our menu tasting evening that the guests and ourselves were in for a treat with all the food!

We can't wait to go back again to visit and enjoy the fab food and gardens. We will definitely be recommending the County Arms to our friends and family!
Thanks so much again!

Dee and Niamh were extremely helpful. Their recommendations were spot on and communication was first class. The whole day went so smoothly and we would 100% recommend the County Arms to couples.

Exceptional from a the first day we viewed to our big day . Would 100% recommend . The revenue ; the staff and food was amazing .

Beautiful hotel, professional service and the food was amazing

Excellent service. Great food.

We can't recommend County Arms Hotel Birr enough. Niamh and Dee were so helpful and accommodating and never tired of the endless questions and requests we had. The staff at the hotel were all so friendly and helpful too. The food was also amazing and our guests did not go hungry. The venue itself was beautiful and the gardens so picturesque. Would highly recommend as a wedding venue.

We couldn't speak higher of the service and quality the County Arms provided us with for both our wedding day and the time leading up to it. Dee & Niamh covered absolutely everything to such a high standard. The most compliments we received were to do with the food of course! From the arrivals food, the dinner, the evening buffet and even the food in the residents bar at 3am, everything tasted amazing and there was plenty of it too! But for us what made us realise we made the right decision by choosing the County Arms was the service Dee & Niamh provided. They took so much stress off us and took care of everything and more! We couldn't recommend the County Arms enough and are not surprised by all of the awards it wins for weddings based of our amazing experience! Thank you both for facilitating and organising one of the best day of our lives!

Myself and Ciar?n We would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff in the County Arms hotel, especially Dee & Niamh for being so easy to work with, for their quick replies to all our questions and making everything so simple for us.. We would also like to mention Dylan who was serving the top table he was absolutely brilliant.
From the moment we booked it until the next day after the wedding, we couldn't of asked for better. The food & drink all throughout the day was fantastic and everybody we meet is still talking about it. We would highly recommend the County Arms for a wedding.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish, everyone involved were so easy to deal with and accommodating, it was great to have such a relaxing and stress free experience on such an important day.

We had stayed in many hotels before our stay in the county arms and soon upon arrival we both just knew the county arms was the spot for us, the county arms were very accommodating as we had originally planned to marry on the 6/11/22 but had to postpone it to the following year both Dee and Niamh went above and beyond for myself and Hannah and no matter what we asked of them they went out of there way to help and accommodate us, I couldn't recommend the county arms Hotel enough and if you plan to get married look no further because you will be in trusted hands with both the ladies there. Both of them will be there to give ye the best recommendation of photographers/bands/blessors for a very reasonable price aswel. Thanks a million again to both Dee and Niamh and all the help along the way

Cannot fault anything, a brilliant place filled with brilliant people. Doing a great job keep up

Myself and Joe cannot thank all the staff especially Dee and Niamh for all their help leading up and to and on the day of the wedding. We always got a response so quickly and efficiently. Everyone talked for days after about the food and hospitality of all the staff on our day. The gardens are just fantastic for pictures and we can't wait to get them back and see them. We couldn't recommend the hotel enough from start to finish. Thankyou x

We got married in the County Arms on 16th of September 2023. It was honestly the best day of our lives. From our very first meeting with Dee we both left knowing that it was the perfect place for us to have our wedding. The support throughout from both Dee and Niamh was amazing. Nothing phased them and they had the answers to all of our questions no matter how big or small. On the day the food was top quality and everyone spoke so highly of it. We felt so special for the whole day, all of the staff looked after us and all of the guests so well. A special mention to David who served us for the meal he couldnt have looked after us any better. It is the perfect Wedding Venue and we would highly reccommend it to anyone who is on the hunt for their perfect wedding venue.

We honestly can't thank the County Arms enough for making our wedding day so special. They went above and beyond, our guests were so pleased with their experience and the food was outstanding. The grounds were beautiful even in the rain and they also had a lovely room in the hotel to take photos. Dee and Niamh were so lovely to deal with, and I could not recommend them enough. Thank you for such an amazing day.

Nothing

??????????
From our very first encounter with Dee and the team at the County Arms we knew we were in safe hands. The team can't do enough for us, and always go the extra mile.
A very special mention to Dee, who was amazing, she made the whole process seamless, we couldn't have asked for more.
Our family and friends are still talking about the food, which was next level and plenty of it.
The grounds and Georgian part of the Hotel makes for amazing picture opportunities which meant we got to spend so much more time with our guests on the day. We had the best experience and would highly recommend. We planned our wedding from London and Dee and the team were always at hand to answer any question and chat. Dealing with the team at the County Arms meant for a stress free experience

Ideal

The County Arms went above and beyond for our wedding! Everyone is talking about how great the food was and how stunning the grounds were. Dee made the planning so easy and helped us every step of the way. Any question we had was replied to instantly. The service was top class and everyone was looked after so well throughout the day. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough for your special day!

All we can say is wow!! From the day we set our wedding date at The County Arms we felt we were guided by the hand through every aspect of the planning of our wedding day. Following our initial meeting with Dee we booked every supplier she recommended rather than spending hours wasted researching we went with Dee's word and everything was just perfect. Niamh was amazing, so calm, so helpful and so professional even so catching our stray Jack Russell during the ceremony, I am originally from Birr but having our ceremony and reception at the county arms felt like we were getting married at an exclusive dream location that could have been in any country

Wow what can we say. Our day was perfect! From the day we booked the County Arms hotel with Niamh for our wedding I knew how amazing it would be. Nothing was an issue and any questions I had were resolved instantly and we were constantly made to feel at ease. Dee is fantastic and made sure the day ran smoothly.
Our guests are still talking about the food! There was so much and the quality was unreal.
We honestly couldn't rate The County Arms and all their staff any higher.
Thank you all for making our dream day utter perfection!

Mr & Mrs Hayes

What a day the food and and drinks were absolutely spot on but the staff are what made the day wonderful people especially Chloe we will be back for more

We got married on 2nd August 2023 in Ferbane and had our Wedding Reception at The County Arms afterwards. It was absolutely fabulous! We would not have changed a thing about the day or night. Most of the guests stayed for three nights at the hotel and it was excellent. The service and professionalism from The County Arms went above and beyond our expectations. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. A special shout out to Niamh, Dee, Michelle, Shannon, Claire, David, Liam, Aiden and Chloe, who were all fantastic but nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff.
Guests are still talking about the wedding and how brilliant it was. Many want a reunion next year! Comments from guests include, 'Best wedding ever!' 'It was OUTSTANDING!' 'This is better than my own wedding!' 'It was spectacular!'
We would recommend the County Arms for a Wedding Reception, without reservation!
Thank you to all involved!

A massive thanks to the County Arms for making our wedding day the most unforgettable day of our lives! To Dee our wedding Co Ordinator who went above and beyond for us on the lead up our special day and especially on the day when our dream of getting married in a nearby outdoor location was dashed by the torrential rain. Dee somehow last minute set up the most beautiful ceremony for us in a Georgian room in the hotel. It was more special than we could ever have dreamed of, and we couldn't be more grateful to her and the team for their outstanding work to pull it all together for us. It was more perfect than we could ever have imagined.

Our special day would not have been possible without the hard work, time, and expertise from Dee & all the team? We are so grateful to each & every one of you.

The Country Arms are an exceptional wedding venue & without any hesitation we highly recommend you book your wedding here.
We wouldn't change a thing!

