Fernhill Hotel & Estate

We are incredibly lucky to have Fernhill House & Estate on our doorstep - a great hotel with a big reputation. From the moment we booked our wedding date to the morning after our wedding celebrations, everything was exceptional. From the outset, nothing was a problem.

The O’Neill family, Ellie, Laura & all the team are so responsive and professional. Their attention to detail and service is second to none.

The food was outstanding - from the canapés/sandwiches at our drinks reception to the main meal, evening food and breakfast, everything was so fresh and delicious. Our guests are still talking about it!

The bridal suite and guests' rooms are fabulous. It was a real treat for everyone who stayed at Fernhill.

We would love to do it all over & would definitely book Fernhill House and Estate again.

Wow, where do I even begin…

Fernhill House Hotel for us was absolutely everything we wanted for our wedding day and more from the second we first viewed the venue. As soon as we made contact with Fernhill, we knew by the welcome we received, that this venue was going to be amazing and as soon as we met the wedding planning team and saw the venue in person, it exceeded all of our expectations.
Ellie and Laura were unbelievably accommodating and flexible, which meant so much to us as we were planning our wedding from across the water, with two small children in tow, so all of our visits, Ellie ensured were tailored around dates that suited us best, which we couldn’t be more grateful for.
The lead up to the day was so smooth as everything was very well communicated from the bookings team at Fernhill and the wedding planning team, and they responded to any queries we had, literally instantly. They all made my husband and I feel like everything was always under control and it was!
The facilities at the venue are out of this world. The bridal prep lounge is the oat amazing suite I’ve ever stepped foot in. It was beyond perfect for all our needs on the morning of. Everything we needed was there, so much space that no one was bumping into one another, everything was neatly laid out and presented so beautifully, it was the perfect start to my wedding day. My bridal party thoroughly enjoyed their morning there too!
Between Ellie and Laura, the morning ran so smoothly. We had an issue with the florist turning up late and Laura made this issue literally seem like it never even happened. She coordinated with my maid of honour and they ensured I didn’t know a thing so I didn’t stress, and Laura physically carried all of the flowers herself to get them to both the groom and bridal parties on time for the ceremony, making sure we had everything we needed without a fuss.
I felt like I was in the best hands throughout the whole experience and on the day, we were looked after like royalty, everyone treated us and our guests with so much care and there was never an ounce of stress felt throughout the whole day. The food was spectacular, the marquee was honestly magical, the service was next level and the rooms were all stunning.
Everyone who attended our wedding day has expressed how much they adored our wedding venue and day. It was the most magical day of our lives, which wouldn’t have been what it was without the fantastic team at Fernhill house hotel and gardens providing the most amazing service and venue for us and our guests on the biggest day of our lives. Thank you to all at Fernhill.

Mr and Mrs O’Mahony

If you’re thinking about booking your wedding at Fernhill House Hotel & Gardens, don’t even give it a second thought — just book it.

From start to finish, the experience was absolutely incredible. The service, care, and attention to detail were off the charts. Every single member of staff was amazing, and it’s clear they genuinely care about giving every couple the best possible experience.

Ellie was especially incredible to deal with. She was kind, warm, friendly, and so helpful throughout — she honestly couldn’t have done enough for us and was exceptional from start to finish.

The food was also outstanding. So many of our guests commented on how incredible it was and how much they enjoyed it.

We had the absolute best time at Fernhill, and the only sad part is that we don’t get to do it all over again.

A huge thank you to all the staff — you made us feel so welcomed and so special, and we will never forget our experience there.

We got Married in Fernhill in April and it really was the most amazing day.

The food was absolutely outstanding and was so prompt all guests were commenting on it all night.

The staff were amazing and so attentive. Nothing was too much. Ellie the wedding coordinator was a pleasure to deal with and really did everything to make our day unique and memorable. Thanks so much to Ellie, Neil and all staff at Fernhill.

This venue was the absolute perfect setting for our wedding. From the very beginning, every detail was handled seamlessly, leaving us with nothing to worry about. Ellie was truly incredible; she had every single base covered and her expertise allowed us to feel completely relaxed throughout the entire process.
The Glass House reception area was a stunning backdrop for the speeches, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the atmosphere. We then transitioned to the dining hall, which was perfectly arranged for a five-star meal that exceeded all expectations. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of the night, Ellie’s dedication and support were second to none. I would highly recommend to any couples considering Fernhill.

We got married here last weekend and honestly all I can say is spectacular. We were so incredibly well looked after and our two boys had the best time too! All the guests were raving about the rooms, and the food was just so so good too. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, especially Ellie who really did go above and beyond - communication was always so easy with the venue. Really cannot recommend more, thanks so much to everyone at Fernhill we are so grateful!

We got married in Fernhill on New Year’s Eve 2025 and I can’t even put into words how amazing it was! From the moment we got engaged we knew it had to be Fernhill!! When we met Ellie and Neil we just knew how well we were going to be looked after and they went above and beyond our wildest expectations! No request was too big or small. From our 7am start in the amazing bridal styling lounge to our 4am sing song with Michael in the residents bar.. we wouldn’t have changed a thing! I also want to mention Laura who I met the day before when we dropped off our bits and pieces. She was with us the entire Wedding Day and I don’t know what we would have done without her. Ellie and Laura are the absolute dream team! They kept me calm before walking up the aisle in the amazing new ceremony space. I could keep writing about how amazing everyone is and how amazing the venue is but their reputation speaks volumes. I can’t recommend them enough!! There’s a reason they are winning so many awards! And also our Wedding guests can’t stop raving about the food! Just wow! Thank you for everything guys. We can’t wait to go back already! Lots of love, Ross & Lauren xx

When we decided we were getting married we both knew our reception was going to be in Fernhill House Hotel Clonakilty. The reception we got from the beginning right up to the very end was outstanding. We met Neil first and then Ellie -The wedding coordinator . We were made feel so relaxed and the communication was second to none from start to finish.We didn’t have to worry about anything for our wedding day. When we arrived at Fernhill on our wedding day we were greeted with the warmest of welcomes and handed a glass of champagne. The food was outstanding people are still talking about it. The lights and decorations were out of this world and the friendleness of all the staff we will never forget. We highly recommend Fernhill House Hotel you won’t be disappointed.

We got married in Fernhill on December 19th, 2025, and from the moment we viewed the hotel, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. Throughout the planning process, Ellie and the entire team were exceptional — always supportive, attentive and nothing was ever too much trouble.

Our wedding day was absolutely fantastic in every way! Each member of staff was warm, professional, and accommodating from start to finish. The drinks reception was a real highlight of the day, with the beautiful Christmas decorations creating a wonderful atmosphere. We are still receiving compliments about the outstanding food and exceptional service. The ballroom looked absolutely stunning, and the residents’ bar was enjoyed by many of our guests well into the early hours. The bedrooms and breakfast were also fabulous and were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who stayed.

A huge thank you to the O’Neill family, Ellie, and all of the incredible staff at Fernhill — you genuinely made our wedding day so special. The photo samples we’ve received, both inside the hotel and in the Night Garden, are absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for everything. We would highly recommend Fernhill to anyone considering it as a wedding venue.

We had our wedding at Fernhill House Hotel on 13th December 2025 and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Fernhill were a dream to deal with — so accommodating, organised, and genuinely lovely throughout the whole process.
A huge thank you to our wedding coordinator Ellie, manager Neil, and all the brilliant staff who went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Nothing was too much trouble.
The venue itself is stunning, the food was beautiful, and the Christmas décor was gorgeous, creating such a warm and magical atmosphere. We couldn’t recommend Fernhill House Hotel highly enough — it truly exceeded all our expectations - Cian & Emma.

We got married at Fernhill House & Gardens on December 5th, 2025, and we honestly couldn’t have chosen a better venue. From start to finish, everything was exceptional.

The food was outstanding, the service was seamless, and every single member of staff was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the level of care and attention we received made the whole experience completely stress-free and truly special.

A huge thank you to all the team, the O’Neill family, our wonderful Wedding Co-Ordinator Ellie, and Duty Manager Brian. Their professionalism, warmth, and dedication were second to none and made our day run perfectly.

We are so grateful to everyone involved and would highly recommend Fernhill House & Gardens to any couple considering it for their wedding, an exceptional venue with an exceptional team.

We could not have asked for a better wedding day! Everything from start to finish was absolutely flawless, all the stress was taken out of the day and we were able to thoroughly enjoy every minute!

Every single detail was thought of, from the moment we requested a look around. Ann and later Ellie were fantastic to deal with, nothing was too much trouble and on the day, the staff were outstanding across everything, ceremony, preparations, meal, etc. A huge thank you to Ellie and the team!

I don't even know where to start when it comes to Fernhill.

From the very first day we walked in there, over 2 years ago now, we just knew it was the place for us. From the first moment we met Ann to then working with Ellie, everything was so easy and seamless. After leaving that first meeting, we knew exactly what we were getting due to their wide range of packages, but we also had the flexibility to suit them to our needs and wants. They couldn't have made that more easy and it was something that stood out with regards to this venue. In the lead up Ellie was there to respond to any email or call, and was so helpful in terms of advice and recommendations.

Getting on to the day of the wedding... WOW! We really could not have imagined how incredible everything would be from start to finish. Lots of our guests travelled from quite the distance and to this day can't say enough about the venue. Fernhill quite literally have their wedding routine down to a fine art. Somebody asked me after 'How did you know or get time to tell the venue what to do next?' and the honest answer is I did not have to think about that once. They are so professional and exceptional at what they do, the whole day ran on their experience and I did not have to worry about anything.

The food, drinks and service was exceptional. From drink top ups, ample food, having an onsite transport service so guests don't have to walk from the Garden Fernery to the main reception, to simply having an umbrella on hand to walk somebody to the door, they have everything you could possibly think of to enhance guest experience.

I will be forever grateful to Fernhill for making our wedding day the best day of our lives, and I look forward to visiting there again soon!

Our experience at Fernhill was nothing short of incredible for our wedding on October 11th, 2025.

