The Kilkea Castle was a dream start to finish. The staff was wonderful, the grounds are amazing and would absolutely stay again and recommend to friends.

Gorgeous castle. We stayed in a beautiful, spacious carriage room. We had a lovely evening meal in Hermione's restaurant at the clubhouse followed by drinks in the Keep bar. Breakfast the next morning was so nice. Lots to do and see. We couldn't fault it.

Lovely stay with amazing food
Amazing hotel, beautiful castle and grounds. Carriage rooms are spacious and decorated beautifully. You can hear everything from next room though. All the staff were so helpful and nice. Food at the golf club and at hotel breakfast was absolutely divine. Super tasty! Breakfast also had freshly squeezed orange juice. Definitely will be back someday to try the afternoon tea.

6/10 Good

Overall it was a nice enough stay. The food and service wasn’t the best experience. Service was quite slow, they seemed to have had some issues with their systems. The hotel is lovely and the location is great but the food and service fell short especially given the expectations you have for a place like Kilkea castle. The fine dining restaurant also wasn’t open which I wasn’t aware of when booking. Only dinner option was the golf clubhouse which had a somewhat limited menu. Would not recommend room service as the food didn’t taste the best. The food fresh from the clubhouse is much better.

Castle stay. Worth it.
Come on, it was stay in a castle! Loved it. Though I arrived late, I loved grabbing a drink and hanging out by the fire in the reception area and walking the grounds at night. The bed was so comfortable and waking up to the amazing breakfast did the trick of refreshing me after a long drive the day before.

We had such a beautiful break in this hotel!! It is so unique with so much character & charm. Breakfast in 1180 room was beautiful and Dinner in The Drawing room felt very special. Staff are so friendly and helpful, Spa and Thermal suite was amazing, Room was massive and comfortable. Highly recommended, thank you.

Time for an upgrade
The castle and grounds were lovely. The castle rooms are getting dated. Breakfast in the castle was very sub-standard but the other restaurant on the property served a fantastic dinner.

Castle Stay Was a Dream Come True!
What an experience! Staying in this gorgeous, ancient castle was a dream come true. Everything about it was magical! From the cozy room in the castle, delicious meal in the Hermione Cafe and drinks afterward in the beautifully decorated lounge area, our experience was unforgettable!
