This castle presented old world elegance and charm while teeming with 21st century amenities. A perfect blend of both worlds! The house and accommodations are absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. We wanted for nothing. We were a group of 9 and had plenty of room to spare. Each person had a fabulous time. The host Eileen was on top of everything. She was very responsive and helpful. We had a few questions to which she provided spot on advice. Our entire family fully recommends this property; a dazzling star!

We had a reunion of 7 couples that worked together in the UK at Killaghy Castle. It is a true castle and is steeped in history. The property is very comfortable with 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Three bathrooms are en suite and 2 are “communal.” The dine in kitchen is very large and equipped with a five burner stove, double oven, 2 refrigerator/freezers, 2 microwaves, and more plates/bowls/cutlery than you can ever huge. There is a wonderful sitting room with a great fireplace and a formal dining room that will seat 16 comfortably. The village of Mullinahone is small but wonderful and you are equidistant from both Kilkenney and Clonmel which are worth visiting. T j Macs bar is a 10 minute walk and the owner, T J, can take care of all of your needs plus it is a wonderful pub. The castle owners Pat and Mary are a delight. Their daughter Eileen is the property manager, she is super responsive and pretty much immediately took care of all of our requests. We had a lovely time. I highly recommend Killaghy castle as a destination for group gatherings.