We had our ceremony in the recently opened Fernery, which is a stunning space and such a lovely addition to the hotel. We also had our drinks reception there, and it really is something special—so unique and full of charm.

The food was absolutely amazing. So many of our guests were commenting on how delicious everything was, and the portions were very generous at both the drinks reception and the dinner.

Fernhill House Hotel truly went above and beyond for us. They made our dream wedding a reality, and we’re so grateful to the entire team. From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free, especially with Ellie and all of the Fernhill team, who were an absolute pleasure to deal with.

It’s a beautiful hotel with stunning gardens, fantastic food, and genuinely top-class staff. We couldn’t recommend it more highly to anyone planning their big day—it really made the whole experience feel so special.

Can not recommend Fernhill house enough to anyone choosing a wedding venue. From guiding us in advance to all the prep and work that went into the day itself. Every single staff member us or our guests came into contact with was so genuinely lovely and helpful. Ellie & Neil were phenomenal on the day I couldn't get over how seamless the day was, it was all expertly managed and an amazing atmosphere cultivated all the while. Our vendors were all delighted to be coming to work at Fernhill which added so much to the buildup for us and it was so nice to know they were all looked after on the day without prompt. Everyone is still raving about the exceptional food, not just on the day of the wedding but throughout the few days people stayed, my husband will forever talk about the sandwich he got at 2.30am after we'd missed our late night food. The patience of the staff putting up with our overexcited clumsy guests late into the night allowed us to have a completely stress free day we will forever be grateful for. I would also highly recommend the stunning Styling lounge and a ceremony on site, we were able to spend quality time with our guests and eachother without worrying about ferrying from one location to the next. The setting itself is magical the gardens are beautifully landscaped and we're going to need regular trips back for the wine & apple juice alone. The location is perfect with the proximity to clonakilty and we went for a swim on day 2 in the stunning warren beach which is a 10minute drive away.

Fernhill really was exceptional for our recent wedding. From the minute we booked our wedding the wedding co-ordinators Ann and Ellie went above and beyond, answering any questions we had and being exceptionally helpful with any special requests we wanted. Nothing was ever a problem. We had asked for a few tweaks prior to the wedding including some different drinks to be available at the drinks reception and for the top table to be in the middle of the room, there was no hesitation from the staff at Fernhill to make these changes.

Fernhill were exceptional when it came to liasing with the different vendors we had booked for the day, honestly everything was so well managed and the timing of the day ran seamlessly.

Our guests were blown away by how exceptional the food and the service were both at the drinks reception and in the dining room.

We met the O'Neill family throughout the day and they could not have been more welcoming and helpful to us. We were able to enjoy the entire day without having to worry about anything. Fernhill is in a league of its own when it comes to weddings. I would not for a second hesitate to recommend Fernhill to anyone, I only wish we could relive the day again.

We got married in Fernhill on the 13th September! From the first day we met with Neil and the staff we were blown away by how helpful and kind they were. There was no request we had that they couldn't cater for. We knew we were in safe hands! The food was amazing and the fernery, the bridal suite and gardens everything was fabulous! Honestly, have not one complaint! So many of our guests complimented the food and venue! We wish we could do it all Overall again! We would highly recommend!

We got married in Fernhill on the 12th September and had the most incredible day from start to finish. Starting the morning in the beautiful new bridal styling suite set the whole tone. The staff could not have been more helpful and attentive with my many requests in the lead up to the day. Due to the weather we had our ceremony in the new Fernery ad it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and all of our guests are still raving about it. I wish we could do it all again, definitely recommend as the best wedding venue!

My husband and I got married in Fernhill 5th September 2025 and the whole day was amazing! Staff were brilliant and always checking on us, we married in the gardens and it was so gorgeous to marry outside amongst the flowers and nature, drinks reception in the new Fernery was also amazing, and the food all day was spectacular! Would recommend to anyone to pick this venue as your choice for your special day. On top of all that, the new styling suite was the icing on the cake! The family and staff know what they are doing when it comes to hosting weddings and it really shows with how seamlessly the day went by.

We were married at Fernhill on Sept 3rd 2025. We plan and organized our wedding with Fernhill from Canada. We could not recommended the place enough. Service, the grounds, attention to detail, bridal suite, food EVERY SINGLE THING was above and beyond fantastic. They took care of everything so there was no stress on the day. The other highlight was the beautiful styling room … absolutely worth it ladies!! Friends and family said it was the best hotel they have ever been to in Ireland! Excellent management, excellent staff and team. Thank you again Fernhill 💕

We had our wedding reception in Fernhill House on the 22nd August this year.
From start to finish they could not have done enough for us. From securing the date, to the menu tasting to the big day, everything was just seamless.
Ellie was always at the other end of an email or phone call if we had any queries or questions for her and she could not have been nicer to deal with.
The hotel made us feel so special which did not go unnoticed.
Would highly recommend the hotel to any couples comsidering hosting their ceremony and or reception there

We had the most incredible experience at fernhill! From the moment we toured the space, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, and their professionalism and kindness made the planning process so much easier.
The venue itself is stunning. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the atmosphere, food, and overall flow of the evening.
What truly stood out was the level of care from the team particularly Ellie and Neil. We planned everything from overseas but they both accommodated last minute additions/ changes. They anticipated our needs before we even thought of them and made us feel completely at ease on our big day. Thanks to Fernhill we were able to truly enjoy every moment, stress-free.
We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a gorgeous setting and an exceptional team
Thanks again
Mags & Corie

We had our wedding in Fernhill in June 2025. From the minute we saw Fernhill and met Ann Culhane we booked in our wedding straight away. We are both from Kerry, but wanted to do our wedding some where different. We couldn’t have made a better decision to go with Fernhill.
Ann was amazing at planning our wedding for us, no ask was too much. Always answered any questions we had and always went above and beyond. We worked with Ellie on the week of our wedding who was just as professional, helpful and fabulous as Ann.
We came with so much decor and Ellie placed this so beautifully around Fernhill she didn’t miss one detail.
The Fernery was just absolutely beautifully set up for our wedding day. The guests loved the carts taking them up and down the gardens. The food and dinner was just amazing. All the guests were raving about it. They said they were never at a wedding where the food was kept at such a high standard.
There is such a lovely cosy, family feel to the hotel and atmosphere.
So many guests told us it was the best wedding they were ever at.
If you are considering having your wedding here I highly recommend it.
Thank you again to all the O Neil’s, Ann, Ellie and all the staff at Fernhill.

The staff were incredible to deal with, everything ran so smoothly they really know what they're doing and put us at ease.
The Venus is pristine, both inside and the gardens. The food was 10/10, all our guests were so complimentary of the food and service.

To say our wedding was a great is an understatement! Thanks to the staff at fernhill it was a fairytale! We got married in July and we had our fingers crossed that we could get married in the garden and it worked out! Reka, my wife, got ready on the morning in fernhill and she commented on how she was made feel like a famous person for a day! They had breakfast and Prosecco while my groom party got ready in the bridal sweet. Ellie,the wedding coordinator and her team, could not do enough for us… they put things out as we wanted and there was even a member of staff holding umbrellas at the back, just in case, for the whole ceremony. There was three staff at the back of the ceremony waiting for the bride and while I was standing at the top of the aisle, Michael O Neill the owner came through the garden, fixed my tie and said have a great day and don’t be nervous and walked off … a really lovely touch. The drinks reception was super and they poured away and handed out bottles of beer. Everyone commented on how beautiful the food was … throughout the day staff were there every where we turned offering us a drink or asking us if we needed anything. Getting married here is worth every penny and people are still talking about how amazing the day was! Thank you Michael , Ellie and your wonderful staff for what can only be described as a fairytale.
From Reka and Ronan Mc Mahon ❤️

An outstanding wedding venue. The setting, the staff, the gardens, the food, the service, the rooms, the management, the atmosphere, the coordination, the attention to detail. Fernhill literally has it all.
We chose Fernhill because we were looking for a venue that felt different to typical hotel weddings and we got it so right. Fernhill House may be a hotel in name but it is so much more. As cheesy as this is, it is a community. Everything was seamless from start to finish. Every question we asked was answered immediately. Every visit to the venue made us feel like VIPs and made us so excited. The tasting menu was so extensive, we struggled to choose and our guests RAVED about the food afterwards. In fact, our friends and family raved about a lot - the gardens, Michael's golf buggy and hat, the service, the marquee, the breakfast, the list goes on and on. One thing I loved hearing from guests was that everyone had different aspects of Fernhill that they enjoyed; their compliments weren't just generic ones.
Our wedding was complicated by some odd decor pieces to match a goofy theme. This could have been met by resistance from Ellie and the staff but it really never ever was. Even the placement of games for the drinks reception was really well considered. The whole process was seamless, it really was. Even the morning of the wedding, it looked to be too windy to have the ceremony outside but Ellie suggested giving it 45 mins and the decision was made at 10:30 (for a 2 PM ceremony) to hold it outside.
We'd never actually been to Fernhill for a wedding but I will be begging engaged friends to book it for theirs (although they probably want to after attending our wedding).
A couple of recommendations if you book Fernhill: the wedding website they used (Moposa) was good for some things but the RSVP function did not work correctly for some guests. In terms of food, the monkfish was outstanding and the baked Alaska was also heavily popular, especially with one guest who is a Michelin trained pastry chef. If you are thinking of having a relaxing day, we chose to have everything in Fernhill - the ceremony, reception, photos, dinner, etc - and this was such a great decision that allowed us to spend more time with guests and allowed us to enjoy the venue completely.
Just book Fernhill - you won't regret it an ounce. I'd nearly get remarried just to do it all again.

We had our wedding in Fernhill in June 2025. When we were in the planning stages the Fernhill team supported us and helped us every step of the way. No question or request was too big or small.

Our ceremony was held in the outside ceremony area. The flowers were in full bloom and the surrounding garden area was so beautiful. One of our guests is a flower enthusiast and had an absolute blast looking/photographing the flowers for inspiration for his own garden! We had the most beautiful photos taken around the grounds. There are different opportunities around the gardens and even a fountain near the glass house.

