Visited Russborough House whilst on a week's holiday in the Wicklow area. The guided tour was fantastic - the rooms (particularly the ceilings) were spectacular and packed with beautiful paintings and furniture. Our tour guide had worked at the house for many years and was extremely knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about the house and all of the items in it.... More

We're just back from a beautiful afternoon in Russborough House, as regular visitors to the location we regularly do the walk lands lap and follow it up with a tasty relaxing coffee in the cafe.

My husband and I and our three young adult children visited Russborough House during Heritage Week, on a weekend break in County Wicklow. As it was Heritage Week, admission was half-price @€24.00 which was exceptionally good value. However, even at the full price of €48.00, it would have been definitely worth it. You enter the house at the rear via... More

We came across this place whilst driving North and stopped for a quick look around. We didnt visit inside unfortunately but we had a go at the maze and had an ice cream and enjoyed the views.

First of all, it is Alfred NOT Albert. A beautiful house full of beautiful things, guided by wonderful ladies who know their stuff. I've brought friends and family at least 40 times in the last 18 years I've had a summer place in Ireland, and never been disappointed. One time they were closing, but laid on an additional tour just... More
