An ambience of happy continuity pervades this Georgian country-house hotel, run by the O’Neill family over four generations. With luxurious public and event spaces, and gardens landscaped by Chelsea gold medal winner Mary Reynolds, it is a thriving wedding venue. Bedrooms, some with balcony, are tastefully decorated. Opened in 2025, 16 new suites have floor-to-ceiling windows, Sanderson fabrics, bespoke headboards. The walled kitchen garden and orchard supply the restaurant with ingredients for dishes such as slow-cooked lamb shank with red wine and rosemary jus, while fish and seafood are landed nearby on the Wild Atlantic way. For more casual dining or a glass of Fernhill Garden Gin, head for the bar.