The drinks reception was in the new glass house, it beautiful. Tasty canopies and drinks, looking out onto fountain and grounds. It was a hot day and there is plenty of seating outside and also buggies to bring any guests who need it up to the main hall. The dinner itself was fabulous. Everybody loved the food. The team here are exceptional, in every way, welcoming, helpful, warm, precise and they put the guests and ourselves first. Fernhill and our wedding day was above and beyond what we imagined. Some people said to us it was one of the best weddings they had been to and we can credit that to Fernhill.

Choosing Fernhill for our wedding reception was one of the easiest and best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process. From the moment we arrived for our viewing, Ann made us feel completely at home. She was such a calm and reassuring presence—always quick to respond, and thoughtful in every detail.

The venue is simply stunning—from the beautifully kept gardens and tastefully decorated house hotel to the glass marquee and the fairylit banquet hall, everything felt so romantic and special. Fernhill has so many extra touches that make it stand out. The food, the service, the staff—everything was top quality and flowed so seamlessly. The golf cart was a lovely touch of fun for the guests, and the singing bartender in the snug bar was such a memorable to end the night. So many of our guests commented that it was one of the most beautiful venues they had experienced.

Fernhill is a truly special, family-run venue, and the pride the O’Neill family takes in their work shines through in every part of the experience. We’re so delighted we chose to have our day there! Thank you for making it all so unforgettable.

We got married in Fernhill in May and it was the most perfect day from start to finish.

From our very first interaction with Ann and all the staff right through until we left the day after, we felt so well looked after and nothing was too much for them. Everyone in Fernhill is so friendly, welcoming and attentive and we genuinely cannot fault a thing.

The drinks reception is the best you could get, and the food is absolutely amazing. All of our guests were so impressed by the food and the service, as were we.

Having our wedding in Fernhill was the best decision we ever made and anyone thinking of getting married there is in for such a treat!

We cannot thank everyone in Fernhill enough for making our day as special as it was

We knew immediately after our first visit to Fernhill that this was the venue for us. The coordinator, Ann, was knowledgeable and supportive from the start. Additionally, all the family were very welcoming from that first meeting.

On the day, everything ran incredibly smoothly - we never had to ask for anything. We had multiple guests comment on the promptness/quality of service as well as the amazing food, and beautiful space.

Our date was unfortunately the one rainy Saturday of the month; however, the new marquee was still stunning. They gave us the option to stay there or go inside - we decided to chance it and were so pleased we did. Kart lifts from the lobby to the gardens were quick and fully sheltered, the marquee was more than spacious enough for all of our guests, and the lighting was fabulous for photos.

We were so happy with our day and would highly recommend Fernhill to other couples.

Fern Hill were absolutely incredible at organising and orchestrating our wedding. From the moment we booked the venue the wedding team made it their mission to make our experience as easy and straight forward as possible. They thought of absolutely everything that needed to be organised, helping us with every little detail. In particular I want to thank Ann and Ellie, who put up with our endless questions and gave us the five star experience from start to finish. We were so impressed with the level of detail that was put into every aspect of the day, including the unbelievably tasty menu! Thank you so much team, you truly made it the best day of our lives.

Myself and my husband had our wedding reception here in May 2025. We can't recommend Fernhill enough, from start to finish when we initially went to view the hotel they have been a pleasure to deal with. Ann is fantastic and such a professional. She is amazing at her job, and she is always on hand to answer any questions or queries. Nothing was too big or too small for Fernhill to do, and they always try to facilitate any requests.

The venue itself is gorgeous, we were lucky to have the newly renovated marquee available to us in the gardens and it was amazing as we luckily had fantastic weather. But on any day it just gives luxurious well polished vibes.

Also, the food in Fernhill is incredible! We had so many compliments afterwards from our guests. They use locally sourced produce and it speaks for itself.

Couldn't recommend Fernhill enough to anyone and we are super grateful that they looked after us for our big day.

Fernhill made our wedding so special. Every moment of the day was done to perfection and guests all looked after. So many people told us it was the best wedding food they ever had :) We had half our guests coming from London and the hospitality was first class, our guests and us were made to feel special.

We got married at Fernhill House on the 18th April and it was the best decision we made. As soon as we visited Fernhill House we knew it was perfect for us. The venue is beautiful (in all weathers) and the professionalism of all the staff does not go unnoticed.

Ann was amazing throughout the entire process and nothing was ever a problem to sort. Ann was incredibly calm, considerate and always smiling. Ann was able to plan and advise how to make the day run as smoothly as possible, and it did!

Myself and my bridesmaids got ready in the venue and were looked after so well by all the staff. The room is beautifully light and spacious and we had such a great time getting ready.

Our ceremony took place in the new Fernery which is beautifully light, spacious and looks onto the gorgeous gardens.

All of our guests have commented on how amazing Fernhill House was. Particularly how beautiful the gardens are, how wonderful and attentive the staff are and how smoothly the day ran. The food was also unbelievable and is still being commented on now! We really did have the time of our lives and it was the most perfect day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better day and could not recommend Fernhill House enough.

Choosing Fernhill House Hotel as our Wedding venue was the easiest and best decision we ever made! We knew it was the perfect place for our Wedding and didn’t need to consider any other venue. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Neil, Ann and all of the staff at Fernhill were beyond accommodating, attentive and professional. Ann, our wedding coordinator helped with every detail and left no stone unturned while Neil went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day. The new Fernery is absolutely stunning and was the perfect place for our drinks reception, with the backdrop of the beautiful gardens. The service and food was absolutely incredible and all of our guests are raving about it! We cannot recommend Fernhill enough to anyone considering it as their wedding venue! It truly made our wedding day unforgettable and exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful to everyone at Fernhill!

Steve and I got married at Fernhill House Hotel in February 2025. Through Anns support we booked the wedding with five months notice. We were conscious we were trying to organise a wedding in a very short time frame but we didn't need to worry. Ann, the O'Neill family and the rest of the staff made everything seamless. They are efficient, clear, helpful, knowledgeable and the food was absolutely unreal. So glad we celebrated in Fernhill.

Here’s a polished version of your review:

My wife and I celebrated our wedding at Fernhill House Hotel on December 29th with 108 guests, and it was truly an incredible experience. From the moment we first saw the venue and met Ann, we knew it was the perfect choice for our big day. Ann was so accommodating with all our requests and questions, making the planning process much easier and less stressful.

On the morning of the wedding, our bridal party got ready on-site in the Woodfield Room, where the staff took amazing care of us. They were always on hand to help with anything we needed, which made the morning so relaxed and enjoyable. Ann and the team also provided excellent recommendations for many of our suppliers, all of whom went above and beyond to make the day so special.

Our guests had nothing but praise for every aspect of the day — the delicious food, the attentive staff, the impeccable service, and the stunning surroundings. The attention to detail was second to none. Michael ensured everything ran smoothly well into the night, and we couldn't have felt more looked after.

We are so grateful to the entire Fernhill team for making our wedding day so memorable. If you’re a couple exploring wedding venues, we couldn’t recommend Fernhill more highly. Thank you for everything!

Myself and my wife Emma got married in Fernhill house on the 28/12/24. To say the day went well would be an understatement. The staff at Fernhill are the most professional I have ever encountered, no stone was left unturned. From day one Ann ensured that everything was taken care of and the day went off without a single glitch as a result! The food was amazing and people are still talking about the level of service! A huge thank you to the O’Neill’s and Ann in particular for making the day such a special one.

Darren and I had the privilege of getting married in Fernhill House on Friday, the 1st of November 2024. From start to finish their staff were exceptional on the day. But from the minute I spoke with Laura and Ann I knew that Fernhill house was the place for me and my family to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives. Ann was absolutely incredible to work with she is an exceptional worker. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. The whole O Neill family are incredible to be honest. From Michael carting us up and down, Neil directing the wedding ceremony and dinner reception. Teresa mending my wedding dress with her amazing seamstress skills. I cannot recommend Fernhill house hotel enough. To anyone reading this and wondering about where they should choose a venue heath my advice and go take a visit down to Fernhill. You will not be disappointed. The breathtaking gardens to the exceptional country house the whole place will blow you away.

Love Ciara, Darren & Robert x

We had our wedding on October 25th in Fernhill House Hotel, the venue is exceptional. From the moment we met Anne during our first visit, we knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding. Both Anne and Laura were a dream to work with from start to finish. They were always available to answer any questions promptly and were so lovely and professional throughout. On the big day, Neill was there to oversee everything and ensure it all ran seamlessly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing!

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and the overall experience at Fernhill. The staff were fantastic, and the atmosphere was unmatched. Even the residents’ bar staff went above and beyond, allowing the fun to continue with a sing-song late into the night!
We had the most magical day and would highly recommend Fernhill without hesitation !

when we initially visited fernhill we were still considering other venues for our special day, but Ann just made us feel so welcome from the moment we stepped in the door. We knew then this was where we wanted to have our celebrations. As a family run business it gives you something other places simply can’t offer -a personal experience for bridal party and guests. In the lead up to our wedding things were always handled with outstanding professionalism . Ann, Laura , Neil , Micheal, accommodation staff and all the O Neills welcomed us on any occassion leading up to the big day and made the day itself exceptional also. Our guests were delighted with the food, the venue and the fact that the whole venue is dedicated to you for the wedding. We cannot thank the staff enough for how smoothly our day went. We would highly recommend them to any bride and groom.

We just want to say the biggest thank you to all the amazing staff and management of Fernhill House Hotel and especially to the fabulous Ann and Laura. The day we viewed the hotel, we knew it was for us. Ann and Laura were so helpful throughout the whole planning process and it was so lovely that they were present for the main day. We had the best day and it is all to the hard work and dedication from all in Fernhill House Hotel. The food was divine and there was plenty of it. One of our neighbours who is a farmer said he couldn’t eat until midday the next day as he was well fed. The gardens and the house itself are spectacular which led to brilliant photos. We could not fault anything and we will definitely be recommending Fernhill to couples planning their big day. Everything about Fernhill House Hotel is just brilliant.

