Fernhill House Hotel

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. They have such amazing employees, I was amazed of how wonderful and helpful each and every staff member was for me and my family for our occasion. So I would like to begin to thank the chefs as the food was 5* our meal was incredible. Thank you to all the waitresses on our day that worked tirelessly. Our food was served by staff that were very friendly and timely, bar staff were amazing so polite and helpful. The lady’s at front desk were so attentive. The reservation manager Valda also made sure everyone was happy and that everything was correct with guest bookings. The House keeping team are impeccable they keep the hotel beautifully clean and well stocked. They provided for any need a guest would have.

To the O’Neill family, our wedding coordinator Ann and all your staff we just want to thank you for providing us with our dream wedding.

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!

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.

Fernhill is an outstanding venue, I would highly recommend to any couple. The service is 10/10, nothing was too much to ask for, Ann the wedding planner responds quickly to any query. The food is amazing, drinks were fab. Hotel itself is gorgeous. We had our ceremony on the grounds and it was beautiful. The venue work well with suppliers. Everything was on time and efficient. I can't recommend fernhill enough. Thank you to fernhill for everything.

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.

I couldn't recommend Fernhill House Hotel enough as a wedding venue. From start to finish our whole day was amazing, the staff and management were all so helpful and accommodating.

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.

We had our wedding and day 2 celebrations in Fernhill in April 2023. From the minute we booked it 2 years previous, everything was an absolute breeze. From food to accommodation to the staff, everything was just so easy and laid back and we had total trust that the day would be amazing and it was. Special thanks to Ann who does great work behind the scenes and all the staff at Fernhill and the O Neill family. It is so obvious why ye are winning awards left, right and centre. Alot of my guests have also been raving about the venue and food ever since. Thank you so much for such a great weekend!!!

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!

Ann and the team in Fernhill are top class; from the time we first viewed the hotel we knew it was the venue we wanted for our wedding. Ann was superb from the outset, no question was left unanswered no matter how trivial and she was always so quick to respond. No ask was too big or too small. She put us at ease from the beginning and we just knew the coordination of our wedding was in the safest and most expert of hands. She knew just when to advise us if we were unsure or undecided on anything and she definitely gave us great guidance when it came to menu selection, timings etc. Her wealth of wedding experience shone through and it was our experience with Ann at our first viewing that was a key factor in our decision to select Fernhill. We just knew we would be looked after.
The venue itself is amazing. We got married close to Christmas and the hotel was so tastefully decorated it really added to the atmosphere. The function room is beautifully decorated with the year round fairy lights adding a magical cosy feel to the dinner setting. The service that we received was excellent. Two weeks on from our wedding our guests are still telling us how brilliant the service was throughout the day , all asks were catered to and everyone is still talking about how good the food was. We knew Fernhill did excellent food from our own previous experience with the hotel but to have a large number of our wedding guests go out of their way to make sure they told us ?it was the best meal they had at a wedding in a long time? really reminded us just how good Fernhill are when it comes to food. The quality of their food is certainly not impacted by crowds as we had 200 sit down to our meal. Even beyond the food and service the whole setting is fantastic with many of our guests enjoying the wonderful gardens and grounds of the hotel the following morning. Having got married in Fernhill, our only additional ask would be to do it all again! We will be attending a wedding in Fernhill again next year and we already can't wait to visit again so we have a chance to have the guest experience that all of our guests all raved about.

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

My wife Katie and I originally booked our wedding in 2019 for 2021 and like many other couples we had to make the decision to reschedule it due to COVID so our day ended up happening in October 2022 instead.
At every stage of the process Fernhill provided a level of service that could only be described as superb. Ann was our wedding coordinator and absolutely no question or request was too big or too small. We didn't feel any stress whatsoever at any stage and we always felt that we were being well looked after.
Many many of our guests are still telling us weeks later that it was the best wedding weekend they have ever been to and a huge amount of the credit for that goes to the team at Fernhill particularly Ann, Laura and Neil.
The food was incredible and always readily available - nobody will ever go hungry at Fernhill!
Our guests were treated extremely well and everyone was very happy with their accommodation.
The weather turned nasty right as we arrived at the venue but the Fernhill team made absolutely sure that not a drop of rain was spilled on our guests or on ourselves.
We couldn't possibly recommend Fernhill any higher as a wedding venue - if anything we wish that we could do it all again!

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

We had our wedding reception in Fernhill in August 2022 and we are so happy with how everything went on the day including the service before/after. The food was amazing and all our guests commented on this, especially those who hadn't been to Fernhill before. Ann was really helpful with any questions we had and provided great advice in the build up to the day. The O?Neill family were all so welcoming to our guests and we want to thank them and Ann for all the hard work to make our day so great!

