Most hotels offer shower only rooms after remodeling. Breakfast in the hotel was amazing; included fresh fruits and juices, the traditional Irish entrees or you could opt for pancakes. Every meal includes potatoes; good potatoes. Something special about this hotel is the lavender balm. I meant to request more before I left. You rub this on your wrists or neck before bed and it is supposed to relax you and promote better sleep. It smells so good.

I asked him are there any decent people left in Ireland and I was given a snigger as a reply. I'm quite disappointed that I was treated like this customer service and a small budget compassion needs to be addressed by Management. I am in the hospitality business myself and if any of my staff treat any customer with such coldness and lack of concern, I would be deeply upset. the first that people see on arrival and departure and I really feel that this gentleman has left down my overall experience shall I say is not the best.

Yelp 100 Challenge 2018 - # 90/100…read more My really great best friend put my sister and me up for 3 days in this hotel so I don't know We had a double twin bed room. The bed was surprisingly comfortable despite it being old. Decor was dated but I like the fact that you can crack the window open to let in fresh air to chase away the stale smell of the carpet. Bath tub and shower stall are separate so 3 stars for the hotel. That one extra star goes to the free breakfast. Buffet style, you can build yourself a traditional Irish breakfast with eggs, ham/sausage and beans which I had the first day. There's fresh fruit, juices, tea and coffee. The bar in the first floor is always bustling, hence parking is also busy

When one of my best friends told me he was going to get married in a castle in Ireland, I was…read moreimmediately pumped for the trip. And Bellingham Castle was the chosen venue and boy it exceeded all expectations. I even got to stay here for one night and they had such a pleasant hospitality. We ended up getting the "Kevin" room, which had a balcony view of the garden and patches of greenery that stretched as far as the eye could see. The place was really peaceful and my New York State of mind was completely gone, although temporarily. I really felt like a little kid when I went on to explore the different rooms in the castle. The furnishings and designs are things you would expect to see in films. My favorite rooms were probably the Bottlery (wine room) and The Buttery (the kitchen). Their castle dog, Ri, was super adorable and roamed around as if he owns the place. Some castles can feel intimidating but this place felt very intimate and homey. If only I could live there forever....

It's where I "supervised" my little sister's Debs. I never ended up going to my own Debs so I bought a sexy dress and brought the date I'd hoped to bring ten years previously. We took photos and drank and gazed out the enormous windows at the tall trees in the night. The only supervising we did was rating the girls' dresses as they danced with their fellas' ties loosely wrapped around them. In fact, the supervisors' table was the one with the most empty vodka bottles beneath it. The bathrooms in the Keadeen Hotel are beautiful. I love peeing here. If Avoca and Kath Kidston were compressed into a loo area, it would look like this. The Keadeen is where I brought the embryo of the book I was writing. I'd carry my laptop and a pot of tea to a comfy armchair in the lounge and type away happily, occasionally listening in on the conversations of the old folks or the business meetings. I've since discarded my novel like a novelty fling but my love affair with the Keadeen continues...

Have never stayed here because their prices for mid-week stays are too high for me and their competition (NAMA or not) offer better value for the business traveller. Front desk receptionist had a bit of an attitude when I asked her for a ticket when I misplaced mine which left a bad taste in my mouth. Point to note, when you come off the motorway the hotel is on the right but you cannot cross the road here, you need to go to the next roundabout and come back on the opposite side. Meh. On a plus, their restaurant seems to have 2 Rosettes from the AA so mustn't be too bad. Maybe the next time if the receptionist smiles we could try it....

Saw a few things that could have been cleaned up a bit more before us getting checked into the room but it wouldn't stop us from going. We did the bed and breakfast- their breakfast was delicious. It had transitional Irish breakfast items (rashers, sausages, eggs, etc.) but I don't get meat so I went for the toast, egg, fruit, and a small bowl of Weetabix (my fav!). We would definitely consider staying here again.

Kilkea Hotel is a spectacular and beautiful property. The renovations to turn it into a hotel…read moreinclude some modern amenities but keep a lot of the historical charm of the property which I appreciated. We had one castle room and one carriage room for our stay. Both rooms were quaint and well maintained. The gardens around the property are gorgeous and wonderful to explore during nice weather. The only thing to note is that in off-season the main restaurant is only open on the weekends and the tea service is not available during the week. While we enjoyed the food at Hermione's, the day we stayed there was a group event closing the main restaurant so we had to eat in the bar area. Most of the activities are off the property which wasn't very clear as we approached the date of our stay. We ended up visiting the National Stud Farm (about 30 minutes drive) and the clay pigeon shooting (about 40 minutes drive). Highly recommend both activities and really appreciate the staff helping us arrange these activities. The downstairs bar area is open late with a delicious charcuterie and board games are available to use by the fireplace which was a fun way to spend the later evening hours. Highly recommend staying at Kilkea Castle Hotel!

Thanks again for the hospitality! Cheers
