What Our Visitors Say

“Incredible experience!!! Worth the train journey out from Dublin. Only wished I had more time to soak it all in. Highly recommend!!”

Debbie

Great place to visit. Paddy, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Loved getting right up inside one of the windmills. Lovely café with great food to end the visit.

Brian Casey

“The staff here were brilliant, and the tour was fantastic. The wind and water Mills are amazingly kept and maintained. We were only in Dublin for a day, but I'm so glad we did this!”

S Dowdall

“Very interesting place with friendly, informative guide. Beautiful views of Skerries. Well restored & maintained historic structures with demonstrations of equipment. Also attractive & spacious cafe as well as gift shop with good quality items at fair prices.”

Carol Kiely

The visit was great, it was worth the detour! Patrick was a great guide, very smiling, who put himself at our level and spoke more slowly so that we understood the explanations.

Meltem

Excellent local attraction.
Having done the tour more than once I highly recommend them and there is always something new to learn.
The cafe is great as well.

Simon

We did an impromptu visit having seen the Mills on our way to the Harbour. They offer guided tours lasting about 50 mins. Our tour guide Gavin was really knowledgable and full of local stories. The Mills have been very well restored, great craftsmanship. There are many different rooms in the water mill and walking to each Mill gives you great views of the town and seaside. So glad we decided to go. There is also a lovely terrace and indoor cafe and artisan shops too.
