We had a nice 2 night Valentines break. Quick check in. Room was medium sized clean & comfortable. Breakfast was served to order & was very tasty. We had evening meals in the golf club both nights which was very tasty & service was good, this was a short 2 minute walk from the castle.

I can’t recommend Kilkea castle enough. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one. Five stars just isn’t enough. The grounds were pristine, the food delicious and we have never experienced customer service like this. If you are ever in the area please put Kilkea Castle on your must-do list.

Stayed in the coach house. Lovely retreat. Spa treatment was excellent. The sofa in the room was very tired and unclean, worthy of replacement. Overall a nice stay.
