Lovely stables and staff, and happy horses. We came for my niece's 9th Birthday in the winter and the instructor was brilliant, clearly very passionate about keeping his riders safe. I was impressed the children learned how to groom after their riding session on that occasion. Today we came back as part of our 2020-staycation and it was just an unforgettable experience. Would recommend for something different this summer. Very cool place !

These house and gardens are wonderful to walk around. I would advise pick up a map when paying for ticket to ensure you know where you are going. Stunning views of the Sugar Loaf mountain and fantastic rose garden in full bloom. It was slightly hazy when we arrived but the sun burnt of the mist. Fabulous day for families and couples alike - loads to see and do

I have had several massages here, my preference is for a deeper massage - the masseuse was excellent and checked if I was happy with the service - I was and look forward to my next visit. All staff were very friendly and accommodating. Please note this spa is recognised as one to treat cancer patients and the atmosphere would pit anyone at ease.

Powerscourt Waterfall

Powerscourt Waterfall is Ireland's highest at 121m (398ft). It is set in North County Wicklow just outside Enniskerry Village. The magnificent Waterfall cascades down over the granite rocks from the peatlands above. The crystal clear water flows down to the river below where it continues on its journey out to sea at Bray. The valley itself was carved out by a glacier during the ice age! Today Powerscourt is a haven for some of Ireland's wildlife, flora and fauna. The Sikka deer were first introduced here by Lord Powerscourt in 1858. The Waterfall is best seen just after heavy rain and the sheer volume of water and noise is certainly a sight to behold. The Waterfall is an ideal location for summer picnics and barbecues. There is a vast amount of space to keep children entertained. There is also a playground for younger children. Don't fret if you forget your picnic as there is a kiosk on site that serves everything from coffee and tea to hot-dogs and ice-cream. The kiosk is open everyday from the 1st June to the end of August and year round at weekends, if weather permits. There is ample car parking and toilet facilities at the waterfall. Dogs are welcome but they must be on a leash. Take time to explore the pathways that meander through the flora and fauna, walk along the woodland pathways and listen to the birdsong.
