This is absolutely first class venue

This is absolutely first class venue, both rich and classy. I adore orangery with ancient fig trees cowering stony wall, and amazing ballroom with windows facing artificial waterfall and beautifully sculpted fireplace. I come there from the side of the old mill and I was welcomed by beautiful scent of burning firewood. It's definately one of the best wedding venues in Ireland.

Would do it all again 100 times out of 100.

Came from America to Cliff at Lyons for our big day and we were not disappointed. This is not a joke- like 8 of our guests said it's the best wedding they've ever been to and the venue was a big reason why (other than that my wife and I are really cool). Service was great and we appreciated the support of Floriane and team in the lead up. Zero complaints. Would do it all again 100 times out of 100.

The wedding was absolutely fabulous!

Beautiful Wedding and wonderful staff. We traveled from the U.S. with a large group of friends and family for our daughter’s wedding. The days before the ceremony were relaxing and delightful. The wedding was absolutely fabulous! The food was always delicious, the service impeccable, the rooms lovely and comfortable, and the bar was cozy great fun. We left feeling that we had the best experience possible and that the staff had each become friends.
