Question

Are Children Welcome?

Answer

As much as we love your little ones, our wedding is exclusively for adults. Children are permitted to stay on the grounds if you choose to reserve a room at Castle Durrow, however, children are not to be left unattended at any point of your stay. Castle Durrow works closely with a company to provide childcare services if you choose. This must be arranged in advanced. The website provided below will assist with booking a sitter. Please contact the venue with any further questions. We are currently unaware if any of the other hotels use this service so that will need to be discussed with wherever rooms are booked. https://littlesitters.ie