A massive thanks to the County Arms for making our wedding day the most unforgettable day of our lives! Our ceremony and reception was even more perfect than we could ever have imagined.

Our special day would not have been possible without the hard work, time and expertise from Dee & all the team? We are so grateful to each & everyone of you.

The Country Arms are an exceptional wedding venue & without any hesitation we highly recommend you to book your wedding here.
We wouldn't change a thing ????

Me and my husband had an incredible wedding here and even the journey to it was nothing but exceptional. Our wedding coordinator Niamh and Dee were just amazing and involved in everything so you didn't feel like you had to do it on your own. The staff were absolutely 5 star and friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend this wedding venue for your big day

I think we cannot recommend County Arms Hotel and Niamh & Dee high enough.
These 2 ladies helped me make our dream come true or even beyond. Always open to any of our ideas and very helpful with the things we've never thought of.
We felt very special and very understood in every way.
At the day of our wedding everything went so smoothly and professionally we couldn't imagined this day more beautiful.
Even the day after the wedding Niamh greet us at reception which was very lovely.
We can't thank them enough for making our day so amazing.
All staff was just gorgeous.
I will recommend them to everyone, always.
THANK YOU !

We couldn't recommend the County Arms enough to any couple thinking of getting married there. The staff went above and beyond for us since the day we booked it and no ask was too big or too small for them. It has been over 5 weeks now and we are still hearing amazing compliments from all our guests about the hotel, the service and the amazing food they got on the night. They really know how to host a wedding and ensure everyone is looked after.

dee and niamh my wedding co ordinators was so helpful in every way possible they could not have done enough everything we asked for they helped in every way we had the most magical day and the grounds for photos were fabuolous, all my guests loved the hotel and they said the food was fabulous

We would like to thank the Management, especially Dee and Staff of the County Arms Hotel for their professionalism and attention to detail on the day of our wedding. Both ourselves and our guests had a very memorable time. I would highly recommend this wonderful hotel.

The County Arms in Birr is an exceptional wedding venue. The staff, led by Niamh and Dee, are helpful, professional, and attentive, making the planning process a breeze. Despite planning our wedding from England, the team provided fantastic recommendations for local photographers, DJs, hairdressers, and other vendors. Their attention to detail and willingness to help with any query we had made the experience stress-free. The value for the price was fantastic, and we couldn't have been happier with the service we received from the whole team. If you're planning a wedding in from anywhere in the British Isles, we highly recommend The County Arms.

Dee, Niamh and all the staff went above and beyond for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for or dreamed of a better day. Dee & Niamh were fab to deal with from the get go, and swiftly solved any of our concerns, no matter how big or how small. People raved about the service and are still talking about the amazing food, particularly those with dietary requirements. We were able to enjoy our wedding day to the full without thinking if this or that is done because the staff run the day so effortlessly. From the moment we met Dee and booked our wedding, to the moment we arrived on our big day we were made to feel so special and welcome, we can't thank the staff enough. We're just hoping some of our friends will have their wedding here so we can enjoy it as guests. Top class wedding venue.

We held our wedding at the County Arms Hotel in April and everyone had an amazing time. The hotel definitely had a homely feel and a lovely atmosphere for the time we spent there, which was down to the wonderful staff that went above and beyond for not just my husband and I, but every one of our guests. We booked the venue for two nights, and anything we needed to drop off before hand was not an issue, they even had a room for us to store our things. For the day after, we relaxed and enjoyed a private area for a barbecue which lead out to their gorgeous gardens, this give us the opportunity to set up some garden games for the kids (and the big kids) to keep entertained. Niamh and Dee are hands down superb at their job, they looked after us so well, they were so helpful and nothing was ever a problem to them. We have had so many compliments regarding the venue, food and the staff and lots looking to go back. The hotel is beautiful, lots of space and the gardens are just stunning to walk around. The hotel will always be a very special place to us, we cannot recommend it enough.

Our wedding day was made as perfect as it could be by the staff at the County Arms. From the first meeting we knew we were in safe hands, we couldn't have asked for anything more from Dee, Niamh and the team. The customer service excelled all our expectations. Our guests couldn't have had a better experience and all we've heard since the day was how amazing the food and service was! We couldn't have wished for our day to go any better, we were looked after so well all day! We can only hope we get to attend a wedding as quests in the future in the hotel to get to experience everything our guests did. I would recommend having your wedding in the County Arms, you would never regret it!

We had a brilliant time on our wedding day at the county arms, the staff were exceptional and the venue was everything we hoped for and the food was amazing! Thanks again for making our day so special and looking after us.

We were delighted with all aspects of our wedding at the County Arms. The lead up to our big day was handled professionally and reassuringly, with Dee, Niamh and staff on hand to guide us and answer any questions we had promptly.

Our guests are still talking about the top class food and hospitality that was on offer in the County Arms - the Arrivals turkey and ham rolls stand out in particular. Every detail imaginable was thought of - from arrivals food being put aside for us after our photographs being taken to snack boxes for residents at 3am!

We'd highly recommend the County Arms as a superb wedding venue - it is surely one of the best in Ireland.

We are just coming back down the earth after our wedding in the County Arms on February 10th. We always knew we wanted to have our reception in the County Arms having attended a wedding there a few years ago, however it exceeded all our expectations. From the outset, when we booked our wedding in November 21 we found Dee and the team to be hugely responsive and attentive, regularly updating us with room bookings and answering all our queries. On the day of the wedding the staff were all so friendly and attentive which is something that a lot of our guests have commented on. There is a lovely family atmosphere in the hotel that is palpable.
The food in the County Arms is second to none. The queue for the midnight feast spoke for itself and guests couldn't believe the volume and quality of food. Its amazing value for money and we've never been in another hotel that offers as much variety when it comes to food.
The grounds of the hotel are also fabulous and we got lovely photos in the garden and drawing room that we'll treasure forever. We'd recommend any couple to book the County Arms for their wedding. It will make for the best day.
Thanks so much to Dee and the team for making our day the unforgettable one it was.

From the very moment we met the team at the wedding showcase, we were put at ease and we were very impressed with what they had to offer as part of their wedding package. Once we had the date booked, it was an absolute please to deal with them with our queries and plans in preparation for our wedding day. There was never any issue with any requests that we had and the team were always willing to answer our questions and to reassure us that everything would go off as planned. The wedding day itself was perfection and our guests were blown away with the high quality and quantity of the food that was served throughout the day. Our guests also commented on the service from all the staff - a credit to the hotel. The grounds were perfect for photos as was the newly renovated room upstairs. The lighting during the winter/Christmas was fabulous. We cant recommend the County Arms enough - a top class wedding venue.

We celebrated our wedding in the County Arms back in December 2022 and we had the best day. A huge shout out and thanks to Dee, Barry, Dearbhla & Niamh who took such good care of us from the moment we booked our wedding right up until we left, they were not one bit obtrusive but always there if we needed them. The staff are amazing and incredibly hard working, they made sure that not just us but every one of our guests were looked after. I can't even keep up on the count of the amount of times our guests have complimented the food, nobody went away hungry! A massive thanks again to everybody for making our wedding day spectacular.

