Welcoming Castle

Gorgeous property! They made us feel very special, you know, like someone that stays in a castle.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was great. Staying in an old castle was a cool experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The only downside was the room which smelled musty and the windows had no screens so we had to be mindful of the bugs when airing it out. The bed was tiny, but comfortable.

Such an amazing experience, the staff were so kind and organized horse back riding for us in a days notice. They helped make our experience so special in Ireland. Beautiful view of the horses out front from our room. So lovely!

Our stay at Kinnitty Castle Hotel was amazing. It was such a beautiful place to stay. The breakfast was excellent.
Paula, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely Gothic castle with some nicely renovated parts but quite shabby and makeshift. Rubbish strewn around the building- it seems to be no one‘s job to pick it up and keep the place tidy. My bedroom was makeshift, to say the , looking like a DIY job. Staff were all very nice and breakfast was good. It would take millions to put the place right

History at its best!

Conor was amazing at check in - couldn’t do enough. Sabina, was delightful, friendly and again, couldn’t do enough. Service in Dungeon Bar, a bit hit or miss. No plate under Chowder, didn’t know what a finger bowl was for chicken wings - had to explain. Table sprayed and cleaned whilst food was on the table. Need a wee bit of training, easily fixed!

Special place!

We really enjoyed our Castle stay for our anniversary. The staff really made our anniversary very special which was much appreciated. The room was very comfortable. Beautiful grounds and trails to walk on. We enjoyed seeing the horses and deer out in the field. Very memorable.

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!

8/10 Very good

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.

It's a castle, what more could you ask for? Tea in the courtyard? Check! Castle-styled rooms? Check! Gorgeous gardens and grounds to walk through? Check! 10/10 would recommend

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Bradley, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

2/10 Poor

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.
Emmet, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our stay. The restaurant staff seemed inexperienced and not attentive. It was extremely noisy on our top floor room until about 2am. The other guests were not considerate as we could hear conversations and fighting through the late night. Around 1am we were all woken by the strong scent of cigarette smoke coming into our room. As non-smokers, that is really irritating. It was really uncomfortable. We’re not sure where it came from. The shower curtain has a pink hue on the bottom which is bacteria/mold and should be replaced. Having come directly from a wonderful authentic castle stay the night before, we really wish we would have done our research before booking.
Erin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Ficamos no quarto Owney e a limpeza estava péssima. Havia, pelo menos, 5 aranhas que conseguimos visualizar. Os cantos com muita poeira e no geral, uma impressão de descuido e de abandono. A experiência do castelo em si é bem interessante, mas não nos hospedaríamos mais nele.
Aranhas em vários cantos das paredes. Essas estavam no banheiro.
Aranha e muito pó ao lado da mesa de cabeceira.

Beautiful, Unique Castle Stay

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.