Fernhill House are truly outstanding at what they do. If you are trying to decide where to have your wedding then look no further than Fernhill. From start to finish they treat you like family and they ensure your special day runs very smoothly. The service is absolutely phenomenal and the food was described by many of our guests as being the best meal they have ever eaten. If you decide to book Fernhill, it will feel like your own exclusive event especially if you book all 27 rooms for your guests.
Anne, our wedding coordinator is the best at what she does. She's very easy to get on with and will make you feel right at ease from the moment you meet her.
You can tell that all the staff are extremely well trained and again the service was impeccable.
There's not one complaint either of us had except that they almost give you too much food! Which is the best complaint you can have.
So please do yourselves the favour of hosting your wedding at the best wedding venue in Ireland.

It's hard to express how incredible Fernhill are in every aspect of planning and hosting a wedding. We got married on 13th September in the absolutely stunning gardens of Fernhill, with our drinks reception in and around the marquee afterwards, and dinner in the main hall in the hotel. Every single part of the day was perfect, and we had comments from all of our guests complementing each part of the day, noting how stunning the venue was, how relaxing and tranquil the ceremony & drinks reception were in the gardens, and how good the food was - everyone commented on the excellence of the food.

Our bridal party got ready in Fernhill’s beautiful Woodfield room that morning and were so well taken care of, including a lovely breakfast and as much coffee (or mimosas) as needed! Our suppliers also noted how they are always so well taken care of at Fernhill. A special thank you to Abby who was an absolute treasure for the bridal party during the morning.

Fernhill is family owned and operated, and you really feel that. Right from the off, their flexibility in responding to our requests was noticable, and the atmosphere and friendliness on the day itself is definitely noticable. A special shout out to Ciara who was our wonderful top table server & also babysitter that night! The staff seem well looked after and happy, which is always great to see.

One specific example, we arranged tea / coffee / scones for a small group before the ceremony started. On the day, 1 guest (to everyone's surprise) mentioned they were coeliac and couldn't eat the scones. Without anyone asking, about 30 mins later, out comes a plate of freshly baked gluten-free scones. This sums up Fernhill - it just got taken care of, without anyone asking, with no fuss. Just incredible!

The O’Neill family are always around and very involved in ensuring the day goes well, particularly Neil and Michael Jr. We met Neil at our tasting during a Sunday lunch, where he gave us extra special care and attention. Neil was also there throughout the wedding day itself to ensure everything went smoothly, he was even serving tables during the dinner!

And finally, a huge shoutout to Ann Cullinane, our wedding coordinator at Fernhill. We organized our wedding from abroad (we live in Canada) and Ann was always available and always quick to respond. Nothing was an issue, and everything was met with “We'll take care of that, no problem”. We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day, and Ann made sure everything was prepped and organized, but all very much in the background and with no fuss. So professional, so friendly!

We had 140 at our wedding, and Fernhill (with their beautiful rooms) and Clonakilty town were more than capable of accommodating everyone. We even had guests that stayed for the whole weekend to experience the beautiful town and West Cork!

We're extremely lucky to have gotten Fernhill for our wedding, it was one of the last dates available in the Summer / Autumn, and we were so fortunate. If you're looking for a venue with attention to detail, a lovely atmosphere, exquisite food and even better service, you should definitely check out Fernhill!

Annie & James

I cannot thank or praise the staff of Fernhill House & Gardens enough ! They are there with you every step of the way and really go above and beyond to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day . The food was exceptional and all our guests are still raving about it . I did not have to think about anything other than making my way up the aisle, eating and partying!! they took care of everything else ! The venue has everything you need for all weather conditions and we even had our Day 2 there which was also amazing. Rooms are beautiful and gardens are something else . It really is a one stop shop for your wedding day but done so professionally and beautifully x I would highly recommend getting married there , you couldn’t be in better hands ! Thanks Leanne & Aidan

Ann, Laura and the entire team at Fernhill are just amazing. We knew from the second we walked around the gardens that we wanted to have our ceremony there. Fernhill made everything so easy for us and we didn't need to worry about anything on the day of our wedding.

We got married on the 28th June 2024 in the gardens this was a fantastic backdrop for the ceremony and photos , from the moment we visited the venue we knew we would be getting married there.
At our first meeting the wedding planner was professional and asked us everything we had thought about and lots we hadn't.
She gave us lots to think of and prepare but it was so worth it.
The planner kept in contact with us through our journey at important times and was always available to answer an email if we had an extra questions.
We had the most beautiful of days but even if it had rained the hotel have a plan B this was all discussed before hand so we were all on the same page.
The staff the food on the day was outstanding our guests are still talking about the day they had. Even though the following day they were setting up for another wedding they still carried on as professionals in assisting us to enjoy our breakfast and check up.
Definitely worth every penny Charlotte and Denis

My wife Niamh and I held our wedding reception in Fernhill in May 2024.
From the moment we first reached out to Ann, she and the team at Fernhill were incredible. They leave no stone unturned ensuring everything runs smoothly. The gardens and function room are amazing and perfect for photos.

We had a big wedding and the food and service was top notch. Our friends and family are still raving about the food!

We were made feel so special and couldn't recommend it more to anyone thinking of having their wedding there. We wish we could do it all over again! Looking forward to visiting again this summer.

A special mention to all the O'Neill family, the fantastic singing bar man (a huge hit with everyone) and the fantastic wedding coordinator Ann!

Love Jack & Niamh

The minute we stepped onto the Fernhill grounds, we knew we had found something special. When we were taken on a tour and we were brough to the ballroom, seen owner Michael pushing his grandkids on a cart along laughing, we instantly felt the relaxing and family atmosphere of the venue.

Ann, our wedding co-ordinator was phenomenal to work with. She was available to answer questions at all the different stages and was amazing at supporting us in making decisions.

Fast forward to our wedding day, we struck luck with a glorious day – blue skies for miles. The staff could not have been any more accommodating. Laura made sure everything went smoothly on the morning before the ceremony and Neil was on hand in the background to ensure everything was on schedule.

They have everything down to a fine tune. The gardens, the marquee, the dining room and bedrooms are just outstanding. But OMG…. The food – chef’s kiss!
We know we have only mentioned a few people by name but in Fernhill, it really takes a village! The staff interact with each other positively and each of them wanted to be there. The service was 5 Star. I have never been at a function where everybody in the room is served and eats at the same time. It was so nice to take a moment and see everyone eating together and enjoying themselves.

The night moved into morning for some members of the wedding party. We would love to thank Michael ‘the singing barman’, for singing a tune and adding an already day.

We think back to our day and its very hard to put into words how amazing it was. But let us say this, there is nothing we would change from start to finish. Thank you for being such an important part of wedding and we can’t wait to visit for our anniversary.

Choosing Fernhill House Hotel as our wedding venue was the best decision we made!

From the moment we met the wedding coordinator Ann Cullinane, we were filled we peace and reassurance that she would do everything in her power to give us the best day of our life…and she absolutely did. Ann’s efficient communication was exceptional and her attention to detail was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble and she made all of our dreams come true. The day ran like clockwork, due to Ann’s meticulous planning and organisational skills. The feed back from the hundreds of guests was overwhelmingly positive.

The O’Neill Family welcomed us so warmly for a weekend that we will remember forever. The quality of service and food was exceptional throughout. Every staff member was so helpful from initial bookings, accommodation, waiting staff and reception staff.

We couldn’t recommend Fernhill House Hotel highly enough.

We had our wedding in Fernhill last January. We had a wonderful experience with all the staff of Fernhill. Ann, the wedding coordinator made sure the planning process was smooth and everything was easily dealt with. Fernhill was beautifully decorated for Christmas and every additional touch was thought of. The food was exceptional with one of our guests commenting that it was the best meal he had ever had at a wedding. We would recommend Fernhill to anyone getting married.

We had our wedding in fernhill during Christmas 2023 . At an age where we have been overwhelmed with weddings over the past few years and also being from Clonakilty . I am not being biased in saying fernhill will always be far superior to anywhere we have been . The service and kindness the O Neil family and wedding team with particular mention to (Anne Cullinane) provide is second to none . Every member of staff do there job with such professionalism from the beginning to the end of the night/morning . We could not have asked for anymore . The food is superb , decor superb and any suppliers we spoke to were alway delighted to hear the wedding was in fernhill which is always a good sign . Don't hesitate to book fernhill for your special day you will not regret it .

Fernhill exceeded all expectations for our wedding. The staff were fantastic, the food was fabulous and the whole experience was just incredible. We had a November wedding so the Christmas decorations were up which added an extra magical layer. The wedding co ordinator, Ann, could not have been any more helpful and reassuring. She really helped to alleviate the pre wedding nerves , and made sure the whole day went exactly according to plan. We had our ceremony on site aswell, which was held in the marquee, and it was so beautiful. Everyone who attended our wedding had nothing but positive things to say, especially about the quality of the food which was superb, and the helpfulness of the staff. We are forever grateful to Fernhill for giving our marriage such a phenomenal beginning. Furthermore, the gardens were just mesmerising and our wedding photos are just sunning as a result. I cant express how happy we are that we chose this venue.

Fernhill House offered everything we wanted for our wedding; a beautiful location, exceptional food, a country house vibe, and wonderful staff. Ann was a complete professional and a pleasure to work with in the lead up to the wedding! Every staff member went above and beyond! It was so clear to us that the staff are happy in their work and feel valued. Nothing was ever a problem and the lead up to the wedding was really seamless. The day itself was everything we could ever have dreamed of! Our guests are still raving about the food, the accomodation and the venue itself. If we were to do it all again in the morning, we would choose Fernhill every time!

Ann Cullinane (wedding coordinator) and the O'Neill family run a very efficient, top quality, welcoming and picturesque venue in Clonakilty, West Cork. We had over 200 guests and got married outside in the beautiful gardens followed by drinks reception in the marquee. Reception was up in the hotel. The venue was brilliantly staffed and the day and night went better than we could of planned!

Absolutely amazing service from the moment we decided to look at Fernhill as our wedding venue, they have everything down to an absolute T, could not find one fault , we had the most amazing day.

