Another stellar experience and grounds. What a special place! We were greeted by one of the family…read moremembers who gave us tea, coffee, and a pear tart that was delicious. We then took a quick tour of the gardens. We could have spent hours walking the property. Gorgeous!! The highlight was a room with walls covered with shells, each child had an initial. It was an amazing work of art. Then Richard and Liv taught us how to make soda bread, garlic aohli, pea soup, roasted & tomatoes, charred chicken, and new potatoes. It was so much fun, Richard was funny, helpful, and patient. Then we sat down and they served us the food, which was the best! If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend taking a class or at least checking out the gardens. Everything we ate was from the property. Fresh, delicious, and so much fun.

I wish we would've gotten there earlier to tour the gardens and the farm, perhaps this may have made us a little more happy with the experience.

A wonderful way to pass a couple of hours and a wonderful piece of history. Well worth the visit. would go back again, would also without a doubt recommend to family and friends, cost for us was I think €5 each if going in a group.
