Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 91 reviews
Cloughjordan House is an 800 year old country house set in Co Tipperary. What began as a cookery school has now become a premium wedding venue. The cookery school was started due to Sarah Baker's passion and love of fresh and "real" food. This love of fantastically tasty local food conveys in the wedding food on offer at the venue. Cloughjordan House offers a relaxed country house party venue with the marquee seating up to 180. The romantic ballroom with it's large open fireplace is used for humanist and civil ceremonies and then comes alive after dinner for music and dancing. You can also enjoy your ceremony on the front lawn, in the forest or woodshed. There is a covered BBQ area (the Asado) where the party atmosphere can continue to make a full two or three days of fun. Cloughjordan House has accommodation for over 80 guests. At Cloughjordan House the focus is on family, friends, good quality and tasty food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Had the most wonderful time here for my daughters hen party. All health guidelines were followed and the staff were friendly and efficient. The facilities and food were amazing . The rooms in the cowshed were spotless and having the lovely huge sitting room made social distancing so easy. The breakfast the next morning was fabulous . I would love to go back and would happily recommend CJH as a venue.

My husband and I took a recent trip from the USA to Ireland for our 40th wedding Anniversary. The absolute highlight of our trip was the Burren trail ride which we booked with Cooper's Hill Equine., We have some experience riding, but are by no means seasoned riders. Right away James made us feel at ease with his sense of humor, and warm personality. All the staff were wonderful, and their love of their horses is very obvious in the way the horses were handled, and the relaxed personalities of the horses themselves. We were paired with the perfect horses for us, both very gentle with great personalities. I was on Midnight, and Bart was on Mr Eastwood. Our adventure started in the shallow water of Galway Bay, then continued up into the Burren Mountains on an ancient road that wound through the breathtaking landscape. We both highly recommend Cooper's Hill Equine to anyone that wants a special Horseback riding experience in Ireland! Special Thank You to James for taking so many wonderful photos of us of on ride.

Joined wild way cross fit unwilling as I had never been to a gym before. Buy this is completely different than what I expected. The classes are small and coach led so therefore you are learning all the time as well as improving your fitness levels. I 've gone from zero to not too bad. Holly and Anthony the two coaches are amazing people with a really good attitude and a great zest for life. Long may this place last. The members are a great bunch of people, decent, hard-working in the gym and very supportive. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to get fit, healthy and happy.
