Courtyard in Ferns

20/04/2026: We booked the old Deanery for a special birthday weekend celebration and honestly couldn't have enjoyed it more. The accommodation was excellent, every facility you could wish for, very comfortable and all our guests felt instantly relaxed. Bryanna was so friendly, helpful and flexible in helping organise and recommend various activities (including a super musician Eugene Watters) and all the catering needed 0 and firing up the sauna! The Deanery is perfect for a group of 20-25 people - with plenty to do nearby in the historic (former capital of Leinster) and the historic adjacent village of Ferns (featuring the graves of Father Murphy and the dastardly villain King Diarmait Mac Murchada!). We'll be back!

30/03/2026: We just spent a weekend for a hen party. We could not fault The Old Deanary. Bryanna was a pleasure to deal with and gave great suggestions for the weekend. The cottages are rustic and cosy with comfortable beds, hot showers and kitchens. The barn area was perfect for our meals and dancing the night away. We didn’t even need our own decorations as it was already so well done. Everything you could need is available on site with Ferns village only a 3 minute drive if you need extra supplies. The wine cellar was a beautiful location for the prosecco reception and also decorated. The group could enjoy their Saturday now by having a walk of the grounds and lovely gardens, or enjoying the sauna which is was such a treat to knock off the cobwebs. The venue is exclusive to your group and gated so it’s super secure. We had such a good time here. We recommend to any future brides, family reunions or any group gathering. It really is perfect!! Thank you again Bryanna!