From the first phone call with Dee we knew we connected and she understood our unique plan. Dee helped us plan to put our idea of suprise wedding (which everyone thought is 30th birthday party) into place. We always wanted small, no fuss, intimate and romantic wedding but we didn't want the stress of everyone trying to get involved. County Arms is in the centre of small town where everyone knows everyone, however our secret was kept well till very last minute. We always felt like we were the priority, from little emails to food tasting and the big day itself.
County Arms provided us with the amazing food that everyone is still talking about, from little appetizers to the most amazing dinner, kitchen staff cooked for us to perfection.
Every room needed for our special day was perfect in every way, it was not traditional wedding but it was charming, original, unique and amazing.
We didn't put any pressure on anyone, having a suprise wedding other than Dee but she did everything we wanted and more, from bringing the cocktails to the bridal suite, to helping the groom with a set of braces to keep his trausers up, to helping pop the baloon with a secret message about the suprise wedding, to looking after the maid of honor baby when pictures were taken, it was like having Dee in 5 places at once.
The staff on the day were absolutely brilliant, they accommodated every last need, from the quality of function staff to the bar staff, where Ben did absolutely brilliant job. Having such a great place and the staff we could enjoy every minute of our day.
It was not planned to be a picture perfect wedding but it was this and more, with the help of County Arms, Dee, Niamh, Ben and the team.
Thank you.

It was truly an excellent and wonderful day, everything was layed out so well, the staff at the County Arms Hotel worked extremely hard to make it a perfect day, huge compliments to the chef the food was divine and plenty, wedding reception was beautiful, hotel was beautifully decorated, amazing backgrounds for beautiful photos to be taken. It was definitely top notch. We would truly recommend this hotel for every event. And massive Thank you to Dee and all her staff, who went above and beyond for us and our guests. It was a fantastic day and we will definitely be coming back.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would in every single aspect, the team at the county arms went above & beyond for us & every single guest could not stop talking about EVERYTHING from the second we landed till right into the early hours of the morning nothing was a problem nobody was ever left waiting on food or drinks the service was second to none, the food was OUTSTANDING, the service was top class I couldn't believe how quick everyone was eating & nearly everyone got their food at the same time (which was nearly 200 guests so that's pretty outstanding in itself) , from the second we booked here back in 2018, we had a few date changes between covid & babies & I honestly couldn't of been dealing with a better team, Dee & Niamh were always just the other side of the phone or email they went out of their way for us & I?d recommend the County Arms to EVERYONE, also Barry was excellent he couldn't of done more for us, I would only love to do the day all over again but I have to say it was absolutely the best day of my life the staff, the grounds for pictures (they have the most amazing arch and little house outside), the service, the food was just on another level, nobody was ever left waiting at the bar, they had music arranged from the second we entered till also the very early hours, all our guests have been absolutely raving about it sinice, I couldn't of asked for more, all I can say is if your even considering booking it then DO IT, you will 100% have the best day of yer lives

Thank you soo much to every single team member in the County Arms

Pilar & Darragh

The County Arms were extremely helpful when planning our wedding day. Their list of suppliers was exceptional and definitely worth going with anyone from the list. We didn't have to organise anything extra for the hotel as the County Arms had everything in terms of decoration and table plan. This made for a very stress free run up to the wedding. They were very accommodating and helped out in any way they could. The food was fantastic. Our wedding guests are still talking about it.

We had an absolutely brilliant day thanks to everyone involved right from the planning stage to the big day itself. Your professionalism and flexibility could not be matched and the manner in which Dee and all the staff guided Sheila and myself throughout the day left us with no worries and made it all a breeze!! An absolute cracking experience!!

Excellent service really enjoyed our day as did our guests

A very delayed but worthwhile review. From the minute we first went over to look at The County Arms Hotel everyone was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The day we went to view the hotel we were shown the beautiful hotel and surrounding grounds and could ask as many questions as we wanted and were given all the time in the world - we were also given soooo much food to taste and that what really sealed the deal for us! We had originally booked our wedding for 2021 but then Covid 19 hit and there was no issue with changing dates. Throughout our process Dee and Niamh were absolute godsends to deal with and there was never an issue. Dee even reminded us of lots of things that we needed to do and get done along the entire wedding planning process. We had our tasting night and we had so much food (&wine) that we were still stuffed coming down for breakfast the next morning. Dee met us again and went through every little detail in preparation for our big day. We were given as much time as we needed and nothing was an issue. All along the way they girls were always so prompt with their replies either by email or phone that we were never left waiting on an answer. There was no problem getting room lists etc at any point during our planning process. We dropped in stuff the day before the wedding and Dee and other staff helped us to unload and reassured us that all was in hand - and indeed it was! The morning of the wedding a room was arranged for my in-laws to have hair, make up and refreshments done. The girls made sure that the brdal party was fed adn ready on time and didn't let them have too much to drink the morning of the wedding either !! From our arrival with the red carpet till we rolled to bed in the early hours everything ran smoothly . The food was superb to say the least - we still have people raving to us about hpw good the food was. Then the midnight feast came out and even though nobody was hungry everyone queued up to get something - the pig n the spit and pancakes seemed to be the biggest hits and then came more food in the residents bar(definitely needed to help sober people up at this point!). The breakfast the next morning was super too. We had day two celebrations in The County Arms and the same story again - all ran so smoothly , honestly its like Dee and Niamh could be in 5 different place at once. Dee had organised the music for day 2 and they didn't disappoint either. When it came to settling the final bill there was no rush or pressure put on us in front of our guests and were given plenty of time to go through everything.
All in all an absolutely beautiful hotel, great staff, super food and absolute gems to deal with throughout the entire process - people are still talking about what an amazing wedding it was and most of that was down to The County Arms. Counldn't have been more helpful - worth their weight in gold...Would recommend The County Arms for everyone's wedding! - Thanks so much again for making our wedding day so special. - Breda & Martin Leacy

We had our wedding reception in the County Arms on the 17th of September 2022. It was the only venue we viewed and from the moment we were shown around by the amazing wedding co-ordinator Dee we knew we didn't need to look any further. Nothing was a problem and Dee went above and beyond for us, from moment we met with her all our queries were answered immediately and never a problem for Dee or her team. The day itself was more than we could have asked for, the rooms, service and food was outstanding along with special little touchs and extras added by Dee completely unexpected but topped off our day. Our guests both young and older are still talking about the fantastic day we had and are still complementing the food. They have a fantastic menu to choose from and we cant fault the hotel or staff in any little way. We can't wait to return to the hotel for our first anniversary and we are planning on making it a yearly visit. We have just gotten our professional photos are they are truly amazing thanks to the beautiful grounds and gardens of the County Arms. We highly recommend Dee and the team at the County Arms and wish we could do the day all over again.

We got married on the 22nd of august and it was the best day. The hotel and staff in the county arms hotel were amazing from start to finish they made our day so relaxed everyone talked about the food and staff. Dee was amazing to deal with there was never an issue with any thing
Incredible experience thank you so much

Absolutely amazing venue and team. During the planning nothing was ever an issue or too much effort. Dee, Niamh & Dervla we're all so professional and accommodating. We had 255 guests, it was the best day ever. Everyone is still talking about the food and how amazing the staff were, not to forget the bar staff who kept up with the crowd very well into the late hours. Couldn't recommend The County Arms enough!

We cannot recommend the County Arms enough for your Wedding. We had both our ceremony and reception in this beautiful hotel. The ceremony room was exactly what we were looking for, a large bright Georgian room. We had the reception on the terrace and took all our pictures in the beautiful gardens. The dinner was held in the large reception room and although we only had 95 people at the wedding the setup was perfect to ensure that the room was the ideal size for our party.
Dee, Niamh and all the staff were amazing. So professional, supportive and helpful. They made our day so easy and enjoyable. The food was fantastic and the service second-to-none. We requested a few changes to the menu and set up and nothing was ever a problem. We are so please that we decided to book the County Arms for our wedding and how everything turned out on the day.

