We were at a wedding a couple of weeks back and ballyseede is awesome. The food was very high end and the professionalism of the staff was noted by everyone. Don't be worried about the modestly sized dance floor - it meant that there was great energy on the dance floor all night long, and much better than a dance... More

Not really like being The Lord of the Manor but more like being a favored guest of The Lord of the Manor. Common areas have been furnished with fabulous antiques which it makes it easy for you to transport yourself back in time. We felt like we were in a different era. The room (Cayce) was also brought a vision... More

Staying at Ballysede affords the privelige of being Lord of the Manor without having to pay a King's ransome. The grounds are delighful and greeting by Mr Higgins (a huge hound) is an interesting start to one's stay (although it may not be to everyone's liking). Our room was very pleasant and the Castle is set in a very quiet... More

My family of four stayed at Ballyseede Castle for one night. We were in the Crosby room - a huge room on the top floor of the main building with big windows and a nice bathroom. Unfortunately we arrived late in the afternoon and it was raining so we didn't have a chance to enjoy the beautiful grounds. We spent... More

I was only able to spend one night at Ballyseede Castle recently but loved it. To the beautiful decor to the warmness of the staff to the adorable animals on premises, this was my favorite place to stay. I can't wait to go back. My room was lovely and the view was beautiful of the lovely Shetland ponies and mules... More

Our group was booked into Ballyseede Castle for a one night stay, but our busy schedule that day meant that we would be late arriving. Even though we actually arrived after midnight we were graciously received and directed to our rooms by pleasant staff who were still on hand to welcome us. Breakfast next morning was just as we expected,... More

My boyfriend and I took a 10 day self drive tour around Ireland with 5 nights booked in castles. The day before we flew out, Ballyseede castle cancelled our reservation. In essence kicked us out of our reserved room to book an entire wedding party. We were left with nowhere to stay for that night. Luckily, we found another accomodation... More

I stay at this lovely castle on the 26th May 2013 for my friends wedding. They held the wedding reception here and I was lucky enough to stay over night at this hotel. The room was spotless and clean with great furniture and decoration. The wedding reception there was out of this world. Do consider this hotel as a great... More

There are other more expensive so-called castle hotels, but if you want charm and a real Irish welcome, Ballyseede is hard to beat! We stayed at the hotel for a friend's wedding over the weekend and the whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. The function room had a lovely feel- not big and characterless as soon rooms are.... More
