    A magical castle experience

    Waking up in the Fitzgerald Suite was pure bliss, with champagne waiting for us. The staff made our anniversary celebration special with their attentiveness and warm hospitality.

    The bathroom layout could be better. I struggled with limited space for our toiletries, a minor inconvenience in an otherwise perfect stay.

    The room is a bit shabby.

    The hotel was a fantastic base for enjoying a nice enough area, just next door to the 1180 restaurant as well as a 12 century castle beatifully restored. The location was lovely for our holiday. They gave a classic room with the bedroom, an excellent touch, view of the walled gardens as we booked

    Couples treat worth every penny

    The food at the club house was amazing, my partner and I ordered the special and it blew our taste buds away. The service in the restaurant was great! John, the waiter, was such a gem, he made sure we got the best table, sharing stories, made the vibe even better.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but honestly, I'd say it was totally worth it given the experience.

    bathroom faucet
    extra charges
    lack of information

    Kilkea Castle has such a beautiful setting. I loved my Superior Carriage Room. It was spacious and comfortable. The castle grounds are picturesque, perfect for a stroll. Dinner in Hermiones Restaurant was excellent, thanks to John's attentive service. The thermal suite was lovely too, but that €30 fee per person felt a bit steep for hotel guests. The bathroom faucet was tricky to operate, annoying. They should really tell guests at check-in about the horse riding being 35 minutes away. I wish there were more options for light bites in the bar area too. More snacks would've been nice. It was relaxing and had a cozy atmosphere, but a bit more information and some extra convenience would enhance the experience.

    comfortable room

    The castle is a beautiful historic venue, and the superior carriage room was so comfortable. They remembered my name and were super helpful. Enjoying dinner at the 1180 restaurant was a highlight, as was the lovely thermal suite that included a revitalizing facial.
