Nice place to visit, easy access, free parking. Could do with some more information signs as there's only one at the entrance. Currently it's quite well preserved with some good quality stone architecture. Some odd additions which have blocked up some of the original layout. Information boards about this would be interesting. Quite clean but some people are too lazy to take there rubbish away with them.

Wonderfully well preserved Franciscan Friary in the west of Ireland, plenty of interesting rooms to explore. The site is well cared for and off the beaten track enough that one has the chance to look around on your own. The crows have made the various windows, towers and crevices their home and add an atmospheric addition to any visit. Free to visit.

An amazing location inside and out. It has great parking and when you access the interior it is full of surprises as you can explore the different rooms and after your finishes inside, why not walk around the grounds and enjoy it different views and off course there is a lovely lake to its rear, cheers

Had an excellent tour with Marcus during Heritage Week. He was clear and concise and gave a lot of info....but not too much. Wonderful site to visit. History in a sentence: "right lads ye're out. Ok lads, ye can come back!"

Impressing ruin which offers a lot of fascinating views. Because of the narrow road, there won‘t be too many visitors, above all no busses 😁. A place full of magic, partly owed to the lots of crows living there. A must-see!

If your nearby, definitely worth a visit. Down a long lane, and when I was there, I was the only person there. Lovely to walk around and think about the monks who lived such a spiritual life in the past.

This is a great place to visit. Small car park and decent road in and out. Plenty of photo oops.

If you enjoy walking along a coastal pedestrian friendly path that overlooks the water, this is perfect. Lots of benches to rest at along the way, we saw several swimmers and divers in the water, there is a cool solar powered bench to charge your phone (with USB or direct contact charge!), and lots of restaurants and pubs nearby if you want to grab a quick pint or snack!

Such a good atmosphere to have a walk. Easy walk from the Spanish arch to the promenade. Don’t forget to kick the wall when you finished the walk!

I brought my bathing suit on this trip in hope of swimming, but my entourage was not interested. And yet, we had sunny days every day and locals were bravely enjoying themselves.

Great rocky beaches, too cold for swimming however there were some people in the water. Parking wasn't incredibly difficult if you are patient.

Beautiful walk along the shore , a busy spot with plenty of parking

A very nice view of the sea. It t was raining that day.. those are the best that I could take.

I very much enjoyed my walk ;)

I still can't believe how i got this wonderful room for such an awesome price 😍 completely lived it. The rooms were super clean, their service was good. They constantly contacted from their end to make sure everything is grand for us. The best thing about this Student was that it could accommodate 6 people. Would really love to stay here again.

Decided last minute to have a 2 night stay, they went over and beyond for us as we booked late in the evening to arrive late that night. The apartment is in the heart of Salthill with everything at your doorstep. The accommodation was very clean, a comfortable. We will certainly be booking again in the future.

We had a brilliant few days in Galway The apartment was spot on and staff v friendly . Great location . Will def book here again . Thank you

Great location, plenty to do with the kids ,,lovely beaches near by,nice restaurants and pubs on your doorstep, would defo come back

Spacious apartments and centrally located

very clean

(Translated by Google) Mega accommodating! We couldn't check our emails, so someone came and helped us!! Great! Apartment is also great, quiet and yet everything is "around the corner", delicious food, pubs with live music and the Atlantic 😍 (Original) Mega zuvorkommend! Wir konnten unsere E-Mails nicht checken, da kam extra jemand und hat uns geholfen!! Toll! Appartement ist auch Klasse, ruhig und dennoch alles"um die Ecke", lecker Essen, Pubs mit Live Musik und der Atlantik 😍

A wonderful cathedral to visit, right in the heart of Galway, there is a colourful beautiful dome in the ceiling with many windows to let in the light with a purple glow. Many splendid columns support the wonderful arched wooden ceilings. The organ pipes are in a wonderful display surrounding a beautiful stained glass window. There are many beautiful stained glass windows to see. Many rows of great wooden pews that run the length of the cathedral and seem to go on forever. Entrance is by donation.

Majestic , Serene & Beautiful! Wonderful place of worship and reverence! The organ, stained glass , alter, etc is just plain amazing. Wonderful history behind all of this as well. A definitely must see in Galway! Pictures don’t do it justice. You have to be here in person to experience and view its grandeur!

The most beautiful cathedral I’ve ever visited Galway Cathedral truly took my breath away. The architecture, the atmosphere, the light streaming through the stained glass — everything felt majestic and peaceful at the same time. Out of all the cathedrals I’ve seen, this one left the strongest impression on me. A must-visit when in Galway!

Very modern, but at the same time with a nod to the past with the building materials used. Very beautiful, peaceful and serene inside. A good place to stop, think, pray and contemplate.

Must visit. Don't miss it. We just had a couple of hours to spend in Galway and it was cloudy and rainy. On a grey, cloudy and rainy Sunday in Galway, the cathedral feels just right. Its solid stone exterior blends into the muted sky, sitting proudly by the river. Inside, it’s a different world—stained-glass windows glow softly, even without much light, and the faint smell of incense mixes with the quiet hum of Sunday service. It’s calm, peaceful, and a perfect escape from the damp day outside. A great spot to pause and reflect.

Stunning Cathedral in Galway. There must be 80 beautiful stained glass windows inside. The walls are a spectacular dark and light gray sandstone.

BEAUTIFUL!! The artistry and detail are incredible. Stations of the cross sculptures are excellent. There aren't enough words to describe how magnanimous the cathedral is. You have to see it in person.

Very alive, lots to do from eating to shopping or just strolling by and catching a street performer. A little crowded. Lots of photo opportunities.

🌍 Explore, Taste, and Travel with Us! Follow our adventures and food journeys on Insta: vibrant_wanderer_rhythm Loaded with restaurants, pubs, bars, shops to shop at. Lively street . Live music in the evenings. Sure to include in your itinerary for touristy kick.

Visited on a Sunday during the arts festival. Street was very busy and lively with multiple buskers and street acts. A very vibrant place to visit with plenty to do.

Cool old style architecture. A few good shopping options offering local products. Very busy with tourists, and angry fire juggling street performers berating tourists: "I don't get paid to do this, anything less than a 5 euro donation is an insult after I entertained you for 45 minutes!!"

Very lively, loads of locals and tourists in the pubs, shops & restaurants. Music on the street from trad to anything goes, and spontaneous dancing.

vibrant, lots of street performers, doesn’t feel like a tourist trap but more like people of Galway authentically living their lives 🇮🇪

Great music, good food, lots of energy! If in Galway, you must visit!

