The best hotel we've ever stayed at, we were looking forward to visiting another hotel on our itinerary, but this one absolutely blew us away, other hotels we stayed at, were really nice, but Ballyseede Castle was better than all of them.

We visited all of Ireland for two weeks and stayed here for three nights. Out of our entire trip, it was our favorite place to stay. It’s in a great location for what we wanted to see and the staff was amazing.

This castle hotel was absolutely beautiful. It was warm and inviting. All the staff was amazing and went out of their way to help. The friendly castle dogs were such a wonderful surprise addition to our stay. All the food, from breakfast, tea to dinner was excellent.