I don't think there are enough words to describe how amazing this hotel is!
After being let down by another hotel 6 months before our wedding we contacted the County Arms. From that first email Dee was like someone we had known for years. So so helpful and accommodating. Once we drove down the drive way for our first meeting we couldn't believe that we hadnt visited here in the first place! Everything about the place is amazing! The staff,the food, the rooms,the gardens! Amazing!! People are still talking about it all a month later! The best decision we made for our wedding was choosing the County Arms! I need to give a massive thank you to Dee, Niamh,Shane,Dervla,Gary, Bernie and Ben! They all went above and beyond for me and my bridal party from the second we arrived to the second we left! We can't wait to go back and visit! If ye are still trying to choose a wedding venue then i 100% recommend just booking here, its the best thing you'll ever do.

Beautiful venue for a wedding classic

We recently got married in the county arms 15.07.2022. We would highly recommend The County Arms for your wedding day. From the moment we viewed it back in 2019 to now we cannot say enough about the hotel and particularly the staff. From our menu tasting, to every phone call, email and in the lead up to the wedding and the day itself we were treated like royalty. Deirdre Smyth is the best person ever to have on your side if you are planning a wedding. We had so little to do for the venue side of things she has it all covered and is worth her weight in gold. They go above and beyond to help and nothing is a problem. The beautiful gardens and facilities provided the perfect spot for all our photographs. On behalf of myself and my husband we would like to say a massive thanks to Dee, Barry, Dervla and all the team for helping us plan our special day. Because of you our day was the best day of our lives. Every guest that attended our wedding is praising the county arms, the food and the wonderful staff that work there. The food and the service is the best you will ever get. You all made our day so magical I would highly recommend the County Arms for anyone planning their wedding. We wish we could do it all over again

Our second time to visit as a wedding guest in 6 weeks, 5/5 first wedding for food,we found the food was not as good this time around unfortunately, bread rolls slightly stale and the veg plates were hastily removed as i was still eating my main course, the ice cream lacked flavour prob give the meal 2.5/3 out of 5.Two soup options fair play but no need really extra work for kitchen and waiting staff

I would highly recommend the county arms for your wedding venue. It's a fantastic spot and the staff are amazing. They go over and beyond to help you and they can't do enough for you. Everybody that attended our wedding is praising the county arms and the wonderful staff that work there. On behalf of myself and my husband we would like to say a big thank you to Deirdre smyth for helping us plan our special day only for her our wedding day wouldn't of being so magical without her. She's just so kind amazing and a wonderful person and is fantastic at her job she's such a lady to deal with we can't thank her enough for everything she did for us. The food and the service is the best you will ever get. The staff and Deirdre are just incredible. The county arms, the food, the service and Deirdre made our day so magical I would highly recommend the venue and staff for the most magical day of your life

We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding in the County Arms Hotel. The planning on the lead up to the wedding was made so simple with Deirdre and Niamh's help. They catered for all our needs and wants. All phonecalls and emails were responded to promptly. They really help ease any of our worries!

On the day of the wedding everything flowed so smoothly. All our guests raved about all the food which certainly left no-one hungry! From the rolls at the reception, the main meal, the afters food and even the snack box at the residence bar went down a treat! We personally loved the prawns for the starter of our main meal.

The hotel has recently refurbished the gardens and it was such an amazing place for ourselves and our guest to hangout in and get some nice photos! The kids really enjoyed the new playground area!

The main function room was decorated so beautifully! We were so proud to have our guests here.

For our wedding we had a day 2 of a tradition session with some lovely buffet style food in the Garden room. It helped created a more intimate environment.

We cannot speak highly enough of the service we received in the County Arms and would definitely recommend to any of our friends and family planning a wedding.

We experienced the best day in the County Arms in Birr. We couldn't bhavevasked for better for our guests and ourselves.
From the first day we met Dee, the Wedding Coordinator, we felt at ease and any ideas we shared were fully supported, Dee could not have done enough!!!
On the day our guests and ourselves were so well looked after, from beginning to end, the guests spoke so highly of the drinks reception, the food and music on arrival put everyone in the party spirit!
The dinner was fabulous, we were all very well looked after and everyone spoke so highly of the staff who were so courteous and couldn't do enough for us all.

We are sad our day is over, but so so happy we chose The County Arms in Birr as our reception destination, It was fantastic and we couldn't recommend bit enough!!!!

Huge thanks to Dee, Dearbhladh and all the staff who looked after us.

Miche?l & Yvonne.

Excellent

From the moment I drove up that driveway in the County Arms i knew I would be leaving with our wedding booked. Dee and the wedding team were fantastic to deal with nothing was to much to ask of them. The whole day and experience was amazing and ran like clock work. We had both our ceremony and reception in The County Arms what can we say amazing, the attention to detail the ceremony room the ballroom everything was exceptional. The walled garden is fantastic for pictures of your most memorable day. All the food was beautiful, all our guests are still talking about the carved meats and homemade sauce they were a big hit. We can't thank Dee and the team at the County Arms enough for making our day so memorable. We would highly recommend The County Arms and wish we could do it all over again.

We were absolutely delighted to have chosen The County Arms for our wedding, and had such a fantastic day!
From the get go Dee and team were super helpful, responsive and so easy to deal with.
Food is something that the County is known for, and our day was no different... gorgeous food and plenty of it! They made sure my mums dietary requirements were fully catered for, even making her a special dessert of choice!
Couldn't fault a thing, and would recommend The County Arms to other couples considering it for their Big Day

We would just like to thank Dee and all the County Arms Team in Birr Co. Offaly for such amazing wedding weekend. The food was tremendous and so flavoursome.We even had our favourite dessert which we both like "Tiramisu" which Chef done without hesitation and tasted beautiful..The team were outstanding in everything the done.. All the guests are still talking about the food when we arrived into the looby ,the midnight feasts,even the snackbox at 3 in the morning..The music in the bar after the wedding band and disco.. Only thing that we could do it in slow motion that we could enjoy it for longer..We would recommend anyone to have their wedding here simply amazing memories from walking in the door to walking out two days later "Savage"..Top marks to all the team.. Regards Eithne and Seamus

We both as Bride & Groom would love to take this opportunity to give some feedback on our experience on having our very special day in the County Arms Hotel. We would like to start by saying that we were not even asked to fill out a review but we did ask where the best place would be to reach out to let future couples know what they can expect at the County Arms.

Finding a Wedding venue is never an easy thing to do and is one of the biggest decisions to make for your special day! Well, for us we can say that choosing a venue was such a simple and straight forward process. We knew the high quality and standards of the County Arms previously due to spending time there over the previous weeks and months. So we decided to make a wedding enquiry once we were engaged. This was the first time we got to meet Dee and little did we know at the time just how crucial she would be in our life and day.

Dee and Niamh and the entire County Arms team went above and beyond what we could have ever expected to receive on our day. They ensured that as Bride and Groom we had little to be worried or stressed about and took the weight off our shoulders and took that on themselves while at the same time ensuring we felt that we were fully in control of what we wanted for our day.
Dee listened to us, she understood our needs based on this and helped to construct the most perfect day we could have asked for. I'd also like to point out that we had a relatively small wedding yet not once did we feel any less valued. In fact we can say with full certainty we felt loved and cared for and that the entire team wanted us to enjoy our day and would help out in any way they could to ensure that indeed was the case.

