The Ritz Carlton Powerscourt Reviews

This is one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. I've been twice and strongly recommend to everyone to go and visit the gardens!

Absolutely stunning views!! Immaculate rooms. I was planning on traveling into Dublin, but I changed my mind once I stepped foot into the lobby!

Great house and gardens lovely during the spring and summer pity the weather is rubbish today so hopefully it should be good visiting during the week

Couldn't really complain!
Tourist volumes not slowing down so don't expect the worlds fastest service - not their fault however!
The most gorgeous setting for a coffee and a slice of cake!

Beautiful house and gardens in stunning surroundings.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful, great food and a great garden centre .

Garden not to be missed
We have a good time there
I approve yalaaaaaaaa

Very beautiful specially on a sunny day. Lovely food in Avoca Cafe. Garden centre well worth a ramble around lost of quirky different types of things to take ur fancy. Really enjoyable day and experience, give it a shot.

One of my favourite places to visit, gardens are just stunning in any season. Great food especially the desserts

A really beautiful garden. The whole area is well maintained and kept clean. There are different routes you can choose to follow according to map. We took the shortest one about 2 hours. You still be able to see a lot of trees, flowers and fountains even with the short route. I like the Japanese garden the most.
The shops has a lot of wonderful gift for you to buy. You can also grab a quick snack on the go (cheaper option) or sit at the terrace cafe (pricier). I bought a scone in one of the shop. It taste great. You can also get other baked goods there.
There's also an ice cream stall outside the building near the entrance door.
There's a lot of free parking space near by so you don't have to worry about parking your car.
Take note for the visitor who are in wheelchair or have difficulty of walking, you probably can't go to all parts of the garden due to steps and uneven hilly path. You may enjoy sitting at the terrace cafe.

Such an amazing place to visit, so much to see and do, will defo be back

Beautiful well maintained house and gardens. Lots of leg room for little people to use up they're energy. There's lots of lovely sections to the gardens, Japanese garden, walled garden, dolphin garden and a nice pet graveyard. The views from the gardens are also fabulous. A nice relaxing way to spend a sunny afternoon.

Fantastic place. A must do... Don't forget the waterfall!

It made me a little expensive for what it is, although they are still spectacular

Beautiful place and the Japanese Gardens were stunning

This is one of the best spots to visit in Wicklow. The preservation and upkeep of the gardens is absolutely amazing. I have never seen anything quite like it.

Only stopped there for quick lunch. Delicious and healthy.

If you love flowers or fresh air walks or just need to clear the mind... the views are breath taking.

Spectacular setting and gardens, would go more often if garden entrance fee was lower.

Hard to get in to in a 40 foot coach but the experience is well worth it once in. Free brew and a cake for the driver, toilet drop and wash facility to keep your coach clean.

Very beautiful garden and "castle environment" a little outside Dublin

Wonderful place with lots of walking and learning. I loved the audio tour and suggest you do it and hit all the stops. The trees and Japanese garden were my favorites. The story of the place is like a movie played out via the audio tour.

Stunning award winning gardens in the most magical of natural settings

I'd forgotten how fabulous these gardens are. Well worth a visit.

Very nice grounds and beautiful scenery. We are from Canada and the day we visited Powerscourt we had rented a Taxi which took us here and down the road to a waterfall that was out of this world.
Our trip to Ireland was awesome and I hope we are able to visit again.

Wonderful place, amazing room, great breakfast, wonderful surroundings.

Lovely Gardens it's a lovely walk parts are steep not really suitable for kids in buggies but we still had a good time weather was good met Peter Kay but he didn't want to talk or let me take pictures of him. It is 10 for admission to garden

Absolutely beautiful gardens. Free likeable audio tour. Amazing trees, flowers, rose garden and my favorite was the rododendrons walk. Have a break at one of the benches near Dolphins Pond and feel bliss.

Handsomely. Japanese garden, ROSAR, view as a whole. Delicious English skon in a cafe and shop! Well, just the best scones! I took the recipe! If there was a clear rain in Dublin, then there is SUN!

