again staff friendly and chatty. If you have trouble with stairs, they have floor rooms with beautiful courtyard entrance. The library bar was nice and was busy on the Saturday due to the match being on. What a hidden treasure The staff and amenities were awesome! The receptionist kindly provided a jug of ice water upon request to take to our room upon retiring. Stayed friday 6th January Had a brillent night . There were lots of stairs to get there, but my party all handled them easily. Outside on the left-hand of the entrance the Christmas trees were just dumped, considering they have open fires- it just seem like a waste! Good food. The room was immense, the tub/shower roomy, the water hot. The tables were dirty and wet in places and no serviettes and we had to ask for them. Afternoon Tea is served in The Drawing Room from 12noon to 4pm daily. A bit small but still they were okay. Locals are very friendly & the craic is mighty.

They have two urns at the entrance both could look much better after being power hosed and have a few flowers added. interesting place,staff very friendly and helpful and the location was lovely. Heard about lidl breaks from my sister. Also the dungeon bar area is pretty good too when you want a drink. First lets get the bad out of the way. It was fun to stay in a castle. The building in general could do with a deep clean, the windows in the Butler Suite are filthy. Absolutely outstanding! We enjoyed our stay very much. The wall was damp, the paint was falling off the ceilings, the radiator leaked, we had to get a heater in to the room to heat it up. The Sl Dala Restaurant is open Friday to Saturday from 6.00pm until 9.00pm. enjoyed the stay tremendously and would go again. Castle is splendid.Food first class, we had 3 course meal from set menu for %u20AC35. The walking trails and views from them are breathtaking All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. We all slept well and enjoyed the included breakfast. A trip back in time, but with much comfort! But I would return. This place would have been bustling in the tiger era. It is difficult to give a fair rating as the staff are experiencing changes. Only complaint was you could here everything in the room above, even when they were talking you could hear word for word as if they were in our room with us. All rights reserved. You will be in credit with the wife for ages!!!! Staff very helpful & friendly. In the grounds behind the castle if you go for a walk there were some dilapidated buildings and the surrounds are not as manicured as other hotel grounds but that didn't in any way detract from our stay.

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Food excellent both restaurant and bar food. The room was fine and big, and I got to sleep in a four poster bed. - fantastic room with a huge boat shaped bed. We would definately return to Kinnity and have booked my parents into Kinnity in new year and am hoping that they enjoy experience as mush as we did. My wife and I arrived on Sunday 26th May'13. Lords breakfast was just ok. We were upgraded to a suite which was fantastic. Go to the nearby village for a drink in the 2 pubs the Slieve Bloom and the Giltrap ( my favourite ). I had originally booked two stays at the hotel but after the first visit I cancelled the other stay. Your contribution should be yours. It is in a beautiful location with beautiful grounds. Would like to see a bit of music and more atmosphere at night in the bars. Accommodation was beautiful, The food excellent. Our room was upgraded upon our arrival with no charge. Kinnitty Castle was absolutely amazing! But lidl breaks offer great value for money and will book another hotel stay soon. We did go on a drive called the Slieve Bloom Village Drive which doesn't really take you anywhere in particular, we just kept following the signs and in the end gave up and went a different way!! The staff were very friendly and efficient, the food was very good and the bed comfortable. rooms grand, food grand.

We may stop showing reviews once theyre 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership. The rooms are are fabulous with traditional furnishings. The bedroom needed a bit more than a good lick of paint as it had cracks along the ceiling etc. Very pleasant stay but just lacking attention to detail in basic housekeeping. A lovely romantic break we went last year with our two children aged 3 and 9 at the time we had a lovely room then with a giant four poster bed for us all the kids loved it , the food is great and this time there was 3 guys jamming in the libary bar untill 8pm then about 10pm there was traditional music in the Dungion bar so you can enjoy music or have a quiet drink and chat in the libary bar there is lovely walks and they have horses if you want to ride. We also went on the walking loop, we got a little lost because the signage isn't great but the scenery was well worth it. m4S!+ 'Tuc(OH_dCw4. staff were great and rooms were as you'd expect for the location, ancient. We were blessed with good weather and able to tour theDruidic altar and I was able to communicate with my dear depated Mother. Overall experience 7 out of 10.