For anyone deciding on choosing Fernhill house to host their wedding , DO SO. Cannot speak highly enough of each and everyone one of the staff employed there. Our wedding day went fantastic and it is simply down to every person employed there . The organisers are phenomenal . The food is arguably the nicest and well presented food in the hole county of cork . The service and friendliness of the waiters / waitresses is just amazing . Highly recommend if considering Fernhill to trust and go with them ! Fantastic team , good & hotel & gardens .

I couldn't recommend Fernhill highly enough to have your wedding. From the moment we got in touch with Ann the Wedding Coordinator, she was nothing but responsive, professional and flexible with any and every request. The food at Fernhill is second to none, the gardens are beautiful and they can accommodate to every weather condition.
Finally, they manage to strike the unique balance of having done so many weddings they are prepared for anything; while making your wedding feel like it's the most special.

We got married in the beautiful Fernhill House Hotel in May 2023. We cannot begin to thank Fernhill enough for everything they done to make our day so unique and special. From initial booking in 2021 to checkout we honestly could not find flaw in anything. Ann the wedding coordinator is exceptional! She is professional and approachable and puts passion into what she does. We never had to remind the hotel about anything. Whatever we asked or whatever special requests we had arranged were all taken care of perfectly.

On the day of the wedding we had our drinks reception in the garden marquee and the sun was glorious. This was a very unique setting and different to many other hotels we have went to weddings at. The gardens were perfect for our couple photos and also for family/friends photos. We didn't feel the need to add much of our own decor/touches as we knew they would do the job well. The function room was beautifully decorated with flower table centre pieces and Fernhill looked after printing all the table plans etc. The O?Neill family all work on the floor in the hotel and this could really be seen during the meal. The O?Neills, their managers, chefs and staff were all exceptional. The food was excellent and the service was incredible. At one point there was 8 bar staff in the function room alone. Something I have not seen at any other venue. The residents bar was also well staffed and they were not in the mood for going to sleep either as the barman Michael and also Michael O?Neill sung with us into the early hours.

On day 2, the breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. We had a BBQ for about 100 guests at 3pm which was also very well executed and the food was very plentiful. We had arranged mini busses into Clonakilty for our night 2 celebrations and on return to Fernhill at 1:30am there was 2 bar staff waiting for our return and they also had put on finger food for everyone. It's the small touches like this that makes this such a unique venue.

Looking forward to being a guest at many weddings to come!

Annmarie & Conor

Fernhill were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Ann, the wedding coordinator, is simply superb at her job and certainly made our special day hassle free. Every aspect, from the decor to the food was just perfect. Thank you Fernhill.

Brilliant service

Fernhill House Hotel was the perfect wedding venue - Ann the wedding coordinator was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire planning process and never minded answering our many questions. Additionally, the level of service provided by the venue was exceptional which is reflective of the family-run nature of the Hotel and how well the O'Neill family look after all their guests.
Our day flowed seamlessly and everything went off without a hitch which is a credit to the amazing staff at Fernhill. We couldn't recommend them more!

I could not recommend this venue enough. The O'Neills and their staff are amazing. The surroundings are stunning and every need is catered for.
But, again, I will go back to the family and their staff. On a very nervous day, and for the day after...they put us so much at ease and not only that Mr O'Neil became part of what was the happiest day of our lives.

PS. The Elvis barman was exceptional.

Do yourself a favour and please look into this magnificent venue.

Fernhill is an all around amazing venue from the facilities to the staff, everything was 5 star. Ann is a fantastic wedding co ordinator, as a bride planning our wedding in a country we don't live it, having Ann on hand is something money can't buy, she was quick with her responses and helped with any questions or concerns we had. The whole planning process to the big day and after was a pleasure and we can't wait to visit one day when we are back

We had our wedding in Fernhill, September 2022 and from the time we first viewed the hotel we knew it was the venue we wanted for our wedding. Ann was an absolute dream to deal with from the very start, she was always on hand to answer any questions we had and she was always so quick to respond. Ann put us at total ease from the beginning and we just knew the our wedding day was in safe hands, anything we requested Ann ensured it was done on the day. The setting of the hotel is just speaks for itself, from the drinks receptions in the marquee, the ample space in the beautiful gardens for photo's and the reception room decorated in fairy lights just blew our guests breath away, 5 months on and our guests are still talking about the most amazing meal and service provided by staff.

From the minute we decided to have our wedding at Fernhill we were delighted! Ann makes absolutely everything stress free. All the staff are amazing to deal with. Ohh and the food Just, amazing!!!Just the perfect place to have your wedding

My husband and I had our wedding reception in Fernhill and Ann and the O' Neill family ensured we had the most amazing day. From the minute we met Ann and the O' Neill family to discuss our plans for our wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. Their professionalism, warmth and pride they take in weddings was very clear throughout our planning and on the day of the weddding. The food at Fernhill holds its own reputation. The hard work of each and every staff on the day of our wedding was very evident and all so welcoming. The hotel and grounds itself are always picturesque and always so clean. We cannot speak highly enough of Fernhill as wedding venue and we are very grateful to all of the staff that made our day so special.

Fernhill are simply unbeatable! From start to finish, we cannot fault them and Ann and team really added to our overall experience. Incredible food, stunning gardens, and wonderful staff. The perfect mix! Guests are still talking about what an amazing day we had. I cannot thank Ann, Neil and team for everything they did for us.

We couldn't speak more highly of Fernhill as a venue and Ann as a Wedding co-ordinator. Living aboard we had concerns about planning a Wedding at home in Ireland. However, from the first video call with Ann at Fernhill, our concerns were eased and excitement started to grow. The team at Fernhill were so accommodating to every request we proposed which in turn gave us great comfort in the week leading up to the wedding knowing that Ann and her team had everything under control. If we were to do it all over again we wouldn't change a thing!

From the moment we got engaged we knew Fernhill was the place we would be married, and as soon as we viewed it in July 2020 we just fell in love. When we met with Ann, she was incredibly friendly, approachable, helpful and professional, everything a Wedding Coordinator should be, and more. I felt like no question was too silly to ask, and she was always on hand to answer any calls or emails.
We got married here July 10th 2022, and throughout the rollercoaster of the pandemic, Ann always kept in touch, and we had an absolutely amazing day. From the morning of the wedding and the delicious breakfast they arranged, to the perfectly timed (and hidden!) golf cart trip to the ceremony space, to the incredible drinks reception and then to the fabulous dinner and dancing - it all ran like clockwork, and absolutely none of our wishes were omitted (Ann really did get my vision for the decorations!).
Fernhill is truly a one of a kind venue and service, they do weddings, and they do them well!
Thanks to all the team at Fernhill for what feels like a dream, especially Ann and Neil and the O'Neil family!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in Fernhill in July 2022.

Every meeting we had with Ann she was just amazing. She went through every single detail and gave excellent advice. The O'Neills and Ann were always on the other end of the phone if anything needed to be asked.
We had a civil ceremony in the garden and that too was organised very well. They provided bottles of water and umbrellas for everyone as it was a very hot day. The staff were wonderful and any request we had was never an issue. We had 16 children and had asked for garden games, connect 4/jega to be set up in the garden. Mike gave some of the kids extra spins in the golf cart which they loved
The food was amazing and plenty of everything. All my guests were saying after the wedding that it was so relaxing and everyone commented on how great the meal was.

When we arrived for our big day, everything was beyond perfect. Neill,Ann and the team are outstanding at what they do. The drinks reception, the food and the room layout and decoration was beyond what we could have imagined.

From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank the O'Neills, Ann and all the team for making our wedding perfect.

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Ann and the entire team at Fernhill. We had our ceremony in the gardens and reception on site. There was amazing communication the whole way from booking our date, and no request or question was ever a problem. We couldn't have had the entire planning process made any easier. On the day, Ann and the whole O?Neill family were always on hand, friendly, flexible and and so kind, and really made our day. We loved it and would recommend Fernhill to anyone planning their wedding.

Couldn't have had a better day and Anne was so attentive to our needs! Staff were brilliant and family and friends have sworn hand in heart it was the nicest venue they have ever had the pleasure of attending a wedding in.

The hotel could not have done enough for us. Ann was so helpful in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself.

We got married in Fernhill this year and the whole experience was fabulous. We booked our venue during covid and Ann was so helpful talking us through everything over the phone, and was available any time we needed to get in touch, and answering so many of our questions to help us plan our wedding. Ann and the whole team at Fernhill were so organised and could not have done more for us on the day. We didn't think about anything, just enjoyed every moment. I would highly recommend Fernhill for your wedding

We had such a great day in Fernhill! The service on the day was excellent and everyone commented on how lovely the venue was (the hotel itself, and the gardens), as well as how amazing the food was. We heard from a lot of our guests that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! The value for money was excellent and Ann was so flexible when we kept having to change our numbers and table plan due to our guests getting covid before the big day! There was also never any pressure from the hotel and, at least from our side, it felt so relaxed and easy-going. It was lovely to have a chat with the owners on the day too, and you could see there is real pride of their venue and gorgeous personal touches from the O'Neill family as well! Just wish we could do it all over again!!

We looked at venues all over the country as we were living in Dublin, my husband is from Athlone and I'm from Cork. Hands down no where came close to level of professionalism and welcome given by Fernhill. It was clear they were just as passionate about us enjoying the day as we were. Nothing was ever an issue, every venue without question needs an Ann Cullinane for a coordinator. The others we met with did not have her warmth and enthusiasm, never were we made feel this was just another wedding. All our guests raved about the food and the O'Neil family give it that incomparable West Cork welcome. I would recommend Fernhill to anyone

Ann and the O'Neill family in Fernhill House were amazing to deal with for our wedding. The service and food were fantastic! It really was an amazing venue for us and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. All of our guests complimented the venue and service and said the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding! A big thank you to Fernhill and their staff for making our day so special. We will certainly be back to stay.

We had our wedding here last October& I have only good things to say about the venue, staff, food & over all experience. Ann the wedding coordinator was great to deal & took care of everything. Fernhill is definitely a great venue for a special occasion, there's something special about the place.

