フォータ ハウス、樹木園、庭園の入場券

Interesting, and the guide was very informative. I would recommend FOTA house. The only issue we had was we went for coffee in the café before the tour and we waited ages for our coffees and snacks.

Glorious house and gardens. The tour of the house with Sean (if I remember his name correctly) was the best I've ever been on! He was so knowledgeable and passionate that it was a delight. The train stops right at the edge of the grounds. BUT: the signposting from the house back to the train is virtually non-existent. I wandered around for ages before being rescued by a couple in a car who kindly took me to the next train station. PLEASE, FOTA, PUT SOME SIGNS UP!

Wonderful arboretum even on a damp drizzly morning. Saw a red squirrel which made me happy and some superb trees. The gardens were also lovely. The house was interesting and there was lots to see but I didn't learn much that I didn't know. The guided tour was slightly repetitive and a lot of the information a bit obvious. The cafe service was extremely slow although the setting was pleasant and the food and coffee good when it eventually came.

Great tour! I couldn't believe how different people’s lives were back then. It was fascinating to see the different rooms of both the gentry and servants. The kitchens were amazing, especially to see how food was prepared and cooked. I particularly loved the ladies’ boudoir. I’d highly recommend a visit - the staff so friendly and welcoming, Loved it!

Had a lovely visit to Fota house taking in the stunning arboretum and gardens with all its color and life. Great and very informative tour with Mike around the house. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

I visited Fota house with my 90 year old mother and a friend yesterday and Lynn gave us a tour. We felt like VIPS as she gave us a tour all to ourselves even though we were late for the scheduled tour. She was so good at her job, full of entertaining stories and really brought the house to life for us. And we had a lovely cup of coffee in the tearoom after, highly recommended

Unique insight into the feeling of that time. Very dedicated guide. Highly recommended.

I was lucky enough to participate in a group guided tour of fota house and gardens. We were blessed with the best most informative guide - and I’m sorry but I can’t remember the ladies name. We did the garden tour followed by the house tour. The lady took her time with everyone’s questions snd had plenty of historical anecdotes! This was followed by a delicious lunch! It was a wet day and although some of the tour was out doors it didn’t dampen the spirits!

The first station were two elves, they had to make a train from 4 pieces of wood with Velcro. Send station was Mrs Claus where she read a book for ten mins which was poor. Then we met Santa and the first thing I noticed was his beard was ridiculous. He said come here and take a photo first. Then asked where we were from and made a joke about cork jerseys which the kids didn’t get. Then asked the kids what they wanted and my son said a motorbike, instead of being nice about it he said where is your licence. Then we were told to leave. Very short. My daughter came out and said he was clearly fake did you see his beard. And then they got books as a present, I felt so sad for my kids. Worse €115 spent!

A really interesting tour of the house with Lynn, a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Lynn was especially kind as we arrived at the wrong time for a tour but it was our only chance and she very kindly took us on our own tour. We are so glad that she did! Thank you Lynn, it was very informative with interesting stories.
