Boutique Entertaining

Romantic Special occasions

Cotter House caters for romantic special occasions.  Enjoy privacy, charm, ambiance and exquisite food.

The house offers an ideal setting for intimate gatherings and inspired entertaining  as well as the seclusion required for corporate retreats. 

Cotter House is not an event centre nor an entertainment facility. As a private retreat, it  offers its guests the convenience of combining  accommodation and  exclusive venue usage to fully enjoy the company of friends and family. 

We are always busy creating for our guests and off shore clients fairytale weddings, honeymoon celebrations,  fabulous in house drinks or cocktail parties,  or sumptuous silver served dinner parties.

Message:

Our two recent stays at Cotter House were exceptional. We felt totally pampered and spoilt by Gloria (the best host anyone could have). Gloria you made both our special occasions totally memorable and the "Titanic Dinner" as served to first class on the Titanic on 14 April 1912 was absolutely SPLENDID.