Fernhill are exceptional, from walking in the door for the first meeting and viewing, to long after the wedding day. Their reputation; is quite deservedly legendary; but to to actually experience their kindness, attention to detail and sheer professionalism is astounding. What a pleasure from our first meeting with Ann, who answered questions we didn't even know we had, to Mike senior looking after us the following day with treats from the kitchen at 2am to the beautiful setting and gardens and delicious food.
To Ann and all of the O'Neills thank you so much, we thoroughly look forward to spending many more special family occasions and casual visits with you!

Every member of staff were amazing, not only on the night but any time we called to the venue on the lead up. Ann the wedding coordinator couldn't do enough for us and guided us perfectly in the planning and always answered our questions promptly, no matter how small a question! The O?Neils were brilliant on the lead up and the day too from having different plans in place due to the weather to helping to sort out the technical side of the music to the little details Theresa puts into the venue. If you are looking for attentive, friendly and helpful staff in beautiful romantic surroundings then look no further!

From the beginning the o Neill family hotel owners Ann Cullinane wedding coordinator were outstanding as my daughters wedding was postponed for a year due to Covid-19. They went over to help her feel less stress and made sure every question was answered promptly which made the day so much easier. The quality of the food and attention to detail was amazing.

We got married in Fernhill in August 2021. It was a magical experience, both Neil and Anne make eventing so seamless we knew we could trust them and not worry about a single thing. All our guests are still to this day talking about the food and the wonderful atmosphere. From day one we knew this was the only venue for us and couldn't have asked for anything more.

We had our wedding Fernhill House hotel and Gardens in May this year and we had the most amazing weekend! From planning it all from abroad, to the most amazing weekend, they were just flawless. The wedding Coordinator Ann is simply outstanding at what she does and the entire day passed by without a single hitch. She talked me through every step of the day and was so responsive to my endless emails during the planning!
The O' Neills were amazing and so lovely to meet and all the staff were wonderful too. All the guests have not stopped raving about what a great day we all had and how amazing the food was. I am so happy with everything and couldn't pick one negative thing if I tried.
Thank you Fernhill!

I could not recommend Fernhill enough to any couple getting married. Ann, the wedding coordinator went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly, had seamless communication prior to the day and really made the whole process so simple. The marquee was amazing and was a lovely reception there. The food for our meal was absolutely amazing!! Our cake was beautifully placed on the cake table and all our decorations were placed perfectly along with our flowers. All of our guests were treated like royalty and still speak about how great their experience was there. We also got some spectacular photos in the gardens both in the day and night time.

A fantastic service by Fernhill for our wedding in August this year. Beautiful ceremony in the amazing garden setting. The service from before the big day, right the way through was second to none. Anne is wonderful at her job and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thank you so much for all that you did in our organising.
All of the O?Neill family have a very friendly manner which shows through in their team as everything on the day ran so well. Dinner was amazing with compliments on the food from all guests.
Fernhill was always in our sights for our wedding day and as expected we had a wonderfully memorable day with our nearest and dearest enjoying the celebrations with us.

We had our wedding here during the beginning of the very strict lockdown when 12 people were able to attend a wedding. Fernhill did everything imaginable to make this the most special day of our lives. The staff went above and beyond for us in every aspect. So easy to deal with and they are top tier professionals in everything they do

Our wedding at Fernhill was the most amazing day. From the planning stages to the finishing touches, Ann Cullinan and the team at Fernhill ensured our big day was planned to perfection and we were able to enjoy the wedding to the fullest. Ann kept in touch with us throughout the process and was always one step ahead. The staff on the day were incredibly professional and every one of our guests were looked after. The food was outstanding. Thank you to the O Neill family and Ann for their attention to detail and for creating such a beautiful atmosphere on our day.

My husband and I got married here in January and we couldn't be happier with the service we received. From the very first time we set foot inside Fernhill we were treated amazingly and were always happy with the service. Ann, Michael and Neil were always professional, helpful and friendly. They always replied to our questions and gave us advice throughout our wedding planning experience. The day itself was perfect from start to finish. The set up, the food and just the general running of the day was exceptional and seamless. The food especially was to die for and our guests have been raving about it ever since. The hotel is so cosy and beautiful and having exclusivity made the day even more personal for us. They also have amazing gardens that set the scene for breathtaking photos that meant we didn't need to leave our location in the day.
We honestly couldn't be happier with our choice in wedding venue and will be recommending Fernhill for years to come.

Myself and my wife had our wedding in Fernhill on NYE 2019 and had an amazing experience. Fernhill were excellent from start to finish, nothing we asked for was too much trouble and they really made things so easy. Our guests complimented us on the reception and really enjoyed their meal. Particular mention just go to Ann who is fantastic in her role as wedding coordinator. She was so easy to deal with and offered really honest genuine advice on all things ?wedding? which was really appreciated. Thanks to all the staff for everything and we look forward to come back to visit some time soon. Thanks Karen and Killian

Amazing venue! If I had to do it all again I would pick this venue again! Incredible service from day one! Ann and co have been fantastic to us!

Fernhill went above and beyond with everything. Food was amazing!! And talk of the wedding. Also they did not take payment for a couple for a room as had to leave unexpectedly I never heard of this from a hotel before. Everyone went above and beyond highly recommended

Amazing venue with lovely owners and staff. Made us feel like we were part of the Fernhill family! Not one complaint, everything was perfect.

Fernhill provided with a beautiful location to share our humanist ceremony, drinks reception and meal with our friends and family. The warmth and attention to detail that was shown to us was exeptional - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a venue for anyone especially if you want to have a civil ceremony on site.

Fernhill House Hotel made our special day extra special. The gardens and marquee for photos and the drinks reception are exceptional and the attention to detail throughout the hotel is fantastic. Ann, Neil and team are so attentive and responded to any queries I had straight away. The food and service were fantastic everyone left full and happy.

We would highly recommend Fernhill House Hotel to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue. The whole team are so professional and the day runs so smoothly as they are experts at what they do in Fernhill. The wedding coordinator Ann is fantastic to deal with, as are all the O'Neill family & staff. The food is delicious and the hotel is stunning.

Absolutely everything on our wedding day was amazing. Everything was in hand and taken care of, I wasn't sure what to expect on the day and so was worrying about timings etc but there was no need at all. The day was everything we could have wanted. The hotel is top class especially when it comes to weddings. The food was excellent and there was plenty available. The gardens are beautiful, we got beautiful photographs there and in the beautiful lounge area. We had a BBQ inside the next day and again there was plenty of food and it was amazing, our guests all commented on the food. As for the staff, everyone was lovely and so so helpful. I?d give a special shout out to Neil, who was so brilliant to deal with and to Ann for all her help on the day and ensuring everything ran smoothly. We look forward to coming back soon.

From start to finish everything just ran so smoothly. The hotel and grounds are gorgeous and the food was delicious. There was absolutely no drama and we had an amazing day.

We had such a beautiful wedding at Fernhill. Neil and Anne were such an amazing support in the run up to the wedding. They were always so professional and at the other side of the phone when I needed help with suppliers...They really took the stress out of the occasion and organising.
The room was fabulously decorated and the food was unbelievable. We were so delighted to get lovely photos in the amazing gardens.
I'd highly recommend this hotel if you want a wedding with beautiful food in a stunning location.

We had a fantastic wedding in Fernhill House and Gardens. The weather was fantastic and we we had our ceremony outdoors in the beautiful gardens. The marquee was beautiful for the drinks reception. The drinks were plentiful and there was a generous selection of canapes. Everything on the day ran very smoothly and Ann and Neil were at hand for the day and night. The dinner was delicious and the evening food was great. All of the guests commented on how nice the food was. Ann was always at the end of the phone or email and was extremely helpful with her local and practical recommendations. The venue was very flexible regarding the type of relaxed day we wanted. I would highly recommend Fernhill House as a wedding venue.

From the minute we walked into Fernhill we knew it was the hotel for us. The gardens alone wok it for us but the friendliness of all the stop and the fact that it is run by a family really appealed to us. The day ran seemlessly with everyone enjoying the day and saying how amazing the food was. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to get married.

Amazing venue, staff, food & all for the best value any couple could wish for, highly recommend Fernhill for any event.
Outstanding

All the staff at Fernhill house went above and beyond to help especially Ann and Neil. We had a magical day and knew we didn't have to worry about a thing as Ann and Neil made sure everything ran smoothly.
And the Food was outstanding the meal was beautiful all our guest keep commenting on how beautiful the meal was. You just CAN?T beat Fernhill in our books.

Fernhill House Hotel & Gardens is an amazing venue. The beautiful gardens, marquee & quaint welcoming house / reception areas are perfect for an exclusive wedding. It is run to impeccable standards by the O'Neill family & all their staff. They were a pleasure to deal with from day 1 to the day after our wedding. Our guests were blown away by their service. Could not fault the hotel / management in the slightest! No hesitation in recommending Fernhill for a wedding / celebration venue.

We had a lovely day.

There isn't one thing I could fault about either the lead up or our wedding day itself. Nothing was ever too much to ask the team at Fernhill, and they did everything possible to ensure that our day went exactly the way we wanted it too. The food was amazing, as was the service and attention to detail. Everything about the day was so relaxed, exactly as we had wished for, and if we could do it all over again we would!

This was the best day of my life so far. :) And personnel of Fernhill made it happen. Fernhill is amazing location with beautiful garden, whuch is the base of successful wedding photos.Thanks to our coordinator Ann preparations for the day and the day itself went very smoothly. We had a great dinner and tasty evening snacks. Big thanks for the magical day.

From the first meeting with Neil right through to the day itself, all of the team at the Fernhill House Hotel in Clonakilty played such a big part in making our wedding day such a fantastic, relaxed day. From the setting itself, to the fantastic food, to the great service, we are so glad we chose to have our wedding reception there. At our menu tasting we started having second thoughts about one choice...they really took our feedback on board and insisted we try other options-we were delighted with this and loved that Dish on the day! Highly recommend Fernhill House Hotel as a wedding venue!

