This is a beautiful estate, perfect for a relaxing ramble through historic gardens. We visited the cafe for breakfast on Sunday morning and it was such a lovely experience. The French Toast was excellent, slightly crunchy outside with a custardy creamy interior, the bacon was ample and the dining room was just so lovely. Other options include pastries, oatmeal, pancakes and traditional hot breakfasts. This is a hidden gem, worth the drive to have Sunday breakfast and a lovely way to recharge before starting the week.

We booked afternoon tea in the tack room in Mount congreve. We couldn't fault one party of it. It happened to be one of their busiest weekends as they have a Halloween family day on and the stables cafe was buzzing with family getting lunch. The staff were prompt with delivering our afternoon tea and had time to tell us some of the history of the house and future plans for Mount congreve. The food was just delicious. Having the cliff take on the food was a great move for the establishment. We had to take home some of the cakes as it was so filling. We have a yearly membership to the gardens and cannot wait to renew it.

We visited the stables cafe as part of our walk on the Waterford Greenway. Beautiful cafe to visit, exceptional food - freshly cooked and very high quality experience. Lovely location and ambiance, v friendly staff. Well priced given the quality. We will be back to visit the gardens. The John Roberts-designed house is a Baroque take on a Palladian pattern - a delight to see in any weather.

We were in Waterford for the day. A friend who lives locally picked us up from the train station and drove us to Tramore and my wife’s great-grandfather’s former home, as well as other sites. She took us here for lunch. The flora was very nice, and the meal was delicious and inexpensive. The setting is very relaxing and we had time to walk to the river after we ate. It made for a memorable afternoon.

My wife and I stopped here on the way to Cork from Waterford and we were so glad we did! These gardens have beautiful sounds, aromas, and people. You can easily spend half a day here looking at the different spaces and finishing it off with a great inexpensive lunch in the cafe!

Mount Congreve gardens are simply stunning. Gorgeous plants, trees, birds and dragonflies! We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed beautiful sunshine on the day of our visit. There's a great playground on the red trail for children to play and have fun. The shop and restaurant are also lovely and the staff were excellent. When I mentioned that we were staying at Faithlegg House Hotel Karen in the Mount Congreve shop advised that hotel guests were entitled to free admission to the gardens. I was unaware of this and was about the ring the hotel to enquire but Karen arranged it all for me. She asked her marketing manager Emma to contact the hotel on my behalf and within minutes two complimentary passes were organised. It was five star customer service and greatly appreciated!
