Traveler reviews
Fota house
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 & grounds ... but virtually no signage back to the station
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!
An interesting visit and an exceptional arboretum
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.
Fantastic tour, highly recommend
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!
Lovely visit to Fota house.
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.
