    This is one of the most beautiful gardens my eyes have ever seen in my entire lifetime- and that is…read moresaying a lot! We actually found these by accident as we were looking for the waterfall that is in the area. We went into these gardens with no prior knowledge or expectations. After we purchased the tickets and went through the door and were instantly greeted with a view worth millions. Fantastic stone work, statues, manicured grounds and flowers are all around. The trails were beautiful and did I mention the VIEW!!!!!! It is one of those rare places where the pictures don't do any justice. I loved all of the bee and butterfly friendly flowers. I also was seeing some of these types of flowers for the first time which was really brilliant. This place is so beautiful. Take a look at some of my pictures. I really hope that people consider coming here especially if you enjoy nature and gardens. Highly recommended.

We could have visited the gardens for free that day, but didn't want to ruin my tuxedo and shoes. We came back the next day and paid the 14 euros for access. The gardens are sprawling and vast with different trails and elevations. There's an old lookout tower which we climbed. The Italian gardens were beautiful with most flowers in bloom. Give yourself time and use the map to see the many different types of plants and flowers. Probably the most dense and diverse of any other garden tour. My wife especially loved the pet cemetary and became emotional after reading many of the headstones. The house is also very nice with a food area and gift shops within. Supposedly there's a castle within the house of which you could see some of the old framing. There is also a video loop of the estate and its features and history. It doesn't take too long to watch and is quite insightful.

    The best 5 days we have had in a long time. So worth every penny…read more The boat was spacious, warm and comfortable. We really enjoyed driving it, given it was was our first time on a boat we were suprised at how well it went. We learnt to open the locks ourselves quite quickly and the lock keepers were fantastic too if you don't want to open them yourselves. Highly recommended

    During the slump of 2020 I decided to reach out to Paul at Jennifer's Travels to rent a barge three…read moreyears out, something to keep our spirits high. We just came back from our AppleJack adventure and we loved every minute of it, it is adventure travel, and Paul taught us what we needed to know and we had a blast. We only saw two other boats in the canals moving along and the rest was just the 4 of us, birds, flowers, canal fish, and lovely peaceful times. In the evenings we hung out at the Fisherman's Thatched Inn and between time on the boat and time in the pub, we were very happy and felt included in a real Irish experience. We took the train from Dublin to the Monasterevin and you can easily walk to the boat from the train platform. We walked to the grocery store which is very good and brought groceries onto the boat. The kitchen is very well supplied and cooking for ourselves onboard was a fun experience. Take out can even be brought to the Fisherman's Inn address for meal drop off - we did this twice with ease. Trust this company, trust yourself to Captain the boat and work the Irish canal locks (with the lockmaster's and Paul's tutorial). Give your family an amazing and unique memory - Paul Wallace and AppleJack are stars!