There isn't time to go into all the specifics but we had the most special day of our lives together and yes we had our family and friends together but we didn't feel like we were hosted by a business. We felt that all the staff were also guests sharing in our day working very hard to make it an incredible experience. Some other staff other than Dee and Niamh that really helped make our day was John, Tomek, Ben, Dearbhla, Peter, Gary and many more who's name unfortunately we couldn't remember.

We will certainly keep our relationship with the County Arms going forward and returning for our weekend breaks away to enjoy the friendly staff, amazing food, fantastic facilities and the beautiful grounds.

A massive thank you to all at the County Arms for your professional, friendly and caring relationship.

Warm regards
R&N

We had an amazing experience planning our wedding with Dee, Niamh & Dearbhla in the County Arms.
From the run up to the wedding to the big days itself, there was nothing that was too much and nothing they didn't think of to make our day an amazing experience for our family and friends.
As expected, the food and service was the highlight and talking point of the day. It blew everyone away! Something I don't think any other venue can rival.
I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending the Count my Arms to any couple trying to decide where to host their big day. Your guests will LOVE it.

To say Dee and Niamh couldn't do enough for us is an understatement. From our 1st meeting I knew we were in safe hands. They went over and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our day. I couldn't be happier with how things went. Our guests are still talking about the fantastic food they got along with how friendly was to them from staff.
For those who are considering The County Arms for their wedding ( or any celebration) I totally recommend them. All of the staff are professional, courtious, friendly and attentive. You will not regret booking here.

Where can I start, we booked our wedding in the county arms hotel in march 2018.
That's when we met the lovely dee Smith!
We absolutely loved the county arms hotel, we attended a wedding there and had said this will definitely be where we go!
And of course he popped the question and off we went!
When we went to view the hotel they were absolutely lovely to talk to, they even gave us some tasters to try there and then. The food is absolutely amazing, honestly the nicest food we have tasted, especially the duck springrolls , I never tasted anything like them! If you havent been to try the food you must go, even if not for a wedding just pop in and try the dinner it's fantastic.
We then got talking to dee and we just knew talking to her , we wanted it. The hotel itself is fantastic but my god meeting herself really topped it, you know when you meet someone and you just click straight off , well this was one of those moments. We couldnt wait to get moving.
We had booked with them to get married in august 2020. So the planning began the little chats every couple of months and catch ups checking in to hear all our plans. So a year before came and we got fully on board with planning BUT!! Of course that dreaded word.. covid .. hit with a bang.
We rescheduled for march 2021.. then april 2021.. then December 2021
Meanwhile inbetween having a new little baby just 8 weeks before , the 3rd and final wedding date .
Anyway dee was 100% while I was panicking, crying and running on literally no sleep what so ever she always called me with a positive attitude.
"Dont worry niamh I got this"
Always feeling absolutely brilliant after speaking to her. I must say only for dee , we both said , we definitely would have cancelled the wedding altogether because we just felt as if it was to much going on in such a short time. We went for our meal tasting when the baby was 4 weeks old and it was absolutely amazing with a complementary over night stay (which was well needed with a newborn at home) and we met dee the next morning to run through the day that we had planned.
(Us both still in a panic wondering, will we just cancle.)
She literally made everything for us that morning , we knew she was amazing but my god you wouldnt believe it, we came out with smiles from ear to ear thinking, this is fantastic , she literally had absolutely everything coverd from a to z. We literally had nothing to worry about.

So on the run up to wedding of course with having started to gather bits and Bob's since bloody 2018 , I rocked up with 2 large cases , 2 boxs and god knows what else so dee was delighted thinking wow she has her overnight case and all.. no no .. just a ball of decorations, from avengers toys, decs all random bits, she thought I was mad, but nonetheless, done an absolutely fantastic set up of a candy cart decorated in marvel theme, photo guest book, bathroom baskets , kids area , you would want to see what she done. It was amazing. I didnt know what anything in the case was, where it was going , but you can be sure dee found a spot for it.

I sat in bed while mikie done a night feed one night text dee at 5am, he just looked at me and said seriously are you actually emailing dee at 5am, but it was what was in my head at that time and I just knew well when I woke the next morning and looked at my phone all my questions would be answerd.

The county arms itself are amazing, they really go above and beyond for their couples.
They done all the decorating from the ceremony and the ball room and right down to giving meals to suit everyone. Michael's dad has Gall bladder issues and had to have no butter or fat throughout his dinner and they made sure to have him sorted and looked after. We had some celiacs and vegans also and they made sure to look after everyone. Michael's mam isnt one for a fancy dessert and they were willing to serve a bread and butter pudding for her. Just absolutely fantastic service.
All the staff are amazing and will really do absolutely anything you want or ask for.
I love some pornstar martinis and they made sure to go and buy some passion fruit so I could have my favourite coctail on the day.

I cannot express how amazing this woman truly is. She goes above on beyond for you and any couple that have her are very lucky! She will make your day absolutely amazing , she goes the extra mile to make it extra special.
The most amazing co-ordinator in the most amazing hotel. We couldnt have asked for better.
Niamh & Michael

We were at a family wedding and the hotel and staff were amazing the hotel/rooms were spotless, inviting and so comfortable. The food was absolutely gorgeous plentiful and the staff were so friendly, couldn't do enough for you and I honestly cannot wait to go back to the hotel to staff there.

Hi all,
I have to say a huge thank you to staff at county arms. I found the service and professionalism of everyone to be top class. Special mention to the barman who played for Coolderry in championship match and then came across the road to serve us.
Thanks again.

From the first time we went to visit the hotel right up until the morning after our wedding, the County Arms Hotel went above and beyond for us. Our wedding co-ordinator, Dee was a dream to work with. We changed our wedding date from 2020 to 2021 due to covid and nothing was a problem. We decided to have a small intimate wedding for our new date, Dee accommodated us with no question. We had our dinner in the maple room and we danced the night away in the drawing room. We had breakfast together the following morning in the drawing room which was so special and the best decision we made moving to the smaller rooms. Our family are still talking about the food, service and warm welcome shown to them and us all weekend. Our family were together throughout the weekend. It was such a special occasion. We can't recommend the County Arms Hotel enough. Dee is a lady and a credit to the hotel and she is just a pleasure to deal with.

From the moment we visited The County Arms to view it as a prospective venue for our wedding we were impressed. The wedding coordinator was very attentive and interested in how we saw how wedding day she listened to what we wanted. The hotel is very elegant and a beautiful venue for a wedding. Nothing was too much trouble any questions we had were answered from needing the name of a photographer to choosing our wedding menu. The care that was given to my elderly mum by Deirdre on the day of the wedding was amazing. Our wedding day was fabulous from start to finish. Deirdre had listened to what we wanted and delivered it in style. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed the day and talked about the food the service and the fabulous surroundings. Deirdre is an absolute star.

