Hotel Kinnitty Castle Hotel

Kinnitty Village, Kinnitty, Ireland –

Lock in a great price for Kinnitty Castle Hotel – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Amazing hotel. Stayed in the Lt Murphy suite and the room was absolutely stunning. The area around the castle was beautiful and the food was delicious.

Daniel, United States of America

The reception staff was delightful, the meals delicious, the courtyard spacious and inviting. What a joy. I would recommend Kinnitty Castle to anyone traveling just south of Dublin. Beautiful walks! Birr was a great couple hour or full day stop nearby.

Mary, United States of America

This is a beautiful castle hotel. The grounds are stunning. Be sure to take a walk and find the amazing carved trees. The breakfast was made to order, including a full Irish or smoked salmon and bagels. Be sure to enjoy the homemade jams. The beds were so comfortable, we slept later than we wanted. The bathroom has a huge lounging tub! My husband said the bartender was the most friendly yet, and that is quite a complement. I think all Irish bartenders are required to be the most friendly person in tiwn!

Kathysu, United States of America

The castle is so beautiful and our room was amazing! His was our honeymoon and it was beyond perfect. Also horseback riding is a must!

Jessica, United States of America

I absolutely loved Kinnitty It is an intimate castle Only 37 rooms So at no point do you feel over crowded. Very friendly staff Informative Extremely cool property Very old Druid circle Thatched roof servant building High cross A hiking trail behind Opportunity to do archery or horseback Loved every minute Slightly spooked from the creaks around the place since it is possibly haunted :)). Don’t miss a tour of Leap castle 10 minute drive away for a very haunted experience!

Holly, Canada

Charming, not over-done, castle experience. Grounds are lovely, staff was gracious and breakfast was delicious.

Shaunessy, United States of America

We had a great, intimate Trad concert down in the Dungeon Bar.

Salt, United States of America

This is a wonderful experience. Set near the Slieve Bloom mountains and such an amazing property.

Hazballa, Ireland

This castle is gorgeous and the grounds and surrounding landscape are breathtaking. I only wish we could have stayed longer! The staff was above and beyond. We had the best time here. The food was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed lounging in the upstairs bar next to the fireplace while we had drinks and dinner. We particularly enjoyed the late night bar in the dungeon. There was live music by a very talented singer/guitarist named Darra. John, our bartender was super friendly and we had a wonderful time chatting with him. He gave us loads of information about sights and things to do while in Ireland. The room was very spacious and the bed was super comfy. We had an incredible view of the grounds and mountains from the windows. I really enjoyed the clawfoot bathtub!

Really enjoyed our stay there..eating in the Dungeon was an experience...We stayed in the Hutchinson Suite loved the open plan room...if I was to criticise 1 thing it would be the bed..did not find it comfortable alittle on the firm side..when we book a Suite we really look for comfort especially in the bed...the windows in that room are stuck with paint and need to be able to open them....other then that we loved it...those 2 things might stop us going back...but I'm sure you will fix this issue....

We were the farthest room from the castle (2 staircases and 3 long hallways) but the room was worth it.

The castle itself needs a bit of TLC. There was also a terrible smell that greeted us when we arrived at reception. It’s very off putting The floors are very creaky. My husband and I as well as My sister and partner was woken by people going back to the room at 5am. The hotel did not do anything about this or offer an discount My sister answer partner had to move rooms also as there was a screaming child next to their room The walls are very thin and again the hotel just said yes we often get complaints but didn't do anything as a gesture of good will
The location is great and the walks around the castle are very nice. The castle itself is very pretty and has charm

The keys for our room were a little difficult to use. Beware of all the stairs. The hair dryer was next to useless. It produced little heat.

Finding everything was at the beginning a bit confusing, but you could always ask.
The rooms, the castle, the surroundings are really beautiful and authentic. The food at the dungeon bar was good and we really enjoyed the live music. There are nice walking paths behind the castle that are easy to find. The rooms are cosy and have everything you need. At breakfast you can get everything you wish for.
