About
Set on four acres of dramatic West Cork coastline along the Wild Atlantic Way, Dunowen House is a beautifully restored historic estate offering some of the most intimate and personal weddings in Ireland. Couples exchange vows beneath a 200-year-old sycamore tree with the Atlantic Ocean as their witness, before gathering in the walled garden or elegant drawing room for a reception steeped in warmth and character. With nine bedrooms sleeping up to 20 guests and capacity for up to 30, the entire property is yours exclusively — no strangers, no distractions. Hosts Kela and Stephen bring a genuinely personal touch to every celebration, with all catering prepared on-site using homegrown and local West Cork ingredients. A sanctuary for couples who crave laid-back luxury, privacy and the magic of the Irish coast.