A delightful highlight of my first trip to Ireland! There’s plenty of parking, and they offer tours twice a day as well as occasional workshops, so be sure to check their website before visiting. The tour was informative, fun, and fascinating—it gave me a deeper appreciation for both the perfume-making process and the Burren itself. Everything is made by hand with minimal modern machinery, which really adds to the charm. Strolling through the gardens was lovely, and I highly recommend stopping by the café for tea and a treat—all the food is locally sourced and delicious. Bonus: They shipped the perfume I purchased directly to my home in the States, which made traveling even easier!

We come here every time we come to Ireland. A beautiful place with great tea and cake and some great soaps and perfumes. Herb garden is very nice. Love to just walk around here.

Beautiful place to rest and enjoy the garden/tea house. Food is very nice! The perfumery is definitely worth a visit as well - you might find some local & handmade products for yourself or as a present. Prices are reasonable for what is offered. If you take your time it definitely is an experience! Can recommend.

What a fun place to visit and learn more about making soap, candles, and perfume. They have free tours, check for times on their website but when I visited, it was at 11:30, 1:00 and 2:30. They also did a perfume demonstration at 3:30. The Tea room is a lovely place to have lunch, a snack, or afternoon tea. There are pretty gardens as well.

Very nice place to stop before going on a long trip, pastry’s were tasty and very unique, be careful driving here because the roads are crazy narrow.

Beautiful space. Glad we could make it to the perfumery. They have a bakery and a garden as well.

Perfumeries are not normally high on my list of places to visit. But this place is great. The gardens are beautiful, the lunch was superb and the shop also worth a visit

The scenery was stunningly beautiful and uniquely Irish. We took a 4 mile hike on the red trail but didn’t finish the complete trail. We turned back after 2 miles due to the rough, rocky terrain when it went up the mountain. The multiple trails were well-marked.

Great hiking experience. Lots of terrain that is unique to Clare County. I took a 3.5 hour hike that had me on a gravel road, then forest, then rock formations, through a cattle farm, past a house that offers tea to hikers, past a lake, and looped back to my vehicle. Absolutely beautiful

Stunning in it's own right. Truly unforgiving landscape. Worth a climb to the peak if wearing good shoes. Go slow and enjoy the view.

Honestly one of my favourite spots in all of the 'Emerald Isle', despite it being one of the least green! It's stark, barren, almost otherworldly, and breathtakingly spectacular. Don't miss it if you have a chance, and take time to linger here, explore the coast, the hills, the strange layers and textures, really experience it. Get out of your car and walk around!

Amazing place. Great trails for walks. I hope to get back here some day. My Irish favourite.

We did the blue trail hike. Pro tip is that you can park down the road about 0.6 miles if you want to shorten the hike a bit. The only thing you’re skipping is the walk down that road. In total that will shorten the hike 1.2 miles (Approx 2 KM). The views are unlike anything else in Ireland. You’ll walk along a lake, through a field filled with goats, and up the side of the rocky burren mountain/hill. The hike isn’t overly strenuous but there are 3-4 little areas where you’ll scramble up around a 10 foot steep incline/decline. I’d recommend proper hiking shoes as some of the rocks you’ll step on are rather pointed and could hurt your feet if you’re wearing joggers/skate shoes. If you have the time, it’s a nice little hike and not too far from cliffs of Moher if you need to get away from the rampant swarms of tourists there.

Interesting geological phenomenon with rocks in the shape of skeletons in rows separated by grassy fields. We took the white path throttle rock formations and reedy forests. Worth a visit but beware the narrow roads

Staff very welcoming and gave valuable introductions. Lots of explanations and exhibits going back many centuries. Please visit if in Ennis

Incredible 13th century Friary. Beautiful structure and surprisingly well preserved. Restoration work is also very impressive.

Beautiful Franciscan friary in the heart of Ennis. Take the guided tour. The history of the place is amazing. Almost 1000 years in existence and much of it still standing.

Absolutely amazing Frairy. We went at the end of their day and had the place to ourselves. So quiet, it let us absorb it all. Truly amazing.

A small museum of an old abbey in the city centre of Ennis. I really like how they combine the ruins with a lot of open glass walls. The entry is 5 Euro for an adult and 3 Euro for a child/student. You can spend about 20-30 minutes here.

The staff were really helpful and informative. Well preserved place.

Definitely worth a visit. A guide gives you a brief historical overview then you are free to wander around the places. It's very well maintained and there are lots of cool carved details in the walls and in the graveyard. The main area is covered, so this is a perfect rainy day activity.

Lovely place to visit with the kids. Safe and relaxed environment. Firstly, there are the deer in an enclosed paddock beside the visitor centre. Down at the lake there are lots of wildlife, with the swans always being a great attraction. Free parking, with cafe as part of the visitor centre.

We went to the grounds of coole park rather than the centre. The forest and lake are amazing and definitely worth a visit! The dry lake at the moment looked like a savannah, something out of a giant's land! Will be back, and can't wait to go to the visitor centre next time

Beautiful colours, amazing deer and good coffee. Unbeatable.

Beautiful walks, lovely lake, diverse woodland. Tasty café and wonderful free admission museum about Lady Gregory, her accomplishments in and support of the arts, and her many guests. A day well spent

Wow! Such a 'coole' place. Absolutely gorgeous walled gardens, dinky little tea shop 😍 and lovely visitor centre. Everyone there so lovely and helpful too. Well worth a visit #stunning

Beautiful park with paved walking trails. The trees and the water views were just amazing. We enjoyed our long hike and stopped at their cute tearoom for coffee.

We visited during December and the lake seems flooded during that time could not able to go future but it was great the rest of part. Have to be careful with small kids as lake water was at the edge on path way. Kids had good fun throwing stone etc. Good walk need some proper arrangements for resting points and toilets. The garden area is great with benches etc and nice walk inside it.

An absolute hidden gem. It is in a really great condition. Unreal to walk through the cloister where the Franciscan monks have walked. You can also clearly see the parts of the old castle walls and tower remnants that have been used for the Friary. There is also a burial vault. The metal door is closed off but you can peek through the holes (see photos).

Very charming town! We stopped just to visit the Abbey but our toddler ended up playing in the playground and we walked into the restaurant/bar for a bit. Lovely people! The ruins are pretty and quick to explore, took us maybe 35 minutes but we weren't in a rush. Sept 17, 2024.

