Most hotels offer shower only rooms after remodeling. Breakfast in the hotel was amazing; included fresh fruits and juices, the traditional Irish entrees or you could opt for pancakes. Every meal includes potatoes; good potatoes. Something special about this hotel is the lavender balm. I meant to request more before I left. You rub this on your wrists or neck before bed and it is supposed to relax you and promote better sleep. It smells so good.

I asked him are there any decent people left in Ireland and I was given a snigger as a reply. I'm quite disappointed that I was treated like this customer service and a small budget compassion needs to be addressed by Management. I am in the hospitality business myself and if any of my staff treat any customer with such coldness and lack of concern, I would be deeply upset. the first that people see on arrival and departure and I really feel that this gentleman has left down my overall experience shall I say is not the best.

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!

Thanks again for the hospitality! Cheers

Have never stayed here because their prices for mid-week stays are too high for me and their competition (NAMA or not) offer better value for the business traveller. Front desk receptionist had a bit of an attitude when I asked her for a ticket when I misplaced mine which left a bad taste in my mouth. Point to note, when you come off the motorway the hotel is on the right but you cannot cross the road here, you need to go to the next roundabout and come back on the opposite side. Meh. On a plus, their restaurant seems to have 2 Rosettes from the AA so mustn't be too bad. Maybe the next time if the receptionist smiles we could try it....

Saw a few things that could have been cleaned up a bit more before us getting checked into the room but it wouldn't stop us from going. We did the bed and breakfast- their breakfast was delicious. It had transitional Irish breakfast items (rashers, sausages, eggs, etc.) but I don't get meat so I went for the toast, egg, fruit, and a small bowl of Weetabix (my fav!). We would definitely consider staying here again.

It's spring now and sheep have just had their lambs. You'd see 1 sheep with a baby hanging out. We saw magpies (birds). There is a stream in front of the house. The home is very clean and Zell greeted us warmly. The room we had was large (#5) and had a large bed with 2 twins. The shower was great. There was a hot water pot with tea and coffee. The internet, because of their location, works only downstairs in the main room. There was a black wood burning stove roaring and a nice view out the windows where we would eat breakfast. Liam talked to us a bit I. The evening. Breakfast was Irish with the sausage and black and white pudding. I don't care for it.

The heatwave we were experiencing made it feel like the Mediterranean. After the reception room closed, we made our way to the hotel bar. Greeted by a very affable bartender, he was able to give a history of a few of the pelts and stuffed animals displayed in the room. He was a good laugh too. It's only fabulous, Castle Durrow.

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.

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).
