"Gave a perfect 5*️⃣ because the hotel was amazing. If you are a woman be wary of walking into town after dark as I was catcalled by several drunk men. Not the hotel’s fault though and it was a 25-ish min walk away. "
"Kinnitty Castle is a magical place to stay. The staff is warm and inviting, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the common areas are lovely. The beds are HUGE and very comfortable; the "throne room" has the most amazing soaking tub and was a welcome amenity after a chilly, rainy hike. The hotel provides a brochure with history of the castle; each room is named for a historical person who is affiliated with the castle and there is a bio for each. There are hiking trails (including a fun fairy trail) around the beautiful, forested property as well as other fun activity options: whiskey tasting, archery, and I believe you can arrange for horse riding. The hotel is currently transitioning to new ownership and they are making strides to refresh the hotel; although there were a few very minor areas of concern (wear & tear, paint, etc), we did not feel like those areas were a negative, we felt like they enhanced the ambiance.
We dined in the Dungeon bar both nights and the food was very good. It can be a little chilly down there, so bring a light sweater or wrap; again- it added to the ambiance. For breakfast, we dined in the main dining room which is very lovely and the food was delicious; we were even blessed by a beautiful rainbow! The staff, especially Aoife, was so excellent. Make sure you book a whiskey tasting with Connor and the lovely afternoon tea!
We stayed two nights and it wasn't enough; we will return to the castle on our next visit to Ireland."
"Absolutely delightful stay from check-in, room, help with dinner reservations, rooftop bar, breakfast. Really were pleasantly surprised how beautiful the hotel and room were. Girl and Spanish guy on reception were so helpful and friendly. "
