Castle was Ok,Beds were very hard.If you plan to stay on a Friday and Saturday night it gets a little loud due to the dining downstairs,it subsides about 1:00 a.m. Good area to stay for sightseeing,Breakfast was just Danish and cheese and cold cereal.Loved the two dogs.No Internet access unless you wanted to pay for it.I was suprised that there... more

This hotel was amazing! It is not possible to say anything negative about Ballyseede Castle. The feeling you get walking in the door is the beginning to a fabulous stay, the decor matches the building to perfection, the staff treat each guest like royalty, the food in the restaurant could actually be served to royalty and likewise the breakfast-compliments to... more

I don't know what other people experienced that wrote the poor reviews, but as far as I'm concerned they just wanted someone to vent too. This Castle is wonderful!

Our rooms were large, clean, and well appointed with excellent toiletries, and luxurious feeling towels and bathrobes. The staff... more

Ballyseede is a beautiful hotel with amazing potential. The architecture is beautiful, the common room decor is charming, and with the right management this could be one of the best hotels in Ireland. However, the service and food were unimpressive, they play the same songs over-and-over in the bar and make it feel tired, the computer for checking email is... more
