Fota House is one of Ireland’s finest examples of Regency period architecture with superb neoclassical interiors. The main house dating from 1820, remained in the sole ownership of the Smith-Barry family for 155 years and today it shares the compelling life story of this family and their household staff. It also houses one of the largest collections of landscape paintings spanning the 17th to 19th century. Now an Irish Heritage Trust Property, a visit to Fota House set amongst 115 acres, within the original 780 acre estate promises endless opportunities for adventure. It features a globally renowned arboretum with a collection of rare and exotic plantings from the southern hemisphere, formal and working gardens that evolve with colour, scent & texture through each passing season

We had an excellent house tour with our guide Mike, who had lots of interesting historical detail and stories about the house to tell. For anyone interested in old houses, Regency/Victorian upper class living and how things were done in the old days, we highly recommend this tour. We didn’t get a chance to try out the café but we walked around the vast arboretum and gardens, all very beautiful and special. It was not too busy, just a really nice place to visit!

We had the best experience ever! We were lucky to have Maeve as a guide ,and I must say that she’s amazing. We were told a lot of stories about the place , all the details and she was the most patient when our 4 yo interrupted her a lot of times.. Her knowledge is amazing , and also very nice and clear so we understood 100% of what we were told. We felt that we are brought back in time , that someone still lives there , the atmosphere was so real Thank you , Maeve! We’ll be back soon ! ????

We have visited Fota House cultural trip a group of English students from an Adult School. Our guide Lynn has been a fantastic companion in our experience adapting English at all times to our students. A 10 in kindness and attention. We loved the recreation of the mansion, as well as the gardens surrounding it. It has been a pleasant visit and 100% recommended.
