We happened along this wonderful studio 3 years ago during our 2 week trip around Ireland. It still sits so clearly in my mind. Wonderful atmosphere, the craft of weaving in such traditional means with extremely old looms was fascinating. A highlight of our trip and Cyndi was so generous with her time.

Immensely enjoyed my visit to this fabulous gallery. Work had an international aspect as well as depicting the Irish landscape in a multifaceted way. My visit was all the more enriched by a personal sharing from artist owner whose work was really the star of the show.

A great indoor activity for a rainy day. The well preserved cottages gave a fascinating insight into old rural life in Ireland. The videos that played on the projectors were particularly informative. We then stopped off at the cafe for some homemade soup and sandwiches followed by Irish coffee and apple pie. The cafe was very affordable and the portions filling. Great day out overall.

Stepping into a time capsule of the important history of Ireland, with a heart warming welcome, followed by a very comprehensive and often humorous guided tour, followed by as much time as one needs, to soak up the information, revisit the period scenes and read the wealth of wall charts........ just perfection. Situated in a staggeringly beautiful part of irelands Atlantic coastline, it really is everything one could wish for. It is very very different, and - for me - well worth the time to explore Ireland as it was, and for sure poses many questions. Afterwards, in the cafe situated in the car park, take time enjoying a cup of tea with a fresh scone whilst looking looking out over the bay. It really is something different. Expect to be surprised!

Pleasant afternoon, short intro film followed by very informative tour. The mill is small, but very nicely restored. Makes a nice short stop. Loads of parking.
