Castle Murray House Hotel

Beautifully located overlooking the sea and the ruined castle from which it takes its name (and which is floodlit at night, making an atmospheric outlook from the restaurant), Martin and Marguerite Howley’s small hotel makes a superb venue for a wedding of character and, if they are lucky, guests coming from afar will stay for a few days and absorb the magic of the area. There is a pretty church at Bruckless, 2km away, and wedding blessings are also possible in this lovely place.

The emphasis is on relaxation, quiet hospitality and good food - although there is a good choice, seafood has always been the speciality here, especially in summer, and it is superbly fresh - and, although not particularly luxurious, the accommodation offered is interesting, fairly-priced and very comfortable. Complimentary accommodation is not offered to the bride and groom, but they receive a voucher for a return visit.
