Pleasant afternoon

 

Myself and my mother did the guided tour. We really enjoyed it ,the guide was really knowledgeable, interesting and good company. Any workers we met were pleasant and happy to be there. There are 2 gift shops with a nice selection of books and gift items, they can be accessed without doing the tour and we had a coffee in the café in the garden which has fab menu.

Garden oasis Cork City

 

Hard to describe this absolute gem in Cork City. Sitting in the grounds of an old convent its an oasis of peace and calm. Beautiful and tranquil garden … so peaceful and draws you to sit and contemplate. Wonderful cafe with the best coffee I’ve had in ages (I’m usually a tea addict) and add in the warmth and welcome of really lovely people to make you feel part of something special. The museum well worth the time …the history of Sr Nano Nagle …an extraordinary woman…well with the effort of reading. Cork is one of my favourite cities to explore but if you only have time to visit one place then make it this!

Powerful museum, and GREAT gift shop

 

Wonderful and informative museum I had the pleasure of visiting during my few days in cork. I started my morning at Good Day Deli, the lovely cafe at the on-site gardens – a must visit. Met the wonderful museum host, Agnes, in the design shop, who was a delight to chat with. You can tell how proud she is to be a part of such an important piece of Irish history. I hope this review speaks to someone, as this visit was a highlight for me.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND TAKE THE GUIDED TOUR

 

We had friends visiting and wanted to show them something interesting and Nano Nagle’s Place didn’t disappoint. After deciding to pay for the guided tour it soon became obvious we’d made the right decision. Gerry our guide was a fountain of knowledge, answering all our questions with friendly manner and Irish charm. I can’t recommend this place enough for those who love History and for anyone looking to be inspired, this is the place for you. Thanks a million.

Beautiful site, with an interactive museum and a beautiful garden. Peaceful place, lovely staff. The story of this character is worth the detour. Inspiring.

Great find in Cork!

 

I had a great visit to this legacy of an amazing woman, Nano Nagle. I opted for a guided tour in the afternoon and it was wonderful. Bernard is a fantastic guide! The museum, shops, and garden are very nice too. Highly recommend taking the time to visit.