After a really enjoyable walk along the river, on the castle grounds, we checked out but will most CERTAINLY be back! The castle is as you would expect it to be though the decor is a little tired and could do with a bit of a revamp, the staff and food was excellent. With a variety of excellently prepared dishes in our Sl Dala Restaurant, light refreshments and relaxing drinks in the Library Bar or Traditional Food, Irish Music and Drinks in the Dungeon Bar, Kinnitty Castle Hotel offers something for everyone.. We had a leisurely two course meal in the Sli Dala which was delicious and the staff were very good. Rooms were to cold to shower in that evening. Room needs some serious overhauling furniture and fixings . but that wouldn't put us off goin back. I think the place has so much potential but to live up to the 4 stars, would need to polish up a bit. We had just come from 3 nights at the Electric Picnic and this was a perfect place to chill out and relax after that! The staff were very helpful, and the service was very good. Very accommodating staff, beautiful grounds and castle. Breakfast near the window. we really enjoyed our stay. Barbara : Feb 2013- Stayed 1 nite, we were upgraded to the Secret Suite ( without asking ! ) We are into walking so this was a perfect base so some really lovely hikes. Breakfast wasn't that great for me but we did leave it 'til the deadline time to go down. Error: an experience I will try again. I would not pay full price for what we did recieve and I probably would have complained if I had have been paying full whack! The rooms in the castle are amazing it is like going back in time 5 stars excellent thank you. It wouldnt take much to clean the areas up so as not to give a negative impression. Excellent nights stay food was lovely, you could wonder around, very informal, breakfast lovely. Furniture in bar also shabby. The Starter was fine, as was the dessert, but the main course which while tasty was , just plain chicken and chips.I had made a note on my booking, which i think was over looked, which was a pity. The medieval atmosphere, the exquisite food and drink, spacious and comfortable cosy bedroom and most importantly the friendly and accommodating staff all added to a memorable and unique experience. Got out and checked one of the signs along the road and realized I was headed in the right direction. Room was smallish but it was what you would expect, had everything you needed. Wonderful setting and staff..couldn't fault it. Whilst the courtyard was very picturesque the front of the castle looked grim at best and when you looked around you could see that several windows were boarded up etc. Thanks!

LOVED IT. But you had to be up early to get a choice of bread with your breakfast. If you love hiking and doing trails then there is plenty to do in the local area and even on the grounds of the Castle. We got breakfast in our suite next morning which was also very good. However instead of an evening meal in the dining room there was only a buffet dinner in the monks kitchen. I would return again as it was great value and a really nice experience. We stayed for one night in May '10. We could not regulate the radiator in the bathroom. Rooms were not quite what I expected. (NO TELLY). The bathtubs are over the top.

We recently stayed at Kinnitty for one night and found the castle to be full of character and charm both inside and out. Now its the bargain basement. The stay was amazing and the food was plentiful. The room was spacious and bathroom was very large, as well. The only thing I would say is that there is no sound proofing at all, sounds as if the people in the next room were in the same room as you. Review by Lorraine. Hotel was ok . 35 Ferndale Court,Rathmichael, Co. Dublin, Ireland. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. had a great say at kinnitty with my family. The castle is beautiful, the food was georgous with plentu of varity. The food was lovely - we ate at both the dungeon bar and the dining room (dinner & breakfast). The food in the bar wasn't great. The restaurant starter portions were quite small and it was only when we went to order that we were told that one of the dishes and our wine selection wasn't available - would have be nice to be told this when we were seated. (No TV's in rooms). The whole atmosphere was fantastic, the rooms really good standard and the staff friendly and helpful. We really felt like we were staying in a castle with abundant history and not just an ordinary hotel. Stayed in Kinnitty Castle on Paddy's weekend. Overall a memorable experience, one to be repeated. Loved the quirkiness of the castle. We had a lovely one year anniversary stay for two nights here. Each member of staff could not have been nicer. If you booked through us and want to leave a review, please sign in first. fabulous dinner and cooked breakfast. Again, the fact that one of the major selling points would be unavailable for our use should have been disclosed before the booking was made. wud recommend this 2 any1.

PERFECT FOR A ROMANTIC BREAK. Our room.Geraldine ! Hi Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful interior. When we turned on the radiators only the bathroom one worked and the bedroom one did not. Some extra cleaning would bump them up to 5 stars from me. Overall appearance of the hotel needs refurbishment. The staff were very helpful, the 'bar food' was fantastic, I cannot say enough about it. Horse riding trails. Kinnitty Castle Hotel can cater for guests who prefer private dining, offering rooms from small groups of six to large groups of 200 in the Great Hall of the OCarrolls. there was a traditional music session in the dungeon bar by a local talented family group of 4 sisters who were just great! Which is why I would be horrified if I had paid the full 169 Euro per night as is the norm price. We had awesome conversations with staff and had the chance to head traditional music! the room was cold on arrival due to the window being open(JAN 2013) and never completely warmed up.the bath water ran cool but the shower was good. Ideal if you want to escape from the hussle and bussle that everyday life presents. The bed was very large but matraze was very hard. Shower faucet would not turn hot enough. Over all the deal was great value for money its just a pity they kept shoving it in your face.

Arrived in Kinnity and decided to go for something to eat in the village first but there was nowhere to go to eat so had lunch in the castle itself.

But all in all we had a great time, it is a lovely hotel, brilliant value and we will certainly reccommed it. We changed rooms and the radiator in this one worked.

The staff were lovely and the food great. Finally, if you found this guide helpful, we would be grateful if you mention us when making a reservation. Not really a complaint. We had a wonderful short break in Kinnitty Castle June 2012. One thing I would suggest would be bigger TV's in the rooms.

The tub is a little hard to get in and out of for short and older people. We are delighted to now include many fine restaurants from around the country on our website. Minor point was description of dinner menu was slighly inaccurate in terms of suaces and trimmings. As well as our dedicated team, we offer the award winning Moposa Wedding Service.

But apart from that it was well worth the money. The rooms were quaint and quirky, with so many nooks and interesting features. The food was excellent both in the bar and the restaurant. However, the grounds were lovely. only one drawback, there was a set menu for Lidl guests and I felt the selection was very poor, food was excellent but not enough of a choice. I had treated the other people to the stay and the castle as a present but we were continusly referred to as the Lidl deal.
