If you are in or near Waterford certainly worth a visit, steeped in history with international connections this place is a wonder as definitely worth the visit. The cafe is great and the tours are brilliant
Had afternoon tea today for a friends baby shower at The Stables Cafe at Mount Congreve. I could not recommend them more. Nelson was a pleasure to deal with. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. They were so accommodating and gave us a gorgeous private room. The food was incredible and there was so much for everyone. Fantastic value for money and such a beautiful place to celebrate any occasion.
Beautiful place and extensive gardens. There is also an app you can download and listen to audio stories of the garden
Visited this beautiful house and gardens over St Patrick’s weekend. I thought the gardens were beautiful with lovely little trails to follow and lots of stunning specimen trees. If you love Magnolias and Camellias you will adore it. The house is stunning too, I’d love to do a tour of it too if this becomes possible in the future. I thought the audio presentation on the family who owned the house and gardens was very interesting and well done, the Stables cafe and gift shop I thought was great too - food was very good and normal kind of prices. It’s on the Greenway too so it would make such a lovely drop off point for refreshments. A really lovely place for a family day out, highly recommend.
Free carpark. Wonderful walks and scenery. Gift shop. Cafe. Dogs are welcome but must be on a lead.

We drove to the gardens from Cork because it was supposed to be one of the best gardens in all of Ireland. We liked the view from the temple and that the forest offered some shade, but that's it. Overall, we wouldn't come here again because we found other Irish gardens much better than this one. The signs were in such bad condition/in parts non-existent that we got lost several times. The waterfall was dried out, the greenhouse was under construction, the whole property generally appeared slightly unloved and neglected, very few flowers were in bloom in the walled garden, the pond was only green and not well maintained. It was nice to have a walk here for a day but we both expected more from the entrance fee. I wouldn't recommend for anyone to drive 90 mins one way to go see the garden but if you're in the area, why not visit?
My favourite place for a day out. Beautiful gardens with lovely trails, secret stairways and amazing bushes, trees and flowers.
Unfortunately, tickets, gift shop and cafe are too expensive.

We had a fabulous day here , staff at entrance were very helpful sorting out a mistake which I had made with our booking. Cafe and shop are lovely and the walk around the gardens was so enjoyable. Contrary to a recent review, we saw only a well cared for place , which staff should be very proud of. We will recommend it to everyone. Beautiful gardens
The gardens are absolutely gorgeous!!! I walked around for two hours even though it was raining! I have so many photos that will definitely become paintings! There is a very good selection of products in the shop!
The food is very good. Hot chocolate is delicious! The banoffee didn’t have much bananas… The employees don’t seem to know what they need to do. But maybe they were in training.

A fantastic house with beautiful gardens. So many plant species to see, but the magnolias are the stars here. Great value and there's a cafe also.... or you could bring a little picnic 😊
Stopped by when I was cycling on the Greenway, which led me in from the back entrance. It was a shame that I arrived at 2pm and the back entrance closes at 4, made me feel a bit rush to see around the garden since it is huge. To me, the garden seemed too big and they can't afford to take care of everything. At some area, it looked sloppy, which is understandable considering the size and how hard it is to maintain everything. I'd suggest reducing the public access area so that it would allow it better maintained. Personally, loved the sign to make us immerse ourselves in the nature.
Newly reopened Mt. Congreve Gardens is a fabulous day out! There are miles of garden walks with something interesting around ever corner: secret stairways, garden hideaways, pools, outdoor "rooms", and even a railway! The new cafe has a lovely selection of hot and cold items with both indoor and outdoor seating. The shop is really nice and has a huge selection of things that would charm a gardener of every age. Tickets should be booked ahead online. Open daily. Well worth the trip!
Although early in the season the gardens are serene and calming. I can only imagine how beautiful and colourful it will be as spring progresses. The paths are well marked with clear informative signage and plentiful with lots of little paths and steps to explore. Views I've the river are stunning too.
I hadn't been since school trips in the 80s but am looking forward to another visit when flowers are in bloom.
Cafe food is delicious and flat white was well made.
