What a wonderful visit. The house and grounds are hidden gems. Amazing artwork on display and Kevin, our tour guide,kept us well informed about it all. We’ll worth going off the beaten track to find. Lovely coffee shop to top it off. Highly recommend Glebe House and Gallery.

I’ve visited most of the important galleries and historic houses in Ireland and the U.K. and this would rank in my top five. We were lucky to join a tour with Jean who knew the artist when he was alive. An absolute wealth of knowledge delivered in an accessible way. The perfect guided tour. The house is absolute revelation, being full of interesting paintings and was decorated by the artist himself in bright and beautiful colours. And in June the gardens seemed like paradise. Don’t miss.

This is a hidden gem! Beautiful house full of art and artifacts and guided by the amazing Kevin. So interesting and informative, a real treat. Gardens look lovely so we will be back when it's dry! Lovely cage too with home made jam for sale. Best day of our trip to Donegal as it was such a surprise. Well done Kevin and OPW.

Second time we have visited. An amazing gallery / house - very intimate. Impressed by the knowledgeable guide, Kevin who brought it all to life. The tour takes about 90 minutes, and needs to be booked in advance. A lovely setting - the gardens and grounds are worth a walk around.

A fabulous house to visit, amazing tour and the history of the house and Derek Hill, one of the best tours to date. Well worth the visit, the grounds are fantastic the cafe is very homely. Our tour guide (from Glasgow) was just brilliant. If you’re in this part of Donegal it’s a must to visit. Delighted we took the time out to visit.

Fascinating house and art collection. Enjoyed our tour with guide Selena who was very entertaining and knowledgeable! All staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Gardens were beautiful. Would recommend visiting Tory Island as well to see what a unique place it is and why it had such an impact on Derek Hill.

I have visited Glebe House a few times and have strongly recommended it to family and friends. The house and grounds are so beautiful and there is an air of peace and tranquility. Kevin our wonderful guide in the tour of the house left us feeling we will come back!! His love for the artist and the house was palpable. He was so well informed and gave us all the time we needed. We got a real sense of what life was like then and he provided us with little details we never had heard before! Well done and thank you Kevin. Great to have a cafe and gallery and all staff so welcoming. It's definitely top of our list for places to visit.

We loved our visit, which was unplanned. In awe of the amazing collection of Derek Hill (reminiscent of Sir John Soanes house in London. Kevin our guide was so interesting. The gardens are wonderful and the Victoria sponge in the tea room was sublime. We shall return. Not to be missed if in the area.

Glebe House and Gallery is well worth a visit and, indeed, is a place you could return to several times, because there is so much to see and take in. For me, it’s not so much about the art on the walls – although the paintings are of course impressive – but the stories behind the art, the previous owner (Derek Hill), the house itself and the visitors who stayed there. The art also isn’t just the paintings; it’s the wallpaper, the colours, the furniture, the personal objects and the way Derek Hill positioned all of these. (The house is pretty much as he left it in 1981.) Tour guide Kevin is excellent. A visit to the tearoom is a must too – the chocolate brownie is amazing, best I’ve ever tasted! Unfortunately, it rained on both occasions I’ve visited so I did not get a good look around the gardens, but from what I did see they are beautifully well-maintained and colourful.

Lovely place , surrounded by lovely garden Near a lake Car parking available and cafe which serves local cuisines - home made cakes deserts and food . We had the soup of the day (vegan) and gluten free cake … delightful :) The service in Ireland is always better then elsewhere but this was too notch 😀 Lovely ladies The museum had an art exhibition so lucky to have seen the works of Irish women ! Entrance was free The lovely lady at the counter provided us with the information necessary Also paid 5 euros for adults to visit the house of the artist Derek Hill, guided tour and Serena out tour guide was really friendly and answered all our questions :) thank you Serena We walked to the lake there was a beautiful meadow buzzing with butterflies and quite a few Artists who were painting :) It was great to see the inside of Derek Hills house and the collection of paintings among which there was several Picasso plates … it’s must see and his wisdom , friendships and talents vary and in abundance Joyful tour
