Review

Russborough House and Parkland is a quintessential Irish tale of triumph and revival, hope and desire. The historic house and its majestically sprawling parkland offer a compelling narrative of success, decline, and a recent resurgence. A visit here is a day well spent, as there is an abundance of activities both inside and outside the house. The vintage movie cinema was a personal favourite of mine, transporting visitors back in time with captivating holiday cine reels, I could have literally sat there for hours watching those. The estate exudes a vibrant atmosphere, with a dedicated team of staff eager to guide you through its many offerings. Russborough House and Parkland effortlessly combine history, entertainment, and the beauty of the Irish countryside, making it a must-visit destination. With a fabulous on-site cafe, sporting an array of tasty dishes, cakes and teas and coffee, seriously, you’ll not want to leave!
