My sister is going to Dingle in 2025 and we are sending her there to pick up some more pieces for us to bring back. We hope to return one day ourselves and this will be our first stop! Much thanks!!

The staff tending to the gardens were kind and a few of them were able to answer our questions regarding the trees and flowers. You could spend as little or as much time at the gardens depending on your level of interest. Parking lot available. Cafe with seating and outdoor seating. Gift shop. We thought the cost of admission was a fair price for the joy we received walking around looking at the grounds.

This is one of the nicest & friendliest cultural center's I've ever been in. The word "cultural…read morecentre", often fills me with dread, because all too often visiting such places, I've been faced with an ironically uninspiring institution with no reflection of culture present, something akin to a dull local authority building or library, and despite loving books, I'm no lover of libraries! The Seanchaí as the centre is collectively known, from the Irish word for a Storyteller, (pronounced "shan-a-key"), is blissfully different. It houses a writers museum, justifiably trumpeting the work of Kerry writers, among them: John B. Keane, Bryan MacMahon, George Fitzmaurice, Brendan Kennelly and Maurice Walsh. All of whom are more than worth getting to know, and deserve to be better known, particularly George Fitzmaurice who like Maurice Walsh, (whose short story the John Wayne movie 'The Quiet Man' was based on), I'd never heard of before, but whose brilliant play 'The Pie Dish', I've since enjoyed. For a not too bad admission charge, (because in retrospect I must have been feeling a bit poor that day), you stroll through bright and breezy rooms that are each dedicated to one of these writers, and very imaginatively laid out they are, though it is all a bit too dazzlingly bright & minimalist for me, (I like a bit of a shade & clutter myself)! Other rooms cover collectively over 70 other Kerry writers of renown, and through visual displays you explore how a particular landscape can genuinely inspire a writers mind. Walking around here you can begin to believe Kerry's claim to be the cultural capital of Ireland, though dear old Dublin would have something to say about that I think! There is so much more here too, anyone living in Kerry with literary aspirations would have no excuse not to partake of an exhaustive programme of events & workshops on offer. There is an inexpensive restaurant with an impressive choice of food. Also as you might expect there is a really excellent bookshop, full of writers biographies, and copies of all their works including all of Listowel born John B. Keane's plays and novels. The bookshop is well stocked with other Irish & local interest books, cd's, dvd's & cards as well A genuinely inspiring & suitably creative environment to visit. NOTE: Head off for a drink at John B. Keane's pub, it's not far away on William St, and see my separate review for that.

My husband and I visited here this summer. I had read about the museum, and as an English teacher…read morewas excited to see it. My hopes for it were high. Let it be clear - I was not disappointed for a second. The cultural center gift shop was wonderful, and I was able to get some lovely souveniers. While we were browsing, one of the staff found our two tour guides - Vincent and Denis, who were outside trying to fry an egg on a piece of slate, as it was in the middle of the heat wave. We knew then, that they were a couple of characters, and would make our visit special. Again, I was not disappointed. We went from room to room on this interactive tour, and every moment of it was magical (in some instances, literally). In addition to learning so much about these legendary writers, we got to experience the written word, a genuine treat. We were impressed by the museum, but most especially with Vincent and Denis, who not only gave us an incredible literary experince, but some travel advice, opportunities to participate, and many many smiles & memories. Keep up the outstanding work. This is an experience that should not be missed!

I would not recommend Betty McGrath as a florist…read more I reside overseas and ordered flowers for my mother 60th birthday on her website. I placed the order online on Wednesday, December 20th and ordered delivery on Saturday, January 2nd. By Monday, my mother had not received her flowers so I emailed on Monday. Betty got back to me on Thursday, January 7th! Apparently, she has a policy were she only delivers the flowers after the paypal funds have been transferred to her bank account. This is important information to exclude from your website. If her website stated these terms, I could have phoned in the order, had someone stop by, or use telaflorist. A basic expectation of a vendor that allows you to select a delivery date is to email if there is an issue regarding the delivery date. She could have notified me when I placed the order via email. That would be expecting another business owner to take responsibility for their website or having the decency to notify a client of an issue, especially when knowing that the flowers were for a milestone birthday. That simple step would have alleviated a great deal of stress and aggravation. Betty finally responded on Thursday, 8 days after the order was placed and after I initiated a Paypal dispute. Betty answered after the funds were deposited into her account. She stated the holidays in Ireland affected delivery. She began the conversation using text lingo via email. As a fellow business owner and an adult, communicating using text lingo is unacceptable. I asked her to cancel the order as the milestone birthday already passed and there was no point at this stage. She ignored the request and instead tried to debate the issue at hand. Never was there an apology, instead she offered to deliver a nice bouquet. The trust was gone at that stage. She just dropped the issue and never responded to my multiple requests for a refund. I finally received a refund after submitting a Paypal dispute over a month later. Being able to see the buyer was overseas and purchasing flowers for a mothers milestone birthday, she should have reached out if there was an issue. The payment was made via Paypal, a reliable processing service. I would never recommend her services. Completely unprofessional and takes no responsibility for her website.
