Bar and waterfront is lovely, and great breakfast. I've been to multiple birthdays here with 10-20 people and they did an excellent job. Sadly, it is not that welcoming to kids, they used to have a small indoor playground. I also have been to a wedding there, but I bearly remember it. It is a little bit pricy though, so with a 3-course meal for 4-5 people families, be prepared to pay approx. €100.

The servers studiously avoid making eye contact to see if you want anything else. We were out all day except from about 2:30-4:30 and left the service sign on our room the whole time we were out -- it was never serviced. Ok but for this price you should demand better. This is essentially a three star hotel.

And, wow!... the breakfasts are outstanding, and so beautifully presented. But what made this place truly special are the kind and caring people who worked there. We really enjoyed getting to know them, and their stories. Our favorite places for dinner and within walking distance were: Rive Gauche, Rinoccini, Zuni, and Petronelli. Enjoyed a private walking tour by Pat Moylan, Kilkenny Walking Tour that the Butler house lined up for us. Pat is truly passionate about the history of Kilkenny, and we learned so much! And, Waterford was a quick day trip by train. Highly recommend the walking tour by Jack Burtchaell (meet at the Granville Hotel).

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.

I loved the free snacks and drinks. I made myself a gin and tonic right away! They do have a WhatsApp for messages and request, but it was a little hit or miss for me on responses. I was in the carriage house and it was so noisy from my neighbors. Maybe it's not as noisy in the main building. I also found the pillows is a little flat. I had dinner at Bishop's Buttery and it was excellent. The whole experience took about two hours. The service was good throughout the dinner, but at the end I could not get my bill! And I know that in Ireland, you need to ask for the bill, but I sat there for 20 minutes without anyone even making eye contact with me or checking in on me. So I was kind of annoyed at the end. I also used the spa, which was very lovely. You can use the indoor/outdoor pool, sauna, steam room, and experiential showers without booking a treatment and I love doing those things. I did also get a massage which was great.

This country house was built in 1732 and has recently made the "50 best new luxury hotels to visit". I was lucky enough to visit because it's not far from my home in Ireland. It only has 30 rooms. It is quintessentially Ireland, with fantastic food, ambience, and top-notch service. We had a blast, overindulging in food and drinks at the Guinness Bar and for Afternoon Tea. If you are on the fence about booking this five-star boutique hotel in the heart of Ireland... don't hesitate. It's amazing.

Its a popular hotel, and parking had extended across the grass lawns by late Saturday afternoon, as there was a Poker Classic on. Anyway, down to the food menu. Part of the stay is complimentary tea & scones on arrival; ours were still steaming they were so fresh from the over, yummy. Later then, two grilled sirloin steaks, mushrooms, onions, bowl of chips, side-salad if you ask nicely, accompanied by their new house red, a False Bay Shiraz at just €18, which washed it all down just nicely. The steaks were succulent right through. We chose to share a dessert then, a big slice of chocolate cake with choc sauce drooling over it. The choc sauce is tasty as its made in-house, not so the cake part; bought in apparently, a bit shall we say, saw-dusty ! They do good coffee though, and the full Irish next morning was delivered promptly to our room (extra charge of course) which just filled us up the more. This is a great voucher deal, watch out for it.

Out of every dinning experience that I have had in my entire life, Glenn would rank in the top 5 of the servers. Can't say enough about the service.

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!
