Accommodation details are up!

(revised...)

Hi all,

Use the links on the right to view the wedding information pages

Please ensure you read "General wedding info" and "Ballykealey Manor Accommodation" before reading the rest

Also, a look at the Maps page will prove useful before using the accommodation pages below it - so you'll know where the towns are located

Note the following important points...
  • Please make your Ballykealey Manor booking through us. Once you're booked in, they'll need a credit card to secure your booking so we'll ask you to contact them. All their contact details are provided in our Ballykealey Manor page.
  • Please make your own bookings for all other accommodation.
  • We strongly suggest booking your flights and accommodation as soon as possible, so as to get the best choice and deals. It's a bank holiday weekend so things will book up sooner rather than later
  • If you need help grouping up to share car hire and/or accommodation we're happy to assist
