Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the aesthetic. I was quite surprised our bed was in the form of a boat. It was a bit strange. Overall the accommodations were nice and clean

This was a great place to stay. It is located just beside the Birr Castle Estate on a nice quiet street. The hosts were warm and welcoming. They gave us tips on where to eat and places to see. The accomodation was comfortable with outdoor seating in the garden. I would highly reccomend it for a lovely place to stay in Birr.

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!
Breakfast was amazing, with all the options one could ask for, including fresh fruit, cereals and pastries as well as a hot, Full Irish breakfast. The room, located off the courtyard, was immense. Although not in the main building, these rooms are over the site of the ancient monastery that was once here and incorporate some of the original walls. The site is beautiful, with forest walks and even a stone circle behind the castle. The room was immense, the tub/shower roomy, the water hot.
Fabulous accomodation. Beautiful setting with wonderful walks, cycle paths and fairy paths. A hikers dream. The castle is beautiful, warm and comfortable. Friendly and efficient staff. Wonderful food and a delicious breakfast. Thank you Des for your warm welcome and brilliant service. Sorry about the 5 in a row!!. Kinnitty Castle is a true hidden gem and we cannot wait for our next visit soon.
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!
Lovely place all around. The hotel itself was great in and of itself, but the surrounding grounds were worth exploring as well. Staff was amazingly friendly and efficient. The Dungeon Bar was a great place to have a drink or dinner, or both. Well worth visiting.
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! 👑
We liked everything the staff where the friendliest I have ever meet in a hotel, the food was amazing and the magic of castle it was so comfortable warm and inviting such an amazing relaxing weekend we can’t wait to go back.
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.
It was fun to stay in a castle. The breakfast room, Lounge and Dungeon Bar were nice areas. We enjoyed the live music in the bar and had a great horse trek with Rachel, who was fabulous!
