This is a golfer’s paradise. My golfer uncle from US would love this place. I am not a golfer but stayed at the lodges to attend a wedding in nearby Athy. The receptionists were lovely and extremely helpful. I should have taken their names. A special shoutout to the manager (again I didn’t take her name) of Hermione's Restaurant Friday evening 1st May and Saturday’s morning 2nd May for breakfast. She was very friendly, polite and professional. I would definitely recommend this place for a peaceful accommodation and delicious food. If you are a golfer, this will be a dream vacation. Thank you kindly, Kilkea Castle.

Exactly what you would expect staying in a picturesque castle and the beautiful grounds surrounding it. It’s like taking a step back in time and enjoying the tranquility and history of it all. Staff was very kind, helpful, attentive and the food was delicious. Would absolutely recommend to everyone!!

We stayed in the Lodges and they were very nice and clean and quiet. The rooms were large. Breakfast was delicious and the other dining options they had were very nice. They also had a bar inside the castle with a great view out to the gardens. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Property is beautiful and quiet. A little too quiet - if you don't play golf there is not much to do. The Lodges are older and looking a little worn. Staying here is still a good experience,

We got a room off the castle area, next to the gold course. Room size is nice but not great. Bathroom was strange and fan was very loud.

Excellent accommodation-suggest improving breakfast which we experienced including overcooked and cool and not in keeping with accommodation standards- disappointing

The air in the room didn't work so it got very stuffy with only one window and one exterior door to go out for air but nothing to stop bugs from coming in.....

Despite the ‘Lodges’ name, these units are more like motel suites than picturesque lodges. The furniture is neither updated modern nor classic- just dated. The bathrooms have not been renovated and the facilities are mediocre. The castle is beautiful structurally but poorly curated. Food and service at the Cadtle dining room was good. Food service at the Lodge dining room was erratic, slow and below standard. Great potential with poor execution.
