Weddings at Blackthorn

THE TWELVE HOTEL CO.GALWAY

Set in the charming coastal village of Barna, where locals still enjoy “sneaky pints” in cosy pubs and the pace of life feels just right, The Twelve is just minutes from Galway city, yet feels like a world of its own. It’s also the ideal gateway to Connemara’s untamed beauty, offering stunning photo backdrops and scenic escapes for your guests.
