Muckross House
Muckross House, Kenmare Rd, Killarney, IrelandTel: +353 64 31440 • Web: Visit this site »
Designed by Scottish architect William Burns for Henry Arthur Herbert and completed in 1843, Muckross House is a Victorian splendour. The house changed hands several times before its final owner, Senator Arthur Rose Vincent, generously gave the estate to Ireland in his wife's memory. Few buildings are as perfectly situated. The view from every window is breathtaking and it is easy to become dazed before finishing the tour. The rooms are furnished with period furniture - many unique to the house. The basement gives a view of servant life including the enormous kitchen and impressive wine cellar. In other basement rooms, there are weaving and pottery demonstrations. You can tour the house on your own with a comprehensive guidebook or wait until sufficient numbers make up a guided tour. Check website for further info including admission prices.

- The friendly welcome of the guide in Muck Ross House.
- The touting of business by the men with horses and jaunting cars.
“I have visited many historical locations in Ireland not to mention worldwide and I have never encountered the friendship, personality and efficient of a guide in Muck Ross House named Patsy. Not alone was she working on reception on our arrival but we were also lucky enough to have her as our guide around this magnificent home. She spoke clearly and delivered the history of the building in a most friendly and competent manner. It is seldom one meets such a valuable member of staff these days and we were grateful to meet such a delightful young lady.”
