Silver Birch House
Dromgarriff Estate
‘Silver Birch;she reflects the possibilities, as the spectrum of colour glistens on her white glittery face.
Her essence is to create, bring together dreams, and prepare for the new patterns of life.’
Exclusive, romantic, off the beaten path, on a magnificent waterside setting, an exceptional wedding and event destination, while affording unparalleled privacy, is how one would describe Silver Birch House, Dromgarriff Estate, Glengarriff, County Cork, Ireland.
Hidden among native Irish Oak, from the Irish “An Gleann Garbh,” meaning the rugged glen, this is a beauteous place of lakes, ancient woods, subtropical gardens, dotted with silver birch trees ‘The Lady of the Woods’ among wildflower meadows and heathers on its own 160 acre estate overlooking Glengarriff Bay.
You are welcome to explore the endless possibilities to create unforgettable memories in this mysterious, magical place.
The house has accommodation for 22 guests while the remainder of the estate can accommodate 38 in three separate houses.
You’re Private Estate in ‘A Place Apart’.
Ballyvonane House
Dunmanus Bay
‘From pole to pole should my migration bend;
Or twice around the world should they extend,
No place in all those travels could be found,
To my mind’s eye, so adequately crowned
With nature’s diadems, serene, profuse,
At these romantic and unrivaled views’ – dmc
Poetry in motion together with nature excels in this dramatic landscape, where the beauty of the sky glides over the gorse on the Sheep’s Head peninsula turning the sea to turquoise with a wake-you-up breeze, while the sea below you thunders against the rocks, the views magnificent, panoramic and breathtaking.
Overlooking Dunmanus Bay this is a location for discerning guests who want to experience the wild wide expanse of the Atlantic while being nurtured in the cosiness of a home with roaring fires and the best of West Cork produce.
You are welcome to explore the many possibilities in creating a wonderful celebration.
The house welcomes 12 guests with our remaining Dunmanus Bay properties nearby accommodating 50 guests.
Your private escape on ‘the Wild Atlantic Way’.
