10/10 Excellent
"Everyone was very friendly and especially helpful when we needed to upgrade our rooms for our two-night stay. Both rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were terrific. I’m sure the work zone, once completed, will be great."
"Hard to fault on many levels. Hotel is clean and well maintained. Had an evening meal in the restaurant which was nice. Plenty of parking. Room was clean, good bed and pillows. Ticks all boxes."
"Kinnitty Castle is a magical place to stay. The staff is warm and inviting, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the common areas are lovely. The beds are HUGE and very comfortable; the "throne room" has the most amazing soaking tub and was a welcome amenity after a chilly, rainy hike. The hotel provides a brochure with history of the castle; each room is named for a historical person who is affiliated with the castle and there is a bio for each. There are hiking trails (including a fun fairy trail) around the beautiful, forested property as well as other fun activity options: whiskey tasting, archery, and I believe you can arrange for horse riding. The hotel is currently transitioning to new ownership and they are making strides to refresh the hotel; although there were a few very minor areas of concern (wear & tear, paint, etc), we did not feel like those areas were a negative, we felt like they enhanced the ambiance.
We dined in the Dungeon bar both nights and the food was very good. It can be a little chilly down there, so bring a light sweater or wrap; again- it added to the ambiance. For breakfast, we dined in the main dining room which is very lovely and the food was delicious; we were even blessed by a beautiful rainbow! The staff, especially Aoife, was so excellent. Make sure you book a whiskey tasting with Connor and the lovely afternoon tea!
We stayed two nights and it wasn't enough; we will return to the castle on our next visit to Ireland."
"Beautiful establishment. Convenient parking. Super comfortable beds and excellent setup in room for charging devices. Highly recommend this location for a quiet comfortable stay "
