Castlemartyr, County Cork

We had our wedding last month in the wonderful Castlemartyr. Where Do I start firstly I want to mention Jackie Day our wedding coordinator she made the whole process so seamless and was so quick to respond to any emails I sent her with any queries or worries I had. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. No request was too big or small and the day went without a hitch because Jackie was behind the scenes making sure every thing ran so smoothly. Myself and my husband were treated like the only couple getting married here from the day we choose the venue , our menu tasting etc. All our guests are still raving about the food comparing it to a Michelin Star restaurant standard and there was also comments about wine was constantly topped up which is always a good thing to hear at an Irish wedding ;) We felt that we got great value for money as there is so much included in the package and was worth every penny. Our family and all our guests are were treated so well over the whole weekend we were there and we can't thank all the team at Castlemartyr enough. A special mention to Trevor also who was a star and a pure gent. My husband said to me on our honeymoon that he wants to get married all over again just to experience the great day we had:)

Amazing! We cannot thank our coordinators, Elaine and Kay, and all the staff at Castlemartyr enough for the kindness, courtesy and expertise shown to make our wedding day a day to remember. Castlemartyr Resort is spectacular with beautiful gardens and the staff were so welcoming. With the beautiful hotel and grounds we chose to do our photographs on site and they turned out beautiful and it also gave us more time to spend with our guests. From the outset everyone was a pleasure to deal with, so enthusiastic and warm. Honestly, we could not have asked for a nicer, kinder and more hard working team of people to help us through our special day. The feedback from our guests was out of this world, they said the food, atmosphere and staff were amazing and they couldn’t do enough for them on the day, one thing that was so important to us I cannot recommend Castlemartyr Resort enough Shirley

I can't stress enough how much I recommend Castlemartyr. We had our wedding there a couple of weeks ago, and the day couldn't of gone more perfectly. The staff were incredibly attentive, welcoming, and helpful, at a moments notice. Jackie and her team were so facilitating, nothing was too much trouble and the welcome that our guests also received was second to none. Everyone of our gusts commented on the quality of the food, the rooms and the attention to detail from the staff. The wedding room itself was absolutely perfect. No detail was overlooked and Jackie worked tirelessly along side us to make it the most special day of our lives. If you are looking for a wedding venue I 100% recommend Castlemartyr!!!

I can not recommend castlemartyr resort enough for anyone booking a wedding the staff were so easy friendly and helpful . I never felt stressed at any stage and nothing was a problem for Jackie and her team ... even when there was last minute changes nothing was a problem and myself and my husband had such an amazing memorable day

"Wedding" The Castlemartyr hotel is quite simply superb! The hotel itself is truly five star and the staff would get seven if I could give it. Wonderful stay all around. The hotel room was huge, beds are top quality and quilts are so so soft. Bathroom was best I’ve ever seen with separate shower, toilet cubicle and bath and twin sinks. To be honest the staff made the stay. There was not a single request that was too much, always available and so courteous ...really made us feel like royalty.

"A Stay at the CastleMartyr Resort" A most charming Irish family wedding brought me to the fabulous Co Cork setting of CastleMartyr. A Carmelite monastery originally, CastleMartyr is now a luxurious high class nature/golf/event host of the highest caliber. 3 sets of couples stayed in one of the cottages about 1/2 mile walk from the main hotel/resort. The grounds are Co Cork lush soil splendid. Horses graze in fields. The Road to our luxurious cottage took us past an elegant golf course, stables and a deciduous forest. Subsequent walks along trails led by by forests with copses of wild garlic, wild flowers, lakes, streams. The walks and trails alone seem beloved by young Irish families eating picnics!! The cottages are new, spacious, all en suite, great beds, enormous and well equipped kitchen area, fridge, dish washer. The houses are warm. Bathrooms are modern and functionally excellent. Grouped together the cottages all have outdoor patios with furniture perfect for late night conversations and early morning cups. Being Irish, we all meandered next door for some great food! Other close family members stayed at the main resort house. The room and bed can only be described as magnificent. Flawless, style, en suite all with openings onto patios, perfect for sunset or a morning cuppa! The wedding banquet food, event, dining and dancing went well into the wee hours in a spacious event room. Food was great! Breakfast following morning equally great! The hallways of the resort are bedecked with artwork, intriguing wooden animal sculptures. Each turn is a feast for the eyes. I am informed the swimming pool was very classy! One uniquely elegant lounge area has a ceiling that must come from the Carmelite past. The moldings and sculpture work in the ceiling is a treasure in itself!! A modern and stunning golf club hosted one post wedding event. If you're a golfer, you would be well pleased! A welcoming, relaxing, fun experience in Co Cork! Highly, highly recommended.

"Wedding/short break" We were invited to a friends wedding in Cork, Ireland and the reception was being held at Castlemartyr, so we booked to stay at the hotel for three nights. The hotel is located in East Cork which is about 20 minute drive from Cork Airport. The hotel is lovely, set in its own land with the remains of the Castle still standing. There is a lake and fields with horses and a very well kept golf course. The hotel is clean and has everything you’d expect from a 5 star hotel, the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and were always willing to assist. We were very fortunate with the weather and had clear blues sky’s for the fours days we were there. The rooms are clean and tidy with comfortable beds. My only criticism of the room was that the fridge was not working and the lighting system is a bit confusing. The lights are either all on or all off. But apart from that, lovely hotel with beautiful surroundings. The wedding reception was hosted very well and the service by the young staff was very good. The food was a very high standard. Highly recommend this hotel and not forgetting beautiful Ireland. I hope to return soon.
