The newly renovated Abbey Court rooms are sparkling, lovely and incredibly quiet and peacefull. The one draw back is that there are quite a few small flights of steps all over the place. The dungeon bar has excellent food at reasonable prices. Breakfast is great. I did not try the library bar but the room is beautiful.. The building itself is spectatuclar.

The most amazing place we’ve stayed at while driving through Ireland. It’s a little off the beaten path, but truly such an amazing experience and I’m so glad we found this absolute treasure. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the rooms were gorgeous and clean. The room was spacious and included air conditioning. The castle grounds had walking paths that were magical all around. I wish we could have stayed multiple days, but I’m so grateful for our overnight.

The hotel itself is very good. However, the dining room service is terrible. This is the second time that we'e stayed at Kinnitty, and both times it took more than 45 minutes to get our meals. This is unacceptable--no meal should take more than 20 minutes to prepare. The first time we were there, three years ago, we were the first or second to place our order. This time there were many more people in the dining area, but they had all been served already. In neither case should it have taken more than 45 minutes to get our food. Unless this problem is fixed, we won't stay at Kinnetty again.

The room was small and dungeon like at the very peak f the building. It required a climb of the equivalent of five stories to get to it. The floor was not clean. There was no hot water even after running the tap for five minutes. The room was hot no A/C which was understandable, but no operational windows nor fan.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our stay. The restaurant staff seemed inexperienced and not attentive. It was extremely noisy on our top floor room until about 2am. The other guests were not considerate as we could hear conversations and fighting through the late night. Around 1am we were all woken by the strong scent of cigarette smoke coming into our room. As non-smokers, that is really irritating. It was really uncomfortable. We’re not sure where it came from. The shower curtain has a pink hue on the bottom which is bacteria/mold and should be replaced. Having come directly from a wonderful authentic castle stay the night before, we really wish we would have done our research before booking.

Unadjustable Heat was cranked in the room. Had to Open all windows. Windows only opened maybe 4 inches. Smell of sewer gas came in from one near bed. The drains from the bathroom seemed to run down on the outside exterior of the building and one must have had a leak. Other than that the place was beautiful.

The castle was an amazing experience. Who doesnt want to stay in a castle??
It is FAR into the countryside and without a car, you cannot visit.
The room was stunning but it was so hot and there was no option to adjust the temperature.
Dinner was a challenge. You had to flag down the staff for cutlery after they dropped off the food. Waitstaff did not know the menu and could not advise what was in an item or even what items are being served. Steak was under cooked and the staff didn't come to check on our table until my husband was finished eating and at that point, i had eaten what i could. If we had been staing longer, i would have found alternative dinner restaurants before i would go back to the Dungeon Bar again.

Beautiful, Unique Castle Stay

Kinnitty Castle is a magical place to stay. The staff is warm and inviting, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the common areas are lovely. The beds are HUGE and very comfortable; the \"throne room\" has the most amazing soaking tub and was a welcome amenity after a chilly, rainy hike. The hotel provides a brochure with history of the castle; each room is named for a historical person who is affiliated with the castle and there is a bio for each. There are hiking trails (including a fun fairy trail) around the beautiful, forested property as well as other fun activity options: whiskey tasting, archery, and I believe you can arrange for horse riding. The hotel is currently transitioning to new ownership and they are making strides to refresh the hotel; although there were a few very minor areas of concern (wear & tear, paint, etc), we did not feel like those areas were a negative, we felt like they enhanced the ambiance.
We dined in the Dungeon bar both nights and the food was very good. It can be a little chilly down there, so bring a light sweater or wrap; again- it added to the ambiance. For breakfast, we dined in the main dining room which is very lovely and the food was delicious; we were even blessed by a beautiful rainbow! The staff, especially Aoife, was so excellent. Make sure you book a whiskey tasting with Connor and the lovely afternoon tea!
We stayed two nights and it wasn't enough; we will return to the castle on our next visit to Ireland.

The only thing I’d change were the sheers on the bathroom window (felt a little exposed. The staff were lovely and we would definitely stay again and longer to enjoy the area more!

Forest trails-amazing, room-not so good.

Family of 3 stayed in standard room. 2 double beds pushed together. This room was in serious need of a deep cleaning. Windows were very dirty in the room and bathroom. I do not think they have been cleaned for years. No privacy curtain on bathroom window just a sheer curtain nailed into wall. Bathroom needs to be scrubbed. Mirror was rotting on the bottom of frame. Cobwebs and spiders on ceiling in bathroom. Door frames had cobwebs/dust bunnies all around.
For the amount paid, I would have hoped for a clean space.
The experience was decent because of the woods around the castle. It was amazing and beautiful walking through the forest trails. I would go back just for that.

