Really lovely place and the staff were lovely in general. Attend a wedding there and a super place for a special day. The food was amazing for the meal but for the snacks later that evening staff practically threw the plates on the table not what you would expect for such a lovely hotelZ Overall though a lively place and would definitely go back.

I loved our experience at Ballyseede Castle. Our room (in the West Wing) was massive and very comfy, with a beautiful view of the impressive gardens. We loved having coffee in one of the drawing rooms, and the included breakfast in the dining room. So many wonderful sitting areas and nooks to explore, and absolutely beautiful grounds. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. Would definitely recommend!

Staff were all friendly and professional. Nice breakfast. Beautiful grounds with a couple of big and friendly Irish hounds roaming around. Great trail walk in behind the grounds which we weren't aware of ahead of time. We really enjoyed it. Maybe it goes without saying, but just know that it's a quiet, historic visit, not a party. Unless you're booking a wedding and taking the place over. Would be perfect for that.

Had the most wonderful stay at Ballyseede castle. Felt totally relaxed with a lovely homely feel. Staff were so nice and food delicious. Lots of rooms to just hang out and enjoy some quiet time . Room was lovely and comfortable with great shower. Beautiful grounds for walking around and just enjoying the castle. Fantastic stay overall.

The room was amazing. Huge room with clawfoot tub and large walk in shower. No air conditioning so it was hot. They did provide a fan. It is a modernized castle. It would have been nice to see more castle details inside. Irish Wolfhounds were fun. Breakfast buffet was one of the best I had. Rachel, in reception, was amazing at providing Dingle recommendations.
