I attended a wedding in Killeen castle in August and was wowed by this fabulous location for the event. It is apparently new to the wedding event area but I really highly recommend it. The wedding was held outdoors in a beautiful garden and we were blessed with good weather. The wedding breakfast and drinks reception were in adjoining rooms in the main golf club building and had a backdrop of beautiful scenery over the golf course and estate. The service by staff was outstanding. There were a host of young people hired for the summer and they were warm, friendly and attentive to every need. Nothing was too much trouble! The food was excellent and delicious. We stayed in the beautiful apartments on the estate. They are really tastefully decorated, generous proportions and had a very comfortable lounge/ kitchen adjacent to the room. The estate is very close to Dublin but is very much a rural setting. I give this venue 10/10. Well done to all who made our stay there such a positive experience.

Had a brief but wonderful stay here last week. Everything brand new, modern, sleek and comfortable. Rooms spotlessly clean, (good pillows!), staff were so friendly, breakfast delicious. I couldn't fault it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone, not just those playing golf.
One point to note, our stay wasn't in the castle itself, rather in purpose built accommodation; all rooms have access to a small but functional communal kitchen and sitting room. Access to the main building (again, not the castle) for breakfast is through a beautiful walled garden.
it was also ridiculously reasonably priced.
Highly recommended.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
The accommodation was new, the quality of the finishes were excellent and the check-in process was seamless. The accommodation is a short walk from the main reception, but the walk takes you through a lovely walled garden. The reception, bar/restaurant was well presented with some very well dressed and attentive staff working there. The food was very well presented and tasted great. The views were amazing and the walks in the ground were great. I would well recommend it.

My sister and brother in law were over in the UK from Australia for 6 weeks. My husband and I arranged to go to Ireland with them for 4 days. I booked us into 2 Deluxe Guestrooms as I wanted to splash out on a bit of luxury accommodation for us as we were only staying at Killeen Castle for 1 night. I made my booking through Hotels.com about 7 months before the trip. On arrival, the grounds were beautiful and we saw the lodges as we drove past, excited for our stay, however things did not get off to a good start. Upon check in, I thought that both myself and my sister were handed keys to our guestrooms but on arrival at the lodges, realised that only I had been given a key to my room. We drove back down to reception and explained that my sister and her husband were not given a key. After some checking, I was then handed a key for her room and we drove back to the lodges. After hauling my sisters luggage up to her room, it turned out to be a tiny classic guest room they had allocated her, which was definitely not what had been booked. Once again, we drove back to reception and explained that she had been given the wrong room type. The receptionist then said that I had booked through Expedia, which I hadn’t and I had to show him my booking for 2 deluxe guestrooms booked on Hotels.com. I was then informed that there were no deluxe rooms available, which by this point was not what I wanted to hear. He said the best he could do would be the room type just below deluxe, which my sister said she would take. Her room was nice but it wasn’t what I originally booked and just caused a lot of upheaval to what should have been a really nice stay. Everything else was lovely and the rooms were immaculately clean. Breakfast in the morning was really good as well but we didn’t get the accommodation we paid for and that left me feeling let down and annoyed. There was obviously some sort of mix up with the booking system, but I thought they would have offered me some sort of recompense after all the carry on during check in but nothing was mentioned. I’ll chalk that up to a learning experience and as a result I don’t think I would book this hotel again.

Your feedback regarding the lack of recompense is important, and we’ll ensure it’s addressed to improve how we handle similar situations in the future.

My family loved our stay in the lodges at Kileen Castle. The rooms were spacious, immaculate, and had comfy beds. The shared common space/kitchen was also quite useful. The grounds are lovely and fun to explore. Breakfast was first rate! We were already happy and quite full from with the continental options (including house-baked scones and smoked salmon) when we found out that we could also order a hot item (I highly recommend the porridge or the avocado toast). The breakfast area also provides a nice view of the golf course and the surrounding area. Two small detractors were the lack of shelves/hooks in the rooms and the fact that the hot water tank turns off after 11pm. All in all, a peaceful hotel where you can soak in the Irish countryside.

Ideal for to stay near Dublin and have the delights of the city at your doorstep but the serenity of Killen Castle available to you after your visit. The rooms were of a high quality, staff very friendly and the food in the Kiln restaurant was of a very good standard. Bed, linen and pillows all very comfortable.
Beautiful walks, great golf and practice areas - looking forward to going back.

What a wonderful find. Everything is amazing. High quality lodge style accommodation with every detail well thought out. Beds were so comfortable and most sleep 3 people which is handy. As well as your room there is also access to a communal living area and kitchenette in each lodge. Kitchenette has coffee maker etc. Beautiful walled garden and 6km walk. Fish and chips or Thai Red Curry a must try. The food was delicious. Staff are all so friendly. Suitable for all. If you are especially looking for a family get away it's a good option where everyone could be together. Worth a try, you will not be disappointed. Forgot to mention the Golf course! Castle is currently being refurbished.

Our room was absolutely fabulous with the most comfortable bed and beautiful bedding. The bathroom had a gorgeous rainforest shower and fluffiest towels. The kitchen/dining/sitting room was such a surprise and we enjoyed it immensely. We ate and drank in the Kiln Restaurant and enjoyed every dish. The grounds were also delightful. The staff were so friendly that we have no hesitation in recommending Killeen Castle and will definitely be back.
