1850s Cottage
Discover The Glendeer Cottage
Step back in time with a visit to our original 1850s cottage. This traditional Irish cottage has been preserved to give visitors a close up view of rural life in 19th century Ireland. A really nice way for adults and children alike to see how people lived in times gone by.

Reviews
“Brilliant day out for families/groups with kids up to probably 12 years of age. Tickets and gift shop were good value. Loads of space to run around and a fantastic playground with an obstacle course (two sides for racing against each other)… We’ll be back!”

“Fabulous place to spend2-3 hours. We had two children 6 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed the animals, walks and playground. Very nice staff, good parking and lots of place for picnic.”

“Absolutely amazing day. Caters for all ages and is so reasonably priced. Even the cafe inside doesn’t overcharge parents and all the staff were so lovely. The owner really knows how to run a great business, we will be back multiple times this summer.”