Big,well preserved friary with church.free entrance

The old Franciscan monastery is impressive even as a ruin. What is quite interesting is its current use as a burial ground.

A nice old ruined Friary to visit. There’s no roof on it and it was abandoned long time ago, but there’s a nice graveyard around it that still used to this day. It’s free to enter, but there’s limited parking nearby, there’s some spots just around the corner. It’s somewhat popular, there was several people there while I was there. That tall tower is still intact and there’s a nice courtyard in the middle, with rows beautifully carved pillars, that’s similar to other Abbeys. The entranceway and looking inside makes for a nice photo.

So much history. Gravesites everywhere so be careful where you walk but absolutely worth a stop and takes only about 15+20 minutes

We arrived at 4:40 and the doors had been locked for a bit already, so don't take it for granted that it'll be open till 5:00. Grateful for those who posted photos here, since we're traveling from far and won't be able to get back. Peaceful location. You can walk around the outside, shared with some very chill cows.

Brilliant, hands down a class act! 3 playgrounds including a huge indoor inflatable city. Animals are kept in cages but are still easy to feed!

They really nice playground area, the bounce slides is the best for kids i really recommend this place for kids and parents, The price what you pay have 3hr off freedom

The best petting farm we’ve been to! Huge space. Our two young kids could happily spend hours there, with so much to entertain them. They loved being able to feed the animals, the sand pit was a big hit, our toddler even loved wandering about the football pitch. The highlight was the inflatable city area though. As parents, we found the organization of the play areas really good and the staff did an excellent job. One small comment would be that some older children were in the toddler area and were a bit rough for the smaller kids. But that’s just one of those things that happens in every play centre. Keep up the good work!

Excellent place to bring kids. Massive indoor bouncy castle. We went on a good day. (Not raining) had a time limit on the indoor area (wristbands on the kids) but could easily spend time outside, no limit there. Spent a good four hours here. Definitely go back.

Super nice with children any age and no matter If it s quick stop or you are planning for a longer stay. We ll definetly be back!

Fantastic first visit to Turroe on a cold showery day in Nov! 5 children aged 1-5 in our group and they all had a ball, adults included! Well organised clean set up, friendly staff, only indoor areas limited to 3hrs which is LOADS for them and then back out to say goodbye to the animals and another run around the playground. Food choice somewhat limited, nice coffee and they kindly let you bring snacks etc and eat in the spacious indoor seating area. Clean indoor play areas, staff on duty, age appropriate spaces and spacious clean toilets. Great value for money. Can’t recommend more for a day out - whatever the weather. Planning our next visit already.

We recently visited Turoe Pet Farm in Loughrea and had an amazing time! This is a perfect spot for families with young kids—there’s so much to see and do. The petting zoo was a big hit, with friendly goats, sheep, rabbits, and even alpacas. Our little ones loved feeding the animals and getting up close with them. The playground area is fantastic, with plenty of space for kids to run around, and the indoor play barn is great if the weather isn’t cooperating. The staff were lovely—really welcoming and helpful. The facilities were clean, and there’s a nice café with good coffee and snacks . Overall, Turoe Pet Farm is a wonderful place for a family day out. Highly recommend for anyone with young children—we’ll definitely be back!

We visited Roscommon Castle on our way back from Westport. It's a great place to take a break from the road and stretch your legs. It's free to enter and the views from the castle towers are stunning.

What a glorious sight. The history wrapped in this castle is uncomprehensible. Being able to walk, touch, climb the walls was an honour. It felt so calming to stand within the castle grounds. The park surrounding the castle was excellent with play equipment and walking tracks. Just beautiful.

Its a Norman Castle built in the 13th Century. Well maintained by the OPW. Nice view over the park from the top. Its free admission.

A great historical place around Roscommon to go soak a bit of history, it is family friendly, has a lovely park for kids and a fitness playground. Gets very windy in the fall though so wear an extra layer. Also free tp visit.

Roscommon Castle is a striking medieval ruin built around 1269. It sits beside a pleasant town park in Roscommon and gives you free access no admission fee, no strict schedule. The grounds are well-kept: walking paths, a pond, children’s play area nearby and plenty of picnic space. The ruin itself is evocative: high curtain walls, D-shaped towers, echoes of battles and architectural innovation from centuries past. What you should know: parts of the castle are not accessible (for safety), and if you want guided tours that may only be available at certain times. It’s great for a contemplative or family outing, less so if you expect full interactive exhibits. Overall: highly recommended for history lovers or a laid-back stop on a drive.

Beautiful ruins of a once beautiful community I am sure. So peaceful to walk around and imagine people going about their daily duties.

Such a fabulous place to visit. The park is kept in such excellent condition. The castle itself is very well maintained and I'm delighted to see that it's an active protected home for swifts in aid of their conservation. I love that it's accessible for mobility aids and that it's open to view without having to go to a visitor centre or book a tour.

Wow, such a beautiful cruise ride it was. We enjoyed it a lot. The ride was for one hour. It is recommended to book your ticket in advance. They do the ride only twice a day, so be sure to check the timings. The cruise also has a bar inside. There is enough seats inside and top of the cruise.

Great trip out. The cruise starts at q and 2.30 and takes about an hour to head out. Price is reasonable. They give you some history on the way out which is nice and the staff are very friendly. They even let the kids have a go on driving the boat which is nice. There is an indoor area also if westehr turns, you can also buy drinks in there.

My son and I had a good time! We sat up on top and saw the River Shannon, the town of Killaloe and Ballina from the river. It was a gentle boat ride with lots of scenic views and historical explanations. The rode started in a dock in Ballina, took us upriver to the Lough Derg where we turned around and came back. We were one of the only boats on the river so had it to ourselves. The tour lasted one hour. You can purchase alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages on board.

Lovely way to spend an hour in Killaloe, James and the staff were great! Spectacular views along the river. Very clean and great atmosphere. There’s a bar on board with everything you’d need. There’s also a bathroom too. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Such an enjoyable way to spend a hour I preferred the comfort of the enclosed lower deck comfortable seating and well stocked bar, the views from the upper deck are even more incredible and the staff are so good very welcoming friendly and efficient can’t wait for our next trip to Killaloe to venture out on this boat again

Nice cruise on the Shannon river out to lake. One of the best Irish Coffees I had. Great views.

Very nice cruise. Very calm weather for October. They were extremely accommodating in letting us take our dog on board and even brought him a bowl of water about 20 minutes in. Very friendly and helpful. The boat was immaculate and toilets were spotless.

