Staying at Ballyseede was one of the highlights of our Ireland trip. The rooms and property were beautiful and the staff was wonderful! Extra added bonus was their 2 adorable Irish Wolfhounds who you would find in different areas around the castle. Would highly recommend!

Amazing stay! The staff are very attentive and the animals at the property add a very nice touch. You can tell that the owners truly care. We did have one issue, which was that we were served gluten by mistake, but the staff handled it very professionally. Overall, I would highly recommend and we will come back!
My aunt Janice and I loved our stay at Ballyseede! The staff were fantastic and the puppies too. Our room was beautiful, and very comfortable. Our breakfast was amazing. So delicious! We loved walking the grounds. Wish we could have stayed longer!
