    Nice place with a lot of animals. The animals have plenty of space to run around. My son loved it. There is also a playground just beside the farm with bathrooms. Each one of the bathrooms had a baby changing mat and they looked clean. The farm has a gift shop at the entrance and a nice little cafe. Great place to bring the little ones when the weather is great. Bring sun cream.

    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.

    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.

    What an amazing place to spend one's day!!! We enjoyed the piggies so much! All the animals are gorgeous and so much fun! We took one round then enjoyed the cafe before taking a bonus round to our most favourite animals. We were very happy! Thanks!

    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.

    A superb place to visit with kids. There's a wonderful playground with everything you could need including a number of slides, a zip-line, swings, balance beams, tunnels and much more. The grounds are huge and give plenty of opportunity to walk around. You can visit the reindeer, walk through a small forrest, play some football and more. When not shut by the pandemic there's a fantastic animal farm with an excellent cafe attached. This is easily my 4 year olds favourite place to visit.

    Beautiful place, stunning scenery and very well maintained. Only issue I had was that there was absolutely no staff members around or guides to consult. We didn't see any pigs, the rabbits and guinea pigs and some of the birds etc were impossible to see for my 2year old as the wooden enclosure was so high. We got lost and couldn't locate the playground, again, no staff to consult. There were more goats than anything else. It's a good day out all in all.

    Beautiful park, great option for a family day out! Great fun visiting the farm! Nice coffee at Brambles and great that they offer food too! As a photographer, I would say it is a wonderful location for family photos.

    What a stunning time of the year to visit Newbridge House, the colours are simply stunning, the walk is full of little surprises with the different animals. Would highly recommend for family or a solitude walk.lovely cafe just beside the house.

  • 4/5 Dan D. 6 months ago on Google
    Fab place to visit and bring kids, lots of animals to see and interact with around the farm , great spot also for a walk if the weather is good. I haven’t been in the house as it was closed last time I visited but friends have told me it’s worth the admission. Farm museum is very interesting too, best time to go is spring for all the baby animals, but I’d recommend all year round.

    Absolutely brilliant experience visiting Santa, best one to date! Hot chocolate in the courtyard, visiting the animals . The Staff are so friendly and Mrs Clause ,the elves and Santa were absolutely fantastic! Well worth a visit, the children's toy shop where they picked their own gift was magical. And to finish it off a family photo.. definitely will be going back!

    Lovely place, on the flat, to walk around with your dog( on the lead). Take a break at the cafe, run by very professional staff. Place very clean and well looked after. Recommend to all for a walk, run, a coffee or have fun in the playground. Also plenty of space to have a picnic and run around.

    Was here for Flavours of Fingal 2023! What a great event. I love Newbridge House & Demesne, come here a lot. Beautiful area well looked after. Wonderful place to bring kids, dogs or anybody. Good fun to be had here.

  • 3/5 Branimir K. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice event the Flavours of Fingal, and we should have more like this one. However, I have arrived here with my bicycle, with the notion that there is a safe bicycle parking there, but sadly, I had to turn around cause parking was full. For 80000 people event, as you claim, there should be waaaay more bike parking spaces than this. And safe bike parking means one that is valeted. I refuse to push my bike through the crowd. I would like to know if this event is for car dependent people only? Other vise, just a nice ride☹️

    Brilliant place to go to walk or run. Extensive refurbishment being carried out on Newbridge House on outside walls and roof. Very well looked after by park rangers who are constantly in attendance somewhere in the grounds, always doing something to make the whole area a great place to visit. Tour of the house is good if you have time. A large number of artefacts in the different rooms and good history to the place. A visit to see the animals and birds is a must. Really good day out. I go there to run several times a week and it is always a pleasure to be there.

    Newbridge House & Farm is an absolute gem among heritage sites, offering an enchanting experience that seamlessly blends history, nature, and family-friendly activities. Beautiful Gardens and Grounds: The meticulously maintained gardens surrounding Newbridge House are a horticultural delight. From the vibrant blooms to the neatly manicured lawns, every corner of the estate exudes tranquility and natural beauty.

    Staff are friendly and very helpful, farm had newly born lambs, chick's, alpacas calfs, was a lovely day. Great for family day out

  • 5/5 Carol R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing park, playground is big. They have a coffee shop to have some food and coffee, and besides it it’s the entrance to the farm. Plenty of parking as well

  • 4/5 Val K. 1 year ago on Google
    Place was interesting but needs quite a lot of work, the zoo at the back was small but children loved it, worth a visit but at €12 for an adult it's a little steep

  • 4/5 bernadette m. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Family and wheelchair friendly. Cafe shop could do with more choice of snacks and drinks. Very limited and high counters are not customer friendly. As staff can't interact with customers until at the till, so this slows down whole serving process. Amazing kids play ground. All they need now is a secure dog friendly area as dogs are not allowed off leash here.

    Great place to explore especially for the kids summer and winter time

  • 4/5 lynne h. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place all round. Great playground, beautiful walks and the farm is a great spot to wile away an hour or two with the tiny humans. Toilets are spotless. Coffee shop is fab if a bit pricey.
