Kilkea Castle

Castle itself was beautiful. On arrival a lovely gentleman brought our bags to our carriage room. Staff were extremely friendly. Special shout out to Gill & Natacha (Supervisor) sorry if I got her name wrong whom went above & beyond for us. We ate both nights in the clubhouse very close. Food & staff here were exceptional. Great value for money.

The warm atmosphere when we entered the castle and attention of the reception we got made a big impression which we loved. The staff were so friendly and obliging and really made us feel at home there. I had been away for several months and at dinner received welcome home from the staff which both my wife and I felt very touched by. The room was ideal and the quality of the beds gave us such a great nights sleep that it was the first thing we commented on when we woke up in the morning. The food there was of the highest quality and I cannot rate this hotel high enough on all aspects. It really was a magical getaway for us as a couple

Staying at Kilkea Castle was truly a delightful and unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. At the reception, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The young man who guided us to our room was courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable, setting the tone for a wonderful stay. As we explored the hotel, every staff member we encountered greeted us with incredible kindness and professionalism, making it clear that exceptional service is a priority at Kilkea Castle. And now, let’s talk about Hermione, the exquisite restaurant within the hotel: I had the pleasure of dining at Hermione, and I’m truly at a loss for words to capture how amazing the evening was! The ambiance, the food, and especially the staff made it a night to remember. To start, I ordered the brie cheese appetizer, and it was pure perfection – beautifully creamy with an exquisite depth of flavor. For the main course, I had a medium-rare steak, served with the most velvety mashed potatoes. Paired with a wonderful bottle of Pinot Noir, each bite and sip complemented the other perfectly, making the meal an absolute delight. A huge part of what made the evening so enjoyable was the exceptional service from our servers, Gonzalo and Glenn. They were not only attentive but also warm, personable, and welcoming, truly going above and beyond to ensure our night was memorable. Gonzalo and Glenn were incredibly friendly and engaging, bringing such genuine care to their service – we felt looked after in the best way. They managed every detail with finesse, making the experience feel so special. If you’re looking for a place with outstanding food and service that makes you feel right at home, Hermione is a must-visit. I highly recommend it, and can’t wait to go back! Kilkea Castle truly deserves its 5-star reputation – from the impeccable service to the culinary experience at Hermione, every detail exceeded our expectations.

Breakfast was fantastic. We didn't realize the breakfast was.in the Castle itself. So that was an added bonus. Staff at dinner and breakfast were fantastic and they couldn't have done enough for us. The man that ran the bar in the Castle was also incredibly friendly and even had the fire lighting for us to have some drinks by it. From the moment we arrived at the hotel Christian was fantastic and polite and was having the craic with us. He even took a picture of me and my wife he offered to take it. The blonde lady at reception on arrival was also very helpful.

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!
