Reviews
"Most beautifully presented place with a huge range of Irish products without the twiddly Dee. The range of good quality woollen ware is extensive as well as other clothing and homeware and crystal also. It’s nice what they have done with the building leaving a vestige of the old mill workings. The food hall has a good menu at reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit."
"A trip home wouldn't be complete without coming here. Wonderful selection of clothing, jewellery, foods, souvenirs and so much more. Elevator at the entrance make all 3 floors wheelchair accessible. The staff is fantastic and friendly. Special thanks to Vicky and Priscilla for the lovely chat and making us feel at home. Highly recommend stopping by the restaurant next door as well. Tasty things for all sizes of appetites. Looking forward to my next visit!"
"Blarney Woollen Mills - great tourist stop! Lots of parking, public washrooms, and there are a few restaurants/ cafes all accessible from the same parking lot. The woollen mills storefront has clothing, linens you name it - if you’re looking for a keepsake from your trip to Ireland, this is your place. I did find this location is a hotspot for tourist busses so prepare to wait in line if you visit mid day or during the lunch rush."
"Nice place full of variety. The almond croissant was absolutely delicious! I wish I could have taken one home. The pizza was fresh and made to order. I personally enjoy the greasy pizza style so if you do not, then do not get it. The sweaters were amazing. So soft compared to some places in the states and they were made right here in Ireland. Their a bit expensive but if you set out with a plan to buy something handmade, then your still winning! I enjoyed the experience!"
"As always a lovely visit, group loved it. Largest Irish Store in the world sure what else would you want. Staff very helpful and friendly and there is parking onsite. Lovely Restaurant, Bar and a Hotel onside also. Short Walk to Blarney Village and a walkway to Blarney Castle where u can kiss the Blarney stone. Give yourself plenty of time to experience everything Blarney has to offer. This place can get very busy when there is a cruise ship in at cobh as its a day trip destination for the cruise passengers"
