We visited here at the invitation of my Wife's Cousin, Sister Lucy. Sr Lucy is a celebrity here, with her photo prominently displayed in the Mueum. My Wife and her family also featured in a photo taken when she was still in a pram! The Museum features a history of the Presentation Sisters in Cork from the time Nano Nagle founded the Order in the 1700s. These were penal times in Ireland with Catholics prevented from practising their faith. Nano left her wealthy family to found the Order and help the poor, at risk to herself.. The restaurant is very busy and high quality food is served by friendly staff. The souvenir shop is also staffed by very friendly people. This place is well worth a visit.

Our first visit to Cork. This was the highlight of our stay. The museum is lovely. The restaurant was bonus (with excellent food & wine). Agnes, the "Ambassador" for the museum, would be my new best friend if I ever moved to your beautiful city! Her passion for Nano, the incredible "inside tour" and token gift she gave me, made a memory I will never forget. I knew nothing about the amazing Nano Nagle before visiting, but I know hold her dear to my heart and even have a print of her in my office. Thank you for putting together such a beautiful place (architecturally, it is a great site to visit in of itself). The other staff were also very helpful and friendly. 5 star visit!

We had never heard of this strong independent woman. I am not religious bit could not help but admire the work she did which has been carried on in her name. The staff were all passionate about this place and keen to share their knowledge and answer any questions. The museum itself is designed well and is accessible to all ages in how the information is delivered. Nano Nagle's grave and surrounding area is in a beautiful setting. I am so pleased we visited this place and special thanks to Agnes whose photos on display from when she was a young girl helped to bring it to life.

Outstanding buildings and peaceful naturalistic gardens offering visitors a haven from the hustle and bustle of the city of Cork, a Museum, Education centre, Gift shop, Chapel and Cafè, the latter being hidden away in the afore mentioned Gardens (it's prudent to book a table, as it's popular, the food is good but overpriced) There is a perfectly small Cemetery with the remains of the Nun's and Beautiful Glass Sculptures comprising gently running water surrounding the remains of Nano Nagle herself. A nice way to spend a few hours, luckily we had good weather.

I am a Romanian and I visited the place last week at the recommendation of other Romanian who was very well impressed. It is indeed a place were you will discover the personality of Nano, but also a lot about Irish history, the social and economic struggle in the previous centuries. This is good for those focused more on continental countries of Europe. Not least, the people working there were so kind, amable and doing the jobs with passion. I'll remember as a nice experience in Ireland. Unfortunately for me, it is not easy to visit too often.

Pleasant surprise stumbling across this peaceful spot in the middle of Cork city. We were greeted by a very friendly and informative worker. Didn’t take the paid tour, but enjoyed just walking around the grounds. Will have to return to try the little restaurant someday. Few people just relaxing and talking, and a couple others that looked like they were also there for the first time. I’m not sure I’d say it’s a must do if visiting Cork, but if you are here for an extended period of time, definitely check it out.