Planning a wedding is a task not taken on by the faint heartiest. I remember so clearly how our journey started with the excitement and eagerness to have everything so perfect, for the most important day in our lives so far. We already had moved our date with COVID twice. Unfortunately for our journey there was a major bump on the road. The day I remember so well, it began with stress rushing bridesmaids? dresses back to the bridesmaid shop as the wrong colour arrived. On the journey I was with my sister and we were finalising all final details as we were now 32 days out from the wedding. On this journey I realised I was not happy with my first hotel venue and my concerns were heightened with lack of communication from the wedding coordinator. In the heat of the moment, I got my sister to ring Birr County Arms, a venue I pass twice a day on my way to work and admire the hotel and well-maintained grounds.
The phone call began with being directed through to the wedding co-ordinator and I am still to this day so happy Dee, my angel answered the phone. I explained my story, I was looking for the date in September and she reviewed her 2022 calendar which I had to correct her that I wanted September 2021 in 32 days. There was not a hesitation. Within moments she said she had a meeting booked that day but if I came and met her at my earliest convenience, we could plan a few ideas and if I was happy to go ahead. From the moment I hung up the phone I felt relieved even though all our invites had gone out with my original venue. That evening I walked in to Birr with my sister we were seated and tea and scones were brought to us as Dee knew we had a stressful morning with the dresses. Dee bounced out from reception full of energy and smiling. We sat and talked about all options available and how to cater for the wedding with COVID and numbers.
Dee showed us around the venue and was very professional and reassuring. We sat and spoke about menus and options which I had originally planned. Once we left the venue, I felt reassured and I discussed it with my husband to be, how charming the new venue was and how accommodating Dee had been. We decided that night to go ahead with the County Arms Hotel in Birr. From that day forward Dee immediately took all stress from me. Unfortunately, due to Covid my brother-in-law was not able to make the wedding, however, I had a cunning plan in place to have a life size cut out of him on the day. Dee's humour was great and we joked I had no husband and it would be the cardboard cut-out on the day as she had not met my husband to be due to time and work commitments.
As organised as I thought I was, Dee was a step ahead and had great advice for us leading up to the day and on the day. Our bags were in the room the day before and all set up. On arrival on the day, we had a great laugh a live groom had arrived. Dee had placed the cardboard cut-out of my brother-in-law at the front door to greet all our guests. Even my mother-in-law walked by her own son at the door. We had great photos and laughs with the cardboard cut-out. We were hydrated and Dee took us aside for photos and told us to enjoy the moments we had together.
Dee had co-ordinated with the photographer to print photos and put them in frames and gifted them to our parents at the top table. This was a priceless gift for our parents with photos. We had a video link with my brother-in-law and there were a few technical difficulties which we seen Dee frantically trying to sort the video which got solved with some Dee charm. Every turn we made that evening Dee was there to assist. She mingled with the guests and made everyone feel comfortable even during these tough times. Dee is a natural people person. The next day it was her day off but she stopped by the hotel to wish us the best on our next journey in life. When we reminisce on the wedding laughing and joking with family and friends, Dee always gets mentioned as she was a vital part of the smooth running of the day.

Our wedding was during covid 19 when nos were limited to 100. The county arms and specifically Deirdre could not have done anymore for us during the lead up to the big day and the day itself. Deirdre would call to advise of any new guidelines that were announced and what we could do to make sure the day was just as special as we had anticipated. The ball room was fabulous and it didn't seem like our nos were only 100. The food was unbelievable as always and the service was second to none. We couldn't recommend the county arms enough as a wedding venue & the help we received from
Deride along our journey. Ethan & Emma

A beautiful venue with fantastic food and helpful staff.

We could not be happier with the service provided to us by the County Arms Hotel! As soon as we set foot in the venue we knew it was the place for us! Dee, the wedding coordinatior, made the whole wedding experience such a smooth process and was always at the end of the phone to help us with any questions we might have! The food throughout the day was amazing! We would highly recommend!

Cannot fault the hotel, we are married 4 months and when we speak to people they consistently mention how beautiful the food was. Michelle the wedding co-ordinator was outstanding, no stone left unturned. She was without question a diamond. Every little detail, on queue all the time.

"The team at the county Arms from start to finish were amazing, they listened to all our ideas and helped make our dream day a reality. As a family run hotel the attention to detail and personal interest they show in ensuring your day is faultless is beyond compare and guys the food is out of this world, I would not hesitate in recommending the County Arms Hotel Birr to anyone, 5 Stars!!

From the lead up to the day itself. The County Arms made the entire experience so enjoyable I trusted them with every aspect of the Wedding. The guests still cant stop talking about the food and the staff. They make sure it is the best party you and you're friends will have. Even the weather was good and it wouldn't surprise me if Barry, Conor and Michelle sorted that too! Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!

The County Arms Hotel was just unbelievable. Conor, Barry, Michelle and all the team gave us a wedding that only dreams are made of. From the very first time we stood inside the door of the County Arms their hospitality, professionalism and can-do attitude was just incredible. There was no request too big or too small. Among other things the food was just amazing, our guests are still talking about it. You guys surpassed every dream we had for a wedding. Thank you ''

The county arms were amazing for our wedding day. Everyone was so impressed with the food and the service. Its a family run business and you definitely get a homely feel from them and they really care about how the guests are enjoying the day. The day after the wedding our nieces and nephew were outside playing in the garden and Conor even brought them out an icecream. The Loughnane family were so thoughtful and helpful with every aspect of the wedding. We couldnt have asked for better!

Excellent service. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The food and all the trimmings offered was fantastic. The staff also worked seamlessly with any suppliers we had.

We are so happy we chose the County Arms for our wedding. They were a pleasure to deal with from day one. Nothing was a problem for them. Our guest are still talking about the meal and service. We could relax and enjoy our day knowing that everything was taken care of ! I would definitely recommend the County Arms to anyone getting married!

The service before the wedding was fantastic and they have an excellent wedding planner Michelle.
The food and service is absolutely outstanding in the hotel, it was the talk of the day! It's a family run hotel and Conor and Barry were there throughout our wedding day to ensure everything went seamlessly. I would highly recommend this venue to other couples!

The ease at which we organised our wedding venue and all that goes with it....the drinks reception, dinner itself, evening buffet, etc...it was all done to the highest standard and we had nothing to do only show up and enjoy.
This day last month Kieran and myself celebrated our wedding in style at the County Arms Hotel in Birr. To say that we had a ball is an understatement! From the first time we met Conor to discuss this hotel as a possible venue, to the moment we checked out the day after our wedding celebrations, we were blown away by the professionalism, the friendliness and the respect shown to us both by every member of staff we met along the way. The reception we received on the day itself was unreal; we felt like royalty and were treated like so....as were each and everyone of our 283 guests! The food (at all stages - reception, dinner, evening buffet and even the residents bar!) was superb and we have received such great feedback from all of our guests about how much they enjoyed it and how well fed they were! We had great craic on the day as we were able to enjoy the banter with all the staff and really felt at home. We would 200% recommend The County Arms as a wedding venue...we're just sorry it's all over for us but we look forward to celebrating friend's and family weddings in this fab hotel in the future. Thank you so much for making our "Big Day" an unbelievable experience...it's all the little things and details in between that really makes you unique and we genuinely couldn't have asked for better!

Everyone is still talking about the feed and the quality of the good. It was fabulous

We have to say the County Arms were absolutely brilliant for the day of our wedding. We cannot thank Barry, Connor and all the staff enough for everything they did for us on the day. They made organizing the whole day so easy, they provided me with brilliant ideas on how to make the day more personal to us and nothing was an issue for them. Everything was just organised without me having to do a thing. As for the food on the day, i could not praise it enough from beginning to end and everyone at the wedding couldn't comment enough on how good it was and on the quantity they got. We honestly could not fault one thing on the day and we would highly recommend the County Arms for any function as the standard of service was so high.Thank you so much for everything.

By far the best wedding band out there. They had everyone on the feet from the second song and it stayed like that until the very end. I have had many guests singing their praise and requesting their details. Shane is a real gentle man and its easy to see that he loves his job, he turely could not have done enough for us. Do not bother looking elsewhere, this is the band you need at your wedding, worth every penny and then some!

