I mean, a Castle!! It was so unique and beautiful. We felt right at home from the moment we entered the property. We wandered around the castle, took a Fairy Trail with wooden sculptures, and fairies in the trees. A walk along the river was incredible with all the fall colors, red deer and horses in the field!
We LOVED this beautiful castle. From the incredibly kind staff to the beautiful grounds to the amazing accommodations and delicious food, everything was PERFECT! My only wish was to be able to stay longer. If you have an option, do it, you’ll not be disappointed.
This was the most beautiful stay of our trip. The land around the property is just stunning. The staff is amazing and extremely accomodating. The rooms make you feel like you are in an authentic castle
The grounds and rooms were wonderful. The staff was also very kind. When we got there they did not at first see our booking which was stressful, but it eventually got sorted. Our first room’s toilet also wasn’t functioning, so then we got moved to a new, upgraded room. They were very nice about it and handled it well, but we were in a time crunch trying to squeeze in as much sleep as possible and the issues set us back by at least an hour which wasn’t ideal.
Felt like a real castle experience! Beautiful grounds and a stately building with large comfortable rooms. The staff made us feel like special visitors.
Wow! This place is beautiful and the staff are very welcoming. The rooms were huge and luxurious. The ground were beautiful with quiet walking trails. The breakfast was delicious. The bathtub was large and perfect. So glad we stayed there.
charming castle, it not feel like a hotel. food and drink was great. I wish we had more time and that there was the ability to have a mountain bike delivered there as there were some great trails just from the parking lot of the castle

One Night at Kinnitty Castle
We booked this hotel last minute when we saw a YouTube video about the Castle. I am so glad we added this stop to our trip. Once we were checked into our beautiful room, we explored the castle and found the Library Bar. It was a cold evening, so we enjoyed drinks and dinner by the fire. We loved everything about our stay. The staff was helpful, and the other guests were so friendly. We can't wait to come back!
Staying at a castle has been a lifelong dream and now it has been fulfilled! Kinnitty Castle does not disappoint in any way. It is incredibly beautiful! Everyone was so friendly and even helped print out our tickets for the next day's adventure. Thank you!!
The staff and grounds were amazing. Thank you to the chef for preparing our afternoon tea without onions. I know how hard it is, to remake items. And, our favorite little fur host Bootsie, he was with us on almost every walk. Thank you again, we appreciate you all.
It's a castle, what more could you ask for? Tea in the courtyard? Check! Castle-styled rooms? Check! Gorgeous gardens and grounds to walk through? Check! 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely loved our room, the decorating was incredible. Ability to move around outside the grounds was easy. The breakfast was charming. Last but not least the employees were always there to help if you needed them.

Dear Thomas
Thank you for your feedback, I am delighted to read you had a lovely stay and I hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back to Kinnitty Castle in the near future.
Really nice hotel, very old but charming, full of character, good food, rooms were clean & comfortable, will definitely return
Didn’t realise there was so much to do in the grounds, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, etc. no mention of any of this on the app when booking !
Wish we stayed a second night great to stay in a home that old and well maintained.

Room was awful but stay was still awesome
I have to say the rooms were just awful. Why? Bedding was stained, plumbing didn’t work and it feels like the windows are about to fall out. However, we would still return. Staff, grounds food and drinks make it worth it. Kelly’s is a nearby pub in Birr. You must try it. Great drinks and atmosphere.
Pleasent experience all round definatly go back again
Staff friendly and pleasent , lovley and warm
upstairs area very relaxed atmosphere.
The dungeon Bar however felt cold while eating meal there , Bar staff lovley and very pleasent , the induction of new staff very important to maintain standards.
The grounds and walks and secenary are beautiful lovley fairy trail fir children
and activities available are just brillant no need to leave the grounds lots to do and the Anti Social cafe available to people from Hatch just brillant ,keep up the good work 👏
The property was phenomenal. I love that there aren’t any other buildings around the castle. It’s picturesque when you see it beyond a big pasture from the main road.
Great service, friendly staff and excellent food. The building is quite nice but in need of sound proofing - as conversations the floor above could be heard clearly
Overall, a good place to visit.
We had never stayed in a castle before and had a great experience. The 4 poster bed was huge and provided a good nights sleep. Thank you to all the staff who made us feel welcome and no effort was too great. Thumbs up to Andrew for remembering all the names.
