This was a side trip from our stay in Doolin and was definitely worth it! While it was off the beaten path, the signs were easy to follow and the scenery was fantastic. We really enjoyed the video about the flowers and plants of the Burren and the products are amazing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. More

After a long and tough ride what a pleasure to pull up into this tranquil site. The garden was just awakening for the season but still fun. There was a plant "body" in a real bed and a real bathtub. How playful. The short film was nicely done. Food in the tearoom worth it. All done there. Yum! Lots to... More

We live in Galway and decided to check out this place. It is easy to find even though its in the back of beyond. The shop is lovely, we were shown a 10 minute video about the Burren which is just enough time with small kids!!! In the shop you are allowed to try all the products which are a... More

An incredible place, magical in fact. The products are incredible, the slideshow great fun and the coffee shop has the best cake. Ignore the fact that it seems you're lost as you're driving there, you'll find it. It's in another world, and rightly so. Love love love it! More

Based on a suggested tour I found on line, we drove way out into the Burren to visit the Perfumery. Even tho it was winter and the gardens were sleeping, the place was still amazing and one of my favorite destinations. A beautiful herb garden with a wonderful shop with the most amazing smells. What a find! More

Beautiful little place, the location is surreal and the perfumery itself is so quaint and pretty. The products are fabulous, as someone who suffers from every skin allergy under the sun, the soaps here are great! I bought exquisite gifts that have received rave reviews. A real gem! More

The Burren Perfumery was on our list of places to visit, if we had the time and happened by. We encountered a detour and then discovered signs pointing us to the Burren Perfumery and so we headed that way. Getting there and finding the perfumery was no small feat! The road is very narrow, winding and hilly. There are very... More

Stumbling across this in the hard burren is like finding a little oasis. Beautiful gardens which are free to wander around, delicious cafe with home cooked food and the shop is heavenly. The smells hit you from all sides of the essential oils and plants. Just wonderful, we all loved it. More

My husband and I decided to go here since it was rainy and windy and we couldn't go to the Aran Islands. We started with the movie about the burren which was interesting. They have a store cat which curled up on my husbands lap during the movie. The store itself had a ton of products. We brought home soaps,... More
