Kilkea Castle is a stunning venue with incredibly maintained grounds and a rich history that adds to the charm of the stay. The staff truly elevate the experience with their warm hospitality, making guests feel welcomed throughout their visit. However, we faced a few disappointments, including limited dining options during our stay and some confusion regarding the use of the showers in our room. Overall, it’s a unique experience worth considering for a getaway, especially if you enjoy beautiful surroundings and spa treatments.

Kilkea Castle is a beautifully historic venue with wonderful staff who truly make you feel special. The castle's architecture and grounds are stunning, and the falconry experience is unforgettable. However, there were some areas of disappointment, particularly regarding room sizes and some dining experiences that didn't quite match expectations.

Staying at Kilkea Castle was a dream come true for me. The castle's stunning architecture and beautiful gardens provided a captivating backdrop for our stay. The falconry experience was a highlight, offering an unforgettable encounter with majestic birds. The cozy lounge areas were perfect for relaxing, but I wish there had been more variety in the dining options to enhance the experience.

Kilkea Castle offers a stunning backdrop for a memorable wedding or getaway. The castle's architecture and beautiful grounds truly elevate the experience. While the service is commendable, especially the staff's attentiveness, the chilly rooms were a letdown during our stay. Dining was exceptional, particularly with the tasty offerings at Hermoine's, but I found the price to be on the higher side.

Kilkea Castle offers a magical experience with its stunning architecture and beautifully maintained grounds. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, from the warm welcome at check-in to the exquisite dining experiences. However, I was slightly let down by the lodges, which didn't quite capture the essence of staying within the castle. The value was good overall, but the accommodations might not meet expectations for those seeking the full castle experience.

We stayed in a Carriage room, which was beautifully cozy with luxurious amenities, though the lodges felt more like a standard hotel room rather than capturing the castle's charm.
