The setting of this gorgeous old house is inspiring with the rhododendren running up the mountain behind it. On the road up, we had to stop at the first glimpse just to take some photos. The grounds...

More interesting from the perspective of reminding us of the way of life of the industrial barons of the 19th century - but from an older historical point of view its all smoke and mirrors. The garden...

This is one of the most beautiful places on earth on a sunny day, even when it's a miserable day its nice but to really appreciate the scenery go on a nice day! It's a little expensive to get into and...

The house and gardens are beautiful. It is something you should not miss if you are near Galway. The restaurant run by the Benedictine nuns has very good food. Although, if you have limited time at...

We were in no hurry so we drove out to the Abbey while staying at Ashford Castle. It's a great drive and the Abbey is stunning. They have a cafe so you can break for lunch or tea. What is not worth...

Beautiful setting, but very touristy

The Abbey and setting is beautiful, and the walled garden is lovely, but the place is dominated by a very touristy retail outlet and cafe, which is packed to the gills with tour-bus tourists.

Not to be missed by tourists coming to Galway!

At one time, set on 13,000 acres, Kylemore Castle (now the Abbey) must have been heaven on earth. Beautiful setting on a lake with the most magnificent Victorian Gardens today, much less realizing...

Even in November the Walled Garden was colourful and magnificent, the tea room excellent and the abbey itself most interesting. The restored chapel is a gem and the location of the whole complex is...
