Beautiful castle/hotel in the middle of farmlands. Grounds were impeccable, and accommodations were excellent. Great breakfast in the castle and dinner at the clubhouse.

Only a small complain, the bed is comfortable but the size is a tad on the small side for me and my missus. Perhaps with the full plush comforters and pillows we ran out of room. You may want to look for a Queen size bed if you want more room. We will do that next time we book.

Friendly staff. Christian welcomed us and helped us with our bags when moved in to our room. Well appointed room. We stayed in the Carriage Room, more modern amenities. Grounds were beautifully kept and we were blessed with great weather. Dinner experience in the Hermione Restaurant at the Clubhouse was great. The steak we ordered arrived as ordered. At the Castle Bar, had really enjoyable experience with Filip and Glen the two very entertaining and skillful bartenders that was there when we had our evening drinks. Breakfast the next morning was A-La-Carte with multiple choices. Portions were just right for us and my choice of Egg Benedict was done just right. Check out was fast and we all got the experience of staying at a Castle in Ireland!

The breakfast was in the main castle but lunches and evening meals were in a different building away from the castle. Inconvenient in bad weather.

Central location, breakfast was very good and the Spa was very enjoyable.

Everything was great.

We loved Christian who greeted us when we arrived! He was so lovely and even took some great photos of us in front of the castle. We also loved the restaurant and the bar. It was absolutely stunning. We also loved our evenings in the bar area by the fireplace and the horse riding experience.

The tap in the bathroom had an antique style with matched the decor but was difficult to turn on and off. One other little complaint is that we had booked horse riding through the castle but wasn’t told it was a 35 min drive away beforehand. They should have told us at check in. They said it when we asked for directions the day of, and then were 30 min late. Luckily they still took us.

We stayed in the carriage rooms and they were lovely, comfortable, updated. The spa was particularly nice with a relaxation room, lovely services and a sauna, warm pool, cold dousing shower and steam room. The dinner was lovely Hermione Restaurant, we went back both nights! Breakfast was very good in the castle 1108 restaurant. They accommodated my gluten and dairy free issues wonderfully.

A pity that the elegant, bright drawing room on the first floor wasn’t available during my stay.

Beautiful historic venue. Comfortable rooms. Lovely staff who knew my name and were most helpful. Dinner in 1180 restaurant was delicious but eating less formally in Hermiones restaurant was also nice. A friendly atmosphere in the lounge each night where guests chatted together.

Everything was so nice tbh .,but just a few of my thoughts - some light bites should be available in the bar area of the castle . When we arrived we were a little peckish and went for a cuppa in the bar ( as I saw other quests too ) as with ourselves nearly all asked for a scone or some light bites to eat but we were told food was only served in golf club house . Club house was very busy at that time and we would have had to wait 1/2 hr for a table . - maybe a little corner shop where some forgotten items could be bought eg toothpaste , some treats etc . ( or a vending machine) as you know there is nothing around in the vicinity outside the Castle to buy or get anything -Also.a little library collection where a book could be borrowed . Only saw some books on display the morning of our breakfast but waitress said they were the owners and only on display . - better lighting esp at the side of the castle where it can be viewed from at night when dining in the golf club . I was looking forward to seeing the castle all lit up at night but that was disappointing. Plus one of the wall spotlights was flickering ready to blow I'm sure . - albeit the hotel was really spotless well done to the cleaning team ,there were 2 large cobwebs hanging from the ceiling where we had breakfast in main dining area . Sorry they were in my line of vision as I was admiring the overall aesthetics of the building . ( a small oversight in a really very well maintained building )

First time staying in a castle , absoloutly beautiful . Love the original staircases and walls . Staff were very friendly albeit the receptionist on our arrival sent us outside to go to our room ( R 202) when in fact it was upstairs in the castle itself . We met the Congière on the grounds and he brought us up to our room . Such a pleasant professional gentleman. The grounds of the hotel are beautifully maintained and vast . Room.was lovely , bed so comfy . Bathroom was spacious and showher had great water pressure . Thank you

Thought it was abit Irish the need to charge extra for using the thermal suite. I thought that should have been included

Breakfast was fab. The room was lovely and spacious

Our bathroom was showing some wear for the price we paid. The key broke in the lock and we were locked out for a couple hours. Staff was super helpful. Many people worked on problem. They got the job done. I was surprised that they did not offer us a discount or even comp the room or our dinner. They offered a free drink in the bar, and bartender was very friendly, but I would have expected more. In the end nice stay.

This is a beautiful property. A perfect place for a wedding. Beautiful grounds.

Nothing. We wished we stayed longer :)

LOVED it. The staff and hotel were so welcoming and exceptional. The food for dinner was absolutely to die for. Noel the bartender is amazing!!!!!! We loved him so much and he made our stay that much better.

Had to pay for the spa, even thought only wanted to use the sauna, it felt like a bit much.

The food was great, and the room was very confortable.

I loved everything and I wouldn’t say this is a negative but we weren’t sure where to go in when we came. It may be helpful to better mark that

The property was stunning. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The rooms and bathroom were beautiful and clean. The robes and slippers were a nice touch. This place was so relaxing. The breakfast was fabulous. I would highly recommend staying here. It was a wonderful experience.

We paid alot of money for the evening, the hotel was completely booked out. Yet they had no evening entertainment in the hotel. Which was very disappointing for a Saturday night !!

Everything was wonderful room and spa food breakfast staff all fantastic

I really enjoyed my massage at the day spa and the atmosphere there is lovely but I probably wouldn't pay for the thermal suite on it's own (it's included in a spa treatment) as there isn't a massive amount there (hydrotherapy/jacuzzi, small sauna and stream room and two showers) and when there are a few people there it can get quite loud. There were guys in there playing videos and taking photos on mobile phones while we were in the sauna which was not relaxing. The room was also a little bit too warm for my partner so he struggled to sleep but he was able to open a window in the night to fix this problem.

The castle is absolutely stunning and it feels very welcoming and homely with a big open fire. You can sit around the ground floor of the castle, have drinks (there is a bar with cocktails) and play board games. The fine dining was amazing and atmospheric in the castle. they catered to my very specific dietary requirements as I am vegan and gluten free. The vegan and gluten free foods were both delicious. We also had e meal at Hermione's was really superb, I got a very tasty vegan/GF risotto there. We stayed in the carriage rooms. It was comfortable with a nice bed, a lovely range of herbal teas and coffees and an excellent shower. The room is on the small side but it has everything you need. I really enjoyed my massage at the day spa and the therapists working there were friendly.

It was a little pricey for what amounted to pretty basic facilities.

The staff were incredible. The food was lovely and the location is beautiful.

I would have loved to have seen the property in the spring with all the gardens in bloom. however this wasn't their fault was we decided to travel in February.

The setting for our castle stay at Kilkea couldn't have been better. Approaching the property, we were impressed with the landscaped entry road revealing the beautiful view of the castle itself. Staff was wonderful and we were made to feel very special.

Breakfast could have been a little better and the thermal suite definitely needs some background music.

Romantic castle and surrounding gardens and grounds. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere very relaxed. The food at the 1180 restaurant was excellent.
