Even though it was freezing January, the garden of the castle was beautiful and the views incredible. The cafe was shut but the bus was still runing to and from the castle and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. More

This is a wonderful way to spend a day in Donegal. The tour is very interesting and the guides are very knowledgable. A stroll beautiful gardens allow you to really get away from it all. The highlight of the visit is the tea shop at the castle - the baked goods are amazing. More

You get a bus from vistors centre and car park to house and gardens. It is a long walk! Gardens divided in sections are always looking great. There is a guided tour around house and further walks at back of house and along lake. Scenery great watch for the wild deer. More
