Why have I never heard of this place before? It’s brilliant! We stumbled across it while looking for something to do whilst staying in Co. Donegal. We highly recommend it for everyone!
The restaurant/cafe is fabulous. Great food, lovely coffee and charming staff. Tables were outside, but covered, and spotlessly clean. There’s a great kids’ play park that you can see from the tables at the cafe and music playing in the background. Total holiday mood! Kids’ portions were huge.
The train was great. It brings you all around the park. I’d recommend going on it to get your bearings before having a walk around the grounds. Lots to see: sculptures, a maze (which was great), a folly and a fairy tree on which to hang your wish (we were given a label and a pencil at the entrance to write our wish- nice touch). Toilets were sparkling clean. We finished off with some ice cream from the little truck. These were possibly the biggest servings of ice cream we’ve ever had and went to waste as we couldn’t finish them. We could have shared one between 3 of us. They should consider doing a small cone for kids! Honestly a great visit.

I have a seasonal pass for Oakfield Park. It is an amazing park to visit. It is very safe, clean and friendly place for families or anyone to visit. Very peaceful and enjoyable day out. The seasonal ticket is great value for money if you like to walk or get the kids out walking and playing outdoors. The upper garden is open at the weekend via guided tour at 2pm or 4 pm and it is a lovely experience to see the house and gardens. They also have picnic tables to eat outside or you can visit the restaurant and eat indoors or outdoors. The park is also pet friendly.

If your looking for a magical winter wonderland full of festive cheer and spirits, I would highly recommend Oakfield Parks Santa Express! Despite my son having a tough year with the pandemic restrictions etc (like many other families) We all felt a great escape down at Oakfield Park. My son especially loved the puppet show, but there was so much more.. the light display to the train ride the activities the gardens! Let’s not forget meeting the lovely Santa himself and his team of bubbly elves who couldn’t be more fourth coming and inviting, cracking jokes and bringing the place to life! We ended our evening with some delightful waffles and ice cream, mulled wine and my partner had some lovely coffee. 5 star experience. We’ll definitely be marking this one in the calendar, our very own new Christmas tradition!

We visited yesterday 4 generations 5 to 69 years old. The Harry Potter themed visit was amazing for the 13,10 and 5years olds and I must say the adults enjoyed it just as much. Early rain cleared and aftermoon autumnal sunshine allowed us to walk all of the beautiful grounds and take the train ride. We all had fun with the games and the questions and answers. Overall a great experience for everyone and the coffee was great. Highly recommend we will be back.

Fantastic jewel of a location. Beautiful gardens and superbly maintained. It is beautifully presented with wonderful facilities and staff. The railway is a gem and so much fun. The restaurant has good value food and great coffee. So much to see in the grounds. Do not miss a visit to Oakfield.