The tour was really interesting an it's absolutely worth going here. A really exciting story about the passt that one should know about Ireland. Our guide Mark was a great storyteller and told us many exciting but also tragic stories of the people who worked in this workhouse. The place and the tour are highly recommended. Thank you Mark.

This is a place for learning of the past to better the future. Top man In charge of the tour. His exhaustive knowledge and an obvious deep understanding of the workhouse and its place in world history made me feel compassion for the former workers who lived, died and were interned right here. Very powerful stuff! Then as a beautiful bonus to your visit a rural museum with lots of interesting items and documents from the local area. 5 star gem of history that should continue to be preserved and most importantly respected as it is now by locals and visitors alike.

A little out of the way but very interesting to see. You can see why so many Irish emigrated when the options were either starvation or living in a poor house.

We decided last minute to book a tour at the Irish Workhouse Centre. It was great insight into the workings of the workhouses including the many sad & difficult stories of those people in the workhouses, all part of our Irish history. Fiona gave us a great guided tour. Would highly recommend the tour.

A fantastic day out – – particularly for those of us who have an interest in Irish heritage and history. The restoration work and effort put in by the people behind this destination is unbelievably good. And our tour guide- Padraic- made the day extra special. Take a bow 🙏 I can’t understand why this special place isn’t given more national publicity.

We wanted to take in everything Portumna had to offer the day we were there, and you would be missing out if you passed this stop by. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, the site is well preserved, given the age of the place and how their funding is created. I hope in future it comes under the national trust umbrella so the restoration and tours can be more realized. Very much worth the stop!

Among the castles and natural beauty of Ireland, this is truly an alternative hidden gem that is worth going out of your way to check out. Our visit to the Irish Workhouse Centre made a deep impression on us that lasted well beyond the end of our vacation to Ireland. It offers a unique and authentic side of Irish history that a conventional museum cannot convey. I highly recommend making this a stop if you are in the midlands or are traveling between Dublin and the west coast. Be sure to check the website for tour times, as a guided tour is obligatory.

So much love, time and work is put on this place. Is very saf to se signatures of some idiots on the walls inside. But is worth this. I encourage you to buy a heritage card for all monuments that are under the care of the OPW

Interesting place, with a varied fascinating history. So much hard work has gone into bringing it back to its current condition. The gardens were beautiful and also the Abbey ruins on site too. Lovely cafe on site too. Loved the cheeky ducks who clearly know this is the place for some free food from the visitors and drinking from the dogs bowl tickled us!

The grounds and garden are beautiful. I look forward to see how the site evolves as the restorations and archeological investigations continue. I loved the addition of the tea room and art exhibit. And the gardens were absolutely fabulous. Could have spent another hour in them easily.

Such beautiful gardens and amazing history behind it. What a great place. The restaurant was stunning, and the food looked amazing. Would suggest the Chai Latte. Was perfect. The walking and riding routes are well maintained, and the staff are fantastic. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

It is a beautiful and quiet place where you can see horses and other hoofed animals. Good for walks and wedding photography. This place is definitely worth adding to the list of places to visit in Ireland. Not far from the castle, you can see a lake or another interesting areas.

Nice place to relax with the family. We had a great time. At the same time, it may need some maintenance specifically the kitchen garden and inside the castle.

Really helpful OPW staff will explain the history of this beautifully situated castle. Cafe on site serves great, cakes. salads, lunches and its own lemonade.

This is a beautiful place to visit. The grounds are peaceful and well-maintained, with plenty of historic ruins to explore. The museum was also really interesting, giving great context to the site’s history. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

This place is gorgeous! The history movie before you enter was a wonderful picture of what’s going on. the grounds are small and should only take you 30minutes. On a sunny day the Greene as gorgeous

Passionate and lovely people! We arrived a little after the tour started, but the tour guy immediately welcomed us and made a little résumé of what we missed!!! He was very passionate and nice, answered some questions along the way too! We did arrive in the morning, so there weren't a lot of people around, which was perfect to explore the grounds in peace.

Well-preserved structure of a monastic city The story of the place is fascinating and very interesting You can start with a film (It lasts about 25 minutes) with an explanation of the structure and the ruins (from the beginning to the modern time) Then you can visit the exhibition: the original high crosses are in here Now you're ready to see the monastic site. Nun's church is about 500 meters from the modern graveyard. There are not indication to reach it. So you can find the whispering arch at the entrance

Love ruins and historic sites; more so if they have such a rich history like this monastery. The views are just breathtaking and in a weird way so peaceful. Pictures really don't do no justice at it's beauty. There's a small museum and a theather where they 0lay a video with lots of info.

This was a stop on our Ireland tour. I am so glad it was! Aiden was an entertaining, energetic, knowledgeable tour guide. He truly brought the place to life. The grounds and surrounding area are stunning and the story is wonderful as it is old. I 100% recommend you go and try to get onto Aiden's tour!

Loved visiting this hidden gem. Great informative guided tour provided (20 min), then youre free to wander the historic site, and take a look at their museum which includes a short film.

Great central location. The views from the castle of the city is nice. The price is a few euros and worthy of the material on display. For children it is good as there is alot to see. Well worth a look

With the staff being well informed about both Irish and Scottish history, proved the information centre to be really informative. As a traveler, it’s always good to find recommendations of local places that Google may not tell you about. This tourism centre was easy to find and it’s part of the Adamson Castle. You are greeted warmly by friendly staff and they’ll ask you a little bit about why you’re visiting, they can give you the right information as long as you ask. If you didn’t know, they also have self-guided tours inside the Athlone Tourist Information Centre, if you’re trying to waste a little extra time for your flight, also assuming you’re interested in seeing the remains of the Adamson Castle that was built in the 12th century.

This was nothing like we expected. The castle looked cool from the outside but it was essentially made into a modern “museum”, it was not a castle tour. Of our 10 days in Ireland so far, this is the first thing we did that we felt was a waste of time and money.

Very interesting place, small museum, I set 4 stars, just because of several rooms and attentions have been closed, and also in was not for free as others do in during pandemic, overall I really recommend to visit, it can be also not better then Bunratty castle, but anyway good enough

Went today, very beautiful, definitely recommend this and it’s history. Very great view as well

It looked good from the outside then it was dearer than Kilkenny castle so I didn't go in I don't know how you can price something in Athlone higher than Kilkenny

Nice castle and tourist information. You will have to pay to get in.