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.

What can I say about Ann and her team in Fernhill!!!
Both me and my husband had the day of your dreams thanks to them. From start to finish it was flawless and we didn't have to think of anything, they did it all!!
Ann is both outstanding at her job and an outstanding person. So warm and inviting yet so professional. Any detail we had a worry about was no hassle at all and anything we wanted done was done as if they already thought of it. I really believe if our wedding was anywhere else other then fernhill it wouldn't have been the same. If only we could do it all over again. Between the drinks reception in the stunning gardens to the 10/10 dinner in hands down the most stunning dining reception which looked like it was out of a movie.
I recommend both Ann and her team to absolutely everyone as I hope someone has even a fraction of the joy we had on our day!! X

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!

There are no words to describe how amazing Fernhill is at weddings. They are just the best in the business. We booked our day in July/August 2020 for July 10 2022 and all along they have been more than accommodating, responsive and overall great with any requests that we have had!
Ann, Neil, Theresa and Michael Sr amongst others were just amazing, our day went iff without a hitch and every request we made was accommodated. The gardens are gorgeous in fair weather or not, and we had our dream wedding

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.

The most amazing hotel ever, we couldn't have asked for a better day, Fernhill were so accomodating to us, they made our dream wedding come through. We would highly recommend them. The food was amazing too which is always brill. Ann was so helpful, she went above and beyond to help us.

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.

The level of service Fernhill provided for our wedding was next to none. They gave us the must perfect wedding day from start to finish. Ann and her team were fantastic. I only wish I could do it all over again.

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!!

could not say enough about Fernhill. An amazing place and amazing staff

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 reception in Fernhill House Hotel and Gardens in November 2021 and we highly recommend them! Ann Cullinane, their wedding coordinator was so helpful when planning the wedding and on the day of the wedding. The staff at Fernhill were always professional, kind and caring. Service on the day of our wedding was incredible. Ferhill House Hotel has won many awards, and they are thoroughly deserved! They have beautiful gardens and we lovely the twinkly fairy lights in the ballroom. It was also great value for money for the high standards of food and service we received.
Fernhill House Hotel is also renowned for their high-quality food offerings. They use local products and seasonal produce as much as possible. From canapés, to dinners, to breakfast the next morning, we were served delicious food. We had a number of guests with special dietary requirements (coeliac and vegan, for example) and their food was expertly prepared and highly praised!
We had a ball on our wedding day, with thanks to Fernhill House Hotel's staff and expertise. Go raibh m?le maith agaibh! Danny & Aisling O?Keeffe

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!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding in Fernhill in September 2021. After attending many weddings here before and having always been impressed we always knew this was where we wanted to get married. We didn't need to view anywhere else.
From the first moment we met the wedding Co ordinator Ann we felt so at ease, it was clear that she loved her job & was full of helpful information and advice . No ask was too big or small.
We knew that our wedding Co ordination was in the safest of hands.
Our first wedding date was unfortunately right in the middle of covid and things were very uncertain but Ann was always so reassuring and more than helpful and secured us a 2nd date in case it was needed.
Any time we sent an email no matter what time she was always quick to respond and took the stress away.
We had a humanist ceremony on site and Fernhill had so many different options for this. Luckily the sun came out for us later that morning and we were able to have our ceremony in the gorgeous garden.
Our guests still talk about the amazing venue. The food and service was A1 as per . The standard is always incredible be it 20 or 200 people. Fernhill is such a welcoming homely hotel.
We really can't even put into words how happy we were with everything.
We will be forever thankful to Ann, Neil and the O Neill family & team for everything they did to make our day so special.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Fernhill as a wedding venue.

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.

The o Neill family,
Ann Cullinane wedding planner unbelievable helpful nothing any trouble for them hence the 5 star's

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!

Fernhill is the most amazing venue. Anne and all the staff were so lovely to deal with throughout the whole process, we had to reschedule our wedding 3 times due to covid and Anne was always at the end of the phone or email to help and reassure us. Our wedding day was perfect. The venue is stunning, food unbelievable and Anne and all the staff so lovely and accommodating. I would highly recommend them.

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 at Fernhill House in December 2020 and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of venue. From the moment we met the Wedding Coordinator Ann, everything went so smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ann made the planning so simple and enjoyable; she was always available to answer any queries we had. We had the added pressure of Covid during our Wedding but Ann and all the team at Fernhill made sure we were constantly kept in the loop and despite the restrictions we still had the best day. From the food to the Christmas decorations, everything in relation to Fernhill was perfect on our day. We couldn't recommend Fernhill enough for a wedding and having Ann as the Wedding Coordinator is an added bonus.

