Time for an upgrade
The castle and grounds were lovely. The castle rooms are getting dated. Breakfast in the castle was very sub-standard but the other restaurant on the property served a fantastic dinner.

Castle stay. Worth it.
Come on, it was stay in a castle! Loved it. Though I arrived late, I loved grabbing a drink and hanging out by the fire in the reception area and walking the grounds at night. The bed was so comfortable and waking up to the amazing breakfast did the trick of refreshing me after a long drive the day before.

Castle Stay Was a Dream Come True!
What an experience! Staying in this gorgeous, ancient castle was a dream come true. Everything about it was magical! From the cozy room in the castle, delicious meal in the Hermione Cafe and drinks afterward in the beautifully decorated lounge area, our experience was unforgettable!

I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was truly unforgettable! I got engaged in their beautiful rose garden, which was an absolutely magical setting. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special—so warm, welcoming, and attentive. We enjoyed a delightful lunch at the golf club, where the menu options were diverse and delicious. The dinner offerings were equally phenomenal, with every dish prepared to perfection. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a perfect getaway, whether for a special occasion or simply to relax. We can’t wait to return!

This was a dream come true! I decided to wake up in a castle for my birthday and based the rest of the days itinerary on the availability which I booked just 3 months in advance. The entire staff was so friendly & helpful,especially Christian who greeted us at the door and continued to offer services of direction, help with photos and also a warm smile. We had a delicious dinner at Hermione’s(warmly greeted by Ava who also served us!)and a delicious breakfast in Restaurant 1180. It’s great to have checkout at noon so one can walk the grounds if only staying one night. There was a wedding getting ready as we drove away and I can imagine weddings there are exquisite. Although we don’t play golf, this, too, was the place to be for that. The history of the castle drew me in as well as there is ample explanation of the who,what, where and how it all began. I hope to return someday!

My daughter and I visited Castle Kilkea recently and had an absolutely magical visit. We did not have enough time to enjoy all the activities offered as our main goal have a couple of days of girl time with our favorite books in an Irish castle setting. From check in to check out we received VIP treatment from everyone. I cannot express enough how nice everyone was. We sat by the fireplace in the common room and read our books, drinks and snacks in the “The Keep” (the pub), and the Spa. The thermal spa is worth every penny! Do not skip this. Breakfast was included and very good. The buffet had good options and they also offered some prepared dishes. Both restaurants were wonderful as well. Oh! The gardens and grounds are picturesque. Walking around the estate gave a grandeur feeling that ties it all in together. Really, the whole experience was just magical. I would love to return one day.