We were recently married and had our wedding reception in Fernhill House Hotel. The service we received was absolutely outstanding. The O?Neill Family and all staff were very professional and fantastic to deal with from the moment we booked. Their attention to detail was second to none. We received fantastic advice and tips from Ann, the wedding co-ordinator, and all the O?Neills. On the day itself, the venue looked simply stunning, with no detail overlooked. The welcome we received in Fernhill on the day was so lovely. Our meal was simply sublime from start to finish. All our guests were talking about the quality of the food and the service they received. All dietary needs were catered for without any fuss or compromise in quality or choice. The management were present throughout our day to oversee proceeding and to step in to offer assistance at any moment. I couldn't recommend Fernhill any higher-once you select it as your wedding venue you won't have to worry about another detail!

I would definitely recommend fernhill house hotel as a wedding venue. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the staff and management were absolutely fantastic and were more than helpful in helping us organise the wedding and on our wedding day. I lost count of the compliments we received on our choice of venue.

Fernhill was a great placec to have our wedding. Everything about the place, down to the staff, the food everything was excellent and great value. Highly recommend Fernhill house as a venue to get married

From the day we booked all our requirements were dealt with, Caroline and the o Neill family gave us great advice with ideas for our civil ceremony and meal, Our day went stress free from cermony to an outstanding drinks reception with fabulous finger food . The main reception was held in the dining room, where all stops were pulled out to accommodate our intimate day. The meal and service was so excellent every guest (85) complimented on it . We would sincerly thank Caroline , the O Neill family and staff, for making our day A DAY TO REMBER

Had our wedding reception here on the.21st October 2017. I can't fault one thing. From the moment we booked our wedding everything was so easy and nothing was too much trouble. Our wedding day still gives me goosebumps and we are so proud to have everyone compliment our day thanks to the level of professionalism from the hotel staff. The function room was breath taking. Bridal suite stunning. The food out of this world. I honestly can't find one negative thing to say. We also had our second day here. We had a BBQ in the marquee followed by band and dj. Again amazing! What I loved is that its a family run hotel and by the time you leave after your wedding you almost feel like you have known them years. Thank you so much fernhill for making our day one we will always remember and cherish.

From planning, to food tasting, to cooperation and flexibility the staff and management at Fernhill were terrific. Just really lovely and accomodating professionals, taking the stress out of the day and turning it into the celebration it should be

This hotel absolutely know how to put on a wedding! We got married the weekend of storm Ophelia so needless to say it was a washout! We had our ceremony in the marquee and had planned on utilising outside for our drinks reception but because of the weather we had to keep everyone indoors. The way the staff dealt with the situation was nothing short of amazing. They managed to transform the room from a ceremony set up to a drinks set up in a matter of minutes! Their friendliness and flexibility was the reason we chose this venue. Let's just say we had a couple of alternative ideas! But they were open to anything we suggested and the service, set up and easy manner made for such an incredible day regardless of the weather!! Would highly recommend the Fernhill

Perfect every step x

This hotel is absolutely outstanding nothing is too much for them. Thankfully not a thing went wrong the day of our wedding. Everything was spot on down to the smallest detail.

could not say enough about the staff at Fernhill they were amazing.nothing was too much to ask the efficiency and friendliness of all the waiters on the day was nothing short of perfection. a very big thank you to Caroline for always saying 'no problem' and for answering my endless questions. it was truly the most perfect day.

From the moment we viewed Fernhill as a potential wedding venue right up until our big day the staff of Fernhill and the wedding coordinator were so professional, helpful and friendly. They couldn't do enough for us, allowing us to have the perfect day. The meal, reception food, service, marquee and beautiful gardens were things guests complimented us on. The party went on until all hours and the owners even dropped some of the guests back to their B&B, so kind of them. The hotel presented my husband and I with surprise engraved bride and groom crystal glasses which we were a lovely keepsake.

Excellent venue, nothing was an issue, they were very accommodating and made planning our wedding so easy! We loved the day, food was devine, the gardens are spectacular and the service was second to none. Highly recommend this venue!

Fernhill were absolutely amazing during the whole process from start to finish when we were planning our wedding. Caroline was so flexible and accommodated all of our requests. We also planned our wedding from Australia and she was very flexible with times for us to skype to discuss the wedding etc. On the day we didn't have to lift a finger, they were so organised and we had discussed the set up of the whole venue prior. We had our ceremony in the gardens and it was absolutely stunning and picturesque. We had drinks reception in the marquee which was stunning and they accommodated us having our speeches down there too. The reception was held in their function hall and was set up to perfection. The food was absolutely amazing, we decided to pay extra to have the steak option and we were not disappointed, everyone was commenting on how amazing the food was. Their service was fantastic and unfaultable. We were treated as though we were the only ones in the world getting married (and not that they do this every weekend). I could not rate Fernhill high enough, they are amazing!

We have only all positive things to say about fernhill and their staff , we had a great experience there for our wedding last July and would recommend the hotel and beautiful location to future couples

Caroline and the O'Neill family, particularly Michael and Neill were superb to deal with right from our very first meeting with them. Meetings and discussions for organising the room set up were very well organised and would put you at ease knowing the level of detail they go into. The room decor exceeded our expectations. Complimentry Moposa access was very helpful for table plan.The food and service were top clas and all dietary requirements were pro-actively and tastefully catered for. The gardens and marquee were fantastic, they were a great addition to the day. The whole day and night went brilliantly, there isn't anything we would change. Thanks to Michael Snr for joining our sing song later in the night also!

We highly recommend fernhill house as a wedding venue especially as it was for us for a civil ceremony....the option was there to hold ceremony in the garden or in the marquee ..We chose the marquee which was totally prepared for the day by the hotels owners and the hotels own wedding planner caroline. The venue took our breath away when we saw it on the day from the red carpet lined by candles to the beautiful altar decorated with candles and flowers all provided by the hotel ..The marquee was then turned around in the blink of an eye to the venue for our drinks reception. Our guests enjoyed cocktails and hot canapés there while we had our photographs done in the beautiful designed garden. Dinner was then served "westcork" style in the main hotel and by that I mean abundant servings of beautiful fresh local products...what then followed was a night of danceing late into the night only broken by the arrival of "fish &chips"around 11 pm to keep us going..i cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. It is easy to see that it is a family run hotel as you ar treated just like family the whole way through with also the use of the hotel own wedding planner at the end if the phone should you need her. I want to take this opportunity to thank the staff for making our special day so effortless..best wishes violet &.denis x

We had our reception in beautiful Fernhill House Hotel on 28th April 2017. Caroline our wedding coordinator was more then helpful in the run up to the big day & as for the O'Neill family, they treated us like royalty from start to finish.
We chose this venue because of its beautiful, unique setting, warm & welcoming atmosphere, beautiful menu options & the fact that it's family owned and it shows.

The food was second to none & we had such an amazing choice it was hard to finally settle on our menu as all dishes were exquisite.
We can't recommend Fernhill highly enough & we just wish we could have our day all over again.
Best of luck future couples xxx

We had an amazing day & the hotel & staff could not have been more helpful.
I would recommend Fernhill Hotel to anymore for their wedding big or small.

Ruth Anna is a fantastic bridal makeup artist. Her artist flare and beautiful personality are well merged to create a wonderful experience for your big day. Having Ruth Anna there the morning off gave an air of positivity and calm. Her presence alone lights up a room.

Every member of my bridal party were thrilled with their makeup. She captured their natural beauty's with gorgeous neutral tones. I loved my makeup and how it looked in the photographs.

I have recommended Ruth Anna to many people for their big day.

This venue and staff were amazing and made our wedding day so incredible special. Would highly recommend fernhill to anyone looking for a beautiful venue. food was amazing staff were incredible. location is beautiful.

We were so happy that we choose Fernhill House Hotel for our Wedding. The food was amazing , venue was perfect and the staff were so professional yet gave a very personal service .

We were so lucky to have had our wedding in Fernhill. It was such an amazing day with the ceremony outside in the sun, drinks in the marquee and meal in the function room. We have had so many comments on the beautiful venue from our guests and one or two are now even considering booking it themselves!
Caroline and Neil were incredibly helpful and positive from the moment we met them and were extremely flexible. The staff on the day set out all our little decorations in the most professional way, and Michael the owner ferried guests around in his golf cart!
The food was of a very high standard - not your typical 'wedding food' at all! We stayed up playing music and having fun in the residents bar until the early hours of the morning and the bar staff were very patient with us.
Our only wish is that we could go back and relive the day all over again!

Hotel,gardens and food were amazing. Quality of service we found to be lacking however,as communication levels between staff members and between staff and us were low and crucially,they did not follow through on certain things we were promised and offered no apologies for not doing so. Such a shame as it would have been the perfect 5star wedding had they kept their promises. :-(

Our wedding reception in Fernhill House hotel was truely amazing. From start to finish all our needs were catered for. While they could not control the weather and even though the rain was torrential the hotel were still fantastic and the rain certainly did not dampen our experience. They cracked a bottle of champers when we arrived, when we cut the cake and had a bottle chilled for us in the bridal suite. The food was fine dining at its best. All in all I can't praise this hotel enough. Thanks to all the staff.

Attended wedding as guests. Had a wonderful day. Staff attended to everything in a professional and relaxed manner. Service was excellent and setting beautiful. Would certainly recommend it to others.

From day one dealing with all the team in fernhill was fantastic. Lynn and I could not have been more pleased with the level of service and expertise afforded to us by each and every member of staff in Fernhill. We really had no worries leading up to and on our big day. Everything was taken care of down to the smallest details.
I can't recommend Fernhill enough. Their professionalism, customer service and general demeanour is a credit to the O'Neill's and each and every staff member employed by them.
Thanks for making our big day so special and our build up so hassle free.

