Been invited to a wedding or event at Tullyveery? We look forward to welcoming you!
In this post we’ll provide some useful information including local accommodation options, navigation and local taxi numbers.
Background
Tullyveery remains a private family home and is only open to invited guests during events. If for some reason you need to visit us in advance or after the event you are attending please drop us an email or give us a call to arrange a time in advance.
Transport
Tullyveery is situated about 30 minutes from Belfast, in the south County Down countryside. Unless your hosts have arranged transport (e.g. a private coach), you will need to plan ahead with arranging transport to/from the venue as there are no Ubers and Taxis can book up in advance.
When getting dropped off, ask the taxi to stop at the front of the main house where you will be greeted and directed to the main reception area.
If you are coming from/returning to Belfast, you are best booking in advance with Value Cabs.
However, if you are coming from/travelling to somewhere in the vicinity (e.g. to one of the excellent local B&Bs), then we would suggest one of the following local taxis:
- VC Cabs (Crossgar) – 07974 260 597
- Downpatrick Taxis – 02844 614 515
- Killinchy Private Hire – 07761 762 629
Accommodation
Tullyveery is not a hotel venue and hence we do not have accommodation on site for guests. There are however lots of excellent B&Bs available within a few minutes drive.

- Dunnanelly House (07712779085)

Parking
There is plenty of on-site parking (at no charge). The main car park is accessed via a slip-road to the right as you drive up the Front Avenue. From the main car park it is a short walk (about 2 minutes) to the main reception areas.
If you require parking closer to the venue (if you have a pram, or require wheelchair access), there is a smaller car park available. Please drive straight up the Front Avenue and past the front of the house. You will see a sign directing you into the ‘House Car Park’.
It is important you only park in allocated areas to facilitate access for buses, taxis, and emergency services,
No parking is permitted at the front of the house except for bridal cars being used for photographs.
Parking is at your own risk, however cars are allowed to be left overnight and collected by 3pm the following day.

Some other notes
Wireless internet is available at the venue (this is not a super-fast connection). Please ask a member of the team for the wifi code.
All rooms within the venue are accessible via step-free routes – if you require any assistance on the day, please do speak to a member of the Tullyveery Team.
The Courtyard and pathways around the grounds are gravelled (loose) so please consider this when selecting your footwear.
We encourage guests to enjoy the grounds, and parts of the day may be based outside. You may therefore wish to bring a warm outerwear garment with you, depending on the time of year.
A disabled toilet is available within the Courtyard restrooms.
There is no public café on site and there are no ‘bar snacks’ available. Your catering will have been specially selected by your hosts, supplied by external catering companies. Drinks are available to be purchased at the bar if the bar has been requested to be open by your hosts.
