  €31 for a family ticket. The castle is lovely and a great tour but the grounds were very poorly maintained and the footpaths muddy and not maintained at all. Probably the worst kept grounds and gardens I have visited ina while.

  Huntington castle is very relaxing and not too commercialised. Very nice gardens and tea rooms (just drinks and cakes) no meals.
  Guided tour very interesting, starting at 2pm.

  I love visiting Huntington Castle I grew up beside it and it always makes me relive my child hood when I visit. Alexander has done an amazing job turning it Into one of the most beautiful places in the country to visit or to hold a wedding. Absolutely recommend a visit around the garden and for coffee and cake at the tea rooms in the courtyard which is so peaceful and pretty when it's sunny.

  Over the last 6 years I've visited a vast majority of castles, gardens and ancient houses, and this was by far one of the best I've been too. I read it was a hidden gem, and it certainly was. The garden was incredible with free roaming chickens, trees, fountains and ponds, and the house was stacked with historical artifacts that most other places I've visited wouldn't even come close. The young lad giving the tour really knew his stuff and gave a fantastic overview of the history. The dungeon was without question the best part of the house, as it's the centre point of an old egyptian religion the family revived that id never heard of and really needs to be seen in person, as describing it wouldn't do it justice. Anyone with an interest in castles and the like, mark this place down on your to-do list as it's well worth the day trip.

  Visited Huntington Castle with the family to see Santa. It was the best Santa experience we have ever been to and would highly recommend booking at Christmas.

  Looks lovely. Not wheelchair or buggy friendly. They conduct tours at specific times of the day.. however when we visited and paid for the upcoming tour of the castle it was cancelled at the time to allow wedding photos... no so much as an apology

  Stunning house and beautiful gardens. Amazing walks in the wilderness garden and yew tree avenue. Peacocks display in the gardens, pigs snuffle around and chickens scratch in the picturesque courtyard. The house tours are incredibly interesting and highly recommended. This was the best visit we made in the whole of Ireland, the staff and owners were incredibly helpful and delighted in showing us around. The kids loved running around and exploring. We will definitely come back again.

  Duration of house too short please include at least one bedroom on the tour, as it would havr been. Gardens were nice, St that time of year was expecting more flowers to be in Bloom, I liked the fact that it had a tea room and you could sit having tea and cake if you do wished, another one off my list of to do

  We were the only non staff guests staying in the castle. Was a highlight of our trip and walking the grounds was so delightful. Thank you to the gracious hosts!!!
