Unique, great atmosphere, staff great, good breakfasts, dinner super (5 course is very filling and well worth it, great value, don't fill up on bread!) IF you don't like dogs, now that there are 4 at least resident dogs. 2 are beautiful very large Irish wolfhounds. Extremely passive and sleep wherever they can but if you're scared of them, just be aware. All dogs keep our of your way, well behaved. We loved them! Joe and Doreen will ensure you're well looked after at breakfasts :) Thanks guys, you made us smile, a lot!

The best hotel we've ever stayed at, we were looking forward to visiting another hotel on our itinerary, but this one absolutely blew us away, other hotels we stayed at, were really nice, but Ballyseede Castle was better than all of them.

We visited all of Ireland for two weeks and stayed here for three nights. Out of our entire trip, it was our favorite place to stay. It’s in a great location for what we wanted to see and the staff was amazing.

This castle hotel was absolutely beautiful. It was warm and inviting. All the staff was amazing and went out of their way to help. The friendly castle dogs were such a wonderful surprise addition to our stay. All the food, from breakfast, tea to dinner was excellent.

If we could give this 6 stars we would. Expensive but beautifully scenic. Rooms are phenomenal. Staff go above and beyond. Shout out to Doreen and Emily! Castle has a resident, friendly Irish Wolfhound. Didn't see any ghosts but I am sure one or two were lurking about. Highly recommended.

We stayed in one of the top floor rooms at this Castle and only wished we could have stayed longer. The property is amazing with plenty of convenient parking and space. We want to come back for a longer stay next time. We even experienced a paranormal experience in our room which made it all even more interesting and enjoyable! We hope to be back soon.

There are no words to describe how much my family LOVED this place! Rooms are gorgeous, restaurants delicious and the property just beautiful inside and out. The castle dogs are the icing on the cake. This was the highlight of our 9-day trip across Ireland.

We absolutely loved our stay at Ballyseede Castle - it was only one night, but so memorable. The place is stunning and the staff were so friendly and helpful! Our two bartenders in the evening were delightful and our server at breakfast, Doreen and Joe, were wonderful. Thank you for a magical stay - we loved Ms Molly, Charlie, and Hope, the dogs, as well! Highly recommend!
