"I wished we had had more than one night at the Kilkea Castle before going back to the USA. It’s a beautiful place, the employees were very helpful. The grounds were stunning."

"This was a great place! The car park was around the back of the building with plenty of spaces. The room was clean and well maintained and the bed was comfortable. We ate in the bar restaurant and the food was delicious. Our waiter, John, gave us excellent advice on things to see and do in the area and Trish, one of the managers, went above and beyond with hospitality. I’d definitely stay here again."

"Really had a very comfortable stay. Room was comfy and a good size. The staff were incredibly helpful and the hotel passed my 'plumbing test'. The shower was fantastic."

Loved the bedrooms and spa - so new, clean, contemporary and comfortable. The spa is especially good and the therapists were top notch!
Bedroom was fab and super comfy too!
in terms of dining, the staff were super friendly, the food in the golf clubhouse was nice (would recommend some more armchairs / couches vs tables/chairs) but would be nice to have an option to eat in the bar in the castle - also I’d recommend some sort of live music (acoustic or someone on a piano) on weekend nights to...
