Visited this beautiful house and gardens over St Patrick’s weekend. I thought the gardens were beautiful with lovely little trails to follow and lots of stunning specimen trees. If you love Magnolias and Camellias you will adore it. The house is stunning too, I’d love to do a tour of it too if this becomes possible in the future. I thought the audio presentation on the family who owned the house and gardens was very interesting and well done, the Stables cafe and gift shop I thought was great too - food was very good and normal kind of prices. It’s on the Greenway too so it would make such a lovely drop off point for refreshments. A really lovely place for a family day out, highly recommend.
My favourite place for a day out. Beautiful gardens with lovely trails, secret stairways and amazing bushes, trees and flowers. Unfortunately, tickets, gift shop and cafe are too expensive.
The gardens are absolutely gorgeous!!! I walked around for two hours even though it was raining! I have so many photos that will definitely become paintings! There is a very good selection of products in the shop! The food is very good. Hot chocolate is delicious! The banoffee didn’t have much bananas… The employees don’t seem to know what they need to do. But maybe they were in training.
We drove to the gardens from Cork because it was supposed to be one of the best gardens in all of Ireland. We liked the view from the temple and that the forest offered some shade, but that's it. Overall, we wouldn't come here again because we found other Irish gardens much better than this one. The signs were in such bad condition/in parts non-existent that we got lost several times. The waterfall was dried out, the greenhouse was under construction, the whole property generally appeared slightly unloved and neglected, very few flowers were in bloom in the walled garden, the pond was only green and not well maintained. It was nice to have a walk here for a day but we both expected more from the entrance fee. I wouldn't recommend for anyone to drive 90 mins one way to go see the garden but if you're in the area, why not visit?
Free carpark. Wonderful walks and scenery. Gift shop. Cafe. Dogs are welcome but must be on a lead. Childrens play area.
