Muckross House is very nice and the tour is worthy. While it is very nicely explained by tour guides, we thought it was too rushed at times and we didn't have time to admire some of the beautiful things in the house. It was a pity that no photography was allowed... The gardens are beautiful and i recommend to walk... More

We took elderly relatives to Muckross House not knowing if there would be a wheelchair available to borrow or not - but there was, and the house is fitted with elevators that give the wheelchair access to almost every bit of the guided tour. You have to wait for a tour, so we filled in the time by taking a... More

Our group - two sixty-fives and two forties - spent a whole day in the park. The more adventuresome headed out on several hikes and the mom (me) thoroughly enjoyed the house tour and gardens. The tour guide was well versed and managed to keep everyone in our group (including Swedish tourists & a young child) interested in her presentation.... More

I always say "its hard to believe someone owned all of this and lived here" when I visit these "stately homes". the gardens are impressive, and the house is okay if youre into that sort of thing. I wouldnt rate it as a family day out, as the kids wouldnt enjoy it a whole lot. More

i really loved the house and the tour was great. The gardens were very well maintained and the restaurant was good value and the food was of a high standard More

Both Muckross House itself and its surrounding gardens are not only beautiful and well worth exploring, but are also of historic interest. I would highly recommend a guided tour of the house. The informative tour guides give a fascinating account of the history of the estate particularly the connection with Queen Victoria. The interior of the house has been extremely... More
