Beautiful hotel, staff couldnt have been nicer. Food delicious.

Pillows were a little hard. Would prefer more traditional style sausages with the breakfast. Would be nice to have option of seeded brown soda bread with breakfast.

5.0 / 10.0

Staff, grounds, food and drinks were all top tier. The castle is beautiful. Andrew , our bartender, was extremely helpful and attentive. Recommend staying. Room was great as well, but there wasn't any way to control the temperature and we sweat all night. I'd love to have played some golf, which also looked amazingly well maintained, however, we were only in for the evening.

4.0 / 10.0

We stayed in one of the carriage rooms at Kilkea Castle on the last night of our 9 day / 8 night vacation across Ireland. The castle and the grounds are both beautifully maintained and quite impressive to see as you drive up. We walked around the inside of the guest areas within the castle including the restaurants and they were very beautiful and welcoming. We had booked a one night stay in a carriage room as the castle was completely full the night we were there. Unfortunately we were not as impressed with the carriage rooms as we were with the rest of the castle. The first room they gave us was a wheelchair accessible room which was not what we had requested and it was quite small. When we went back and asked if another room was available the manager eventually approved moving us to another room. The second room was larger than the first and more comfortable. We were under the impression that the carriage rooms had recently been renovated based on the website; however the carpet was pretty worn out as was the mattress. Our reservation was to include breakfast however we had to leave for the airport before breakfast started at 8am. The person checking us in said they would put breakfast bags together for us instead; however these were not available at the time we checked out which was just before 8am. We also weren't able to eat on the property ground the evening before as the hotel didn't communicate that reservations were necessary at the time we booked it.

5.0 / 10.0

Beautiful property, very comfortable room and excellent service in the restaurant in the evening, even though we didn't have a reservation. Was disappointed breakfast wasn't available before 8 and we had to leave before that for a flight, though they did have coffee and pastries.

Truly loved staying here, definitely regret not staying more than one night! Loved the castle, the carriage rooms, and the grounds were spectacular. Golfing was fun and all the staff were very nice. Food was great too! Would recommend travellers to stay here for a few days and enjoy the beauty!

10.0 / 10.0

Our stay at the castle could not have been nicer from the moment we arrived and met Seamus, who welcomed us and helped us bring our bags in, we knew we were in for a great stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful and couldn't have been nicer. The castle itself is in remarkable condition and they seem to have paid great attention to all of the little details. I cannot say enough great things about the grounds and the wonderful work the gardeners and groundskeepers do at Kilkia Castle. While walking the grounds, the words immaculate and breathtaking were said more than once by members of our family,. Our room was as nice as the rest of the castle. We stayed in the Lady Emmaline (I hope I got that name right) room and we found it to be very comfortable and cozy and were surprised by how large the room was. We hope to return in the future. Next time I may bring my golf clubs and play on the immaculate course that surrounds the grounds. Overall I would say it is an unforgettable stay.

Just a lovely place to stay with great staff and friendly atmosphere. This is a “proper” castle - built 900 years ago. We ate at one of the restaurants and had a lovely meal. Gardens have several walks including a long walk through local woods which we enjoyed.

We stayed in the carriage house and a friend stayed in castle. Both were great. Breakfast was fantastic and we had a great meal at the golf restaurant. I love running, and there are some great country roads nearby to walk or run.

We had an unforgettable stay at Kilkea Castle! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the stunning grounds and historic charm of the property. We stayed in Carriage Room 230, which was beautiful and had great viewst thanks to windows on all sides. Dinner at Hermione's was a real highlight — not only was the food excellent, but the view of the illuminated castle in the evening was absolutely magical. After dinner, we headed to The Keep bar for drinks, where Andrew, the bartender, made the experience extra special. He was friendly, personable, and made us feel right at home. Later, we took a peaceful walk through the rose garden and along the river to the pond — a perfect end to the evening. Breakfast the next morning was inside the castle and just as delightful. What really stood out was the staff. My husband had accidentally left his wallet at the bar, and everyone — from the front desk to our servers — made sure we got it back. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel so well cared for. Highly recommend staying here for the beautiful setting, great food, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!

An event of a place. Done really nicely. Great food and service - Molly was a star. My only complaint is a stuffy bedroom as no opening windows or no aircon. Was 27C there. Still enjoyed the stay 👍

Our arrival and stay at Kilkea Castle was perfect and every detail was exactly as I had hoped. Clean rooms, exceptional service, and an amazing setting. Superb. Trying to depart was not so great. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, and I only say this as a warning to others. Book your transportation through the hotel as our prebooked car never arrived, and the ride shares would not pick up in the early morning.

I have never stayed at a castle before but after this I definitely plan to do it again! So cool and gorgeous driving up the lush green drive to Kilkea Castle, I felt like a princess immediately upon arrival. Check in staff were excellent, helpful and lovely. Slight issue with my first room that Keala resolved for me right away. Walking around the common grounds and gardens was so dreamy with the castle in the background and the plethora of seating areas downstairs/near the bar were inviting and relaxing. Not to mention how delicious and very princess-like the complimentary breakfast was in restaurant 1180 before my departure. Stay here, you won't regret it. The only thing I will say is if you want night life you will likely have to go to the closest town but if you're okay with a quieter evening in a freaking castle then there's nothing to worry about.

4.0 / 10.0

The grounds are lovely and kept very well. The staff were all very kind. The main downside was the position of our room, 227. It is right on one of the roads that cars frequently pass so it can be very loud in there. There are 3 sets of windows in the master bedroom and the blinds don't do a job of keeping light out, the one facing the golf course can even not block line of sight to the room fully. So as soon as the sun is up the room is flooded with light making it hard to sleep into the morning at this time of year.
