Lovely countryside hotel
Lovely hotel with great views. The room was large, bed large and very comfy, and bathroom large and well equipped. We didn't get a chance to go to the spa but had a pleasant walk around the grounds which are well sign-posted.

Loved modern hotel.
We stayed here as part of a wedding party. The location is stunning, the drive up to the hotel is very picturesque. Our room was excellent with two Juliet balconies facing in different directions. The decor and fittings were like new and very modern. A good sized bathroom and plenty of hanging space for our clothes.

Stayed in Woodside Cottage £220 for the night, swimming pool and thermal facilities timed with allocated slots, bit like during COVID.This facility is at a cost of £20 per person despite having paid for our accomodation
I think Killeavey Castle is punching above its weight,it's a drab grey and green on the outside and ultra modern and minimalist internally,this might have worked if "castle" had been dropped from the title.Not a single open fire or panelled wall.
We just had lunch,chowder was delicious but duck wings were grey and tasteless.
Staff were just about pleasant - not quite sure if they were happy to be there or not.

I liked the grounds of the property and the walks. Dinner was excellent and service very good but breakfast was lacking between quality and service however I feel in some way that it was miss sold by Expedia as the pictures don't really show the external plain looking structure that you arrive up to and stay in they show a lovely looking castle which sold it to me. So first impression from car park wasn't great no picture on the site off this first view of the property. The interior finish on this hotel in general is very simple I stayed in the superior guest room and found the room ok, the Bathroom compared to other 4star holels was lacking and very cheaply finished. To sum it up just no wow factor from entering the hotel to leaving it.

Killeavy Castle courtroom view stay
Lovely hotel and grounds, spa was small but adequate and great condition, food was excellent, a we bit slow getting dinner, but it was worth the wait! Buffet breakfast, plus i order fresh pancakes of the menu which where top notch. We went for a walk up the mountains after check out, and we took in some incredible views. First time there, i would recommend it. I'm sure we'll be back again in the future.

Great hotel setting and couldn’t fault the quality of the hotel, rooms, service and facilities as a wedding venue. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel grounds provided excellent walks in a woodland environment. The wedding catering was just perfect and the castle itself was the perfect location, slightly away from the main hotel, for the party to continue as long into the night as desired. Definitely recommended.

A lovely, and large property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My only complaint is the lack of real room service after 9pm. Having a sandwich after a day on the road wasn't a great finish to the day.

Absolutely brilliant!
We had a lovely room overlooking the walled garden. We ate in the bistro and on the 2nd night enjoyed their tasting menu. Both meals were excellent and I can highly recommend the 7 course tasting menu. Staff are so friendly and everywhere is kept very clean and to a high standard. Plenty of walks from the castle into Slieve Gullion forest park. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Overall, this is a lovely, modern hotel.
We stayed two nights, with our 7 week old baby, in a family room (one king size and one queen size bed).
In general, the room was great. Very modern and clean. Bed was super comfortable and they had a cot in the room (on arrival) for our baby. Only two negatives about the room - the shower screen is far too short (so the entire bathroom gets soaked during a shower) and the TV would randomly restart itself in a different language.
Staff around the hotel were very polite and friendly. One young man in particular was excellent (served us for breakfast one morning). They were also very accommodating with us having a young child and a pram (in the restaurant etc.).
Only two small negatives - service at dinner (both nights in the bar/bistro) was extremely slow. Checking in when we arrived was also very slow (took more than 10 mins…).
Food in the restaurant was excellent. Breakfast also had a great selection.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly go again.
