Lovely Castle Stay, with amazing breakfast.

A little expensive for what we got.

Un castello piacevole e curato
Pros:

Ci sono piaciuti lo stile degli arredi interni, il giardino curato e soprattutto i cani del castello!
Colazione di buona qualità,.così come il ristorante di fine dining.

Cons:

Tutto positivo, unica nota un po' stonata gli alberi con i fiori finti... inutili in un giardino bello e curato.

Fantastic
Pros:

Beautiful historic property, welcoming and helpful staff. Shout out to Geraldine in Reception, and Joseph and Doreen in the restaurant.
A caution to walkers: the vast woods behind the castle are not clearly marked, and it’s easy to become lost.

Cons:

Getting lost in the woods behind the castle.

This was the best stay during my whole trip!
Pros:

The castle is a beautiful and comfortable stay. The castle itself is lovely and all the common rooms were nice to spend time in. The staff were so friendly and genuinely helpful. The grounds were nice to roam around and I loved the dogs.

Cons:

My only complaint about the rooms is that there is no plug ins near a mirror which make it difficult to do your hair if you have to use hot tools.

Princess for a night
Pros:

It was absolutely beautiful. It felt like we were traveling in time as if we were in a fairy tale. Grounds were clean and well kept and the rooms were as well. Beds were very comfortable and spacious. Staff were all very helpful and professional. Geraldine was exceptional and courteous at the reception upon arrival. Location is far from the next town but we had a car so it wasn’t a concern for us. We had dinner at the Orangey Bar (I hope I spelled that correctly) food was very good and the staff was great. Overall highly recommend this castle. Meeting Dolan the resident wolfhound was such a treat but he really didn’t want anything to do with us 😢

Cons:

Nothing

Don't miss a night at Ballyseede Castle!
Pros:

Everything you dream about staying in a castle is true at Ballyseede Castle in Tralee! The grounds are beautifully manicured, the castle is grand yet comfortable, our bedroom was fit for royalty, the dining room is beautiful, the food is 5 star and the staff are warm, caring and funny! It was a splurge on our trip to Ireland but we would do it again in a heart beat!
