    We were a little bit disappointed with the pool as there were swimming lessons on when we arrived to the pool on Friday evening, half of the pool was cordoned off. We just weren't warned about this in advance. There was very little space to swim as a few people were occupying the lanes that were free for guests. We ended up only staying for 20 minutes as we just felt awkward as swimming spectators were also taking up the lounge chairs at one side of the pool.

    Lovely hotel, very clean. Ate dinner in palm court, had the casual dining menu and it was lovely

    The check in itself was long I think we were waiting 10/15mins before we had anyone talk to us. Now the staff were lovely it just seemed there wasn't enough during that time. Then the only other thing I didn't like was the woman's showers in the spa/leisure centre. They could really do with a deep clean and a bit of maintenance; handles broken off the dial on the shower, shower gel broken off the wall and just on the floor and hairs and fluff on the shower floor. In a hotel which offers such a prestige look and feel in other areas it just lets it down. I expected shampoo and conditioner to be also in the showers as is usually the case in hotels at that price.

    Myself and family went for one night but ideally you would want to spend at least two nights here. It is in a remote area so the lake and the hotel itself is really what is so lovely about Kilronan. The castle itself is gorgeous and exactly what you'd expect from the pictures online. The staff were very friendly and we asked for late checkout as we couldn't stay for two nights and they kindly let us which was great. The food was lovely myself and my son ate in the casual dining hall and there was a lot of choice which was great.

    The bathroom needs improvement. Especially the shower was broken and we couldn’t regulate the heating water, so we couldn’t use it. There were some broken towel racks and we couldn’t hang our towels.

    Very beautiful and big garden. There are 2 paths where you can walk around the lake and in the forest (all of these are in the area of the castle). Very delicious breakfast with many choices. The dinner was very tasty too. The swimming pool was very nice and the sauna as well. Comfortable bed and friendly staff.

    We loved everything. When we arrived, the receptionist took us round as it was our first time there. The lady in charge of breakfast was great. All the staff were exceptionally friendly. Décor amazing. Outside walks just beautiful too. Castle building exceptional. Dinner staff so attentive. Music in bar at night. Classical music playing throughout hotel was so pleasant and relaxing.

    We go to Kilronan Castle every year, for a short break. It never let's us down, the staff are superb, facilities are perfect and it's one the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in. Can't recommend it highly enough.

    The drive there - awful road - this is the only thing that would put me off going again. However I just wouldn't let that be the only reason. I would probably go for longer than 1 night.

    The customer service was beyond 5 stars - this is what I would come back for! I wish you could teach it! Hotel and food fabulous.

    Last minute Booking but very impresssive

    There is not much in the area, we were just passing through but other than walking there isnt much to do. You needed a swimming hat for the pool which is fine but as a guest you had to buy the hat and for a one off 20 minute pool visit it seems a bit much. Could provide guests with those for free IMO.

    Booked this last minute when doing a road trip, The grounds and building itself are beautiful, They have restored the old castle and blended in the new buildings very well. Staff were great, very friendly. Room was nice, plently room and has that old feel you would want in this building. Food was amazing - we arrived late so just did the more "casual" resturant but it was top notch food and service. Pool and spa facilities are also open to guests. Breakfast was really good. Overall for a last minute booking and find i was very happy
