This hotel was amazing! It is not possible to say anything negative about Ballyseede Castle. The feeling you get walking in the door is the beginning to a fabulous stay, the decor matches the building to perfection, the staff treat each guest like royalty, the food in the restaurant could actually be served to royalty and likewise the breakfast-compliments to... more

I don't know what other people experienced that wrote the poor reviews, but as far as I'm concerned they just wanted someone to vent too. This Castle is wonderful! I am planning on returning to Ireland again JUST FOR THIS PLACE! The Castle only has 23 rooms which means you won't have a million people trapsing in and out and... more

Driving up to this castle was great! It is very elegant and mysterious with the dark grey stone structure and vines climbing up the front of the castle. We were warmly greeted and shown to our room. The main floor is decorated as if royalty still visited, with a sitting room, entrance (including fireplace), restaurant and wonderful little pub. Our... more

Ballyseede Castle was exactly what I wanted for my friend's birthday. The staff was very gracious and the dogs, Arthur and Einstein, were wonderful. The only drawback was the internet was only available in the downstairs lobby and you had to pay by the minute with a very slow connection. We had a wonderful dinner in the pub and breakfast... more

Nonetheless we were treated very warmly and greeted by a big friendly Irish Wolfhound named Arthur resting near the fireplace. Our rooms were large, clean, and well appointed with excellent toiletries, and luxurious feeling towels and bathrobes. The staff... more

The architecture is beautiful, the common room decor is charming, and with the right management this could be one of the best hotels in Ireland. However, the service and food were unimpressive, they play the same songs over-and-over in the bar and make it feel tired, the computer for checking email is... more

We had a wonderful stay at Ballyseede Castle. We stayed in the lower section of the castle and had a HUGE beautiful room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The dogs, Einstein and Arthur were an added bonus to the experience of staying at this beautiful castle. Einstein loves to play fetch with stones and will follow you all... more

Stayed at this hotel on 2 night DBB basis. From my conversation with Rory, by telephone, I was not expecting much in terms of hospitality. However, on our arrival we were very warmly welcomed by Tim who then served our enjoyable dinner. Sandra has got to be one of the nicest managers we have encountered, so helpful and accommodating.
