1. Oakwood Cottages, Darver 
There is limited accommodation available for our guests in Oakwood Cottages located just outside the main castle entrance approximately stumbling distance from Darver Castle.
These cottages contain 12 double en-suite rooms & there is a lobby area with tea and coffee facilities.

2. The Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dundalk 
We expect the majority of guests will stay in The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dundalk, only 4 miles away.
The Crowne Plaza provides a shuttle bus to & from Darver Castle on the day of the wedding.
This will leave from outside The Crowne Plaza Hotel on the afternoon of the wedding at approximately 2.30pm sharp to ensure guests arrive in time for the ceremony starting at 3pm.
The bus will then be on hand from around midnight to make trips back over to the hotel as required.

The after—party
We also plan to stay in the The Crowne Plaza, Dundalk on the night after our wedding - Friday 30th Sept. If you fancy continuing the high jinx, we'd love you to join us.
The Crowne Plaza boasts a roof-top restaurant with panoramic views of the surrounding Cooley Mountains & Peninsula. We've also heard The Stout is tip-top.
No formalities required — just rock up with your good craic trousers on!
