Large enough not to feel too cramped, with in room bathrooms. There is not an elevator. I required assistance getting my suitcase up the stairs. They have a very nice dining room. A separate bar area, and a room to the side for private parties. The food is very good, with huge servings. The staff is friendly and very helpful. There are bus stops right outside the hotel, making it easier to use public transportation. A taxi from Wexford city to the hotel runs about 13 pounds. I would stay here again .

We've been in Carrick for three weeks, staying nearby, and walk to the hotel's restaurant nearly every day for tea, coffee, scones, and sometimes for lunch or dinner. The Carraig has the best wi-fi internet we've found in the town, giving us a chance to remain in touch with home in the U.S. The staff here is the best, friendly, helpful. They're open from about 8 AM until late, and can pull a really nice pint (or half-pint if you prefer) of Guinness, as well as a selection of other beverages. We haven't had occasion to use the hotel facilities, but no doubt they'll measure up to the downstairs. Thanks to all the staff for providing a home away from home.

The room was bright and airy, very comfortable bed and well-appointed bathroom and with a panoramic view of the car park. A pity but no biggie either. Dinner in the restaurant was pretty good too and the breakfast the following morning plentiful and really excellent. However, I have to say there is a distinct hi-de-hi quality to Kelly's which seems to be their USP. The clientele on the midweek night we were there was a mixture of retired couples and families with very young children. Afternoon tea was complimentary but we arrived to discover an entertainments manager starting a table quiz for the eager denizens giving the place a distinct air of a retirement community rather than a hotel. Returning to the same bar after dinner, a musical duet were eviscerating an old Kenny Ball standard, curiously using a guitar to imitate a saxophone. On reflection, we opted for an early night. I realise this is exactly why people return to Kelly's again and again but, frankly, it was not our cup of Darjeeling. Unlikely to return but if organised events in a resort hotel are your thing, who am I to argue?

It's a great family hotel with a kids club and plenty of entertainment to keep them busy. But there's lots for grown-ups too. They have a fabulous new spa which has every treatment you could imagine. Did I mention it's by the beach?! I love being by the sea. It's also a treat to sit out in the hot tub and watch the waves crash on the beach below. The best part though is the food. Be warned, it might be too much for some people. There's breakfast, then there's a gorgeous buffet lunch (or you can have lunch in the dining room), there's afternoon tea and then of course there's dinner. The food is fabulous, local and great Irish dishes. There's also La Marine bar and restaurant if you want something a little less formal. Kelly's has all of the attributes of an old fashioned hotel experience in a beautifully modern, cosy hotel.

The staff are friendly and attentive, and if you are a local you are bound to meet someone in here you know.

Each time I have eaten here I have found the food to be filing and tasty with food orders arriving in good time. They also have a restaurant - Oyster Lane restaurant which provides a luxurious dining experience. The hotel overlooks the marina and they have their own car park at the rear which is free of charge as long as you are a paying customer :-) So if you are looking for quality fresh food then look no further!

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!
