Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I've long-wanted to see behind the gates at the top of Main street in Leixlip and i wasn't disappointed on my tour with my partner and my dad.
We were part of a small and personalised tour of much of the castle by one of the lovely staff there.
The castle was very impressive and the tour was fascinating and good value.
I found out about the tours in a local newspaper, which was lucky as they are limited across the year.
My advice would be to call the castle if you are interested in booking a tour. They are very friendly and will tell you when they are next open to the public. The phone number can be googled.

So we found the castle, gates open, no signs or notices, walked up the long driveway, no signs or information. Several cars parked up in different places, looks like the place is lived in. No idea if we should have been there or not or if it is open to the public, so we left. Weird.

Open to the public in mornings,its more like a grand mansion than a 12th castle.It has a homely feel about it,it's not too large and like all grand places,it has a lot to see.
The guided tours don't take too long and they show you all over the building,even going into its turret.The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable,and afterwards you are left to freely walk the gardens and grounds,and no admission charges are made for any part!

Open to the public for visiting at selected periods of the year, it is well worth spending a few hours in the fabulous grounds and castle.
Built in the early 1170s soon after the Normans' arrival in Ireland, it has had numerous owners. It is now in the ownership and the residence of the Honourable Desmond Guinness who purchased it in 1958, the same year he founded the Irish Georgian Society, which has done so much tremendous work in safeguarding and preserving Ireland's built heritage.
It presents a wonderful facade against the azure sky, as was the case on the day of our visit. The tour is excellent. The guide gave an engaging account of the history of the castle, the numerous items of furniture, art works and the social life within down the years.
Outstanding amongst the art works are lovely drawings of the six Mitford sisters, who were famous for their lifestyles, while some of them also attracted considerable controversy for their political leanings and beliefs.
The tapestries on view are fabulous. The intricate needlework is wonderful. Doll's houses also feature and their extent and superb craftsmanship are delightful. The rooms contain grand fireplaces rich in ornamentation and large decorative stoves also feature.
Walking around the extensive grounds was lovely in the bright sunshine. We saw the fine walled vegetable garden and also the temple plus the Grecian themed sculpture in gleaming white.

Is Leixlip Castle wheelchair accessible? Is the castle suitable for the elderly who cannot walk long distances?
Skrevet 31. august 2018
No but the walking is fine just take your time

Could I do a tour of the castle this morning please with two boys? LF

Obviously I cannot speak for the owners. Leixlip Castle is a private home which the owner, the Hon. Desmond Guinness, was always glad to share with visitors.
Insofar as I am aware, the opening of the castle and the gardens has not really changed, but Mr. Guinness' is elderly and his health is not what it used to be.
The grounds should be fine for anyone who is reasonably fit, but the castle is not really wheelchair accessible.
It probably will be advisable to check with the owners for visits to the castle.
