The carvery had no Beef on the menu and I do not eat fish, chicken or turkey. We had a light meal on Saturday evening which was not cheap as a Burger was €15. Just an average hotel which was not average priced MH

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.

Went here for a 30th birthday party. We arrived and were…read moretold our room wasn't ready yet, which was fine, we wanted to grab some lunch anyway. When we finally checked in, our room was nice and clean, albeit quite small. The hotel has a very limited amount of rooms and our room had a double and single bed, along with a big table and chair, giving us very little room to move around. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was nice. Went for dinner in the restaurant that night, absolutely beautiful food. Very big portions and very very tasty. After dinner we went to the bar downstairs where we had reserved a booth back in February, we were informed that the booth was gone so we had words with the manager who sorted it very quickly. We watched the band for a while then decided to go to the nightclub. Worst. Idea. Ever. As soon as we walked in, we were caught up in a fight in which one of our group was dragged to the ground, ripping her skirt and breaking her shoe. We left immediately. No sign of security paying attention to what was happening. Very unprofessional. Breakfast the next morning was lovely, big portions and as much coffee as we could drink. Delish. Overall, the stay was nice. The staff within the hotel are great. The nightclub just put a dampener on it.

It is without a doubt the best place we have stayed in a long time. The room was beautiful, good size and a beautiful bathroom with a walk-in shower. Perfect for us. The management and staff went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. The food was amazing and a very reasonable price. I would without a doubt recommend to family, freinds or anyone looking for a top class hotel to check it out. We will be back. Clean, comfortable, not too far from town. Beautiful restaurant and Oaks Bar , plenty of choice for all tastes.

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!

The property itself is stunning. Plenty to do between golf, the spa, the gym, bird flying, walking around and great food plus drinks. We made the 30 minute ride to the outlet malls and loved that also. The proper Irish breakfast to start everyday was amazing! I wish they would bring that to the states. Thanks again for the hospitality! Cheers

Amazing Dinners, Chicken curry is one of my favourites to get here. Also very good fish and chips…read more All deserts are excellent, I love the sticky toffee pudding and the brownie. 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.

Had excellent fish and chips, nice pub atmosphere and the staff was very helpful. Lovely dinner out.read more
