Wilton Castle is awesome. Highly recommend it for couples, groups or large families that want to stay somewhere unique. The mansion is upscale, private and out in the countryside with nice views. There are adjacent castle ruins to walk thru.

Over all, it was an excellent experience of staying at the Castle. It was surprised to have a kitchen with facilities and a separate living room with a fire place! Interesting to see the ruined castle beside where you would be staying too.

We absolutely loved the Wilton Castle. We stayed in the Butler's Suite and it was gorgeous and comfortable and spacious and had everything you could want or need! The property is beautiful. And the cows walking past every morning and evening was a cherry on the sundae! We only wished we planned to stay for a week! We did stay 2 nights and made day trips out each day. The Italian restaurant in Ennoscarthy was delicious BUT the guy loves Musselini which was very weird and frightening. Wilton Castle, though, is a must!!!

Very private. Nobody but guests stay in the castle so no staff there at night. It was a good stay. Great grounds to walk around no real garden beauty to look at. Read up on the history and enjoy. The thorn hill suite is huge and very very nice!

The scenery is spectacular . We got the Thornhill suite which is absolutely breathtaking. There is an option to walk outside along the river stream. The peacefulness in this whole area is like no other. The scenery straight out of a movie scene. Already planning my trip back to Wilton Castle. I do have to say that there is no restaurant in the castle so therefore, you either have to order food, which was fairly easy to do on just eat.ir which gives you many options to choose from from nearby towns. Or you can drive to the nearby towns which are 5-7 minutes away. This was definitely not a dealbreaker for me since the area is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff is very kind and stays out of your way. Also, we had a full kitchen in our suite so this was great.

Wilton Castle - Don’t pass this up!
What can you say. Except amazing. We stayed in a 3 bedroom suite that was incredible. It was definitely worth getting there at check in to have some time to explore. Internet worked great. Bree is just up the road and very charming with a perfectly stocked store. We flew into Dublin around 10am. Had plenty of time to explore Wicklow and it’s lighthouse then headed to the castle around arriving 4pm. You’ll appreciate this castle even more if you read their website’s history. This is a self stay (not a B&B; you need to cook for yourself in their fully stocked kitchen, eat out or get takeaway.) They do have delivery. If you plan on cooking, pickup your groceries first. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking ware and such. The host had left us milk coffee and basics to get started.

Unique and lovely location!
We booked this location for one night while traveling from Killarney to Dublin and needed a stop on the way so decided to splurge for a night in a castle. I apparently didn’t pay that much attention to the booking because I didn’t realize until we got there that it was actually a suite with a kitchen and licit room not just a bedroom and bath. It was more space than we needed but a welcome surprise and we enjoyed having a fire and I enjoyed the large bathtub! The suite was clean and beautifully decorated and was a great price for what you get (especially compared to prices in the US). It didn’t feel like a luxury castle, it felt like we were living in a casket apartment for the night, in a good way. The bed was comfy and the shower was great and we loved being able to explore the ruins of the side of the castle that wasn’t restored. We had not issue checking in or out and our only issue was the way we chose to get there ended up at a closed bridge but was easy to navigate around. We had dinner in Enniscorthy at Via Veneto and it was really good. Overall it was a lovely stay and would have liked to stay longer!

Our stay at Wilton Castle was exceptional! My husband and I love to travel and I would put this property in the top 5 that I have ever stayed. If you are looking for a fun experience and want a quiet few days away from the city, stay here!!! It is a private property with pastures all around. You can wake up in the morning and look out the window at the grazing cows while enjoying your cup of tea in the breakfast nook. The suite that we stayed in (Butler Suite) was very clean, spacious, and well thought out and had added touches like a working fireplace, and tea, coffee, and milk in the fridge. We were greeted promptly upon arrival, shown around, and were given recommendations for dinner if we wanted to go out. We went to an Italian restaurant in town that was delicious. The closest small town was less than a 10 minute car ride away. One of my favorite things about the property is that we could freely walk around and explore the ruins of the old castle. Be sure to read the history of the castle on the website. I can’t say it enough…this property is wonderful and we very much enjoyed our stay here. My only regret is that we didn’t stay a few more nights. Thank you!!

We sadly didn’t arrive until late at night and left at sunrise so we couldn’t fully enjoy the grounds during our stay, but everything was beautiful. Only complaint was the WiFi was weak and we’d lose signal in the bedrooms.

Idyllic setting, very spacious accommodations, friendly owner, wonderful bed, great kitchen, all made for a very relaxing stay. Unlike many other similar accommodations, Wilton Castle is privately owned and operated. It is a work in progress as only part of the original castle has been renovated to date. I would encourage these amazing owners any day!

Had an amazing stay at Wilton castle. Wish we would have booked to stay longer. The grounds are gorgeous. When checking in we were greeted and shown our suite and provided with recommendations for restaurants nearby. We stayed in the Thornhill Suite. It was spacious, beautifully decorated and absolutely amazing. We felt like royalty in the castle. I highly recommend a stay at Wilton castle.

Uncomfortable bed and dodgy shower! Otherwise okay
The place was reasonably clean (apart from crumbs on the sofas and a considerable quantity of flies/mozzies throughout the apartment) and our first impressions were generally favourable. We thought we'd found the perfect place to stopover on our regular business trips to the south of Ireland but then we started to find some basic but very important flaws which would certainly cause us to never stay there again. The bed, although clean, was very uncomfortable and gave us a very poor nights sleep, with backache to follow in the morning. The shower was unusable. The shower head looked like it was handmade from some galvanised metal container with tiny little pinpricks to let out the water. This meant the water sprayed everywhere in very fine jets which were unbearable. We had to use the bath instead. Cold tap on wash hand basin didn't work. Considering this is marketed as a premium facility (costing us almost £150 for one night), if the basic amenities of a good bed and a good shower cannot be provided, then it is best avoided. It's such a shame as it is such a lovely place in very tranquil, scenic surroundings and has so much going for it, but yet still hasn't got the basic comforts nailed.

A dream
Amazing fairytale place. Apartments are very large and very well equipped. The area is fantastic, a castle like you dream of when reading stories. Everything was perfect. Sean is very nice and it was very interesting learning about the journey of the castle and see its conditions before Sean turned part of it in a hotel. I can't recommend it enough, it's just fantastic.

This property is amazing. From the moment we turned off the main road and drove down the drive, catching a glimpse of this remarkable building we were enraptured. On parking the car we were greeted at the main door and shown our suite. WOW was it special. Wished my home was as well appointed as this. Cannot fault it. The building is very special and what the owners have done to resurrect it after the fire is exceptional. Very sympathetic interior. Just loved it - WELL DONE AND THANK YOU. We will return

We spent one night at Wilton Castle and we loved it. The only thing that needs improvement is the meals. They offer breakfast for a very reasonable price but it lacked variety and there’s no way to eat dinner there unless you bring the food with you. We took a taxi to town and ate at a wonderful restaurant.
