What our visitors say about us.
My daughter and I had an absolutely wonderful time at Tracey’s soda bread making experience. It was incredible, start to finish. Tracey is so genuine, helpful and lovely, and she is a great teacher! Her home was so cozy and inviting, and it was just the perfect activity. We learned to make various breads, sampled homemade treats, and had herb tea fresh from the garden. We had so much fun chatting and getting to know Tracey and the other guests. I am an American, and was a bit hesitant to rent a car and drive on the left, but it was really actually a breeze, and a lovely, easy drive from Dublin. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone—it was unforgettable, and I am so very glad we came! Thank you so much, Tracey!
Our group did this baking experience at Tracey's yesterday, after I did it last year with another group! And you know what? I'd do it again next year!! It was fun AND delicious! Had our bread the next morning in a delicious home made Ulster Fry 😋❤️ cannot recommend the experience highly enough!!
This was an incredible time! The location is beautiful and the house has a cozy, rustic charm that made our group feel right at home. Tracey and her team provided an amazing meal and teaching experience. If you are looking for a tour stop that you will actually remember, this is it. I want to send a huge thank you to Tracey and her husband for having us in their lovely home!
