My young twin sons and I stayed on the farm and had a memorable experience many years ago which the boys still talk about. We were given such a fantastic welcome and received a brilliant tour from Bronagh and Cathal. Since then we continue to buy the premium Burren Beef 20kg box over the years. The taste and quality of the beef is fantastic.
Caveat Emptor! Don't buy their Gift Cards at Christmas as they don't honour them! My brother bought me a €100 gift card last Christmas( 2024), went to use it at the beginning of October 2025 but the website says its invalid. I reached out by email asking for help, no reply, nothing. The gift card has absolutely no mention of expiry date or i would have used it earlier. I would have expected a €100 voucher to remain valid more than 10 months, then again who knows how much earlier they decided to invalidate the card, that is if they ever intended to honour it in the first place?? 100% don't recommend.
