This place is absolutely magical! The property is enchanting, the hostess fascinating and the breakfast out of this world! The shepherd’s huts are so charming, I guess you could call it “glamping”? The one thing I would say is that my knees aren’t great and I found the steps to the huts a little tricky, so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, but other than that it’s a 10 out of 10! I wish I could have stayed longer.

The castle is beautiful although due to a private function inside main castle didn’t feel we could go in lobby area. We were in Carriage house which was a wing of the castle as is attached although you have to go outside to gain entrance to castle. Our room was clean, huge & beautifully decorated. Grounds amazing and food at golf clubhouse was delicious. Check in was easy - young lady not all that friendly at desk but all other staff were beyond friendly and helpful.

This hotel is located in the heart of Kilkenny about 2 blocks from the castle. We did notice a little clutter and congestion in the parking lot (free parking included with stay) but only because of some ongoing renovations during our stay. From the outside the hotel doesn't look overly impressive but we found the inside very impressive and charming. It is clean and quiet and the room we had was large and quite modern.

We stayed 10 days in Ireland, driving around staying in different towns. We wanted to spend a day in Kilkenny and we decided to stay outside the city limits. We were a bit worried that it was too far, but it was worth it. The staff were excellent, the rooms were clean and felt like a traditional modern hotel. The bar and restaurant were good. I would 100% stay here again on my next trip.

Breakfast was delicious and the service again was outstanding. Our room was newly renovated with very comfortable beds, clean with the added bonus of a common kitchen area where we were able to play cards comfortably.

Kilkea Castle was a wonderful stay. Last minute we booked a room in the Lodges; unfortunately, the actual Castle was all booked up. This didn’t lessen the experience though. The lodge room was clean, comfortable, well-appointed and had a fairway view. We were also able to use the facilities in the castle itself. We weren’t there to golf and that was just as well as the course was closed for maintenance. As a golfer the course did look like a premium course, and I’d love to go back for...
