Kilkea Castle is only open to wedding parties now but I thought I'd write a review anyway in case anyone reading is contemplating staying there for a wedding. I realize that it's an old castle, but for the price I expect cleanliness and comfort...the beds were hard and the bathroom could do with a good cleaning and re-caulking (personal pet... more

A friend and I had been staying in budget accommodation throughout our trip, but decided to splurge on a twin room at Kilkea for 212 Euro. We loved the suit of armour in the hallway, and the medieval 'feel' of the room. The view of the gardens from our room was also great. My friend made use of the pool,... more

Stayed at the Golf Lodges when attending a friends wedding durng the summer. The accommodation was brilliant for a large group, we had three rooms in one lodge which included a lounge and fully equipped kitchen. The rooms were new and very clean. Each room had an ensuite bathroom and a patio onto the golf course. The breakfast (served in... more

After spending the weekend at my brother's wedding at Kilkea Castle I could not recommend or rate the castle highly enough from the moment we checked in on the Thursday, the wedding was on the Friday which was stupendous, until we checked out on the Saturday the staff were more than attentive, the rooms were luxurious and the food was... more

This was the one hotel I was worried about, since I'd read so many bad reviews. It was fine! We had no problems at all. Our only disappointment was that it looked "hotel-ish" on the inside. But it still keeps the atmosphere of a castle...our bedroom was huge with two walls of big metal windows, a chandelier, rich colors (reds... more

We (2 female cousins over 60) arrived late after a very difficult day on the road in the rain. We had not eaten and everything had just closed. The staff were more than accomodating and made us soup and bread and brought it to our room. It was just what we needed! The room was absolutely awesome. We had a... more

Couldnt believe we actually paid 190 euro to stay for one night!! the setting is lovely but everything else about this place is awful. Rooms were dirty, the amoutn of dust we found on the headboard was shocking. Carpets were filthy, wall paper peeling off, toilet seat had fallen off the toilet, i was afraid to take a shower as... more

We paid €180 for a room here two weeks ago, and that was apparently a discount. The castle is superbly presented and maintained- the best I have seen, and it has a long and genuine history unlike most places masquerading as a "castle" in Ireland. However, when we arrived the room was suffocating- nobody, it seems, took the initiative to... more

We were invited to a wedding in the hotel but decided to stay at the newly built golf lodges adjacent to the golf club. The lodges were excellent value, absolutely spotless and very comfortable. The grounds were immaculately kept and restaurant where breakfast was served overlooked the golf course. The staff were attentive, friendly and could not do enough for... more
