Dromana House and Gardens

Review

Dromana House and Gardens, nestled in the heart of Co. Waterford, is a testament to the rich tapestry of Irish heritage and aristocracy. Home to Barbara and Nicholas Grubb, the estate is remarkable not only for its breathtaking beauty but also for its historical lineage, with the Villiers-Stuart and the FitzGerald family marking the 26th generation over an impressive span of more than 800 years. This distinction places Dromana among the few homes in Ireland to boast such a continuous family legacy. A jewel in Ireland’s architectural and historical landscape, Dromana offers an intimate glimpse into the life of one of the region’s most principle families. Its walls, echoing with stories from centuries past, invite visitors into a world where history intersects with the present. The house tours, led by Barbara, are acclaimed as among the best in Ireland, providing a unique insight into the estate’s legacy. Furthermore, Dromana extends its hospitality to guests wishing to experience the grandeur of estate living, offering stays in the East Wing and the River Duplex, allowing visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the noble elegance of yesteryears.
