"Had a little difficulty checking in as we arrived late due to delays on the flight. Bar was busy and had trouble with entrance cards. The rooms were delightful, prefer that water is not in the water reservoir as you don’t know how old it is. The bed and linen is delightful, bathroom spotless. I would stay again though, real nice welcome. Parking is good, but would have liked clearer direction before arriving."

"Food very good. Staff excellent. As a castle it is a very old building but a lot of dust in the room. "

"No late night bar,closed at 11.30."

"It is difficult to fault Kilkea Castle as every aspect of the property impressed. The little things therefore matter and small faults in maintenance, which should be dealt with in a luxury property, tend to stand out more. However, that is digging into the fine detail. So, first impressions carried through from first stepping inside with a warm welcome, the engaging housekeeping staff and superbly professional dining/breakfast room staff. On site activities are a nice touch and worth looking at. Food was well prepared and delivered well. Room was well appointed and tastefully decorated in keeping with the overall castle make-over. Would we go back, in a blink of an eye. Well located in Co.Kildare, the castle offers a great location to explore Ireland's spinal counties. Is Kilkea a great location to simply relax at, absolutely. Go on, indulge."
