The estate boasts 140 bedrooms with several accommodation options. Each of the 11 Castle Bedrooms are uniquely designed and the Carriage Rooms are located within the courtyard of Kilkea Castle where guests can choose from interconnecting and wheelchair accessible rooms. All rooms feature HDTV, luxury bathroom amenities and free WiFi.

The property was incredibly beautiful and it felt incredible driving up onto the grounds and entering the castle. The staffing at the front desk was super helpful and got us breakfast early since we had a flight to catch the next morning. Really nice bathrooms and rooms inside of where we were staying and it felt very secluded which was great as well. My wife and I would like to fly back and visit again in April.

Guests can enjoy a meal at the on-site family-friendly restaurant, which serves Irish cuisine and also offers vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free options.

For guests with children, the villa provides a baby safety gate. Guests at The Stable Yard House at Burtown House & Gardens can enjoy cycling and walking tours nearby, or make the most of the garden.

One of the most breathtaking properties I have stayed at. The history, gardens and the villa itself is a very special experience. Stylish, comfortable, generous in its amenities. Wonderful restaurant on the grounds too. Truly magical.

Situated in Athy in the Kildare County region, Spacious and warm 2 bedroom apartment sleeps up to 5 features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is around 15 km from County Carlow Military Museum, 15 km from Carlow Town Hall and 15 km from Carlow Golf Club. The property is non-smoking and is located 5 km from Athy Heritage Centre-Museum.

The host family was extremely kind and helpful. We arrived very late and they left everything ready for us so that we could go to sleep at once when we reached the house. And they surprised us with fresh eggs from their own chicken (they were delicious).

A working dairy farm, the award-winning Ballindrum Farm sits amongst the lush countryside of Co. Kildare, offering bright rooms, beautiful views, and hearty farmhouse breakfasts. Guests can enjoy guided tours of the dairy farm, and Dublin is only an hour’s drive away.

Mary made us so welcome. We checked in and Mary made us tea. We were going to a wedding the following day and so there was no worries about checking out late. Mary was particularly kind, making sure my elderly mother had fresh milk for her tea in the room. A fantastic stay I would highly recommend.

A Georgian farmhouse in the Kildare countryside, Moate Lodge near Athy provides individually designed rooms and a full breakfast menu. This dog-friendly guest house is around 1 hour’s drive from Dublin and offers free parking and Wi-Fi.

The breakfast was exceptional. It was the first traditional Irish Breakfast I had since my arrival in Ireland two weeks ago. The host couple were very warm. We visited quite a bit.

    From the moment we checked in the staff were excellent. The added touches because it was a special occasion, were so so appreciated. Service was above and beyond. We will be back with our families next time.

    What an amazing place! We took some family members there on our tour of Ireland and they were blown away with Kilkea Castle. We marked all the hotels we stayed at '4 in a bed' style and Kilkea Castle came out on top! The breakfast was awesome. My wife left her boots in the room on our departure and they were return to our home in the UK the following week! I couldn't recommend Kilkea Castle highly enough.

    The staff were awesome. The greeter was dignified and had a presence befitting a castle. Very impressive! The grounds were great and nice for a walk. The breakfast was special with breath taking views from the second story. Once again the servers were awesome and accommodating, great fun! The rooms were just stunning, very large, huge bathroom. The bed was luxurious. The coffee makings were fabulous. The bar server was friendly and accommodating. Everything was unreal as this was our first stay on Castle grounds. I loved it!

    This castle is simply stunning. Every part of our stay was incredible. The breakfast was impeccable and the spa pools were well worth a visit. The bed was heavenly and the bathtub was large and luxurious. Even the grounds were fun to wander around and explore. Highly recommend this castle for a stay!

    It was a functional destination. We required a bed to stay in for our friends wedding in Kilkea Castle. We had our pet with us so a big plus is that North Lodge is pet friendly and close to the Castle.

    Beautiful place! Traveling with a toddler, the lodge with it's two separate rooms was ideal and very comfortable. The breakfast spread and menu was one of the best I had in a very long time.

    In fairness it has great potential it is cute and quirky, the kitchen through the wardrobe was hilarious 😂 the kids thought it was the best holiday home ever they would rate it 10/10, the games room is cool, plenty of space for a big family.
