Although not really a castle (it is more of a country manor), the exterior certainly has the castle look and feel. Our room was very spacious, although the furnishing were a little more run-down than we expected. The public rooms are very beautiful and elaborate however. We did not try the restaurant for dinner as it was quite expensive. What... More

My husband & were on our 1st visit to Ireland & wanted a caste stay of at least 1 night; we chose Ballyseede because of its location as we were traveling around the country with no real timeline. We were looking forward to a seafood dinner (which the hotel restaurant did not offer) so we asked a waiter where we... More

We loved our stay at Ballyseede Castle. We were there on our honeymoon and it was a really unique hotel with fantastic staff! We would definitely return there when we come back to Ireland next time. It's close to Dingle and other attractions so it's a great location to operate from!

Went to Ballyseede Castle Hotel with my parents for a relaxing overnight stay on Sunday, 6 May 2012. From the moment you go through the gates to the Castle you are transported to a different place. The hotel's surrounding gardens and beautiful landscape make you feel relaxed and you get that wonderful feeling that you can totally chill out. We... More

Let me start by saying: I love castles! When my wife, friends and I took our trip to Ireland, my #1 priority was to see as many castles as possible. When we found out you could stay in a castle – well, that was too good to be true. But then we saw the prices. Gulp. This was going to... More

Ballyseede Castle Hotel exceeded my expectations, which were high. The service, ambience, cuisine were excellent. The extra "mile" the staff went to ensure we had a good 3-day stay was fantastic. Our server at breakfast gave us tips where to visit on our Dingle Peninsular trip, another advised us on what to visit in Killarney, another on a drive through... More

We thought the castle and it's grounds were beautiful! Loved the ponies on the front lawn! We had a large, gorgeous room --- with a claw footed tub and a shower as part of a beautiful bathroom. We enjoyed the dinner, but the breakfast is wonderful! The breakfast room is lovely as is all the special sitting rooms. The bar... More

The castle was beautiful however our room was very small with a double bed, so we did not have much room. We also found the location abit remote with not much to do unless we went out and drove. The bar was delightful as were the living rooms. The food was out of this world and the staff very pleasant... More

As part of our 15 day Irish adventure, my mother-in-law said that she really wanted to stay in a castle so this two night stay was to meet that desire. I think by all accounts, she was very happy with Ballyseede Castle. We were in the Moore Room, which ironically is my paternal grandma's family name. (Thankfully we were not... More

My friend and I stayed one night in Ballyseede Castle in early April. What a delightful find. The staff were welcoming and friendly and even carried our heavy bags up the stairs to our room. The room was huge and we felt like royalty. We chose to eat in the bar and the food was lovely. Tim gave us a... More