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.

We couldn't be more grateful to Fernhill House Hotel for our truly 5 star wedding experience. In particular we are so thankful to Ann, the wedding coordinator extraordinar, who was the cornerstone to our wonderful special day. Ann is friendly, bubbly, kind and oozes warmth; professionally she is responsive, practical, pragmatic and full of enthusiasm! I really felt that having someone like Ann, that I could rely on when planning our wedding, greatly reduced any stress we experienced!

The venue could not have done more for us. The O'Neill family were so welcoming and efficient! They maintain the hotel to a 5 star standard which was such a pleasure for our guests to experience.
Thanks to all at the wonderful Fernhill House Hotel who made our day so special. We wish we could do it all again!

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

Myself and my husband had our wedding in Fernhill on December 20th 2019 and had an amazing experience. A huge thanks to Ann, the wedding coordinator who is amazing in her role. Nothing was ever an issue and she was always on hand to offer advice. We had our wedding ceremony in the marquee on the grounds and it was so beautiful, it really is the perfect space for an intimate winter wedding ceremony and we are so glad we had it down there. All the hotel staff were absolutely fantastic from start to finish on the day. The food was incredible!! All of our guests complimented us on the reception and really really enjoyed their food!!! We would highly recommend Ann and Fernhill House for a wedding. It really is such a beautiful venue for a winter wedding!

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

Fernhill House Hotel was the prefect venue for our wedding. The whole team are so attentive and really make you feel unique and special. The food is of excellent quality and our guests are still talking about it. You would not be disappointed in choosing this venue for your special day.

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.

From the time we set foot in Fernhill and saw the grounds we knew it was the place for our wedding. We met Neil to agree our package etc and he was beyond helpful from the very outset. We then dealt with Ann the wedding co ordinator and I cannot say enough about her. They are friendly, professional and just excellent at what they do. Our day was magnificent from beginning to end. If I could change one thing it would just be to go to fern hill first and save myself time viewing the others. You cannot go wrong here!

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 wonderful to work with. Nothing was a problem. We had the most amazing day and night thanks to these guys.

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 a fantastic day. Ann is outstanding at what she does! Food was delicious staff are very helpful and friendly

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.

A+++. Couldn't recommend Fernhill House Hotel enough. We wouldn't change a thing!! Everything was fantastic.

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

Brilliant venue, incredible food and a wonderful relaxed atmosphere provided for all guests

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 got married here in August and could not have picked a better place. The O'Neil family and all their staff were just amazing. The food was absolutely fantastic. Our guest still talk about it to this day. Highly recommend this hotel to future couples.You won't be disappointed.

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!

An amazing venue run by amazing people! Would highly recommend

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!

Professional from start to finish. We enjoyed every second of our day in the knowledge that everything would run smoothly in the hands of the staff at fernhill. Food was excellent, venue was beautiful and bridal suite is luxury. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their wedding co-ordinator, Ann was fantastic and no request made was too big or too small.

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.

I had my wedding here on the 1st December 2017. It was absolutely amazing - the food was delicious, the Christmas decorations were beautiful and the reception we received from the O'Neill family was second to none. The best decision I made for my wedding was to book this as my venue. Thanks again

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

The wedding team at FernHill Hotel Clonakilty are excellent,extremely accommodating in every aspect of our wedding would recommend to any one!

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

When we walked into fernhill we were hit with a cosy fire and a very warm reception. We met with Neil who was so helpful nothing was to much trouble. We knew this was the spot for us..... all the planning was made so easy as fernhill recommended suppliers and they were just as pleasant to work with. The wedding fair is a must.The marque was incredible for the drinks reception,the spin down on the golf cart is a great hit.
All our guests were well looked after the food and sevice was fabulous on the day. We were treated like VIPS all day and it ran perfectly. Most perfect day of my life..I would happily do it all again ????

Perfect every step x

We had our wedding in Fernhill on 30th September. Fernhill is a shining example of West Cork hospitality. Caroline, Michael and Neil could not have done more for us. Everything was perfect from the moment our guests arrived right up until we left the following morning. The food, the surroundings, the set up...honestly we could be here forever listing the virtues of Fernhill. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

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.

Fernhill house hotel is a fantastic hotel for your wedding. The staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing was a problem for caroline, Neil and Michael. The food was amazing on the day and the service was perfect. The gardens are an added bonus to this hotel. Perfect for photos and drinks reception in the markee. We cannot recommend this hotel enough. Wish we could do it all over again as the day goes too fast.

