Kylemore Testimonials

Great destination for a trip from Galway. Interesting history of the history of the abbey. Ore er labora. One can only imagine how the live looked like of the nuns with hard work and prayers. Stunning garden with lot‘s of interesting plants.

A visit to Kylemore Abbey is a wonderful experience. The refurbished Abbey with its visitor centre is imposing and intimate at the same time. Beautifully done, and very interesting. The small gothic church is as intricate as a mini cathedral, and the gardens are magnificent, and everywhere the views are stunning. With a gift and coffee shop, (and a restaurant in better times), we happily spent the best part of the day there, and loved every minute.

Kylemore Abbey is well worth visiting. The Abbey is in a stunning location perched over the lake which reflects the castle. The walled gardens are a must. Created without a care for a budget and it shows. The glass houses which were built originally must have been a sight to behold with all the exotic fruits and flowers.

The neo-Gothic Church is not accessible for wheelchair users. Our shuttle bus to the garden is suitable for wheelchair users and most of the paths in the garden are accessible however there are some steep inclines and steps which prevent full access to some areas of the garden. Our shop and Café are fully accessible.
