Her only complaint was that it had a pea purée bed under the fish and it made the bottom a little soggy. We finished with a pear tart and ice cream dessert and it was yummy as well. Beers were the traditional offerings on tap. Prices weren't bad either - what one would expect after a couple days in Ireland.

This country house was built in 1732 and has recently made the "50 best new luxury hotels to visit". I was lucky enough to visit because it's not far from my home in Ireland. It only has 30 rooms. It is quintessentially Ireland, with fantastic food, ambience, and top-notch service. We had a blast, overindulging in food and drinks at the Guinness Bar and for Afternoon Tea. If you are on the fence about booking this five-star boutique hotel in the heart of Ireland... don't hesitate. It's amazing.

We DID do a Falconry experience that was really cool. (I recommend it) The bar was great. The high point of the stay was the dinner we ate at the Hermione's restaurant. I had a ribeye steak with a pressed potato. Both very good. Our server Glenn was outstanding. Out of every dinning experience that I have had in my entire life, Glenn would rank in the top 5 of the servers. Can't say enough about the service.

Kilkea Hotel is a spectacular and beautiful property. The renovations to turn it into a hotel…read moreinclude some modern amenities but keep a lot of the historical charm of the property which I appreciated. We had one castle room and one carriage room for our stay. Both rooms were quaint and well maintained. The gardens around the property are gorgeous and wonderful to explore during nice weather. The only thing to note is that in off-season the main restaurant is only open on the weekends and the tea service is not available during the week. While we enjoyed the food at Hermione's, the day we stayed there was a group event closing the main restaurant so we had to eat in the bar area. Most of the activities are off the property which wasn't very clear as we approached the date of our stay. We ended up visiting the National Stud Farm (about 30 minutes drive) and the clay pigeon shooting (about 40 minutes drive). Highly recommend both activities and really appreciate the staff helping us arrange these activities. The downstairs bar area is open late with a delicious charcuterie and board games are available to use by the fireplace which was a fun way to spend the later evening hours. Highly recommend staying at Kilkea Castle Hotel!

I am guessing I am not the only one because they added a super bright light to the middle step against the wall, with NO off switch. I had to cover it with a pillow! The shower pressure was weak. My window on the first floor faced the main entrance so all night I heard the pew pew sounds of the cross walk lights and the noisy traffic. I did not sleep well. The best part of the hotel was the included dinner - the chicken was really good!

Our window however while it faced the water was positioned so you needed to stand on tippy toe to see out it. It is an older establishment but was quite comfortable. If you are limber enough you may get a room like ours on the upper floor. Elevator is small and takes a bit of time to get. Dinner was in the hotel's dining room - Bianconi Restaurant. After dinner we were treated to an Irish Coffee demo. That was informative and delicious. I had hesitated to get one when they were being made but caved when I tasted SO's. Centrally located, historic quaint. Enjoy while in Waterford.

The servers studiously avoid making eye contact to see if you want anything else. We were out all day except from about 2:30-4:30 and left the service sign on our room the whole time we were out -- it was never serviced. Ok but for this price you should demand better. This is essentially a three star hotel.

And, wow!... the breakfasts are outstanding, and so beautifully presented. But what made this place truly special are the kind and caring people who worked there. We really enjoyed getting to know them, and their stories. Our favorite places for dinner and within walking distance were: Rive Gauche, Rinoccini, Zuni, and Petronelli. Enjoyed a private walking tour by Pat Moylan, Kilkenny Walking Tour that the Butler house lined up for us. Pat is truly passionate about the history of Kilkenny, and we learned so much! And, Waterford was a quick day trip by train. Highly recommend the walking tour by Jack Burtchaell (meet at the Granville Hotel).

It's very close to everything so that means everything is in walking distance. They have complementary parking on site that they don't charge you for. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean.
