Here is what our Customers are saying About us
From the moment we arrived we were so impressed on the whole experience and exceeded our expectations.
The grounds are immaculate , the tour is very informative and interesting . A lot of thought has gone into making this place an interesting and special place to visit. And you can see a lot of love and money has gone into this whole experience. Very quirky in every corner of the place.
The cafe has excellent choices of food and drinks and was nice and busy.
The shop was well stocked with lots of quirky items along with the gins, vodka and whiskey. And plenty of choices for gifts at various price points.
On the whole I will be recommending this tour to other people, it’s a gem in the heart of rural Ireland and a great story behind it.
And great to hear it has provided vast employment to the area.
I will definitely return to the cafe and gift shop and recommend any visitors that come to stay a with us take the tour.

Too many on the group to feel it not being up close and personal. Our group included some sort of mother and toddler group. Who brings screaming and crying toddlers (and new borns) to a distillery tour, and more importantly, who let's them in? Most distilleries have an age restriction. Spoilt the tour for us.
Also, there are no photos allowed? Why not? There was some amazing curios in here, and it's not as if we found out any industrial secrets.
Positives:
Grace was a really enthusiastic informative guide who handled the toddlers extremely well and tactfully.
Layout and tour first class. The tastings and the drink in the bar at the end were very enjoyable.
Cafe and gift shop up with the best of them.
Would I come again? Yes, but in a smaller group with no minors involved.
