Such an amazing and very well tended garden hosted by Iris, who’s knowledge and enthusiasm is evident from the moment you arrive. If your interested in gardens/gardening or just taking some time out then this is the perfect interlude from a busy day or holiday and is regulary used for photographs for that special occasion ( a wedding was arriving as we were leaving ). I would completely recommend a visit and is superb value for money.

My name is Irene Kelly. My formal training includes basket making and horticultural skills, but my interest in crafts and gardening goes back to my childhood. I grew up in a household where making and creating were part of everyday life. This experience greatly enriched my life and so I enjoy the sharing and passing on of the knowledge and skills I have acquired over the years. Here at Green Road Gardens we offer a variety of classes including: basket making; gardening; crafts; stone carving; building living willow structures; vegetable and herb growing; preserving; and many more. Here our tutoring style involves lots of practical and hands on training in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Bespoke classes also available for groups on request.

Having attended this class last year and loving it, had a good idea of what to expect, but this one turned out to be so good, am already looking forward to booking a place in 2020. So much to learn and never enough time, as Irene is a natural teacher, patient and encouraging and has such a wealth of knowledge. So generous too, which we soon discovered when presented with her perfect home cooking. Make sure to explore her beautiful garden as you'll see hints of some of the other classes she gives. Bring a friend, they'll thank you.

Excellent choice for a family day out when in Wexcord county. Children can ride their bikes there and there is also a big picnic area with the playground. Peaceful and lush green with numerous little benches and places to rest your feet. There is a nice little lake with ducks and geese where you can sit and enjoy.

We visited Wells House this weekend just gone - in the middle of the dreadful pandemic. Firstly they have all the safety procedures down to a tee from queueing to social distancing and more hand sanitisers then you can shake a stick at! The grounds itself - excellent. 2 lovely wooded walks with loads to distract the kids en route. None of our 2 complained once on the walk and that's saying something! Great playground, nice coffee stop - loads of animals and archery going on as well as a craft courtyard. Very reasonable at 10 euro per car (not per person - so we paid 2 euro 50 each to get in). It's a great family day out - give it a try.

A stunning setting. House is so beautiful inside with lovely sofas and comfortable chairs in an old-world atmosphere. Staff were very attentive . We had afternoon tea and everything was excellent. Lovely teas to choose from and there was just too much food. We had to bring some home. The scones were so soft and fresh. Lovely walks in the grounds afterwards. A real treat.
