The Big Day Why Schull?

The village of Schull holds a very special place in the hearts of all who have been lucky enough to experience its welcome. There are many reasons why couples choose Schull for the most important day of their lives, more often than not it's because important memories have been made here. Couples love to return to the source of some of their happiest days to celebrate once again. Perhaps your husband's grandparents are third generation locals who farmed lands near Goleen, or your wife's family have a holiday home here and she spent her summers sailing across the harbour. Did you get engaged in West Cork while visiting Mizen Head or have you simply been lucky enough to live here all of your life? What ever the reason for choosing Schull, we at The Schull Harbour Hotel are here to ensure you and your guests have the most memorable visit to this incredible place.

During your stay with us, all guests will have complimentary access to Deep Blue, our state of the art Leisure Club.