The colours of Autumn in Powerscourt this weekend have been truly spactular... especially 2 places... The drive upto the house and gardens and 2 ...the colours in the Japanese Gardens... Powerscourt Gardens are world class. Thank you for the fabulous job you do!

I got off on the Dublin bus and walked from there. Very good view for refreshing.

Great place to visit, they gardens are a lovely place to visit and relaxing, you have to pay to get in there worth it in the summer not in the winter for obvious reasons, nice restaurants there bit expensive and there is a Avoca shop there that sells pretty much everything you get in the restaurant but a lot cheaper, lots of parking spaces.

Really a very nice park, unfortunately, here is a fairly high admission fee required. Worth seeing is the plant in front of the panorama of the Great Sugar Loaf in any case.

Always a winner, rain or sun, great gardens and tasty food. Looking forward to seeing the new distillery next time!

Charge to enter gardens is 11.50 per adult. The gardens were nice but this is definitely over priced. Many other gardens/parks that are free or cheaper would be a much better option.

Beautiful gardens, you can spend a nice time surrounded by greenery and beautiful landscapes. Lots of parking spaces restaurant, golf course and garden shop

Beautiful house and gardens - must visit if in Dublin for a few days, especially if the sun is shinning.

We had a fantastic experience and continue to visit every time we are in Wicklow. The gardens are beautiful and the food is delicious.

To do in Ireland. Sublime garden with surreal beauty. Silver statuses come straight out of a fairy account. Many things available for tourists and families. An enchanting moment in Ireland, there will be others.

Fabulous gardens, quite expensive, the audio guide is excellent, but wasn't working for half the day.

Very sour. Lots to see. Good food. Beautiful nature. In Ireland.

Absolutely stunning place would highly recommend beautiful.

Easily accessible and well worth a visit, these are some of the best gardens in the world! I highly recommend a trip out here.

This beautiful house and gardens has been voted the 3rd best gardens in the world,once owned by the slazenger family this beautiful house and gardens have been restored too their former beauty,situated in a small village of EnnisKerry the grounds also house a beautiful hotel and golf course also on the grounds off the house is the highest water fall which is 6 kilometers from the house it has a lovely restaurant run by avoca where the staff and food is excellent well worth a drive out to

Lovely gardens. Had lunch at Avoca. Well spaced. Can't go there now as it is in Wicklow and I'm I. Dublin.

Beautiful place! With a lot of plants, Japanese garden are amazing! And view of the lake - really good. You must see it! But they have trouble with how to get there, because if you don't have a car - you need to walk, or to get taxi - because public transport is not available.

It is a beautiful place very picturesque had a lovely lunch at the Distillery

Beautiful park with several gardens and a great terrace.

Beautiful and peaceful gardens. Really interesting japanese garden as well. Great place to go for a walk and have a coffee (avoca).

Beautiful scenery and lovely hotel. Shame the quality of services wasn't quite as high as expected

Only 30 minutes from Dublin city center, and voted #3 Garden in the World according to National Geographic. Everytime I come home to Dublin, I take a visit to Powerscourt. It's free to walk the grounds of the house but a small entry fee is required to see the gardens and you won't be disappointed. The magnificent views of the Wicklow mountains and the Sugar Loaf are alone worth the visit. The cafe has a wide selection of food and drinks, provided by Avoca. Avoca Hand Weavers also have their shops on site selling hand made wool garments as well as their famous bread and cakes. Perfect for a few hours relaxing in the countryside and if you want to stay longer, you can book into the Powerscourt hotel and spa. By far one of my most cherished places to visit in Ireland.

I think it's completely overpriced. The house cannot be visited and the gardens are nothing special. Again sold a bit dearly and nothing behind it. Better go for a walk somewhere that is just as interesting and cheaper ...... and not so crowded.

A great place to spend your day with your girlfriend/wife and kids. Beautiful!!!
