We got married on Inishbofin in July 2011. The island of Inishbofin is a stunning location for a wedding and the Inishbofin House Hotel is an absolutely fantastic venue.
The fact that the hotel closes during the winter months initially caused us some concern as it became evident that the staff employed when the hotel opened in the spring of 2011 were largely new staff who had no previous experience of weddings in this hotel. However, when the weekend of our wedding arrived we realised very quickly that our concerns were unfounded. The staff were incredible especially the manager Kathleen, Shane and Claire. The attention to detail, the food on the day and the service were flawless.
The bedrooms are spacious and well maintained. There is a large bright relaxation room on the first floor overlooking the front garden with magnificent sea views. It was perfect for the bridal party’s preparations on the morning of the wedding.
The function room was set up beautifully without any input from the bride or groom. The chair covers and centre pieces available in the hotel were perfect. We had a champagne reception outside on the lawn after the church ceremony (we were very lucky with the weather). Again the service, the staff availability and their reactions to different requests from our guests were exceptional.
We will remember our wedding weekend with nothing but thanks and appreciation to all of the management and staff in this hotel and we highly recommend it as a venue for any couple looking for a truly amazing wedding experience.
