Beautiful, romantic, relaxing!

Absolutely amazing! Romantic, magical, and well suited for a lovely getaway with friends or a partner. The grounds were lovely to walk after breakfast, and in the evening before bed. The restaurant was delicious and staff was above and beyond helpful and kind. The bedding and rooms were lovely and comfortable. I slept so well there! The friendly pups that made you feel at home, were the highlight of our trip and stay. We thank the caretakers and owners for their amazing attention to detail. We can't wait to come back!

Princess for a night

During my solo road trip around Ireland, I decided to stay at Ballyseede Castle for a night since when else will I have an opportunity to spend an evening in a castle! The grounds were absolutely gorgeous, and the room was so luxurious. The shower was divine, and the toiletries provided left my hair feeling like I'd just come from the salon. I had dinner in Pappy's Bar and ate one of the most delicious steak and ale pies I've ever had, just the perfect portion size! While the location is a little off the beaten path, it is well worth the trip!!!

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!
