WELCOME!
Visitors have always been welcomed to Corravahan House…
The House is now open to scheduled tours for Spring & Summer 2026
** Please Note that as a result of storm damage from Storm Eowyn in January 2025 extensive areas of the garden are subject to restricted access in the interests of safety. We hope to resolve this as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.**
The house remains open to tours at the published times, until further notice.