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!

the o neill family cound not do enough to acccomidate us for our big day what a wonderfull place but the one thing its got that not many venues have is you are not stuck in the same hall all day the marquee is so beautifull and the taxi ride down to it by mick senior is unique could not ask for a better wedding venue lisa and stephan

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

From our first visit to Fernhill we knew that we could be confident in our decision to book this as our wedding venue. The venue itself is beautiful with plenty of comfort and photo opportunities. The management and staff were always focused on either planning or hosting our day - nothing was a problem.

We were offered a planning questionnaire so that no details were overlooked (which was valuable). We had plenty of opportunity for planning meetings and we had a taster meal.

On the day itself we were looked after without fault. Everything we had planned just unfolded seamlessly before us as we went from drinks reception to dinner, to speeches, to dancing, to resident's bar. People say getting married is stressful, but thankfully we can say that we had no stress on the day. We just handed it all over to the Fernhill and enjoyed it. So many of our guests have spoken about how they enjoyed the day, and everybody was raving about the quality of the food and the first class service.

We would have no problem recommending the Fernhill House Hotel as a premium wedding venue, where people can be confident about their special day.

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

Had a very special day at Fernhill for our wedding. Great experience and found the team there very friendly and helpful. Everything was taken care of on the day which left us worry free, lovely set up and the food is amazing. Owners greeted us and were very hands on over the evening making sure everything was in order. Great venue and lovely gardens/ marquee and views. Would recomend to anyone as have no regrets choosing Fernhill. Bedrooms were lovely and guests were very impressed with the hotel, food and staff! A great wedding venue

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.

Absolutely excellent all round. We had a wonderful day which was made all the better due to the fact that we knew that we didn't have to worry about a thing. Neil, Caroline and the family took care of everything and went above and beyond. We couldn't recommend Fernhill more. The food was also incredible and we got a lot of compliments on this after the wedding.

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 found Fernhill House Hotel Clonakilty absolutely fantastic, All staff were amazing so helpful and accommodating. All of our guests complimented the food which was delicious and how pleasant the staff were. We would definitely recommend the hotel.

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!

We cannot thank Caroline, Neil and Fernhill house enough for everything they did for us during the lead-up and on our wedding day in August. Everything was perfect from start to finish, we were lucky enough to get the weather for an outdoor ceremony in the beautiful gardens, drinks reception for our guests in the marquee and meal in the hotel - everything was set up perfectly, the staff were fantastic - we didn't have to lift a finger all day- everything was just done! Caroline was great to deal with in the year leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. And the food was amazing!
Our guests all had a fantastic day and night and I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful West Cork venue! Thank you Fernhill xxx

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.

Very many of our guests said that it was the Best hotel wedding they had ever experienced in all the weddings they had attended. Right through from the drinks reception in the fabulous marquee to the exquisite meal and the unique supper food the quality was outstanding. The attention to detail by Caroline, Niall and Michael was exceptional. We highly recommend Fernhill House Hotel.

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

My husband and I got married at Fernhill on the 15-07-16, we cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful venue. Caroline the wedding co-ordinator is extremely helpful and very friendly and approachable. I had massive insane ideas for decor and I could of went a little ott but seeing the set up fernhill provide for your special day brought me back down to earth. The staff and owners couldn't be nicer. The food and atmosphere is superb and because you have the venue booked for you and your guests the day is all your own and you forget completely that you are in cork, let alone Ireland! It's like a mini holiday.
We had a humanist ceremony and everything was very personal and the room was decorated beautifully.
I highly recommend fernhill house.
I wish them all the best for what I know will be a fantastic future.
Amy & Eddie

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!

We had a magical wedding at Fernhill. The food had the guest in raptures and the West Cork air was a treat for all the foreign guests. A real homely feel compared to the city venues and much better value for your euros.

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.

From start to finish everything about Fernhill house hotel and gardens was exceptional. The staff were amazing all the way through. They are so well organised and professional. Caroline was our wedding coordinator and she is amazing at what she does. She took care of everything for us. The whole set up was amazing from the beautiful gardens and marquee to the beautiful reception room.The food was outstanding and the menu was amazing.It really is the perfect place to have your wedding day. I would recommend Fernhill house hotel and gardens to everyone.