A "must see" if you're in Birr. Over 120 acres of buildings, walks, lakes and woods to explore. Entry fee is €12 pp and well worth it if you have a few hours to spare. Science Hall is a highlight as it features historical instruments on display. A really great attraction. Parking nearby.

Love Birr Castle, part of our heritage. It's beautiful gardens and walkways offer peace and serenity along with amazing colours. Fabulous places to sit and meditate and enjoy life and it's surroundings ar it's Best.

Stopped off in Birr today and was not disappointed. A beautiful and historic place. A gardens are wonderful and the telescope, playground and castle itself are impressive. Hard to believe that from 1845-1914 this remained the largest telescope in the world! We didn’t get to sample the cafe but it looked good and the staff on reception were lovely - oh and for August children go free!!

Loved this castle experiences. My dad and I did the castle tour. Highly recommend it! It is awesome and the family still lives in the castle. They were amazing and super friendly!

Its amazing, loads to see and do. Just did a tour of the house, wow. The science centre is a must see and the gardens and history are amazing. The Patterson family have done such an amazing job keeping the place open for visitors. The cafe has beautiful buns and food and all the staff are gorgeous

Incredible landscape beauty, a lovely park, and the grandeur of the castle. You can walk for hours and even have a picnic surrounded by nature.

Very beautiful and big park for relaxation and walking. This is one of those places you should visit in Ireland. Also, this castle and areas are good for photo sessions.

5 stars is not enough! We visited the distillery on Easter Sunday, guided tour included us plus 4 other people and amazing Darragh (apologies if I misspelled the name!). We got a tasting glass as a souvenir and the tour started with a drink with ginger ale and Kilbeggan Black. For drivers - ginger ale, made with Irish apples - very tasty 😍 Darragh gave us a great tour, explaining the history, the process and being involved and very attentive to our questions! We have never been to such a historic distillery and Kilbeggan was a great choice! If you’re looking for unique experience, taste nice whiskies, learn about the distillery and its history - this is the best place in Ireland! Small, boutique place making whiskies for the local consumption ❤️ Highly recommended for whiskey lovers!

Great place for whiskey lovers and not only. 1 of the oldest Distillery in Ireland with spirit from the past century. Nice gift shop and surrounding plus whiskey tour with tastings.

Really enjoyed the tour and tasting done at Ireland’s oldest distillery…. Would happily recommend to others

Friendly staff and interesting place to visit. We felt the tour was quite rushed and the tasting was disappointing (only one type of whiskey to taste test), although we visited in a large group towards the end of the day so this may have played a part. The bar was lovely after and we picked up a few trinkets from the gift shop. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Interesting tour in an historic whiskey distillery. Nice tasting. Our tour lasted about an hour. Perfect amount of time.

Splendid tour. We had a great explanation and tour of the old distillery that was initially used, as well as the one used for small batches nowdays. The guide had excellent knowledge on the topic. (Added photo but don’t want to give spoilers)

Its a fantastic building and although I never ventured inside the outside had more than enough to catch my interest. The water being released makes for some lovely photos from across the river. It really is lovely on a sunny day. Well worth a visit even to admire from a far, enjoy

We had an amazing experience at Tullamore D.E.W.! Our guide, Andy, was fantastic – passionate, knowledgeable, and truly brought the story of the distillery and Irish whiskey to life. We were fascinated by the whole production process and loved learning about every step. The tasting was excellent, and I also indulged in one of the best Irish coffees I’ve had in Ireland – absolutely delicious! It was a memorable experience from start to finish and definitely worth a visit. Many thanks as well to our driver, John.

A unique distillery tour that starts with a good basic explanation of the process in a very comfortable setting. You get to walk the production floor and get to get up close the stills and tanks. Was glad to see that they take drinking and driving seriously and provided take a way bottles for the driver so they can do the dew once they get home. The smells of the bonded warehouse were amazing and we unexpectedly got to walk the dog. Shout out to Maeve thank you for the great tour. A must if your touring distillery’s in Ireland.

Our tour guide was absolutely awesome and made the experience so enjoyable to learn about the history. The tastings and overall grounds were well worth it. Although there isn’t much to do in the town, this is a favorite whiskey of mine and would love to return. Getting to make your own blend was super cool!

The Tullamore D.E.W. whiskey distillery tour was one of the best things we did while in Ireland. Starting with a warm drink with Mr. Frankie O’Callahan, the bartender , continuing with our tour guide John , and our bus driver , Jim we had the best afternoon. What started as a 2 hour tour ended up being an all afternoon adventure. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and understood whiskey. From beginning to end a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

We did the first tour of the day so it was nice that it started with a delicious Irish coffee. Our tour guide was a very friendly and engaging young lady who walked us through the process followed by a little tram ride to the warehouse and finished with a tasting of some whiskey. Would highly recommend a stop here

We had a wonderful experience on the distillery tour! Maeve and Jim were fantastic guides — they shared the rich history of Tullamore Whiskey and walked us through every step of the making process with great enthusiasm. They answered all our questions and made the entire visit truly memorable. Highly recommend taking this tour!

Really good tour. Greeted with irish coffee, taken to a hidden snug to pull some whiskey straight from the barrel, and tasted quality whiskeys. Maeve & Ray were fantastic guides, also. My only recommendation would be some way to try the custom blend at the end to verify it meets your desired profile before finalizing the bottle.

Beautiful place! Even though the house is undergoing renovations so we couldn't visit it (and nobody advised us when we bought the tickets), the gardens are worth the whole visit. Amazing array of plants and flowers and trees, even a fairy garden for the delight of all the visitors ☺️ Super recommendable!

I recently visited Belvedere House Gardens & Park, and had a great time. First of all, staff at the entrance are helpful and attentive. They gave us a guidance map and made sure we do not miss anything. Belvedere itself is a combination of serene walking paths through the forest, and the historic charm. Ideal for relaxing and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're into photography, history, nature, or just looking for a tranquil escape, Belvedere is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

It's a lovely place with beautiful scenery and walks. My favorite was the fairy garden but it's all truly worth the visit. It'll transcend you back in time.

Beautiful setting, sprawling picnic spot, lake walk, children's play area, forest walk, beautiful walled garden, fairy garden, and old architecture. Good food and area to relax. Overall experience is excellent.

Very beautiful location. Nice little outing and feeling as if in a old english series. The ice cream is really good and the staff working in the cafe are friendly and kind with the kiddies. Only drawback was that they busy doing some maintenance at the moment however it is still a lovely outing lots of little things to do at a reasonable price.

