\"Christmas<\/p>\n

Oooh! It’s that’s time of year again…. The festive season. That time of year where your ventures to the outside world are very slim (we tend to hibernate). But, when we do manage to get outside, we want to feel as homely and snug as possible. One secret spot we discovered is the stunning Actons Hotel Kinsale. Kinsale is obviously a beautiful part of Cork (anyone who has travelled there can agree) but if you’re looking for somewhere to cuddle up to your loved one with (or even propose to), Actons Hotel Kinsale is an amazing spot. We caught up with Mary K O’Donovan from the hotel to get the scoop….<\/p>\n

Christmas must be such a magical time at Actons Hotel! How do you prepare for a winter wedding at Actons Hotel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kinsale must be a lovely spot to pop the question. Have you ever had any interesting proposal stories at Actons Hotel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kinsale<\/a> is absolutely a truly romantic spot and even more so in the winter.\u00a0Few years ago a proposal took place on the mast (feature directly across the road from hotel) the gentleman asked if we could have bubbles and candles lighting for certain time and he popped question. They got married here with us the following December and have had many family events with us since including their daughter christening.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re huge winter lovers here at WeddingDates! Do you have any fun non-wedding related Christmas events coming up for us?<\/strong><\/p>\n
