Unique, great atmosphere, staff great, good breakfasts, dinner super (5 course is very filling and well worth it, great value, don't fill up on bread!) IF you don't like dogs, now that there are 4 at least resident dogs. 2 are beautiful very large Irish wolfhounds. Extremely passive and sleep wherever they can but if you're scared of them, just be aware. All dogs keep our of your way, well behaved. We loved them! Joe and Doreen will ensure you're well looked after at breakfasts :) Thanks guys, you made us smile, a lot!

The best hotel we've ever stayed at, we were looking forward to visiting another hotel on our itinerary, but this one absolutely blew us away, other hotels we stayed at, were really nice, but Ballyseede Castle was better than all of them.

We visited all of Ireland for two weeks and stayed here for three nights. Out of our entire trip, it was our favorite place to stay. It’s in a great location for what we wanted to see and the staff was amazing.
