Absolutely stunning hotel. The rooms were amazing. The ambiance 10/10. Everyone is super friendly. I travel a lot all over the world staying in very nice hotels. This one ranks top10 on my list. The hotel dogs (two Irish wolfhounds) were a nice touch to this countryside castle hotel.

The castle was amazing! The horses and donkeys love to be fed special treats and the dogs were adorable. Sleeping in the original castle was a fairytale dream come true. The staff was friendly and the 5 course meal was delicious. I highly recommend Ballyseede to everyone!

This was the best property! The room was gorgeous and the staff was amazing! If I came back to the area I would only stay here. It was worth every penny! Everyone should experience this place once. We had room 903 with the separate living area.

Loved the amazing decor and it truly felt like we were living in a castle for a day! Many historical pieces, beautiful rooms to relax in and explore, and we even played chess! One note- the upper floors are VERY stuffy and hot even on the cooler days, it would be nice to have a larger fan and/or something to help stay cool (the one in the room was very small)
