Nice stop off in a lovely scenic location. From gifts to a well stocked cafe, it's worth a visit..

Great place with shop, delicious but expensive coffee (4 euros) and the factory to visit in an idyllic setting!

A piece of living Irish heritage! Avoca Handweavers is such a fascinating place to visit — not just a shop, but a story woven through generations. You can really feel the history in the fabrics, colors, and textures, each carrying the spirit of Ireland’s craftsmanship. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, and it’s easy to get lost among the beautiful weaves, natural products, and local flavors. A visit here is more than shopping — it’s stepping into Ireland’s cultural soul.

The items in the shop are expensive but it's a good spot for lunch.

What a pleasure and privilege it was to visit this historic place guided by the formidable Alan. He's a born storyteller and he brought the characters of this centuries old important site to life.

We had a great time and an awesome tour of the weavers. Alen, our guide was wonderful and very enthusiastic about the craft and the history of it all. Drop by and take the tour, then head into the shop and grab something nice.

Suitable for purchasing woolen goods, cakes and tea are also available.

Beautiful shop and café with a charming mix of traditional Irish craftsmanship and modern style. The handwoven textiles are gorgeous—perfect for gifts or souvenirs—and there’s a lovely selection of food, home goods, and clothing. The café serves delicious meals and baked goods in a cozy setting. A bit on the pricey side, but the quality is worth it.