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

Fernhill is an excellent wedding location. The marquee reception set in the beautiful gardens adds something magical to the day. The well-maintained gardens are another alluring feature that provide a stunning background for photos. As many brides know...the meal is key to a great day and Fernhill's menu options along with the quality of food served is second to none. Fernhill offer many extra touches to add to the day-personalised menus, fish&chip shop and coloured lighting to match your theme. For an exceptional service and a unique experience, look no further than Fernhill.

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.

Fantastic venue,really have nothing but good to say about fernhill house hotel.

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.

Absolutely stunning venue. Staff are amazing, food is amazing, gardens are amazing. Cannot fault Fernhill. We had the best day of our lives.

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.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Caroline and the O?Neill family for an absolutely amazing wedding day.After a long search for the perfect venue we stumbled across the Fernhill house hotel while living abroad in New Zealand. We requested a brochure online, not really expecting a response being so far away, however within a week we received one in the post with all the information we needed. We knew straight away that this was where we wanted to have our reception. From the beautiful gardens with the marquee to the fabulously renovated hotel it had everything we wished for.
Shortly after arriving home we went to visit the hotel for Sunday lunch. The food was so amazing and the staff were so friendly there really was no doubt for us that this was the perfect hotel. We booked our date as soon as we could. In the run up to the big day Caroline and Theresa were so helpful and really made us feel at ease with all the preparations. From ideas on decorations to the menu nothing was too much trouble.
On the day itself we had such an amazing time, the whole day ran so smoothly, we didn't need to worry about anything. Caroline, Theresa, Michael, Michael jnr and Neill and all the staff looked after us so well you would think we were the only wedding they were hosting all year.We really cannot thank everyone at the Fernhill enough for making our special day so amazing. Everyone keeps talking about the food complementing it and also the service, every table was given such attention and well looked after by all the staff.Having the use of the marquee and gardens for the reception drinks really breaks up the day for the guests and there are plenty of places to go if you want to get away from the reception room while still not being far from all the action. It really is the perfect wedding venue and we only hope that someday we can return for someone else's wedding to enjoy the whole experience again.We really cannot recommend this hotel enough, it is a three star hotel with five star service, food and accommodation. We look forward to returning some day even just for Sunday lunch.Thank you everyone at the Fernhill House Hotel. You really made our day.

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.

Dear all, I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to thank you sincerely for helping make our wedding day so perfect on New Year's Eve. We had a fantastic day. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish! The help and advice that was given to us by Caroline and Teresa in the run up to the wedding helped make it the fantastic day that it was. Neil was extremely efficient and helpful on the day also! Everyone that I have spoken to since the wedding commented on how beautiful the food was and also the standard of service and Padraig and I couldn't agree more! The personalized menus were a lovely touch as were the beautiful champagne flutes! There is nothing I would change about the day. Thanks again for an outstanding day!! Kind 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.

"We were married on the 20th August 2010. We would like to thank the staff at Fernihll for making our wedding day so special. Teresa and Michael O'Neill and Caroline, fernhill's wedding planner, were so helpful and friendly to us both on the planning of our wedding day and the wedding day itself. No matter what we asked - nothing was too much.
We had fabulous weather on the day of our wedding and we availed of the marquee and the beautiful surrounding gardens. Our guests found the marquee amazing as it helped keep everyone together and people are still talking about how lovely the gardens are. We took our wedding photos in the landscaped gardens and they are truly magnificent. The meal we received was truly delicious. The service from the staff was outstanding and guests could not compliment the meal enough for its delicious flavour and taste.
For anyone that is looking for a West Cork venue for their wedding, we would strongly recommend Fernhill House Hotel for both quality of service and its uniqueness. Thank you to the O' Neill family for making our day so special."

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

There aren't enough words to express how amazing, friendly, thoughtful, efficient, professional and generally superb the O'Neil family and all the staff at Fernhill House hotel were on our wedding weekend and for all the months running up to it. We live in the UK and depended heavily on Theresa and Neil to organise our day. They fullfilled all our requests without question. We and our guests were overwhelmed by the amazing food and service. I personally did not have to worry about a single detail on the day. We had a blessing in the marquee in the beautiful gardens which was so romantic and a BBQ and sing-song there the following evening when the food was again superb. Aside from the fantastic food, service and beautiful venue the family atmosphere added to the intimacy and perfection of our day. Thank you so much.

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!

There was never any doubt in our minds that when we got engaged we wanted to have Fernhill House Hotel as our Reception venue. Mike, Theresa, Neil, Caroline and all the Staff in Fernhill made our special day just superb. Every last detail was perfection, and all our guests are still taking about the welcome they received, the marquee, the gardens and especially the food. We can't thank Fernhill enough for making our special?day magical and one we will never forget!