Visited Thursday. Clean and well kept Gardens .Good walks with plenty of sign post .Quiet and car park secure .

A huge and beautiful house garden to visit. We have been there on a Saturday morning. The house was closed because of some repairs, but other things were open to visit. So, they had discounted tickets. They also offered us audio guides which was a cool thing. We really enjoyed listening to the historical stories at each place. The lake was sooooo peaceful and from the house trace, you will have a unique view of the lake. If you are going to visit everything, it takes around 3-4 hours. Also, there is a nice coffee shop there that you can have some snacks or meals. The staff were very friendly and the dishes very delicious 😋

If you enjoy ruins then you must see this. It's an amazing set up on a hill that overlooks the countryside. The remaining ruins are set in three sections each have some hidden gems. Terrific photo opportunities as well and based on the size of the parking area (very small). Not a ton of people go there at one time. I really enjoyed the history behind it. If you enjoy history and can imagine the fortifications it's a terrific place to see.

A phenomenal ruined castle situated in a breathtaking spot high above the valley, once owned by the great medieval statesman and knight William Marshal, this should be top of your list if you're in the vicinity. Free entry and parking.

Rock of Dunamase is a fantastic little stop just off the main road. We were driving from Dublin to Killarney. I was looking for a place to stop and stretch our legs. This was perfect; better than I hoped for. There is a small little parking lot. From there you can see the ruins. It's just a short walk up the hill to the site where you can walk amongst the castle ruins. The views on top are incredible. You can really soak in the beauty that is Ireland. Free. Easy to Access. Stunning.

Very cool castle ruin to stop at just south west of Dublin on your way south to Cashel or Cork, planned it as our first stop in Ireland after the long flight. Arrived around 10:45am and it was quiet. Very few people around. Beautiful views at the top. (Slight incline up but easy enough) no bathrooms tho so find a bush lol. Plenty of parking at the bottom of the trail next to the old church. Tour busses do drop off crowds of people so go early if possible.

Beautiful castle. It has parking just on the access door. It is bigger than it looks and the view it’s just amazing. Definitely will recommend to visit it.

Fabulous views 360, nice place to relax and reset too, great history. Locals very friendly just respect area "Leave No trace" - parking very limited. Well worth a vist

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was tight, but we were still able to find spots along the road. 5 minute walk up the hill to wonderful views. The kids loved all the nooks and crannies they could explore. Even with a few car loads of people, it didn’t feel crowded. Great stop if you’re driving by.

This medieval church is really beautiful and amazingly old! We also climbed the round tower, which was a one-of-kind experience with great views. Dating from the 9th century, it is hard to believe it’s still standing, let alone that you can climb to the top.

A beautiful piece of history — With a Heart-Pounding Climb" St. Canice’s Cathedral is absolutely stunning, both inside and out. The architecture, stained glass, and centuries of history make it a place you can feel as much as see. We decided to climb the Round Tower — and wow, what an experience. The ladders inside are steep and narrow, and I’ll be honest, it was pretty terrifying on the way up. But when you step out onto the platform at the top, the view takes your breath away (in a much better way!). You can see the castle, the River Nore, and the countryside for miles. If you’re visiting Kilkenny and the weather is dry, don’t miss it — it’s an unforgettable combination of history, beauty, and just the right amount of adrenaline.

A highlight of our first 16-day trip to Ireland & still remaining a highlight after our second 1 week trip to Ireland! The fact you could go up to the top of the tower was awesome! What a view! It blew Kilkenny Castle out of the park for me. I even preferred Cahir Castle to Kilkenny Castle. This cute Cathedral though, with its lovely little round tower, perfection!! Sept 8, 2024.

Has to be on your list of places to see in Killkenny. We have been up to.tge castle many times and missed St Candice's. There is a small car park across the road, and a family ticket was around €24. Note you can visit just the Cathedral, or the Cathedral & round tower. I would highly recommend you don't skip the tower, but do not there are ladders and tight areas on the accent!! The cathedral itself is a a peaceful place to explore. Lots of interesting people buried in tombs, with information displayed as u explore. There are a few bits to keep the kids busy, wooden blocks to build a cathedral and some drawings. The cathedral also contains the red book of ossory. If I'm honest while it has huge historical significance, it's not much to look at 😂 The round tower is located directly adjacent to the cathedral. The enyrave is up a metal ladder. There is an attendant sitting just inside the tower, they will tell you if you if you need to wait based on who is already inside. Once u start climbing you will understand why rate limiting is so important! It's narrow/low and sometimes difficult on places. If u are a large person I'd avoid. The view from the top is great!!! Good spot to visit, don't skip it for the castle.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral. There's so much history here and they do a wonderful job of walking you through it all.

Fantastic old cathedral on a hill overlooking Kilkenny city, well worth a visit!

The pictures don’t do justice to the beauty of the Cathedral. The history is amazing, old tombs included.

This experience is well worth the stop if you are in Kilkenny. Our tour guide was fantastic (i feel terrible i have forgotten her name) and did an amazing job leading us through the history and science that is Smithwick's. The tour is very interactive and has a great production value. It is super engaging and interacting which was great as it was our 3rd brewery tour on our vacation. I highly recommend checking out the cream ale at the end of your tour. Absolutely delicious!!!

You must do this. We walked in and got a spot on a tour at noon. We brought our 5year old with us (kids <6 are free) and even he enjoyed most parts of it. Our tour guide, Simon, was absolutely excellent - full of knowledge and very well spoken on the history and story of Smithwick's. He made the experience really phenomenal. At the end, the barrel room for tasting was really great - comfortable and great service. I HIGHLY recommend this experience - and keep an eye out for the pamphlets with the 10% off QR code! They're all over Kilkenny (and ireland in general).

A solid tour of Smithwick's in Kilkenny - given by Daragh. He was both entertaining and informative! The history was very interesting, and the "picture room" was very cool. Literally moving pictures - and quite well done. The tasting experience, of the ingredients used in making beer, was a nice touch. And the beers afterwards, in the taproom, were well received and poured. Worth the visit, indeed!

We easily booked online. The guide did a good job in presenting the history of the city, brewing and business. The conclusion of the story can be unexpected, if you did not document upfront. Just a museum, not a live brewery anymore. Nice videos and interactions during the tour , it is touchy feely smelly. The price was a bit high in the end for 40 minutes of tour and one beer. The Kilkenny beer might have been the first served on that day, it was mostly foam and quite flat. Also, too cold in the tasting room and with very cold beer , hard to drink.

