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

The grounds were beautiful, the food was pretty good and the people were super friendly but the rooms really needed some upgrading they were run down the faucets were loose the heat was constantly on with no AC! The room had a weird smell. Not one of our better hotels that we stayed at in Ireland and without upgrading I probably wouldn't again.

Grand Stay!!

This was by far our favorite stay while we were in Ireland. The staff was absolutely the best!! Vicki and Connor were so kind and accommodating. We had such a lovely time and wanted to really stay longer. I wanted to stay at a authentic castle and that's the way it felt. It was a dream come true for me and my husband. We will be back.

Castle was great

Service was fantastic! Everyone was very inviting and friendly. We stayed at the castle Dec 30th. Vivian at the front desk was great, she took our families on a ghost tour throughout the castle. The bartender, wait staff and overnight porter were great as well!

Sadly, not the same great experience we had in 2019 which is what brought us back. I heard that it was under new ownership, and that things had downhill but decided to see for ourselves. The property is still awesome and we love the authentic feeling of the house and buildings but the staff just didn't seem like they wanted to be there, let alone provide great service. The check in girl send like she was eager to leave for the day and the dungeon dining experience was the worst we had in Ireland. My husband has to get up twice to ask for things that should have been caught by our servers (silverware, the check) It was very quiet and there was maybe two other tables well into their meals so it's not like it was a busy night or anything. The first server to finally great is just first out asked 'if we knew what we wanted for our main course'. No drink order, no hello. I had to explain that we hadn't even gotten drinks yet and that we actually wanted appetizers before our main entrees. The overall feeling I got was that they were very young, inexperienced people working there now that have not had the proper training nor management. We live Kinnitty and really hope this aspect improves.
