The rooms are incredible. So pretty and clean. Breakfast was AMAZING- order from a menu with a large variety of items and the proportions were HUGE- we should have shared meals. The grounds were so beautiful and the two wolfhounds that roam the castle were so cool and friendly- they posed with us for photos. lol Also- the noon checkout time was absolutely perfect, we went for a long walk and explored after breakfast.

Nothing! It was a wonderful castle to stay in! Loved reading the history of Ballyseede in the books provided in the room. Very cool place!

This was an outstanding experience to stay in a castle. The grounds and rooms are simply amazing and HUGE! The breakfast was included and cooked to your specifications and it was delicious and served in beautiful plates. The staff was really friendly and offered to bring up our bags since the castle has no elevators (but we didn't need that) but just to offer this was nice.

The restaurant could have better service for dinner. The food is mediocre but still sitting in the lovely outdoors was very nice - however the food could be tastier. The servers seemed short staffed but it wasn't a bit deterrent.

Beautiful castle with gorgeous grounds. It’s just 30 mins away from Killarney. I went with friends but I can see how it would be perfect for a wedding and/or a romantic getaway with a partner. The woods walk is nice to do before or after a meal. We stayed in the main building and the rooms were spacious and stunning. I only wish I had an opportunity to use the clawfoot tub for bath. Breakfast was made to order and delicious. Don’t skip out on the scones and muffins, they were fantastic!

We opted to have dinner at the restaurant and I thought it was okay. The tomato soup and dessert were delicious but my entree was okay.

Castle is beautiful. Grounds are beautiful. Felt like a bit of a princess staying there. Breakfast was outstanding. Walking trails in the woods were magical. Pony and donkeys and statues everywhere, felt so authentic to me. We got to meet Joe dog and he was cool!

I would have given Ballyseede Castle a perfect rating if it wasn't for the fact that they were paving when we got there and it really put a damper on our arrival. We had to park at the lodge. We didn't realize we were in the lodge and not the main castle as we wanted to stay in our first castle, so we were a bit bummed. It all turned out for the better as we didn't know it was haunted in the main castle so when we heard that history we were glad to be staying in the lodge whether you believe in that stuff or not. ;) The cherry trees looked amazing but we chuckled when we realized they were fake. They still looked great and we wondered whether they turned the lights on them on during the night-- would have been pretty!

We adored our 1 night stay in Ballyseede Castle! It was romantic, beautifully decorated and comfortable. The staff was amazing and eager to please. The breakfast was order off the menu as well as a buffet, and was more than we ever imagined, Everything was delicious. The Irish wolfhounds and all the dogs who roam the castle were so cute and friendly as well. Esther, our server in the dining room for breakfast was most helpful in providing us with information about the area and places we should visit. She was so sweet!

NOTHING! We LOVED it all!

I loved my visit with my 2 friends. One of my friends was home from Australia. As long time friends from school all celebrated our 60 birthdays this year. This was our gift to enjoy ourselves, relax , and chat in the comfort of your property. The weather was beautiful so we were able to walk around the grounds and the nearby woods.We also got to take a look at the layout of the room for the lucky 154 guest attending the wedding that day. Thank you for creating memories for my friends and I.

Everything was perfect even the weather.

We stayed at the family lodge which was down the road, few minutes walk to the castle. It was great and spacious. The castle itself was really special, beautifully designed and taken care of with two bars and a restaurant and gardens. The farm animals were a plus and the pups were also adorable. Breakfast was included -choice of omelets, pancakes, eggs Benedict to name a few.

The first morning the breakfast took a while-they were very busy and perhaps short handed . The second morning was great.

Breakfast was excellent and the waitstaff were very engaged. The bedroom was spacious and clean. And, the common area "drawing" rooms were something right out of "Downton Abbey."

The dining room offered fine dining in the evening which was excellent. But, you could only eat at the same location one or two nights. After that, the only option was in the new, sterile looking lunch room. There was absolutely no ambiance in that room which reminded me of a McDonalds. The room was great for lunch or for families, but not for nice dinner - especially considering we were in a historic castle. An alternative could have been the beautiful old bar which would have been great for late night snacks and a cocktail. Unfortunately, the staff refused to open the room.

The property is beautiful. Wish we were able to stay at the castle instead of the lodge. But the lodge was still good. Large bathroom. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel were nice.

The furnitures in our room at the lodge showed signs of worn out.

Beautiful place. Had horses an donkies outside that the kids enjoyed interacting with. Our hotel room was a little dated but clean and comfortable. No AC - wasn't a problem since it wasn't hot and this was Mid August.

The staff taking our breakfast order seemed annoyed and impatient. A different staff member scolded us when my 4-year-old started playing on the floor next to us. While I understand that my child shouldn’t have been doing that and that it could be hazardous for the staff and others (which I was trying to address), I did not appreciate the way we were spoken to—judgmental with some annoyance. These two interactions left a bad taste, and I'm unsure if I want to return to this hotel. During our 2-week vacation, I've stayed in six hotels, and this is the only place where I encountered such negative interactions with the staff. Otherwise the rest of the stay was pleasant. I would still recommend this hotel to others.