You managed to provide us with the most memorable day for our wedding, and our guests were blown away with the food, drink and hospitality.

An excellent wedding venue, We could not have asked for anything more from the staff at the County Arms. Our guests have raved about the exceptional food, the friendliness of staff and the quality of the hotel.
We had the best day and we owe a lot of thanks to Deirdre, Conor, Barry and Jason for making it a day to remember for us.
You will not be disappointed if you have your wedding at this hotel.

The staff went above and beyond for our wedding and the food was fantastic
We loved everything about our wedding reception in The County Arms Hotel. Conor, Barry and Deirdre made the planning and build up so stress free and enjoyable. The staff working on the night were fantastic. The food and venue were fabulous. We would definitely recommend this hotel to other couples planning their big day.

From the beginning, Conor and his crew made us feel at home away from home.
I hope that this gentleman never loses his hospitality and professionalism. It obviously reflects from his staff.
Thank you to the Loughnane Family, wedding crew and staff for giving me and my bride such amazing day.
I would highly recommend this venue to any new weds

A wonderful experience from start to finish!

Deirdre and the staff made our dream wedding plans come true. From the day we booked back in 2016 until our wedding day in June they were constantly in touch and Deirdre especially helped me with ideas and putting aspects of the day I wanted into action. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the day and night. I always knew I wanted my wedding at the county arms and was astounded with how it turned out. 10/10 and I have and will recommend them to anyone looking for a hotel that gives 100% commitment.Their attention to detail really makes a brides dreams come true.

Personal relationship with staff meant we felt that they cared about making our day as special as possible. The standard and quality of food was super.
The staff at the County Arms Hotel Birr were an absolute pleasure to deal with. From the managers to the waiters who helped us choose our wedding menu and all the staff we met along the way, everyone made our experience a really positive one. The garden was just beautiful for our Summer wedding and we got some beautiful photographs without having to leave the hotel grounds. Our family and guests are still raving about the fabulous food served on our wedding day! We are so grateful for all the help and advice we received from everyone at the County Arms Hotel. Mr. & Mrs.Bermingham.????

We had an amazing special day in the County Arms, Conor/Barry and team were amazing, always happy to help and welcome ideas.
The food was out of his world, our guests still talk about it, plenty of it and even seconds. We would recommend the lamb shank on the menu, it was the best decision we made and it was the biggest choice of the day!
The exterior and interior decor is beautifully designed, modern but still a lovely georgian feel about the building, especially the old part and bridal suites. You will be spoilt for choice.

The only downfall on the day was the mic at the speeches, it was very disturbed and took the young mc a good few minutes to come to my dads aid in the middle of his speech, it put him off. Our entrance song was down so low that we walked in with no music which was very disappointing as we had spent time editing and merging 2 songs together and had it timed to perfection.


One last thing was the amazing evening buffet, its pricey but its so worth it, what an amazing service and spread, our guests were wowed!!
Only downfall was that the left overs were all taken away, it would have been good to pop the pittas and nibbles out on tables when clearing as our guests got hungry later on after all the dancing!

If you want something modern yet traditional with amazingly tasty food, then check it out, you wont be disappointed.

The most perfectly ideal spot for a wedding whether you are from the midlands or thinking of travelling for your big day. With neither of us having attended a wedding here previously we were taking a chance on our gut feeling that we got the minute we walked into this hotel. Everything was fantastic on the day of the wedding. Their staff are excellent attending to the need of everyone, nothing was too much for them, from the bar staff to the restaurant staff, reception and Conor, Deirdre and Grainne, they were all fantastic. We really appreciated all the little things including looking after our families so well and especially those with children. We spent "day 2" of our wedding here too and we were still getting treated with first class care and attention. As for the food all weekend, UNBELIEVABLE- our friends and family are still talking about it. We picked a mighty spot and couldn't be happier.

The food and the relaxed atmosphere , the staff where helpful even going to bridal suite to get my fur cape
We had our wedding here in January 2018. The hotel was amazing the food was outstanding as was the service. Conor and Barry along with the wedding co-ordinaters Grainne and Deirdre made our day run super smooth. We had an amazing time as did all our guests. Thanks so much for everything. Trish & David

Our guests were made to feel so welcome by the fantastic staff at County Arms. Everyone was do well looked after which took so much pressure off Tommy and I. Our stay in the honeymoon suite and full Irish breakfast the following morning was fantastic! Thank you so much.
Tommy and I didn't get the opportunity to personally thank Conor and Barry for their excellent hospitality and for looking after our wedding party so well. Understandly, Conor and Barry were up all night and early hours of the morning working to look after us and our wedding party. Tommy and I will plan a trip out to County Arms to thank Willy, Conor, Barry and staff in person.

Great time had by all guests bride and groom very happy couldn't fault this venue lived up to all the promise 10/10 ????

Couldnbt thank Conor enough for all he done for us on the lead up to the wedding and especially on the wedding day itself he was just super all my family are still talking about his professionalism, the way in which he treated both myself and Brian on the day and each and every guest for that matter nothing was a problem... the ballroom itself just looked absolutely stunning the attention to detail was 2nd to none, we both cannot thank u enough for all your hard work.

Conor and Barry were extremely attentive to the bride and groom all day. Went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.
The County Arms were brilliant in the run up to our wedding. I had one meeting with Barry for half an hour before the wedding and everything I asked for happened on the day. Grainne in the office was so patient with organising accommodation and confirming little details. Conor met me at the door and went into Birr town to get me something that I needed which was a major inconvenience for him but greatly appreciated by me. He also appeared with an ice cream during the afters food when I was too busy talking to get to the buffet. It's easy to forget that the County Arms have so many weddings going on every week and month because when you deal with them they are so attentive to your needs and eager to put in place what you want on your big day that you forget they are dealing with so many other couples at the same time. You always feel like you're their top priority.
I'm so happy we made the choice we did to go with the County Arms. We were so happy with how the day went.

Our wedding was magical! The team in the County Arms especially Conor were amazing. The service on the day, the food and the attention to detail was top class. We can describe it simply as a fairy tale!

Absolutely unbelievable! From first meeting to check out after our wedding everything was 5 star. I wouldn't know where to begin, all our guests were blown away with the food and service throughout the day. Staff are amazing and couldn't do enough for us.

We had our wedding here over October Bank Holiday weekend and from the moment we met with Barry Loughnane to view the hotel we knew we had found the ideal venue for our big day. Our wedding co-ordinator, Sharon Conneely, kept in contact with us throughout and effortlessly oversaw every detail of our wedding, allowing us to enjoy the happiest day of our lives without any stress whatsoever. For us, it was essential that our guests be well fed. We invited guests from every corner of the country (and beyond) and as each guest arrived they were met with a warm welcome and hot food that was greatly appreciated. The food was truly amazing and many of our guests still comment on how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. It goes without saying that the main meal was excellent, but a personal highlight was the midnight feast. The feast included suckling pig, curry, crepes, ice cream and more served up by the impeccably attired County Arms team. The hotel is sumptuously decorated and the garden provided an elegant backdrop to our wedding photographs. We would recommend the County Arms to any couple without hesitation and sincerely want to thank Barry, Conor and Sharon for making our wedding day everything we ever could have wished for.

