We have included all of our personal recommendation on how to make the most from your time in Tadpole Lodge.
Some of our top recommendations include
Curraghmore House and Gardens – the Historic Home of the 9th Marquis of Waterford. You may in fact meet Lord Waterford himself. This is definitely quirky, and is very unique and is well worth getting off the beaten track for. Call to arrange a tour of the House, Shell House and Gardens. All Together Now Festival is held here.
Mount Congreve Estate – A 18th century Georgian mansion designed by John Roberts 70 acres of woodland with 14 km’s of paths. These World Famous Gardens are just over five minutes from here, there’s also a Café and Nursery, and if cycling the Greenway you can call in.
The local beer is Dungarvan, Gin is Blackwater and Waterford now have our own whiskey distillery, which was the old Waterford brewery for 200 years with bottling only commencing a few years ago.
