Very neat accommodation. Grounds are fantastic. Service was good. Room was dirty. Had red crayon on wall and a coffee spill. Bathroom floor needs a good scrub and all corners had dirt and dust in them.

We love Kinnitty and got married there. We plan to come back. Our only issue was that we reached out to see if they could offer a discount for us as returning guests who got married there. The response and offer was disappointing and we found a much cheaper deal on hotels.com

Amazing!!!
I loved every second spent at this amazing castle! There were hiking and biking trails, lovely reading rooms and amazing nooks and hidden spots to explore. My sister and I shared the BIGGEST bed I’ve ever seen, and we enjoyed a small tea service one day. I 100% recommend this lovely place.
Biggest bed EVER!
Lovely entrance

Had high hopes having been here years back . However it is beyond need of caring love and attention . The bedroom was way too small for a couple. Bed also too small for a couple. Walls paper thin allowing us to hear everything next door . Food in dungeon bar poor to average . For example Cheesecake not a cheesecake but rather an angel delight like whip on top of a sponge. Nothing like any cheesecake ever seen before. Both the bar and library have potential but need decoration and new furniture…urgently Truthfully skipped breakfast as we both just wanted to get going and not waste any more time or calories. In fairness the staff we met were very nice ,it’s only a pity that there is no investment in the surroundings to freshen and warm the place up. . We both left thinking we had escaped from a 1980s midland nursing home ,the ones when they didn’t have to worry about state inspections or the like.

I mean, a Castle!! It was so unique and beautiful. We felt right at home from the moment we entered the property. We wandered around the castle, took a Fairy Trail with wooden sculptures, and fairies in the trees. A walk along the river was incredible with all the fall colors, red deer and horses in the field!

The grounds and rooms were wonderful. The staff was also very kind. When we got there they did not at first see our booking which was stressful, but it eventually got sorted. Our first room’s toilet also wasn’t functioning, so then we got moved to a new, upgraded room. They were very nice about it and handled it well, but we were in a time crunch trying to squeeze in as much sleep as possible and the issues set us back by at least an hour which wasn’t ideal.

charming castle, it not feel like a hotel. food and drink was great. I wish we had more time and that there was the ability to have a mountain bike delivered there as there were some great trails just from the parking lot of the castle

One Night at Kinnitty Castle
We booked this hotel last minute when we saw a YouTube video about the Castle. I am so glad we added this stop to our trip. Once we were checked into our beautiful room, we explored the castle and found the Library Bar. It was a cold evening, so we enjoyed drinks and dinner by the fire. We loved everything about our stay. The staff was helpful, and the other guests were so friendly. We can't wait to come back!

The staff and grounds were amazing. Thank you to the chef for preparing our afternoon tea without onions. I know how hard it is, to remake items. And, our favorite little fur host Bootsie, he was with us on almost every walk. Thank you again, we appreciate you all.

Room was awful but stay was still awesome
I have to say the rooms were just awful. Why? Bedding was stained, plumbing didn’t work and it feels like the windows are about to fall out. However, we would still return. Staff, grounds food and drinks make it worth it. Kelly’s is a nearby pub in Birr. You must try it. Great drinks and atmosphere.
