What travellers are saying
- Alan N1 contributionWent to the Christmas show with my Grandchildren. Fantastic experience for them, magical setting, excellent interaction by all the team with the kids. Best value around. We'll be back! Many thanks to all involved.Written 3 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Aman KNaas, Ireland1 contributionThere are so many wonderful reasons to visit Biddy's cottage, and yet the most important one is simply to meet Biddy herself, who is such a sweet, charming and lovely person. Spending time with her felt like having spent time with a dear friend. Thank you so much Biddy for all your kindness, for being such a gracious host, for the lovely stories, for the amazing food and drinks, and especially for making us feel so welcomed and at home.Written 18 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- crayolabirdSavage, MD609 contributionsAbsolutely EXCELLENT service offered by Ken the Ferryman! We actually ended up being taken over to Dalkey by his brother but we had such a fabulous experience! Everyone in a lifejacket it felt safe and the ride itself was so picturesque. When we saw more seals ahead, our ride even was extended a bit in order to get a good look at all the seals.
We were able to make contact with Ken on the morning we wanted to go over and getting it scheduled was no trouble at all. We left right on time and just gave a call when we wanted to be picked up and the boat was there fifteen minutes later! I am SO GLAD my sister in law told me about Ken's service because this was one of our favorite adventures on our trip to Ireland!Written 11 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's already very impressive from the outside, but it is worth arranging a visit inside.

- jeanannwhittleNewcastle upon Tyne, UK12 contributionsFantastic grounds and amazing view of the loch. Good walks but map showed coloured arrow walks, but the arrows on the post were name of people, just wandered rather followed a set walk, so probably missed parts of the grounds. Good reason to go back. Castle closed but still impressive from the outside.Written 16 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
