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!
Moved out and left a pair of shoes in the closet. I contacted the property a day after but they are unresponsive. A bit of a disappointment.
Of the 30 acres little but around the buildings is usable to guests and having been in the hospitality industry I found the grounds around the parking were unkept and views of dumped flowers of past weddings, tarps and equipment in woods immediate to parking.
Though exquisite in public space, no art in the room. Rooms lacking in furnishings and poor lighting design.
Don’t mean to discourage travelers who wish the experience of staying in the Ballyseede but found it to be more of a high end and refined event location.
The staff and services were excellent and while staying attentive and responsive.
Got to check off staying in a castle! Rooms were spacious, clean and had everything you would need to enjoy your stay! Loved it! Breakfast was great and convenient and we enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant on site.
The property is absolutely amazing. Joe and Molly the Irish Wolfhounds are AMAZING!! Charlie Cooper and Hope are super cute as well! The atmosphere was wonderful and everyone there was so kind and welcoming. 10 out of 10 recommend and we will definitely be returning there in the future!!
Ballyseede Castle was so fun to stay at. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They even let our 7 year old feed the pony's and donkey's onsite. She loved it! Our rooms were unique and adorable. Would stay here again and recommend it to others!
Did not expect a wedding to be taking place on the day we arrived (a Thursday). Couldn’t enjoy the lovely grounds amongst all the wedding guests. Would ask next time.
