Strokestown Park Museum Restaurant in Strokestown

I was glad I saw Strokestown house before the Famine Museum because it gave context to the tragedy of the Famine

Absolutely excellent Irish Famine museum and house and gardens … pride and great History lesson , our admiration for the gentleman who took upon himself to open this museum for all Irish people and the world to know about the walk from Strokestown !

Went there for a geography field trip. The people of Ireland should never forget this episode of their history. The UK can never pay Ireland back for what itbhad done. Greedy english landlords

Very interesting museum and informative tour of the house, so five stars for that but: zero for the cafe- just avoid it and spend your money somewhere else - didn’t have such a terrible latte and hot chocolate for ages. It was just ridiculous - train the staff or close the shebeen down guys…

One of the best looks at life during the famine times in Connacht. Visited for a school project and gave me better insights than most books on the subject and my history teachers.

Definitely worth the money. Very modern.

Fantastic modern museum built into the stables of the old estate. Very informative and harrowing.

What a national treasure Strokestown House is, it also has a fantastic guide in Grace. She brought the entire tour to life. If it was a 3 hour tour, it wouldn't still reveal all the history of such a home. It deserves millions so the entire property is painstakingly preserved. The largest collection of Irish Famine records are in the process of being digitalised, that will be another string in the bow of this fabulous estate. The gardens and glasshouse with grape vines, fig trees, and rare fruits is a delight to meander through.

We did the Christmas experience. It was so well done and well thought out.

Very moving. Well worth a visit.
