A great destination, the manor is still in wonderful shape and well worth the hour tour. The whole estate is just magnificent and an exceptional part of Irish history
This was a lovely option for a rather dreary Sunday afternoon - the selection in the cafe was wide enough for a number of tastebuds and there were a great selection of cakes for those with a sweet tooth! The ground then had a good opportunity for a walk to help burn off the banoffee pie!
Nice day trip. Beautiful gardens and farm. Nice walking paths. You can have a nice lunch inside or out on the patio. Pleanty of parking.
Walk, cycle whatever way. No better way to spend a day withe family, couples or on your own. Scenery so beautiful and of course the great cafe on site with superb main meals or snacks. Muck cross farm also.
We (my husband and 1 year old son) parked a short walk from the Abbey, from there we continued on to the house and then to the falls. The walk was several hours as we stopped to take in the sights and explore the beauty and history of the area. We took a horse drawn carriage ride back to our car. The operator gave us an audio tour along the way. We enjoyed the day Immensely!
I really don't care for Victorian architecture or furniture but I must admit I enjoyed visiting here it was a pleasant surprise the gift shop is really nice but best of all the restaurant has really good lunch food I hate shepherds pie I did not get it but my daughter and son in law did and they loved it I would recommend this place and would go back again
Take the guided tour. The staff very friendly. Nice views from the house. Walk around the gardens and nearby forest.
When you look around at the house one would think "who could ask for more? "The truth is the owners of the house ( several of them) did not live happly ever after. With that being said I like the story of the owners more than the house.The house is a gem like the ones found in New Port Rhode Island.We did not take the jaunting carts. Only because our time was limited...Well worth the visit...Liam & ColleenNew York
My husband and I take the trip to Killarney National Park quite regularly and a visit is never complete without a walk around the gardens of Muckross House and a bite to eat in the restaurant. The setting is just stunning and the walk along the lake from the house to the abbey is a must and you will see some of the best scenery the country has to offer. The restaurant offers counter service lunch and dinner. It’s always very busy but service is quick and there’s usually plenty of seats. The price is very good value considering the location, I had a lovely goats cheese and grilled vegetable Panini for €5.50 and banoffe for dessert was only €3.70.Definitely worth a visit if you’re visiting the Killarney region.
A beautiful historic house and wonderful gardens over looking the lakes where you can take a stroll taking go the breath taking views of the mountainsYou can take a very interesting tour around the house