Joined this beer brewing tour and guided by Colin which gave us a very detail walk through history of brewing business by Smethwick family in kilkenny highly recommended if you ever visit kilkenny tour will take about 45 minutes and it comes with a complimentary beer at the end of the tour

A pleasantly surprising, educational and interactive, entertaining experience. Our young guide was funny and knowledgeable, and the modern sensory elements were delightful. The best part was smelling all the components and then getting to taste the flight of all of Smithwicks' best beers at the end!

We went on a tour with Maggie as our guide, and found her extremely warm and witty. She took time to answer questions and share a lot of information in a way that was fun and inviting. The physical tour was also well designed and we enjoyed the paddle of tasters we had at the end.

Impressive Castle, Just Be Prepared for the Crowds! A fantastic visit to the magnificent Kilkenny Castle. The building itself is beautifully restored, and the self-guided tour through the various rooms, especially the Long Gallery, is fascinating and well worth the price of admission. The sprawling parklands surrounding the castle are an absolute highlight – perfect for a walk, a picnic, or just letting the kids run around. It's a true gem in the heart of the city. The reason for docking one star comes down to logistics. We went on a weekend, and it was incredibly crowded, and we had to wait in a queue for a while to get in. Be prepared for that if you're not visiting on a weekday. The biggest challenge, however, is parking. Most of the on-street parking nearby is limited to a maximum of 1 hour, which is simply not enough time to explore the castle and grounds without constantly clock-watching. You're better off finding a car park a bit further away and walking. Overall, it is a must-see piece of Irish history. Just plan ahead for the potential crowds and parking situation to make your visit stress-free!

Beautiful, well maintained castle with lovely grounds. It was a great way to spend a couple rainy hours. There's a QR coffee at reach room so you can very more information on your phone. There's washrooms and a cafe at the castle as well. Our was about €11 to get in.

Beautiful 13th century castle with a fully restored interior. It's only 8€ to enter and we'll worth it. There are also original artworks and tapestries as well as am especially BEAUTIFUL room called the long gallery which boasts an ornate wooden ceiling and vibrant red walls ordained with artworks.

A Regal Experience - Kilkenny Castle Kilkenny Castle is a stunner! I visited and was blown away by the rich history, stunning architecture, and beautiful grounds. This 13th-century castle is a must-visit in Ireland. Highlights: - Impressive Architecture:Majestic castle, great hall, and towers - Beautiful Grounds: Scenic gardens, river views, and walking trails - History and Culture: Learn about the castle's fascinating past Tips: - Wear comfy shoes for exploring the castle and grounds - Check opening hours and plan your visit accordingly - Don't miss the evening tours or seasonal events Kilkenny Castle is a highlight of Ireland! You'll feel like royalty exploring this stunning castle.

Nice castle, there are a lot of original furnitures and paintings, many languages printed guides. Enteance fee is 8 euro. You are to use one of the town parkings in vicinity. Enjoy!

We visited on a busy Saturday afternoon with tickets purchased online ahead of time. Theres a very large park connected to the castle that we walked around and explored for a while before our 4:00pm self guided tour. We spent 30 minutes inside walking around the castle taking pictures and finished our tour in the castle gardens full of flowers. We recommend the tour, though we personally enjoyed the castle from the outside more so than the inside as not much of it is original anymore.

Ireland is overflowing with castles but this one is in much better shape than most and the staff is very accommodating. We thought a quick hour would do the trick... You'll need at least two hours to get through most of the highlights. Walking the pleasant grounds will require another 30 minutes and a good pair of shoes. The town of Kilkenny also offers a nice place to walk, dine and mingle with the very friendly locals. You can easily spend half a day here; plan accordingly.

Premium store and very nice bags, cheaper than other retail stores

This is super good expensive brand.. I have these two taken in America 1) the big red one is 60$ and here is 99€ 2) the small I have is 70$ and here is 95€..

The last couple of times iv been in this store i was looked after by the same girl , she maybe a Manager ? I didn’t catch her name but she will know herself when i say i was looking for a t-shirt because i sprayed bleach on one that i had. Just want to mention she was very engaging and went out of her way to get some t-shirts for me to try , she had a lovely way with customers. … Thanks again.

Brilliant service there today from an Asian girl, sorry to describe her this way but didn't get her name. she informed me of offers that I was not aware of after talking to another staff member. She was on the door when I returned and recognised me straight away and let me in. Superb staff member 👏👌

Got a shirt went back to get a refund to be put back on my card was no they don't refund money back on your card the give you a gift voucher they take your money but will give it back to you

Great day shopping in Kildare. Michael Kors is a new addition to this development. The staff are really profession, helpful and totally lack that pretension that seems to be part of the job requirement for some brand outlets. Thanks Ladies see you again soon

Very unfriendly staff. The Chinese girl treated us badly at the entrance, shouting to us. Promised to get inside the shop in less than 40min, waiting 1h15 min and didn't get in. I am so disappointed with the staff service. There were more people complaining at the time.

Good location. Plenty of parking. Lots of shade. But very very expensive! We paid over €50 for one adult and two kids. The Japanese gardens are wonderful, but actually very small. We were expecting something bigger considering the high price. The various gardens are lovely to walk around. The grounds are immaculate. Very friendly and very helpful staff.

Great afternoon spent at stud. Beautiful gardens and tour was packed full of information. We saw some legends during tour and mums and foals. In the interactive experience is fun. Tasty food in restaurant too

Absolutely loved this place. I travelled with two 7yr old boys who loved it from start to finish. They loved the race experience, the waterfall in St Fiachras garden, the foals, the fairy garden was a big hit. They spent a long time in the Japanese Gardens, exploring all the nooks and crannies and walking the stepping stones. There was none of the usual "I'm tired" or "I'm hungry". It was all go.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Peaceful Hidden Gem in Kildare! The Japanese Gardens at the Irish National Stud are absolutely breathtaking — a perfect blend of nature, artistry, and serenity. From the moment you step through the entrance, you’re transported into a beautifully designed landscape full of winding paths, stone bridges, water features, and symbolic planting. The journey through the gardens is designed to represent the “Life of Man,” and it’s both peaceful and thought-provoking. Everything is so well-maintained, and there’s always something new to notice, whether it’s the koi fish, the vibrant flowers, or the gentle sounds of water flowing. It’s a lovely spot for a reflective solo stroll, a romantic walk, or a family outing. Don’t miss pairing your visit with the National Stud nearby — it makes for a perfect day out. Highly recommend if you’re in the area or even planning a short trip from Dublin. A true hidden gem that captures the spirit of Japanese garden design right here in Ireland!

