We stayed in the carriage house and a friend stayed in castle. Both were great. Breakfast was fantastic and we had a great meal at the golf restaurant. I love running, and there are some great country roads nearby to walk or run.

Our arrival and stay at Kilkea Castle was perfect and every detail was exactly as I had hoped. Clean rooms, exceptional service, and an amazing setting. Superb. Trying to depart was not so great. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, and I only say this as a warning to others. Book your transportation through the hotel as our prebooked car never arrived, and the ride shares would not pick up in the early morning.

How fun to stay in a castle! This one is accessible but still luxurious. We didn't have time to take advantage of the gorgeous golf course or spa services, but the fine dining restaurant for dinner, breakfast and grounds were everything we were hoping for and more. Would highly recommend and hope to go back!
