If you have children or grandchildren, Dromkeen offers a variety of activities including storytime and plenty of space for them to explore the gardens. They also make a great latte!"
"Have been a few times now, never disappoints. Everyone there is so knowledgeable about the house, it's history, that of the featured artists & they all obviously have great passion & enthusiasm for what they do. The Cafe is also really good, foods always amazing & inexpensive. The gallery itself is also really amazing & the surrounding grounds are so picturesque!! Definitely would come back again."
"Great cosy gallery and fantastic local cafe. We came there for the Dromkeen tea rooms, the frequently updated menu had a great variety of tasty hot meals and the scones were well portioned and delicious. The shop keeper, Bernadette was friendly, knowledgeable and generous with her time, showing us the gallery and telling us the local history of the Gallery."
