Class act all around! Tom and the entire crew made our family feel welcome on a rainy blustery day! The tour was so engaging, site so interesting, and Cafe so warm and cozy that we all could not have experienced a better day! Thank you very much!

Very nice experience seeing the sheepdogs at work. Good explanation on their training and what they are expected to do. The fort tour is also enjoyable and educative. Highly recommend it. We did the 11 am demonstration and fort tour and then went to Doolin and the Cliff of Moher before heading to Lahinch for an overnight stay at Vaughan lodge. It was a wonderful day. .

We visited Caherconnell Fort as part of our trip to Galway. We attended the afternoon sheepdog demonstration and honestly could not recommend it highly enough. We were introduced to all four dogs and got to see them all in action, rounding up and then separating the sheep. We then got an ‘up close’ experience of the sheep, which was so informative. Our guide for the duration was superb and we couldn’t believe he was only 17! My 12 year old nephew said it was one of the best things he has ever done - he even got the opportunity to direct one of the dogs, something he will remember for a long time. Great to see a farm diversifying in such a unique way. The viewing areas even come with a covering, ensuring the weather doesn’t impact on your visit. We had coffee from the coffee shop before leaving and the staff there were so lovely too (especially the lady with the Armagh connections, who spotted my nephew’s jersey!), and the gift shop has something for everyone - for us it was a sheep wearing a peaked cap!

We were thrilled to see this was close to our B&B and so excited to see the dogs, having two of our own (very unskilled) dogs waiting for us at home. This completely lived up to the hype in the reviews and exceeded our expectations. We took the stone fort tour beforehand and it was very comprehensive, but because it's not an extensive space, it didn't drag on and our tour guide, Tom, did an excellent job of keeping us on pace despite chatty group members (every group has at least one...). Great for adults and kids alike. Would visit again!

We are six adults in our 30's and the sheepdog demonstrations were by far one of our favorite activities while we visited Ireland!! The instructor was so funny and all the staff were so nice. We couldn't stop laughing watching Rose goof off the whole demonstration as well. So informative and SO fun!!!!

Today my friend and I went to Caherconnell Fort for lunch and what a treat it was!! I had the most delicious chicken caesar salad I have ever eaten. It was freshly prepared and a generous portion. The staff were friendly and helpful during a very busy period. Unfortunately we didn't have time for a tour or to see the sheepdog demonstration, but we will definitely be back, and it will give us another opportunity to have chicken caesar salad again. I would highly recommend Caherconnell Fort for a day trip or even just for lunch.

The Caherconnell experience was excellent . We really enjoyed the tour of the fort with our tour guide Pat . He was hugely knowledgeable and extremely entertaining and easy tom listen to . After the tour we went to see the sheep dog demonstrations which was also very enjoyable . Everyone at Caherconnell is so professional and helpful and pleasant . I cannot recommend this place and experience highly enough . The scenery of the surrounding area is fabulous too.

Great experience, learning about the sheep, the dogs, the different calls and training tactics. The hosts were all so nice and happy to answer any and all questions. The main guy was entertaining yet informative. The dogs happily came over to us after they were finished showing off for some ear scratches and belly rubs. So glad we did this!

The dogs were amazing, the dog handler did a great job in spit of the weather, was very knowledgeable of the breeds of sheep and handled the dogs nicely. He had a great sense of humor as well, and so did the tour guide. It made the visit very enjoyable!

The tour of the ring fort was very interesting, lots of history and the story of the archeological dig by one of the archeologists who had found some artifacts herself. The sheepdog demonstration was very well done. The sheep farmer explained how the dogs were trained and the length of time it took to train a dog. He demonstrated the various whistle calls and maneuvers the dogs make, as well as having them do a live demonstration. Also got to meet and pet the dogs afterwards. We loved it
