Kilronan Castle Hotel & Spa

Stayed 2 nights here. Very relaxing. Nice big room and bathroom. We had dinner in the Douglas Hyde Restaurant, it was a culinary delight. Our package included the use of the spa and spa treatments. Everything was excellent. Great professional therapists. We had drinks in the little bar room it was so cosy. There was a wedding on when we arrived, the venue for the wedding is so discreet and never encroaches on the other guests. We will be back .

This castle is even more impressive than the photos. The grounds had hiking trails around the lake. We wanted to feel like we were staying in a real castle and this place delivered. The lobby and rooms had beautiful, ornate furnishings. The food was incredible and the staff was amazing.

Wonderful indulgence! Beautiful grounds and accommodation. Stayed in a room in the original castle — in the main tower. High tea in the drawing room was scrumptious. Thermal pools in the spa were worth the price of the spa treatments - get there early and enjoy them by yourself in blissful serenity. Breakfast looking over the lake was a relaxing joy. And Mary at breakfast was truly the epitome of world-class service and hospitality. One warning: the drinks in the Dungeon Bar (great name!) are awfully sweet. Ask them to hold the sugar. Seriously.

Just after a one night stay in Kilronan castle. I don't review very often but Kilronan castle and it's staff deserve the best review I can possibly give. ..... The warmest welcome at reception.... The cosy impeccably clean bedroom and bathroom.....styled in a fashion to complement the old worldly feel of the Castle itself. The beautiful walk around the grounds taking you through the forest and by the lakeside seats and picnic benches along the routes map provided when we checked in. .... despite the weather we completed the longest route and it was worth it. Then the absolute highlight.....wow....the food .....we had the 8 taster menu as part of our package.....every mouthful was just bursting with flavour and presentation was like art on a plate so colourful been from a cheffing background I totally appreciated the amount of work that went into every detail on our plates. Absolutely beautiful meal and served in the deserving manner it should be by the waiting staff who knew the plates inside out and very willingly shared this information with us. Attentive but not intrusive waiting staff . I can't speak highly enough of our visit to kilronan castle the only negative was perhaps the lack of atmosphere or entertainment in the basement bar i know this may have been because it was a Tuesday night but it would have been nice to have some easy listening music such as someone playing piano and low lights rather than bright lightnng and TV blaring to finish off the night after such a fantastic experience in Douglas Hyde restaurant but thats just my personal opinion. Definitely will be back.

Splendid place with character. Well appointed rooms in the middle of seemingly nowhere. BUT.. the place seems underserviced and staff stressed and, at least on one occasion, a bit snarly. Notable exception was the Polish bartender in the Library bar. Friendly and accomadating.

Stayed here for two nights in September for our anniversary and a birthday celebration. The castle is beautiful, room was lovely. The dungeon bar was nice also. The Spa is lovely and I had one treatment here which I really enjoyed. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately there was a wedding on here and they were having a BBQ in the Dungeon bar. It had been a long drive over so after dinner we went to bed so we could get up early the next morning. The music in the bar was so loud we could not get to sleep. It was a constant THUD, THUD, THUD. I got so frustrated I rang reception to ask when it would be over and was told it would be going on for another half hour. Nothing was said to us the next day which surprised me given that I actually phoned reception complaining about it. I asked at reception if we would have to put up with that noise again the 2nd night was told in a very casual way that we would be fine as there was no function that night. I found the girl on reception quite standoffish and honestly didn't really seem to give a damn. When we checked out we were overcharged also. We left very dissatisfied and disappointed as we had had high hopes for our celebrations and it didn't transpire. If I can give any advice if you are going to stay here I would say do not book it if there is a function on in the bar, or else ask for a room well away from it, and check you bill is correct when leaving.
