We visited today for the first time since covid and were amazed the price had gone from €8 to €24. The house was closed, the cafe was closed, the craft shops were closed, there were some animals still there, but not many, the falconry was gone. Some of the playground things were gone too. We did a quick walk and while the sculptures are impressive many are several years old, growing mushrooms and rotting. We spoke to the lady at the entrance, the only person on the grounds, and expressed our disappointment at having to pay full price when nothing was open, but she was unable/unwilling to offer discounts/refunds. We suggested an off-peak price was probably appropriate when everything was closed except the walking trails. Having previously been annual pass holders we were bitterly disappointed, we won't be back again and we certainly won't be recommending Wells House to friends/family/tourists. Such a shame as we had enjoyed previous visits so much, and found the previous €8 car park fee appropriate.

Met my sister and her her family for a walk I felt it was a complete rip off to be charged full price in and no coffee shop open so we couldn't even get a cup of coffee. We weren't told this when we paid in. Won't be back very expensive for a walk.

We used to love going to Wells House for a walk and didn't mind paying the €8 or €9 for the car, but since covid they are now charging per person which is a complete rip off. We went with two kids, so €24........to go for a walk, playground and to see a few animals(which I feel aren't kept in the best condition and don't really need to be in a place like Wells House). I don't know how they justify the price, it's crazy. There are plenty of walks with fairy doors to go to for free and lots of beautiful walks for free or a carpark charge like Avondale. I would only recommend one visit here if you are really curious otherwise I'd say give it a miss and go somewhere else.

Total waste of money. Up until a couple of years ago, you paid a nominal amount of possible 2 or 5 euros at the barrier on the way out. Today, we paid i think 8 or 9 euros each for 3 adults plus a teen which was same price. This entitles you to ...... nothing ...... you get to walk around their gardens, the falconry is gone gone gone. No entry into the house is included with this. Total rip off. Won't be visiting wells house again .

This is a total rip off. I Paid 27 euros for three tickets to Wells HOUSE and gardens, it should be Wells Gardens as the house wasn’t open. Very misleading website, don’t be fooled your paying to walk around a park

We as a family loved coming here over the last 8 or 9 years but l’m afraid it’s not going to happen anymore. It used to be €10 for a car but now it’s €24 for a family…..we paid only because we thought there must be something added to the experience, in truth, the place had been going downhill a bit lately, the lovely little craft shops were gone as was the animal experience for the kids, there’s a minimal effort animal area there now, the archery is gone but now unfortunately there was nothing…..it’s a total rip off, they really should be ashamed of themselves, maybe they are as there are no admission charges shown on the way in. It is with sadness that we say we won’t be going back as we have some great memories of here but there are much better places nearby for reasonable and realistic rates.

Don't waste your time or money visiting . Very misleading to what is actually advertised. Avoid the cafe on site, rubbish food the kids wouldn't even eat the pizza.... Who ever is running this should visit Newbridge House in Dublin they could learn an awful lot.

The fairy walk around the grounds is fun for young children. The gardens are beautiful and well kept. The children's playground is good with nice seating area for picnics. The entry price is a bit high for what it is but ok. The cafe however is probably the worst cafe we have ever visited. Do not go and do not waste your money on the food.

House tour not included in price. Entry covers walk in the garden (walled garden closed) and use of a playground. Grounds are lovely but not worth the price of entry for a family of 5. Coffee shop very disappointing, very poor quality pizzas which kids didn’t like and toasted sandwiches were dry. A lot of potential as the animal area, while small, was nice and animal seems well cared for.
