We were on vacation trip around Ireland and have already stayed in a castle before Kilkea Castle with not very positive experience. My first thought was to cancel Kilkea castle, but my husband convinced me to compare. it was absolutely wonderful stay! starting from very friendly and helpful staff, clean room, good shower, so comfortable bed and pillows that we didn’t want to get up next morning :) We have changed 5 hotels traveling all over north of Ireland - Kilkea Castle was the best! I mean it!!! we had to leave to the airport next morning before breakfast time and the staff packed us two separate bags with breakfast that we would miss because of the flight. I’m so glad I have not cancelled it because of previous bad experience with another castle!! we have already advised Kilkea Castle to our friends and hope to stay there again during our next trip to Ireland P.S. fine dining was absolutely perfect, each dish was not simply delicious, every bite brought a whole palette of various tints of tastes. It was worth every penny!

Kilkea Castle was the very first place we stayed in Ireland and it set the tone for an awesome trip! The Castle was so beautiful and majestic that it literally held us spellbound as we drove up to it. It was like being transported to another time. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the grounds ( gardens, cemetery) and the Castle itself. It was like being in a fairy tale. We stayed in one of the carriage rooms adjoining the castle as it had 2 separate areas for to use. Spacious, comfortable and clean. We were greeted by a delightful young woman who lived in the area and she was wonderful in telling us a bit about the castle & helpful locating a pharmacy for us. We had dinner in the Golf House (?). It was acceptable but a bit disappointing for the price. My entree was cold yet vegetables hot. It was like it may have been microwaved? However, the views were beautiful! The waitresses and help seemed a bit busy. The breakfast was wonderful and breakfast staff great !

Stunning authentic Norman castle with a real medieval feel. Super comfortable rooms and an outstanding breakfast in the castle keep. We stayed mid winter and spent a pleasant night in front of the huge open fireplace and log fire with a drink from the bar. Lots of quiet alcoves to hide away in and enjoy the calm atmosphere. Breakfast was outstanding, served in the castle keep. We had dinner in the clubhouse nearby but would opt for the fine dining in the castle if staying there again, having seen the dining room at breakfast the following day. Staff are super friendly and the grounds are stunning.

The property was incredibly beautiful and it felt incredible driving up onto the grounds and entering the castle. The staffing at the front desk was super helpful and got us breakfast early since we had a flight to catch the next morning. Really nice bathrooms and rooms inside of where we were staying and it felt very secluded which was great as well. My wife and I would like to fly back and visit again in April.
