Today our members went on an outing to Newbridge House and farm in Donabate in north county Dublin, the first such outing since the Pandemic began. The house is situated in beautiful countryside, and the period interior is kept in pristine condition, it contains all the paraphernalia of it’s time and the artwork is top class. Our guide for the day was a young lady, Niamh Reilly who gave us a brilliant insight as to how such a big house functioned in its day outlining the hierarchy of staff. Most importantly she was most knowledgable of the history of family who owned the house and whose current members sometimes reside there. The farm is still operational with a variety of animals to be seen, a beautiful Victorian walled garden, a playground for Children and a really nice cafe on site. The weather was also beautiful and this venue is highly recommended.

Just a short drive from Dublin up the M1, Newbridge House and Farm is a great day out. We paid €16 for 2 adults and 2 kids. You get the tickets and a map to the left of the main house. The route around the farm is circular and well marked. There are cows, pigs, chicken and goats in the first section, also some cages with parrots and an owl. It opens up into paddocks with a duck pond and lots of other animals including some horned scary looking beasts. The farm tour finishes in a very large walked garden which would be perfect for a picnic. The tours of the main house are not running due to Covid, and the cafe is serving a reduced menu...expect a queue!! Plenty of walks to do and ample parking, great spot.

Brambles Cafe at Newbridge House was not an enjoyable experience. I would strongly suggest you avoid it. The tables, seats and especially babies high chairs were filthy and I had to clean them myself when I tried to sit at a table. I found a Chicken bone when I bit into my chicken Panini. (Photo) The "side salad" was literally five leafs of wilted lettuce drenched in a bottled dressing. The chips were nice. We were there today, Sunday, from about 12:00pm to 1:15pm - for the majority of that time, three of the wait-staff were on a break, so only 2 of the 5 staff working during lunchtime.... Pretty terrible organisation and management. As you can imagine there was a long line. We won't be going back.

A great day out for all. The playground has all the bells and whistles on would expect. New and improved toilets. Ice cream van outside the playground. There is a great cafe on the grounds and a lovely walk that takes you around the farm so there are plenty of animals to see along the way if you don't have the money to pay 32 Euro for a family pass into the farm itself. There is a new fully equipped outdoor gym for those with a Dad bod that would love a little quick workout to fight the flab along your walk. Great grounds great day out. Plenty if parking space too. Highly recommend it.

Quality walks, nice little farm! The kids love it, you can get nice and close to the animals for the odd pet too. The walks are great with lots of space to walk the legs off the kids. The playground is like no other in Dublin we’ve come across. Only 10 up the M1 from the M50 it’s easily accessible from most of Dublin within reach of the M50. There is tonnes of parking too with over flow on busy days. Thees is also picnics areas with tables and BBQ spots for those summer days. There is also a very nice cafe with hot foot and also a gift shop. Quality all round 👍🏻

I have no words for this experience. This farm is a wonderful place, full of life. I strongly recommend it to those who love nature. It is kept in practically perfect condition, despite being huge and the number of the animals. The cost of tickets is affordable, especially taking into account the size of the place, the running costs they have and the experience they offer. We came for the Easter egg hunt and the kids had a lot of fun, despite their different ages. We will definitely be back because we had an amazing day.