Richard & Lynn Scally

I can't recommend Fernhill House Hotel highly enough. We had our ceremony and reception in the hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. The gardens and rooms were beautiful. Having had our special day there I can't imagine anywhere else that would have been as memorable. Thank you

We got married here in July 2016 and I cannot speak highly enough of this venue. The welcome we received on our first viewing of the venue from Caroline won us over and the pre-wedding communication and organisation was A+ without any stress. The staff could not have been more accommodating and professional and went over and above their call of duty in so many ways; things you just would not get in another hotel i.e. using their own cars to transports guests from the hotel to the marquee because of the rain, the owner giving us a few bars in the residents lounge at 4am! Their friendliness, alertness and efficiency made our day run seamlessly well. Next, the food! Wow! The presentation, the choice, the quality and the abundance meant each and every guest was catered for and staff accommodated many dietary requirements with no fuss. Lastly the venue was pristine. There was not a leaf out of place in the gardens, the flowers and colours are the perfect setting for photos and the marquee and dining room were stunning. Could go on with positives forever but to sum up I would not have changed a single thing about the day. Fantastic from start to finish! Thanks to the O'Neills and their crew at Fernhill for a day we will never forget!

Absolutely fantastic wedding hotel. Beautiful setting, food is amazing & management & staff are all lovely to deal with. We are delighted we choose Fernhill for our wedding.

The team at Fernhill did an outstanding job for our wedding reception, the service we received was excellent and the food was outstanding. The staff provided excellent service both prior to and on our wedding day and we were very happy with how the whole day went.

Fantastic Day, despite the bad weather, the Hotel Management and Staff made sure it did not impact on our day, they could not have been more helpful, food and service was fantastic.I would reccommend you go and have a look at Fernhill House Hotel before you decide on your venue. Top Class Venue .

A truly fantastic day. The hotel and gardens were looking immaculate as always. The family run etiquette shone through at all times in the build-up to the big day and made us both feel confident we were in good hands.

The marquee for the pre-drinks reception on the beautiful gardens is the icing on the cake and went down extremely well with the guests.The ball room was stunning and the bridal suite and guest rooms were extremely comfortable.

We also availed of the marquee for the day after the wedding for a barbecue with many of our family, friends and their children and this was a fitting end to a great weekend in Fernhill House.

The service throughout both days was astounding and anything we had requested in the lead up or on the big day itself was not only met but exceeded expectations.

We would recommend this hotel to any couple for their special day and can say with utmost confidence they will not be disappointed.

Thanks to everyone at Fernhill for an amazing weekend.

Richard and Eilish

For us,we couldn't have asked for a better host and venue for our wedding!
They made our day so relaxing and they were so helpful throughout the lead up to the wedding.
Every guest complimented the food,service and beautiful gardens & marquee.
The day went so smoothly and this coud not have been possible without the O Neill family and their years of expertise.
We highly recommend this as the top wedding venue in the West Cork area.

The staff at Fernhill were amazing leading up to and the day of our wedding. They were Friendly, hard working and catered-for all our guests needs.
Everyone spoke to me about how much food and drink they got on the day and there was no shortage of it which is always a good sign of a wedding.
The drinks reception was beautiful, and all my guests enjoyed it especially the children as they could run around the gardens.
Fernhill were easy to work with and found the whole experience a pleasure.
On the lead up to the day, we would get emails saying this is what we need to do next ect and it made organising the wedding easier.
Also they responded quickly to any queries we had.

Fernhill was a fantastic venue. I am the fourth girl in my family to have chosen it for our wedding reception. The staff are so accommodating and helpful and caroline (the wedding coordinator) is a dream. A number of our guests commented that the meal was the best meal they have ever eaten at a wedding. The gardens are just beautiful for photographs, day or night. Even though it was raining on the day of our wedding, we were still able to take photos in the gardens and neil and Mike very helpfully drove us down in the golf buggy. The bridal suite is also stunning. The service is really second to none. We honestly couldn't recommend Fernhill as a venue highly enough. You don't have to worry about anything if you are going there!

I cannot praise Fernhill House Hotel and Gardens highly enough. From the moment we first viewed the venue we met with friendliness and professionalism. The wedding coordinator, Caroline is an absolute gem and no query or concern was too small to be dealt with. All our planning and most importantly, the wedding day, moved along seamlessly thanks to the wonderful staff. Every member of the Fernhill team were absolutely outstanding. All our guests were complimenting us on the food, the service and the venue as a whole. They really and truly gave us the most perfect day.

Myself and my husband Sean got married in this hotel in march 2013. From the second we went to view the hotel we were blown away by it. The location the staff the food absolutely everything was more than perfect. We cannot recommend this hotel enough.
The guests that were at our wedding still talk about the food they got at our wedding and what a fantastic day they had. We recommend this hotel to everyone and can never say enough good things about it.

Fernhill House Hotel was the perfect location for our wedding. The staff were excellent and Caroline made sure that our day was perfect from start to finish. Everything we asked for we got. The venue looked amazing on the day and the meal was absolutely delicious. If we were to do it all again we wouldn't change a thing. Couldn't recommend the venue highly enough it's top class.

On behalf of ourselves and our guests, we'd like to extend our sincere thanks to the O'Neill family and Caroline as well as all the staff of Fernhill for making our special day so enjoyable and memorable. The marquee turned out to a wonderful location for guests to 'mix and mingle' and to admire the beautiful gardens. The food was delicious and bountiful. All of the tables were served simultaneously in an efficent and curteous manner by the team. The quality of the meal and service is something we are still hearing about from guests. The fish and chips went down a treat as well with both night guests and those who had previously felt full but are used to visiting a chipper after a long day's drinking. Everyone's needs (including those found wandering the corridors at 7am) were well looked after. It was a pleasure too to relax and ruminate over it all the following morning in the comfortable surrounds of the lounge. If we were to do it all over again we wouldn't even bother to check out another hotel.So thanks again and we hope to be the recipients of invites to many weddings in Fernhill in the future.

Our wedding was on 1st Oct 2010. We chose Fernhill as our reception venue and it contributed greatly to our wonderful day. We knew from it's great reputation that we were in safe hands. Caroline and Teresa were a great help during the planning stages and on the day itself. We were lucky enough to get to use the marquee for our drinks reception. All the guests were impressed with it as it really kept the crowd together and was something different not available at other hotels. Also the younger guests had loads of room to run around the gardens! Every course of the meal was delicious and the personalised menus, complete with photo, were a lovely touch. The guests are still raving about the food (both quality and quantity!) and they couldn't believe the efficiency of the table service. Military is the only word to describe it!! Many people have told us it was the best meal they ever had at a wedding. Everything to do with the hotel is professional but you also get the very important personal touch. We would like to extend a massive thank you to all the staff for making our day so special. There is not one second we would change.

A huge thanks for the wonderful job at our wedding!! Everything was amazing and I couldn't have asked for more. People were raving about the food, loads of guests told me it was d best meal they have ever had at a wedding!! The room was beautiful and the reception was perfect! Thanks again for all d work you did and I'm delighted we picked Fernhill as our wedding venue!! Regards

We were married on 21 August 2010. Our wedding reception was held in Fernhill House Hotel, Clonakilty. We are currently on honeymoon but have taken time out to acknowledge the truly fantasic job that Teresa and Michael O'Neil did to make our special day so much more than special.
Teresa has a keen eye for detail and no request was too much. She helped us enormously both in the preparations and on the day. The service that the O'Neil family and their staff provided was professional, personal and second to none.
Our drinks reception was held in the spacious marquee while our photos were taken in the adjoining gardens. This meant that we were alongside our guests at all times. The meal was absolutely magnificent with real West Cork helpings. We received so many compliments afterwards on our choice of venue and meal.
The evening food was as top quality as the main meal with a few surprises thrown in. If you want a reception with a difference - choose this hotel.
We would recommend this hotel to anyone that is looking for a wedding venue that will make their special day 'memorable' for all the right reasons. This hotel is definitely one of the top wedding venues in Ireland. A sincere thank you to the O'Neil family.

Thanks so much to everyone in Fernhill House for making our wedding such an amazing day. We received so many compliments from people on the choice of hotel, the grounds and marquee were stunning and the food was UNBELIEVABLE. Caroline was a great help in organising the wedding and made everything seem easy, no request was too big and no question went unanswered. Michael, Theresa, Neil and all the staff couldn't have done more to help us enjoy our day and everything was perfect. Words can't explain what the day meant to us and we really did have the best day of our lives. Thanks again to all the staff at Fernhill...

We just want to thank you, Theresa, Michael, Neil and staff so much for the wonderful weekend we spent at Fernhill. We had a fantastic wedding day and have received nothing but compliments about the food, service and the hotel since the wedding.
?
We will, without doubt be returning to the hotel for dinner or hopefully someone elses wedding so we can enjoy the marquee and hotel without the stress of our own day!
?
Thanks again

After a long day of visiting hotels, searching for that special wedding venue we arrived at Fernhill House. We were greeted by Teresa the proprietor, with a welcoming smile and served tea and home-made scones. That was it, our minds were made up. !!!!It is those little touches that create the unique family-like warm atmosphere of Fernhill. Teresa seems to present an almost maternal interest in you and your wedding day, and Caroline the wedding co-ordinator is as helpful and warm as that extra bridesmaid!
But it is not just the fabulous staff that helped make our day so special. One of my favourite memories of the big day was the drinks reception held in the marquee-another unique feature of the hotel. It is situated in the middle of the beautifully landscaped gardens. Guests mingled and enjoyed a relaxed drinks reception in the beautiful sunshine, (We were blessed!!!!). Meanwhile our photographer was able to get some great snaps in the gardens.
We had heard of the great reputation Fernhill has for food and I am glad to say we were not disappointed!!!Guests from the wedding are still talking about the meal that was served up on the day, many saying it was the best meal they ever received at a wedding. There was a great choice when choosing the menu, guests were given plenty, and service and presentation was second to none!!!!
I can't praise Fernhill, Teresa, Caroline and all the staff enough for making our wedding day so very special and memorable. Nothing was too much trouble and they really took the pressure off with all the preparations.
The morning after our wedding, I was almost surprised at the buzz around the hotel as they were all busily preparing for that days wedding. The care and attention we were given had us almost convinced that we were the only couple to have ever gotten married in Fernhill!!! And at the end of the day, isn't that the way that every bride and groom wants to be made feel!! Thank you Fernhill!
