5.00Great bike hire company excellent electric bikes and cycled around muckross beautiful location and perfect length of cycle hire - don’t forget to add a little bit on to go down to Ross castle - still on cycle tracks - no road use at all. The tracks are all super smooth and easy and a stop at Dinas cottage well worth it and Torc waterfall, don’t forget to look round the gardens - lovely in May with all the flowers out. Think it was Andy who served us - very helpful bearded chap!

5.00We really loved the morning we spent biking around Killarney. We had everything we needed: bikes, helmets, a lock, and a map. It was so great to just explore independently, with plenty of time to see everything.

4.00Very peacfull route past wildlife and waterfalls. Bikes very good no problems. Map a bit confusing we got lost a few times. Workers very chatty and entertained children. Horse and carrige slightly annoying as they get in your way but overall very good would do it again (if my legs can very nackering.)

5.00Great way to get around the sites. We easily moved our reservation from one day to the next due to persistent rain. The bikes were easy to use and came with everything you need - helmets, basket, and locks.
A feast for people with Irish ancestors…or an eye for lakes and lavish gardens

5.00Muckross house and gardens are fantastic with wonderfully manicured gardens and exotic shrubs plus open access to walk around…all free except the house and museum BUT don’t miss the Traditional village and farm. I’ve seen many villages depicting life in the 1940’s/50 but this is the best by far. Live animals, pigs, horses hens chickens etc kitchen gardens (for the housewife) ploughing with horses and potato growing. The forge and village houses are l traditionally built and. furnished with traditional soda bread freshly baked on the open fire and freely offered to you to sample. Excellent work reflecting times gone by. A living social document. give yourself a couple of hours at least for the house, gardens and farm. It’s the best of its kind in Ireland. I hope you’ll like it!
Good job
