For those who would like to visit other areas of Ireland: (Cliffs of Moher, Game of Thrones tour, Cork, Belfast, etc.) we recommend coming the beginning of the week to give yourselves enough time to do those activities before the wedding.

We recommend our guests get there that day if they would like to explore the estate or take an excursion to Glendalough.

Answer

For those who want the most flexibility, we recommend renting a car while in Ireland.
