Our stay at Kilkea Castle was very nice. The carriage room was spacious and nicely appointed. The grounds were lovely, the staff was friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The only area for improvement was with dinner....we ate at Hermione's and the food was so-so. Definitely room to improve with the dinner options.

It's definitely a unique experience staying in the Luxury Castle rooms. The staff were attentive, the food was overall really good, and the Thermal Spa experience was a nice addition to our stay. I would absolutely recommend to stay at Kilkea Castle for at least 2 nights.

Who doesn't want to stay at a 900-year-old castle when you visit Ireland? It was a magical visit and the capstone of our visit to the Emerald Island. The staff was beyond welcoming and excellent. The setting was perfect - the room was luxurious and the food was first class. We could not have asked for more and have recommended this to our friends!

Staff, grounds, food and drinks were all top tier. The castle is beautiful. Andrew , our bartender, was extremely helpful and attentive. Recommend staying. Room was great as well, but there wasn't any way to control the temperature and we sweat all night. I'd love to have played some golf, which also looked amazingly well maintained, however, we were only in for the evening.

We stayed in one of the carriage rooms at Kilkea Castle on the last night of our 9 day / 8 night vacation across Ireland. The castle and the grounds are both beautifully maintained and quite impressive to see as you drive up. We walked around the inside of the guest areas within the castle including the restaurants and they were very beautiful and welcoming. We had booked a one night stay in a carriage room as the castle was completely full the night we were there. Unfortunately we were not as impressed with the carriage rooms as we were with the rest of the castle. The first room they gave us was a wheelchair accessible room which was not what we had requested and it was quite small. When we went back and asked if another room was available the manager eventually approved moving us to another room. The second room was larger than the first and more comfortable. We were under the impression that the carriage rooms had recently been renovated based on the website; however the carpet was pretty worn out as was the mattress. Our reservation was to include breakfast however we had to leave for the airport before breakfast started at 8am. The person checking us in said they would put breakfast bags together for us instead; however these were not available at the time we checked out which was just before 8am. We also weren't able to eat on the property ground the evening before as the hotel didn't communicate that reservations were necessary at the time we booked it.
