We had a lovely visit to this wonderful estate, which offers a perfect mix of history, nature, and family-friendly fun. The house tour was well organised and informative, offering an insight into the property's history with an engaging guide and beautifully preserved rooms. The gardens and grounds are a true highlight—especially the walled garden, which was absolutely beautiful in full bloom. There was a little farm yard with rabbits, guine pigs, goats and chickens. The playground and woodland walk were a great space for children to explore and play. what our visitors say ***** Plan your day at wells house and gardens here Source: TripAdvisor I visited Wells House yesterday as part of a Volunteer Group and had a wonderful time. Loved the tour of the house and its history. Our guide was excellent and her love for the house shone through. We toured the beautiful gardens and were very well looked after too by the Cafe staff. Many thanks to all at Wells House for a most enjoyable day. what our visitors say ***** More about group visits We stayed last weekend for 3 nights. I fell across Wells House self catering accommodation online by accident really and we were so glad. We had a really lovely stay. The newly renovated accommodation is lovely. It had everything we needed. After the gates close to the public we had the grounds to ourselves more or less. There were a few other cottages occupied but we saw very few people. It was so peaceful. It was very good value for money we felt. The staff were lovely and helpful. The kids loved the animals, the walks and the playground. We attended the teddy bears picnic which the kids loved. We thought this place was a real hidden gem. We will definitely be back what our visitors say ***** More about self-catering stays Source: TripAdvisor We live in the bordering county of Wicklow so my wife and I went down to Wells House for a day trip. This place is a hidden gem and well worth a visit. It’s a beautiful historical property with gorgeous gardens and woodland walks. There is also self catering accommodation on site. All of the staff we met were super friendly and always checked to see if they could help you in any way. We will definitely be back.