Sadly, not the same great experience we had in 2019 which is what brought us back. I heard that it was under new ownership, and that things had downhill but decided to see for ourselves. The property is still awesome and we love the authentic feeling of the house and buildings but the staff just didn't seem like they wanted to be there, let alone provide great service. The check in girl send like she was eager to leave for the day and the dungeon dining experience was the worst we had in Ireland. My husband has to get up twice to ask for things that should have been caught by our servers (silverware, the check) It was very quiet and there was maybe two other tables well into their meals so it's not like it was a busy night or anything. The first server to finally great is just first out asked 'if we knew what we wanted for our main course'. No drink order, no hello. I had to explain that we hadn't even gotten drinks yet and that we actually wanted appetizers before our main entrees. The overall feeling I got was that they were very young, inexperienced people working there now that have not had the proper training nor management. We live Kinnitty and really hope this aspect improves.

Lovely Gothic castle with some nicely renovated parts but quite shabby and makeshift. Rubbish strewn around the building- it seems to be no one‘s job to pick it up and keep the place tidy. My bedroom was makeshift, to say the , looking like a DIY job. Staff were all very nice and breakfast was good. It would take millions to put the place right

I totally understand this is a very old,beautiful building which was fantastic to stay in as a Christmas treat for my family from Canada. However, this is no excuse for the horrible sickening smell of urine as soon as we entered the bedroom. The room appeared reasonably clean but on looking closer, it was nothing short of dirty in some areas. Bed was clean but on a slope . Breakfast was good and staff were pleasant and helpful.

Mixed feelings

We had a lovely stay in Kinnity Castle. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. The TV in the room was tiny and badly positioned to view from one half of the bed. Breakfast was lovely but we were disappointed in the quality of the dinner. I had the prawn starter and there were 6 prawns that were of poor quality….looked like the frozen ones bought in supermarkets. I also had the chicken curry and it was just average.

Had high hopes having been here years back .
However it is beyond need of caring love and attention .
The bedroom was way too small for a couple. Bed also too small for a couple.
Walls paper thin allowing us to hear everything next door .
Food in dungeon bar poor to average . For example Cheesecake not a cheesecake but rather an angel delight like whip on top of a sponge. Nothing like any cheesecake ever seen before.
Both the bar and library have potential but need decoration and new furniture…urgently
Truthfully skipped breakfast as we both just wanted to get going and not waste any more time or calories.
In fairness the staff we met were very nice ,it’s only a pity that there is no investment in the surroundings to freshen and warm the place up. .
We both left thinking we had escaped from a 1980s midland nursing home ,the ones when they didn’t have to worry about state inspections or the like.

I mean, a Castle!! It was so unique and beautiful. We felt right at home from the moment we entered the property. We wandered around the castle, took a Fairy Trail with wooden sculptures, and fairies in the trees. A walk along the river was incredible with all the fall colors, red deer and horses in the field!

We LOVED this beautiful castle. From the incredibly kind staff to the beautiful grounds to the amazing accommodations and delicious food, everything was PERFECT! My only wish was to be able to stay longer. If you have an option, do it, you’ll not be disappointed.

The grounds and rooms were wonderful. The staff was also very kind. When we got there they did not at first see our booking which was stressful, but it eventually got sorted. Our first room’s toilet also wasn’t functioning, so then we got moved to a new, upgraded room. They were very nice about it and handled it well, but we were in a time crunch trying to squeeze in as much sleep as possible and the issues set us back by at least an hour which wasn’t ideal.

charming castle, it not feel like a hotel. food and drink was great. I wish we had more time and that there was the ability to have a mountain bike delivered there as there were some great trails just from the parking lot of the castle

One Night at Kinnitty Castle

We booked this hotel last minute when we saw a YouTube video about the Castle. I am so glad we added this stop to our trip. Once we were checked into our beautiful room, we explored the castle and found the Library Bar. It was a cold evening, so we enjoyed drinks and dinner by the fire. We loved everything about our stay. The staff was helpful, and the other guests were so friendly. We can't wait to come back!

The staff and grounds were amazing. Thank you to the chef for preparing our afternoon tea without onions. I know how hard it is, to remake items. And, our favorite little fur host Bootsie, he was with us on almost every walk. Thank you again, we appreciate you all.

It's a castle, what more could you ask for? Tea in the courtyard? Check! Castle-styled rooms? Check! Gorgeous gardens and grounds to walk through? Check! 10/10 would recommend

Really nice hotel, very old but charming, full of character, good food, rooms were clean & comfortable, will definitely return

Didn’t realise there was so much to do in the grounds, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, etc. no mention of any of this on the app when booking !

Room was awful but stay was still awesome

I have to say the rooms were just awful. Why? Bedding was stained, plumbing didn’t work and it feels like the windows are about to fall out. However, we would still return. Staff, grounds food and drinks make it worth it. Kelly’s is a nearby pub in Birr. You must try it. Great drinks and atmosphere.

Worth a stay

Great service, friendly staff and excellent food. The building is quite nice but in need of sound proofing - as conversations the floor above could be heard clearly
Overall, a good place to visit.
