It was one of the best stays I've had, in and out of Ireland. On top of the amazingly beautiful mansion, with its perfect decoration to make us feel at home, the wonderful food, and the luxurious rooms, Hannah is a great host. I've felt welcome from entering the building. Even when we were a few hours early for check-in, we got some tea to enjoy in the library room.
It all was just lovely and so greatly enjoyable. I'll try to return in the future!

Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast
This castle was a true dream. The rooms and staff were fabulous. We had so much fun with Shawna and Lucy, their service was perfect and their interaction with us made our stay fun. The food and drinks were great and served with perfection. The castle was clean and made you feel like royalty. I am not sure if it had an elevator but we did not mind the stairs, you are after all in a true century old castle. We would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in a castle.

The castle itself is magnificent.
The castle itself is magnificent. Great Staff … all so friendly and helpful. Wedding Ceremony room was beautifully decorated. Excellent breakfast served with a smile 😊 Had a delicious meal in the library… definitely the most generous pizza I have come across. I could only get through half of it.
There is no lift so it was difficult bringing luggage up three flights of stairs.

It was fun staying in an authentic castle, it was preserved nicely. I wish we had taken time to walk the grounds and experience gardens and trails. We only stayed one night, and the accomodations were nice - but it was definately an "old" facility. The restaurant in the "dungeon" had a lot of character, the food was good but the service was awful.

The hiking trails around the castle were amazing, easy to complete (no steep hills, paths are large and comfortable). The animals live and animate the scenery. The room was great value for money.
The availability of food (good) at the bar was important since we arrived by taxi and didn't want to walk to the village to eat, although it's close by.
The water available to purchase could come in bigger sizes.

we stayed in Kinnity Castle and would highly recommend it for couples looking to get away for some alone time. food and service was excellent and the building was amazing. the rooms were spotless and very comfortable. theres also some nice walks nearby too!
This is an absolutely gorgeous property. The castle is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, the food was delicious, the beds were comfortable, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We loved our stay here. There are beautiful walks all over the property and lots of old buildings and walls to look at. The energy is very relaxing and peaceful. We loved it. We definitely want to try to get back to this property and have a bit longer stay next time.
The suite we were staying in was exceptional. Beautiful roll top bath. Huge room with exquisite chandeliers. The bed was roomy and comfortable, authentic decor and the whole castle was surprisingly toasty. Food was tasty and we retired to the library bar for a night cap and a quiet read. Beautiful grounds for a walk the next morning completed a perfect stay at this glorious hotel.
Unique experience, something different and alternative! Ideal for a group getaway (especially hen/stag parties) or just a small group get together! Quite and remote, with Kinnitty castle trail loops up the road! We loved every minute of our stay! The pub itself is ideal, on the doorstep of the townhouse/lodges! pizza and pints, just simple & delicious!
The castle was beautiful but the accommodations themselves were very subpar. The bathroom floor was filthy, the bed was very uncomfortable and there were spiders and spiderwebs everywhere. I get that the place was old so I expected it to be a little rustic but you can make rustic be clean, especially if you are calling yourself a 4-star hotel.
Beautiful castle stay. The receptionist upgraded our room to a suite because it was available. I honestly felt like royalty staying in this castle. I really enjoyed the Library Bar. We had a wonderful time and will always remember this stay! 👑
The place was great. It was our first experience in Kinnitty castle. We loved the room, great staff and some lovely walks. Food was great as well.
And the place was so quiet at nighttime. We definitely will be coming back.
When you read the reviews and study website you come with high expectations which this place does not meet at all. Not at all nice place. We we left an found another hotel in 50 km distance.
Charming and well-maintained Irish castle. Beautiful grounds to explore. Staff were warm, friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast. We booked the Irish tea, which was lovely.
The staff were very welcoming! The grounds were beautiful as well, and the castle was very comfortable- lots of places to sit and read/relax apart from the room.
