The hotel grounds are just stunning Breakfast in a castle is pretty top tier! Good options for breakfast and everything was well cooked and delicious, had more a bed and breakfast feels rather than hotel with more intimate table service. I would have preferred better quality and more options with bread, rather than low quality white and brown sliced for toast that was served. I did feel this let down the breakfast. This is the only reason I dropped a star. ##### Fergal Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth 11 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed a wonderful family birthday weekend.

Short walk to the main castle And beside the restaurants. Room was spacious and the bed was big. The TV system /channels and remote not very good though. We did the small spa, which was lovely. 25 per person for an hour. Breakfast was in the castle for us as we stayed in Feb, otherwise I think the lodges are in hermiones restaurant. The breakfast was lovely. ##### leonard Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Property is beautiful and quiet.

Staying here is still a good experience, ##### Gregory Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Syed 6 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Syed Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly 11 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Outstanding! The service and staff was amazing. From our first experience with Micheal( first day on the job) too Emily ( whom I believe was in training) she made our experience at the club house for dinner a fantastic time. Thank you both. ##### Kimberly Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 28 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property. Very nice staff. Really cool place. Only complaint I would have is turn that terrible musack off. Do something else. Playing terrible elevator music ruins the environment ##### James Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Beautiful castle and grounds but weak infrastructu 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frederick 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent Resort, we wished we had booked a few more days there. ##### Frederick Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey 27 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such an amazing experience to stay in the lodges at this beautiful castle! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0f9e3330-f812-49da-b5c1-f32efab01001-1759007899379.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tracey Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good quality venue for golf, spa and events. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carton House a Fairmont Managed Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maynooth-Hotels-Carton-House-A-Fairmont-Managed-Hotel.h1404070.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [Cliff at Lyons](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Celbridge-Hotels-Cliff-At-Lyons.h15475279.Hotel-Information) > > [The Keadeen Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbridge-Hotels-The-Keadeen-Hotel.h108216.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel & Leisure Club Sligo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sligo-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Leisure-Club-Sligo.h1194108.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenroyal Hotel & Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maynooth-Hotels-Glenroyal-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h1118557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hamlet Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johnstown-Bridge-Hotels-Hamlet-Court-Hotel.h12320689.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > > [The Central Hotel Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Central-Hotel-Donegal.h15716211.Hotel-Information) > > [Kee's Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranorlar-Hotels-Kees-Hotel-Wellness-Centre.h4902351.Hotel-Information) > > [Killashee Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naas-Hotels-Killashee-Hotel.h908930.Hotel-Information) > > [The K Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Straffan-Hotels-The-K-Club.h78594.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Northern Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Great-Northern-Hotel.h1788827.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moyvalley-Hotels-Moyvalley-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h1988091.Hotel-Information) > > [Osprey Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naas-Hotels-Osprey-Hotel.h1049955.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloomfield House Hotel, Leisure Club & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mullingar-Hotels-Bloomfield-House-Hotel.h1057525.Hotel-Information) > > [Silken Thomas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kildare-Hotels-Silken-Thomas.h3096215.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Mount-Errigal-Hotel-Conference-Leisure-Centre.h1561953.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Lawlors of Naas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naas-Hotels-Lawlors-Hotel.h4440061.Hotel-Information) > > [Allingham Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Allingham-Arms-Hotel.h37893738.Hotel-Information) > > [Redcastle Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moville-Hotels-Redcastle-Hotel.h1538640.Hotel-Information) > > [Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enniskerry-Hotels-Powerscourt-Hotel.h1680006.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgrove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clane-Hotels-Westgrove-Hotel.h2340643.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > > [Hillgrove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaghan-Hotels-Hillgrove-Hotel.h521923.Hotel-Information) ---
