"This place is reverently amazing. Hearing the history from the property owners was a gift. Their respectful tending to history is such a special vocation. But truly… the sheep herding demonstration won our hearts! What an incredible stop from beginning to end!"
"Jerpoint Park easily became a group favourite on our Ireland trip! Maeve was quick to reply about bookings and we got in for a private tour of the medieval town as well as a sheepdog demonstration, all very affordable at €15/person. It was just our group when we got there but a tour bus showed up as we were leaving, so call ahead of time to really get that private experience. I was pleasantly surprised at how elaborate the tour was; covering the settlement history of the area, archaeological finds, architectural design of the ruins, and not to mention some notable names in the graveyard - including St. Nicholas (yes, Santa!) The owner, Joe, is kind, knowledgeable and entertaining. His tour was especially enjoyable as his passion for this unique history shows. If you’re looking to explore remnants of Ireland’s past in the beautiful countryside while hearing stories from a local, seriously don’t miss visiting Jerpoint Park. The sheepdog was also very cute haha ❤️"
"Amazing place! The owners are so, so friendly and always ready to help and answer questions. Also Chip is such a good boy! Please pet him for me! ❤️"
"A lovely stay here very quaint and full of history. We enjoyed our comfy room and a very nice hearty breakfast next morning. Followed by a free tour full of great information thanks to Joe and his lovely dog."
"What an amazing surprise this was for us. We pulled up just expecting a little laugh at the site of St Nick but got such an interesting background and view of the lost town of Jerpoint. Maeve was incredible to listen to and cares so much for this historical site she and her family have come across. This was one of the highlights of our trip."
