This fantastic old world country home oozes charm. Myself and my wife stayed here, following a cookery course given by the gorgeous Catherine Fulvio at her lodge, nearby. I would highly recommend the cookery course, and then follow up with a night at this fantastic hotel, set in a lovely location. We were very lucky staying in room 4, which... More

After two nights in Dublin we were ready to hit the open road in our rental car. I booked our first stop of our trip at Tinakilly. We were NOT disappointed. As it was midweek and off season we felt as if we had the entire place to ourselves. The manager was wonderful, our dinner was superb with a very... More

We spent two nights in Tinakilly earlier this month as part of our honeymoon. We arrived exhausted the day after our wedding and were looking for some rest and relaxation. From the moment we arrived, the staff were all excellent. Check in was quick and extremely friendly, the lady even asked to see some wedding photos and seemed genuinely interested.... More

My husband and I stayed in Tinakilly house for just one night as a little anniversary treat. The hotel is a lovely spot to stay. If you prefer modern hotels, this may not be for you, as it is a (beautiful) old building, maintained in traditional style. We arrived on Easter Sunday afternoon and it was busy with families enjoying... More

My wife and I just celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary at Tinakilly. We couldn't have been more thrilled.This beautifully preserved Victorian mansion is a stark contrast from today's cookie cutter hotels, while still providing a luxurious stay at a surprisingly affordable price. The mansion was initially built by the British government for telegraph pioneer Robert Halpin in 1883. His... More

Don't know where to start as I was left a little confused. Tinakilly is full of contradictions. First off , the service and welcome were 100%. Having read some earlier reviews I was slightly concerned about this. Obviously the negative comments about the service and attitude of staff were taken on board. The staff, both at reception and in the... More
