Our stay at Kilkea Castle was everything we dreamed of for our bucket-list "sleep in a European castle"! The staff was incredible and helped us with anything we asked for - including on site booking like meals & spa but also help with off-site food recs and bookings. We stayed in the Fitzgerald Suite for Halloween night which was on the priceir side but well worth it for the stunning views, claw tub in the castle tower, and the overall castle vibe of the room. The grounds were incredible! We enjoyed exploring the gardens during the day and at night under the moonlight. All of our meals were great too (2 breakfasts and 1 dinner at the clubhouse). Everything about this location is dreamy!!

設施老舊，位置偏遠而且除了Castle主樓外，旁邊沒有任何設施或景色可言，castle周圍的花草亦沒有用心打理。
酒店主要接待本地愛爾蘭人（婚宴客人或度假），感覺對其他種族有差別對待。
前台員工不熱情，打電話到前台要求In-room dining menu，等了半小時都冇人送到，再次致電前台時才知原來忘記了⋯⋯⋯⋯
早餐是包括在房費內，叫了Egg Benedict但食物內有蛋殼，都懶得投訴了。
總括不建議入住。

Awesome experience
Castle rooms are nice (no A/C as is not unusual for Ireland). Staff is excellent and service is top notch.

Truly loved staying here, definitely regret not staying more than one night! Loved the castle, the carriage rooms, and the grounds were spectacular. Golfing was fun and all the staff were very nice. Food was great too! Would recommend travellers to stay here for a few days and enjoy the beauty!

Our stay at the castle could not have been nicer from the moment we arrived and met Seamus, who welcomed us and helped us bring our bags in, we knew we were in for a great stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful and couldn't have been nicer. The castle itself is in remarkable condition and they seem to have paid great attention to all of the little details. I cannot say enough great things about the grounds and the wonderful work the gardeners and groundskeepers do at Kilkia Castle. While walking the grounds, the words immaculate and breathtaking were said more than once by members of our family,. Our room was as nice as the rest of the castle. We stayed in the Lady Emmaline (I hope I got that name right) room and we found it to be very comfortable and cozy and were surprised by how large the room was. We hope to return in the future. Next time I may bring my golf clubs and play on the immaculate course that surrounds the grounds. Overall I would say it is an unforgettable stay.

Just a lovely place to stay with great staff and friendly atmosphere. This is a “proper” castle - built 900 years ago. We ate at one of the restaurants and had a lovely meal. Gardens have several walks including a long walk through local woods which we enjoyed.

We stayed in the carriage house and a friend stayed in castle. Both were great. Breakfast was fantastic and we had a great meal at the golf restaurant. I love running, and there are some great country roads nearby to walk or run.

We had an unforgettable stay at Kilkea Castle! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the stunning grounds and historic charm of the property. We stayed in Carriage Room 230, which was beautiful and had great viewst thanks to windows on all sides.
Dinner at Hermione's was a real highlight — not only was the food excellent, but the view of the illuminated castle in the evening was absolutely magical. After dinner, we headed to The Keep bar for drinks, where Andrew, the bartender, made the experience extra special. He was friendly, personable, and made us feel right at home.
Later, we took a peaceful walk through the rose garden and along the river to the pond — a perfect end to the evening. Breakfast the next morning was inside the castle and just as delightful.
What really stood out was the staff. My husband had accidentally left his wallet at the bar, and everyone — from the front desk to our servers — made sure we got it back. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel so well cared for.
Highly recommend staying here for the beautiful setting, great food, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!
