Firstly has anyone noticed the hotel name is actually spelt incorrectly on this site? Its Ballykealey Manor Hotel...anyway! What an amazing hotel-we attended a friends wedding there in December- The staff were fantastic at looking after all the guests-during the meal they were continually topping up our food and drink! The hotel was lovely and cozy with fires blazing and... more

I attended a family wedding in Ballykealy recently. I actually live about 10 km away from this hotel. . I booked a room for the night of the wedding as we didn't want to worry about taxies and we also wanted to be with family for the next morning. My husband has an ongoing illness, and unfortunatly, he became unwell... more

My boyfriend and myself stayed in this hotel last year for a romantic weekend. I found everything about it great. The food was amazing. So much so that we've returned last Sunday for the lunch. It has beautiful grounds, which are ideal for a romantic walk. The service was great too. The gentleman who owns the hotel was very friendly... more

i have visited this hotel on numerous occassions. it is the food that i have sampled rather than the accomodation. but i would say on the basis of the foo, and the atmosphere of the dining hall alone, go and visit this hotel. wondeful meals are provided the cosy and charming hall that is so pleasently heated that you could... more

Ballykealy is a wonderful hotel. Superb staff, excellent receptions, wonderful accomodations. I can't express enough the wonderful time I had here. My first visit was in 1994. I hold this place as one of the happiest places on Earth. Highly recommended. Also, make sure to visit the countryside. Especially the Malone's strawberry farm. more

I have organised two "management away days" at this hotel, one this year and one last year, and we have loved it each time. Its a gorgeous old country house with quirky rooms and staircases, set in beautiful grounds, about nine miles from Carlow. We got through a pile of work in the board room, had a fantastic meal, and... more

I just read a very poor review of this hotel and had to write my comments in its defence. Friends of mine got married here last year and it was a fantastic success. The meal was great with offers of second helpings to all guests, the staff were so friendly and helpful and the rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The... more

Ballykealy is an excellent hotel and a superb setting and local staff. They have the best function room for weddings in Carlow. Have a look at their website just to see the setting. more

There are only two words I can say to describe our time with this hotel - NEVER AGAIN!!! Accommodation is below standard. This we could live with, however, the staff were rude and unhelpful. We wanted to find something positive to say - but we couldn't find anything!!! This hotel is an embarrassment for our tourists. more
