This place, i loved. Staff are very friendly. We got wheaten bread and tea/coffee on arrival while we waited for our tour guide. The tour guide was friendly and explained everything in good detail and when the tour was over after 45mins he let us look around and take photos. Would recommend and go back. More

The Famine Village is a fantastic, family-run attraction that you will never come across anywhere else in the world.

While staying at Ballyliffen a friend recommended that we visit the Doagh Famine Museum. We did not know what to expect as it looks very small from the outside but was surprised at how big it is. We were met by a very friendly member of staff and went tp the waiting area and were served with tea and coffee.... More

This is a little off the beaten track, but well worth the visit. It is €7.50 per adult. This covers a tour, and tea/coffee with brown bread and biscuits. The tour was very insightful into life years ago, and meanings behind some sayings we have in Ireland, UK and even France. It gives a good background to traditions we had,... More

It is an eye opener to the way people lived day to... More
