Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- rodd426Vero Beach, FL30 contributionsAn outstanding structure. So much history to learn about. I was doubtful I could manage the walk to the site, so I asked the attendant how far it was. He offered to open the gate and allow us to drive to the location. You must be careful as people are walking along the same road/path. Only parking for maybe 2 cars. Please do not miss this bit of history just because you may think it is beyond your physical abilities as all you have to do is ask the staff. Now you may have to wait a bit if it is busy.Written 18 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- John R1 contributionThis place will never leave me. An easy, charming walk to the top, and when I crested the hilltop, I just teared up with joy.

- Daphne MCardiff, UK192 contributionsWe visited Dingle for the first time this week and were so lucky that our visit coincided with a folk concert at St James Church. I had wanted to visit the church having watched a programme about Amy Winehouse once giving a concert there. We were unaware that folk concerts take place regularly between May - September and happened to arrive on the night of the very first concert of the 2023 season. Tickets are sold at various venues around the town. We purchased ours at Heaneys pub on the Main Street. It’s a small venue so best to buy your ticket in advance although if there is room you can pay at the door.
The concerts are organised and hosted by a local legend Eoin Duignan who is a multi - instrumentalist with in depth knowledge of Irish folk music and the stories that surround it. Alongside Eoin were other local musicians who delighted us with their talent on the guitar, fiddle , harp, piano and various flutes and pipes. It was a sheer delight and if you get the opportunity to go along make sure you don’t miss out! An evening we shall never forget.Written 11 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Again, great stonework in an ancient graveyard, with spectacular vistas over the countryside. Fortunately, you are able to walk inside, though it seems it could crumble at any moment. Don’t miss this stop.Written 8 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- swiftmiKnoxville, TN1,218 contributionsWe stopped to view the ruins here. You park in a small lot across the road, walk to the entrance and pay the a few euros per person to enter, walk up a hill( about 2-4 minutes) and then you are there. It is not large and spending 20-30 minutes is about right. Very interesting. The views are also nice from the hillWritten 23 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ann CNashville, TN3,130 contributionsThe Irish Famine Cottages located here are a rustic memorial as a reminder of the tragedy of the famines. These cottages are becoming more rare in Ireland as many have been demolished due to lack of care and to make room for more modern structures. The main cottage here was built in the 1840's, it is an example of one of the earliest slated roofs on a cottage.
This is also a site of a small animal park, the animals were very friendly.Written 4 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Had a beautiful chat with the Priest after.Written 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- starshy926Louisville, KY719 contributionsMinard Castle is a bit out of the way and yes, you have to drive down a very narrow road (that would be quite challenging with lots of traffic)...but this place is great, and having something all to yourself is magical! I only met a couple cars on the drive down and back to the main road. It's a very cool place though, my only regret is the time of day I was there...it was around 2pm and the lighting was very harsh to get good photos. I bet it would be great in the morning (including sunrise) and maybe late afternoon/sunset. Worth a visit if you're trying to get off the beaten path!Written 3 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- honeyI’mhome61Greater Manchester, UK357 contributionsYou don’t need to be a child to visit here, we loved walking round feeding all the different animals that come running up to you expecting a treat. They’re all so cute and really fun to be around. Take the time to visit, feed the animals and take in the breathtaking views, you’ll be so glad you did…Written 20 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pfefmeisterSan Francisco, CA2,796 contributionsI like that you are allowed to walk around the site and experience this unusual venue instead of seeing through a wire fence. Very interesting stop, though not well signed. We followed Rick Steve’s directions to get there. Great stop.Written 8 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- MalawiExpatUnited Kingdom227 contributionsThere is a well marked path to the very scenic Sauce Creek from the car park at Brandon Point. From there you can do a circular walk back to the car park or just retrace your footsteps. It takes about 3.5 hours to do the circular walk.Written 9 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ellen NNorristown, PA32 contributionsWe stopped in on a Saturday to a warm welcome. We spent an hour visiting different rooms filled with original art by Irish artists. We settled on a small painting of a lake surrounded by mountains, a big sky and trees that will always remind us of our visit. Because we wanted to take it on the plane we needed the frame removed. The owner made a special trip in to do this for us, wrapping it in bubble wrap for the journey home. Just another lovely Irish person to remember!Written 6 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
