We had a delightful stay - the house, room, dinner, breakfast, grounds and service were all amazing. One of the rare properties that has exceeded our expectations/didn't disappoint - it all was better in real life than its photos and reviews.

Just stunning!! 2 couples stayed here and LOVED Ballyseede Castle!! Everything was super clean, beautiful and staff were all top notch! We felt like a King and Queen when entering our huge, amazing room. Beds & pillows were comfy. Bathroom was amazing! Especially want to recognize Esther, Stella and Doreen who all provided excellent service along with witty senses of humor. Esther had a suggestions on places to visit. They made our stay fun! We enjoyed a delicious 5 course meal in the beautiful dining room. Breakfast (included) was delicious too. Highly recommend staying here!

What a magical experience!! The castle is so beautiful. Everyone that we had interaction with was top notch. True Irish hospitality at its finest. The ladies at reception where so helpful, with any questions. Our wait staff from breakfast, high tea, dinner and bars were quick, smiling,joking and truly cared about our enjoyment. Our favorites were Doreen and Joe. (Waitress & Waiter/Host) What lovely people. Always smiling and quick witted. The resident dogs add a true touch of home, Dolan ( Irish Wolfhound) was our favorite. We are already planning a return trip to Ireland and will be staying at Ballyseede Castle again!!!!

Doreen could not have made the afternoon tea experience at Ballyseede Castle more special. We received the royal treatment. The treats were delicious. The historic castle and grounds are stunning and should not be missed. My sister was so moved that she cried. I hope we can visit again. Thank you, Doreen, and thank you to Ballyseede Castle.

My wife and I attended a wedding at Ballyseede Castle at the beginning of November. I was a groomsman. Everything about the day was incredible, from the moment the bridal party arrived, the team worked tirelessly to ensure the day went smoothly for the bride and groom. I must mention Esther personally as she went above and beyond for the entire bridal party and guests to ensure a perfect and seamless day and even day after. Thank you to everyone at Ballyseede for an unforgettable weekend!
