Emo Court

Free walk and parking. Great amenity in Laois. Lots of space for roaming around and a picnic is ideal. We did not go to the cafe, so can't comment on that.

Heywood Gardens

Reviewed By Martin1982_12 - Province of Leinster, Ireland

I only live 30km from this gem and had been here about 30 years as a young boy. My word, they are just gorgeous! So well maintained, it’s only such a shame the house was demolished in the 50s. It’s a pity more isn’t made of the gardens from a marketing and tourism point of view. Like a nice coffee shop. Well worth a visit if visiting Kilkenny Laois area- this needs to be integrated into a proper itinerary as it would be a lovely day trip from Kilkenny city coupled with the Discovery park, Abbeyleix and the Slieve blooms- we are hopeless at marketing in this country, we should be shouting from the rooftops about gems like these

I was staying for 2 nights on a Relax and unwind package with my wife. She availed of the Spa treatments included with the deal and I booked a round of golf. I joined a couple who had already booked, and we entered a seniors competition on the day. This cost €30 with my GUI membership. A lot of players used golf buggies so we may have slowed their play down a bit as we didn't have a buggy ourselves. The course was well designed, in great condition and very enjoyable
