A unique family-run perfumery set in the heart of the Burren, with aromatic gardens, a stone-built still room, and a charming tea room. Kids can explore the sensory garden, spot butterflies, and watch the distillation process. The gardens are a peaceful place for a family stroll, with plenty of native plants and wildflowers. Highlights: Fragrant garden trail, perfume-making demonstrations (seasonal), tea room with homemade treats, and a shop selling natural products. Ages: All ages welcome; babies in slings or pushchairs can navigate the main paths. Facilities: Baby-changing at the tea room, accessible toilets, parking on site. The tea room has high chairs. Practical tips: Wear sturdy shoes as paths can be uneven. Allow 1–2 hours. Combine with a visit to the Burren National Park.

Clothing

Wear sturdy shoes for uneven paths

The garden paths are uneven, so wear sturdy footwear. This applies to children too, especially if they're walking independently.

Buggy

Pushchairs work on main paths

Babies in pushchairs can navigate the main paths, though uneven terrain means bumpy sections are likely. Slings may be more practical for exploring fully.

Best timing

Plan for 1–2 hours

Allow 1–2 hours for your visit. This gives time to explore the gardens, enjoy the tea room, and watch any demonstrations without rushing.
