    Hi I'm due to get married in AnnaCarriga, I've heard rumours they have closed down. Their Facebook has been deleted. Also I sent an email but an automated response came back saying their closed for Winter. Its just I've heard off a few people its closed down for good. Just wondering does anyone know the truth?

    Website is still active, restaurant opens at 5, for the winter months anyway, not sure about summer, I ate there a while ago and pass there regularly, haven't noticed it closed.

    The whole thing is a bit strange. The email says its closed for the winter and not opening till March but there is no way to contact them at all! They deleted both their Facebooks just there last week. I'm just scared the rumours are true but I can't wait till the end of March to find out. Its very bad business not to have a contact email or number.

    There's a landline, mobile number and email address on the website.

    Because he owns a house a few miles away.... he's "deffo" after it...!!!!! That's come logic there...!!!!!

    He has bought the Kincora Hotel in Killaloe which has nothing at all to do with Annacarriga whatsoever.

    I'm also due to get married there this year. We heard all the same rumours and tried to contact them a couple of weeks ago with no joy. Woke up to an email this morning saying they were going out of business due to sewage treatment facilities not up to code. No mention of what's happening with my deposit either. Not a happy bunny this morning.

    I’m on a wedding site and it seems they have appointed a receiver and notified some people about their cancelled wedding but not others. Shocking behaviour

    I am extremely upset with it all. I got the email, they have known for a long time that it would not be opening , yet I only booked the wedding start of January! They won't even email back.
    People are saying we won't get our deposit back and it was a lot of money that we can't waste away like that.
    Sorry to hear about the other brides and grooms especially when some of the weddings are on in the next couple weeks.

    They definitely knew in January they were in trouble. I'm slowly getting information from various sources. If it's of any use to you, the other hotels in the locality and even further afield have all heard the news and are being more than supportive and helpful so it's not all a loss (well bar the deposit). Start ringing around, I think we're more or less sorted now but are after a few stressful days. If you're on Facebook messenger there is a large group of couples affected so information is shared. If you want me to add you let me know. Hope everything works out for you.

    Supposedly not too bad for a good running business but their books haven't been too good for the last 2 years or something.
