Borris House

What travelers say:

Never book an affair at Borris House, located in Borris, Ireland. When I got engaged my mother offered to put down a non-refundable deposit of 2,000 Euro to secure the venue. Very soon after Covid hit and Ireland closed its doors to all visitors. Pubs were closed and people were confided to small areas around their homes. My mother contacted Borris House and rescheduled the wedding, but when the rescheduled date arrived, Ireland was still closed. At this point my mother spoke to the owner, Morgan Kavanagh, and requested a refund of the 2,000 Euro down payment. She pressed the point that WE did not withdraw. The country closed its doors to us due to Covid. Morgan refused to return the downpayment. She then said, “how about we split the money. 1,000 Euro each.” Again he refused. He told my mother, “to just take it on the chin.” Beware of dealing with a man whose sense of entitlement engendered such disrespect and lack of professionalism.
