The 18th Century Georgian Walter Raleigh Boutique Hotel is spectacularly located on the seafront promenade in the famous heritage town of Youghal in East Cork. The gateway to Ireland's Ancient East.
An easy commute from Cork City, Youghal, with its magnificent seven kilometre Blue Flag sandy beach, golf course, superb fishing on the Blackwater, sea angling and major visitor attractions close by, has always been a favourite holiday destination, and now the town has another reason to visit.
The tranquil setting and beautiful scenery surrounding the Walter Raleigh Hotel offer the perfect backdrop for your wedding day. Youghal’s inviting Green Park with panoramic coastal views provides exciting opportunities for beautiful photographs. From the early stages of planning to the big day, you’ll find that our professional management team is able to offer invaluable advice on all aspects of this memorable occasion, to make your wedding in Youghal and East Cork just perfect.
You will arrive at the Walter to our red carpet welcome and receive a celebratory drinks reception, tea, coffee and freshly baked fruit scones with strawberry jam and cream. Your guests will be free to enjoy our foyer area and The Walter bar.
The ballroom will be styled for your banquet using our silver candelabras including candles, table mirrors, tale vases with linen floral displays. The chairs will be fitted with white covers and ivory sashes. A fairy lit backdrop will be installed behind the top table to provide that special day effect. Your menu will be designed with our executive chef after you have enjoyed your tasting menu.
We will detail and agree the full serving plan for your wedding banquet and incorporate any individual requests as required such as vegetarian, coeliac or other special dietary needs. We will professionally serve wine and champagne be it yours or ours to your guests if required. We will provide late night food for your guests and we offer a complimentary bar extension so that you and your guests can dance the night away. You will enjoy the complimentary use of the bridal suite along with two additional double rooms for the wedding night. The Walter Raleigh Hotel is a family run hotel and we welcome children of all ages.