Super Civil Ceremony set up, the room was very intimate. Food and service on the day was excellent throughout and no ask was too big. Great setting on the grounds for afternoon and evening photographs

Myself and my husband had our reception at the country arms on the 6th October. I cannot praise the hotel and staff enough for their help leading up to the day and on the day itself. Sharon was wonderful in helping me with all my little worries and Barry and staff were brilliant on the day. If I could do it all again I wouldnt change a thing.

Lisa and Brian Bracken

The moment we drove into the county arms we knew it was the place for our wedding. we had visited 5 other venues before the county arms and none of them had the warm feel we got here. From our first visit to our last we were made feel at home. A wedding is a big investment and if i could do it over again i wouldn't change a thing. The county arms do everything so well from the food to the gardens to the staff to the ball room finishes. You could pick up the phone and ring Barry and Conor at anytime and anything they could do to help you they did. Both my self and Jessica were so happy with the day and it just makes it better when all our guest tell us how wonderful they found the venue too. hands down the best wedding venue in Ireland in my opinion

I cannot recommend the County Arms Hotel highly enough from our very first meeting to our wedding day Sharon and Barry we're just so helpful to us and took so much pressure off us giving little pieces of advice which at the time seemed small but on the day were so important. The food was fantastic from start to finish our guests are still talking about how good it was. The venue itself stunning the ballroom is an absolute credit to them it's beautiful. We had a rainy wedding day but the upstairs of the original part of the hotel was perfect with a beautiful hallway and drawing room with a fire lighting we had some gorgeous photos taken it made no difference that we couldn't go outside. I wish Sharon and all of the staff every success for the future and would love to see ye win this award you are so deserving! I wish We have our day all over again!

They say the best day of your life is the day you get married. For Noel & I this was the case. Noel & I got married in the County Arms Hotel, Birr on the 27th August 2016. We had quite a short period of time to organise our wedding, 6 months to be exact. I can't give enough praise to Barry & Conor Loughnane of the County Arms Hotel for all they wonderful help leading up the our Big Day and on the day of our Wedding.

The County Arms provided an outstanding service on our wedding day. They were available from the moment we arrived until early the next morning when the last of our guests retired. People are still talking about the food which was scrumptious could recommend them enough.

I found the county arms Birr a fantastic hotel and the staff were so helpful and the managers couldn't do enough for us and their wedding coordinator was so helpful and couldn't do enough for us

When we first booked this venue the responsiveness was slow, this was an issue as we live in Canada and really relied on emails etc as a form of communication with the time difference. When Sharon took over this got a whole lot better.
On the day the service was amazing and the staff were top class, very friendly and efficient. As the bride, my hand was never empty with my champagne/wine constantly topped up. The food was amazing and all the guests still comment on how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The breakfast staff were amazing also, sometimes working split shift and still keeping up the quality of service.
The staff and management bent over backwards to accommodate us and any requests we had.
We would highly recommend this as not only the best wedding venue in the midlands but a great option for a weekend getaway also.
The beautiful gardens and picturesque town it is located in just adds the icing to the cake!!

We got married in the County Arms hotel last year and from the moment we booked our wedding I knew we had nothing to worry about. Sharon and Conor and their team are so professional and made the whole experience such a positive one. I would highly recommend the County Arms to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

We had the best day of our lives on 01.01.16. The staff at the County Arms couldnt have been more helpful from the day we booked the venue. Conor and Barry are absolute professionals and went above and beyond ensuring everything was perfect. Our guests are still talking about how excellent the food was. it is a top class venue for your wedding and would highly recommend it.

I cannot recommend The County Arms enough. We had our wedding here on the 10th July 2015. Managers Connor and Barry are super relaxed and after meeting with them for our meal tasting I knew deep down once we got to their hotel they would take charge and have things run smoothly. And that they did. They are so professional in there work and accommodated our relaxed wedding. The staff is a credit to the hotel and are really the making of it from service staff to bar staff to residents bar staff. Day went out of their way to do anything not only for us the bride and groom, but also heard it back from some elderly guests who attended . The one thing I'll say tops this hotel in my book is : there was 3 wedding here the weekend of ours thurs /fri and Saturday but Connor and Barry make you feel like your the only wedding that's been dare for the last 3 months. The food is second to none. Thanks to the County Arms, all our friends are asking that we have a 1 year anniversary next year and do it all over again because it was so good. Little tip (go on Connor recommendations wen you first meet, he knows wat he's talking about and gave us the name of a great band that had the floor full from the first dance)

Would highly recommend The County Arms Hotel for a wedding. Conor, Barry and all the staff were so helpful nothing was too much trouble. Food was outstanding.

If u want a wedding that will blow your guests away you have to check out the County Arms Hotel. This establishment prides itself on giving guests the ultimate wedding experience and rightly so.
The food was out of this world, and plentyfull throughout the whole day, right through to the small hours! Each of the managers were so helpful and accommodating in every aspect, from planning, the day itself and even in the days after.
On the day I felt like a princess and that was purely down to the staff, they couldn't do enough for us.
Choosing the County Arms Hotel was the best decision we made for our big day and the memories that hotel now holds for me and my family will b cherished forever.

The County Arms offer a wedding which from start to finish makes you feel like a celebrity couple. The food is fantastic , the staff are amazing and no matter what happens on the day it goes off without a hitch because of the professionalism of the staff. I would highly recommend the County Arms hotel to anyone on their special day !

Myself and my partner had our Civil Partnership at the wonderful County Arms Hotel on the 19th of September 2013. From the moment that we booked our special day with County Arms we experienced nothing but a sheer professional and fantastic service from every single staff member sharon connelly our wedding co-ordinator was amazing as she took all the stress and pressure away from us. Every aspect of the planning right up to the day was was an enjoyable stress free experience. We were blessed to have our special day at THE most wonderful Hotel.

We had our wedding reception in the County Arms Hotel in July last year. Conor and the staff made our day very special, giving us everything we asked for and more. The attention to detail and special treatment that we recieved made our day, using the dining room upstairs and then the ballroom for evening part worked out perfectly.Thanks again to Conor, the Loughnane family and staff.

We had our wedding reception in The County Arms Hotel and have nothing but praise for the hotel, staff and facilities. From the first day we met with Conor and Barry to the big day itself, we were always welcomed and looked after so well. Our wedding day was so enjoyable; the ballroom looked amazing, the food was delicious and the all the staff were excellent. Our relatives are still talking about the evening buffet and the surprise ice-cream cones went down a treat with young and old. Thank you all for making our day so memorable.

I held wedding reception in the county arms three years ago in augest. I found this family run hotel ensured my reception was expertly delivered to my individual requirments. Their attention to detail was excellent. The attention my guests recieved was first class, for this I cannot thank both the loughnanes and their staff enough for making my special day even more special. Thank you xx

We were Married in the County Arms last August and we just cant praise the Loughnane family and staff enough especially Connar and Barry, they went above and beyond to make out day very special.

We had our wedding at The County Arms in June 2008. I can't say enough positive things about the Loughnane family and their staff. They really went the extra mile to make our day one to remember, even recording our speeches and bringing them over to my father in law, who was sick in hospital at the time, so he could listen to them. All our guests talked about how much they enjoyed our wedding day, and a lot of that was down to the hard work of the staff in the hotel that day, and their attention to detail. We have so many happy memories of our wedding day in the County Arms Hotel.

We were married in the County Arms Hotel last October. It was the most perfect day, the food, service, staff and management went out of there way to make sure it would be a day to cherish for the rest of our lives. Thanks to the staff and the Loughnane family xxxx
