The Argory was built in the 1820’s on a hill and has wonderful views over the gardens and 320 acre wooded riverside estate. This former home of the MacGeough – Bond family has a splendid stable yard with horse carriages, harness room, acetylene gas plant and laundry. The cluttered interiors of the house evoke the Bond family's Edwardian taste and interests, and include a barrel organ that is played occasionally for musical house tours.
Built in the 1820s, this handsome Irish gentry house is surrounded by its 130-hectare (320-acre) wooded riverside estate. Take a stroll around the delightful gardens or for the more energetic along the woodland and riverside way-marked trails. The beautiful estate offers a wonderful Rose Garden with sundial, as well as woodland and riverside walks for all ages. Outside you’ll find sweeping vistas, superb spring bulbs, scenic walks and fascinating courtyard displays. There are also amazing displays of snowdrops and spring flowers.
A second-hand bookshop, adventure playground and Lady Ada's award-winning tea-room provide retreats for children and adults alike.