I throughly enjoyed my few hrs here. The food was nice, no queing and plenty of parking. Priced not too expensive, per person, but for a small family it could be alot, and we didnt do a tour. The Japanese garden was a delight, the sole reason for my visit. Though don't be expecting peace n quiet. Pristine and exceptional maintenance of the gardens. I'll be visiting again.

Fabulous Place to Visit. Beautiful Grounds to walk around, Amazing Trees, Plants & Shrubs, lovely to see and pet the horses. Visit the Fairy Trail, see the ducks and walk around St. Fiachra's Garden, so peaceful. Loved the Irish Racehorse Experience, very interesting and good fun. Lovely Gift Shop & Restaurant.

National is always worth a visit loads to do. Our kids loved. Play of play areas, coffee shops, horses and walks. Japanese Garden is beautiful. Highly recommend a visit.

This was our first visit to Wallaby Woods. It's not widely signposted but it is easy to find on Google Maps. Have a care on the roads nearby as they are bog roads and can be quite bumpy in places. Wallaby Woods itself deserves to be much better known than it is as it's probably the best attraction in the area for children. We spent over five hours there with my nephew's, they particularly enjoyed the bouncy castles and the zip line. The grounds are very well cared for, as are the animals, some of whom you get to hold. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The food in the cafe is reasonably priced and very nice. If you're looking for a place to keep the kids occupied for an afternoon then I would not hesitate to recommend Wallaby Woods, you won't be disappointed.

This place pleasantly surprised me. Doesn't look like much from the outside but inside is very pretty forest walk with lots of animals and flowers. We also got to pet snake, rabbit, tortoise, guinea pig, donkey and a dragon! We also got to feed albino wallabies, really great place.

Great day out in this pet farm with great playgrounds for all ages. It's not very big so don't need to worry that kids will get tired walking around. We loved the zip line and the little playground located conveniently beside the cafe. There is couple of picnic spots and a football pitch. Would definitely recommend!

Great day out for the family.... Kids between 2 and 10 loved it. Staff super friendly and helpful

Excellent .. great place for day with kids ..even met Trump himself

Stuff very friendly, lovely coffee shop, animals and even obstacle course... We loved it!

What a great child friendly place lovely and clean great staff to

Just spent 3 nights here. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Great spot for families. Kids really enjoyed it especially the animal petting farm. They loved the play ground and tractor ride. Lots to keep them entertained. Also great entertainment for adults including bingo and music in the evenings. Nice selection of hot food in the shop at a reasonable price. Staff were very friendly and accommodating to our large group. Very relaxed and friendly campsite! Toilets and showers were ok. No toilet paper or soap available which was an inconvenience but other than that we had no complaints! Will definitely be back

So glad ranchos has reopened, had a great weekend. Eoin, oisin and the team have done a great job cleaning and rebuilding it, the new cafe is a great addition and the menu is perfect and delicious. Can't wait to see what else they add. Tractor ride is great not just for kids but and its free and that includes the muddy pool they drive into.

We stayed one night as we were passing through the area. Eoin was very welcoming, the site was well laid out, good lighting to the toilets( which are a bit rustic but kept clean and tidy). The animals were a huge hit with the kids and the play area.

Fantastic place to go camping with young children! You have access to the petting farm with horses, pigs, deer, snakes, lizards, rabbits etc, horse rides, tractor rides, playground, cafe and indoors play zone all included in the price you pay to camp. In the evening there is a frog hunt, fire pits, it is a really good place to visit. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the water was not reliable for showers etc

Visited in April 2017 with our two kids 7 and 4. Very good value - €6 per child and €3 per adult. No time limit, spend as long as you like. Has lots of attractions all free - playground, petting zoo (bunnies, snakes, lizards), donkey and pony rides, go cart track, sandpits, farm animals to feed, indoor play center and café with hot food and lots of seating with reasonable food prices but also picnic areas if you want to bring your own. Staff were very friendly. When my daughter was upset after spilling a drink the owner spent over 10 mins joking with her to cheer her up and gave both kids a free lollipop. Lots of free parking too. Highly recommended.

Great day out for family's.... All the staff are so friendly. Its great value for money and plenty activities for the kids. Wear wellies and old clothes ;-)

The owner is an absolute gent. As a venue it's a bit rough around the edges but the kids loved it. Loads of animals to interact with and a massive play ground. They even have a tractor ride.

Must visit for locals! I have lived near Newbridge for 3 years and always wanted to visit but never did until last month. The shop has something for everyone! Whether you’re looking for some jewellery, cutlery, Christmas ornaments or even preloved items! Price range is great, you can get 1 fork for a few euros or you can get a full cutlery set for 60e or something more bespoke too. The silverware factory tour is great, small and you learn a lot about how many they times they adapted and didn’t give up. I would recommend taking ear plugs with you if you’re sensitive to noise. Visitor centre also hosts Museum of Style Icons. It’s free to visit and they have the “revenge dress”. Finally there’s delicious afternoon tea to enjoy in the lovely cafe. Warmly recommend!

Visited here recently, such a beautiful shop,beautiful jewellery and homeware and much more...Christmas Shop all set up in there,gorgeous, well worth a visit....upstairs then is a museum....amazing ....I was mesmerised....bought a beautiful necklace too....and prices were good, theres also a beautiful cafe too....staff extremely helpful and friendly

Had afternoon tea in the cafe, nice selection of food and staff were so friendly. For the price of €67 I did think the sweet tier lacked a little bit. The museum is a must visit so many unique historic pieces and great that its free! Only issue is the toilets were so dirty so I couldn’t use the bathroom before leaving.

Beautiful shop, lovely jewellery where I purchased a new watch. Amazing restaurant unto it where we had lovely breakfast. Whitewater shopping across the road from it so a great day had.

Great sale plenty to choose from! Most stock in the shop was heavily reduced. I'd suggest getting there early as it can get quite busy as the day goes on and I'd imagine parking could be a difficulty. We didn't take a trip up to the museum but it's always worth a visit.

I love this place, beautiful silverware, if you need presents for anyone you will definitely find the here and the exposition is so nice. I had a very good time here. Thanks to the owner!

Wonderful place to visit. Embodies culture and timeless pieces. There is a shop selling gifts, jewelry, books and silverware. Also present is a restaurant to have some food on your visit. There is a beautiful free museum with fashion pieces from style icons. A lovely place to visit and learn plenty.
