"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!"

"Conor was amazing at check in - couldn’t do enough. Sabina, was delightful, friendly and again, couldn’t do enough. Service in Dungeon Bar, a bit hit or miss. No plate under Chowder, didn’t know what a finger bowl was for chicken wings - had to explain. Table sprayed and cleaned whilst food was on the table. Need a wee bit of training, easily fixed! "

"After a long flight, we were very happy to be able to rest in this beautiful place. The staff were all friendly and answered all our questions. We arrived quite late, 6:30pm in the evening. We ate at the Avalon restaurant for supper at 7pm. The meals were wonderful. The breakfast the next morning was wonderfully good and very filling, if you have the option to pick the breakfast included in your stay, I would highly recommend it. My family all had a great sleep in the very comfy beds. We would stay again if we ever have the opportunity to pass through. Family of five. "

"The only issue was the room was too hot. Air Con system in effective or faulty. Otherwise excellent all round. "
