A beautiful house with a treasure trove of art steeped in fascinating history - Fabulous house tour with George - every bit of it so interesting. The art is spectacular - a treasure trove of beautiful historic art. George explained the history and art with such insight and humour and answered multiple questions. The stories about each of the three families who lived there since the 1700s is fascinating and their love of Ireland lovely to hear. The stories about how the art has survived despite multiple robberies is remarkable. We arrived after a beautiful drive through the Sallygap and Wicklow mountains. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Truly one of Irelands treasures. Highly highly recommended.

Would highly recommend - I organised a day trip to Russborough House for myself and a few friends. We had a fantastic time there. The house tour lead by George was fascinating to say the least. George was informative, funny and and an absolute Gentleman who took the time to answer any questions we had. The house is so beautifully kept and I would highly recommend a visit there. We lunched in the beautiful cafe. The staff were amazing, very helpful and attentive. In particular I would like to mention Lily, who was on hand constantly for all the customers. Lily made our experiences memorable. Thank you Lily, you are an asset to Russborough house. The shop and exhibition was an added bonus and we browsed for quite a while. The lady at the counter was very pleasant. We will definitely take another trip to Russborough house. Mairead Co. Kildare

Such a good moment - The 1-hour guided tour of the house with George was absolutely lovely ! The house itself is so well preserved, with respect for its history. Every piece of furniture or painting has a story, and George is a gifted speaker who shares his passion through this tour. Don't hesitate to book, it is 12€ more than well spent !

Intimate insight into bygone era - This was one of the best tours I’ve enjoyed. The Georgian house is amazing and the grounds are lovely and green. Our guide, Judy, was knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional. We were taken through all the main downstairs rooms and 4 of the 9 upstairs bedrooms. The furnishings, furniture, antiques, and artwork are superb. It was fantastic to have such an intimate insight into a bygone era. The ceilings are an artwork in themselves. The cafe was good - large and airy with good coffee and cake. The shop has a wide variety of quality goods - consumables, Knick knacks, etc. I would highly recommend an outing to Rossborough.
