Kilronan Castle Hotel & Spa

We were very pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It’s loaded with Irish heritage and artwork. You really do feel as though you are staying in a castle. The food at dinner (we ate in the casual dining restaurant) was really good. We loved the dungeon bar. Have a yellow spot whiskey and enjoy this incredible place.

We stayed in Kilronan last August and meant to review it much sooner. My husband and I booked in for a two night gourmet getaway and it was the last word. We are still talking about it. From the moment we stepped into the hotel we were completely relaxed. The evening meals were incredible and the staff are so attentive and lovely to chat to. We felt spoilt rotten and it was a real recharge for us both. We loved the pool and spa area and it was never too busy. All in all we cannot recommend it enough and cannot wait to try and make it again thus Summer. Well done to all the staff 👏

We stayed here for our anniversary. It was one of the best weekends away w have ever had. The staff are so friendly and warm. So professional. Every area is spotlessly clean and very noticeable.We used the spa and had a treatment, again the staff were amazing and so helpful. Especially Anna and Sinead . I would highly recommend . We had a little gift of chocolates as It was our anniversary. Their attention to detail is second to none and we can’t wait to return.

We chose Kilronan Castle for a relaxing break and to explore it as a potential wedding venue. Sadly, the experience was deeply disappointing from start to finish. On arrival, we found someone else’s underwear and hair accessories in our room—along with hair all over the bed. The room had clearly not been cleaned properly, which was shocking for a hotel claiming to be a luxury destination. To make matters worse, we were woken abruptly by a loud alarm with no explanation or apology. Breakfast was no better—reheated, watery eggs that arrived suspiciously fast, confirming they weren’t freshly made. Basic quality control seemed to be completely lacking. When we addressed these issues, there was no real concern. We were moved rooms but received no apology or effort to make amends. At checkout, we asked to speak to the manager (Mohamed), who was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. He told us we’d been given an upgrade—as if that excused the unhygienic conditions. He eventually deducted a bottle of wine from our bill, but only after pushing. The biggest disappointment? We had genuinely been considering Kilronan Castle as our wedding venue. The wedding coordinator was professional and kind, but the overall experience destroyed any trust we had in the hotel. When we mentioned this to the manager, he shrugged—it couldn’t have mattered less to him. We left feeling let down, frustrated, and completely unimpressed. We absolutely will not be returning, and we cannot in good faith recommend this hotel to anyone.

Having booked 3 rooms for a surprise night away and stayed there before I was less than content this time. Firstly I agree with a lot on walking to the pool or rooms through a restaurant isn't ideal. Simple bamboo shades would work without spoiling the area. Anyway on arrival only 2 of the rooms were ready. No biggy so we went to pool and it wasn't clean 4* I think not. I had to tell pool attendant that sauna and Jacuzzi had under 10 years olds in it . No Douglas Hyde restaurant was unreal and how the full experience of a 4-star should be. Again the following morning fiasco queuing to front door for breakfast let the hotel down as did empty orange juice and Fry egg tray. Small complaints but it's not good enough for 4 star imo. Now room comfortable tidy. Wall paper torn,door badly chipped,stains on carpet and one seat and reading lamps lose 🤷🏻‍♂️ again low standard of a 2 star motel not 4star hotel. I was disappointed The Douglas Hyde restaurant and location was the only 4star about the trip to be honest. Compared with my last stay it hasn't got better but slipped a lot.

My partner and I went to the spa for a massage treatment. The interior aesthetic was very impressive and really added to our experience. I got Aisling as my massage therapist. She was very professional and personable, and I really enjoyed my massage. Would highly rate!
