We chose to walk instead of taking the shuttle from farm house to farm house, which resulted in much hilarity, but very wet clothes and muddy shoes and pants. It was interesting to see the differences between different income levels and farm sizes, and we were given samples of soda bread, which was a fun addition. We got to pet... More

We visited Muckross Farm on Good Friday and what a lovely day out. We have a 6 year old girl. The women in the different houses provided a good history of 'Ireland in the old times'. There was a fire lit in each house which was very welcoming and also some white soda bread to whet the appetite! Our little... More

We visited Muckross during our trip around Kilarney National park. It was like travel in time back to 1930s. The village looks authentic, it was very interesting to see how people lived and worked what the houses interior was. The farms even were completed with animals. Our kids and we really enjoyed the experience. More

The folk in the gift shop were not very welcoming. We were disappointed at their lack of Irish hospitality. Then we met our tour guide, Mr Tom (I think his first name was Tom) Blennerhasset and his warm greeting in his Kerry accent won us over. From the moment we entered the brightly coloured, antique bus we knew we were... More
