When planning a wedding at Tankardstown House, couples often dream about more than just one unforgettable day. Increasingly, weddings are becoming full weekend celebrations. A chance to gather family and friends, slow down, and savour every moment together.
That’s where College Hill House becomes the perfect addition to your Tankardstown wedding experience.
Located just moments from Tankardstown House in the heart of the Boyne Valley, College Hill House offers an elegant, private retreat for couples and their guests before, during, and after the big day.
A Private Space to Prepare for the Big Day
The morning of your wedding should feel calm, exciting, and completely your own. College Hill House offers exactly that.
With its beautifully restored Georgian interiors, spacious guest rooms, and peaceful countryside surroundings, the house provides an ideal setting for bridal party preparations. Whether it’s hair and makeup with your closest friends, a quiet coffee before the celebrations begin, or a champagne toast with family, College Hill House allows couples to enjoy those meaningful moments in total privacy.
Unlike busy hotel environments, the atmosphere here feels relaxed and exclusive — giving everyone space to settle in and truly enjoy the anticipation of the day ahead.
Its proximity to Tankardstown House also means you’re only minutes away from the ceremony and celebrations, allowing for a seamless and stress-free transition from morning preparations to “I do.”
The Ideal Accommodation for Family & Friends
One of the greatest luxuries during a wedding weekend is having your favourite people together in one place.
College Hill House offers nine beautifully appointed guest bedrooms that work perfectly for immediate family, bridal parties, or close friends who want to stay nearby while still enjoying a more intimate setting. The property combines historic charm with modern comfort, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels more like a private country residence than traditional guest accommodation.
For couples hosting destination weddings or welcoming guests travelling from abroad, having additional nearby accommodation is invaluable. While Tankardstown House offers luxurious on-site accommodation across the Manor House, Cottage Suites, and Lodge accommodations, College Hill House provides an elegant extension to the overall wedding experience for larger family groups and guests.
The result is a wedding weekend that feels connected, relaxed, and beautifully hosted from beginning to end.
Extend the Celebration Beyond the Wedding Day
Some of the most memorable wedding moments happen after the formal celebrations are over.
The day after your wedding offers the perfect opportunity to slow down, relive the highlights, and spend more quality time with loved ones before everyone heads home. College Hill House creates an ideal setting for those relaxed post-wedding gatherings.
Guests can enjoy strolls through the gardens, or informal catch-ups in the elegant communal spaces. The peaceful countryside setting encourages everyone to unwind after a busy celebration, transforming your wedding into a true weekend escape rather than a single-day event.
For couples looking to host a casual day-two gathering, College Hill House adds another layer of warmth and hospitality to the Tankardstown experience, with in house catering available.
