This was our second castle stay, and this met our expectations of what staying in a castle would be. Upon arrival, we got escorted to the reception desk by Mr. Higgins and Einstein, the hotel mascots. Our intention was to check in and then head into town for some dinner. When we arrived, we decided to get food in the... More

Granted we have another few stops, this undoubtedly our best stay so far, and is likely to be for the whole trip. The hotel is beautiful, the staff goes the extra mile in every way, the food is very good... A+ all around. The first night, my wife was a bit ill and left dinner early. We were offered room... More

Ballyseed was our 3rd night in Ireland. It was an ok experience. Our room was on the lower floor and there was a musty smell. The room was clean and the furniture was nice. The bathroom was a large size but no bathtub. The web page is really good at not providing bathroom details or descriptions. This was the only... More

We stayed two nights at Ballyseede Castle at the end of April 2013. It was very neat to be able to stay in a real castle on our trip to Ireland. Our room was huge and the bed was SO comfortable. It was worth the money. We did not eat at the castle - it was a little too "stuffy"... More

Ballyseede is an enchanted castle. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Dinner in the dining room was exceptionally good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel for a truly memorable experience in Tralee.

We stayed here just for one night (unfortunately), and it was one of the best hotels we've every visited. Everything about it was top-shelf, starting with the beautiful grounds, the lovely staff, the gorgeous decor and the sumptuous room. We arranged for dinner at the hotel (reservations required), which we don't usually do, and we were very happy we did,... More

I loved this place!!! From the massive dog to fabulous staff and gorgeous food. I loved the four poster bed. I felt like a princess. A very special place to stay. The only problem I had was that we didn't stay long enough.

We decided to try Ballyseede because our friends really wanted to stay at a castle during our trip to Ireland. We were pleasantly surprised that we found same charm as other castles but none of the dampness we expected had experienced in places we have stayed. And it even had its own resident ghost. The staff was wonderful. They were... More

Stayed here for a wedding on the 25th - 26th. The place is in a fantastic location with beautiful gardens and a gorgeous stone gazebo. When we arrived, we were welcomed by 2 dogs, they are the most friendly dogs I have ever met and we wanted to take them home. The interior of the hotel is beautiful with a... More
